My Sunday featured more headaches after watching Dallas Cowboys dismal performance against the St. Louis Rams. I spent some time on the Dallas Cowboys official forum to rant.
But returned to watch some television in the afternoon to catch up on shows that are DVR’d and watched the episodes of the CW’s “Smallville” that I missed.
I love “Smallville” and it’s still great to know that this WB show still continues and the storylines continue to get better and better.
The first episode I watched was Season 8, Episode 3 titled “Toxic” which is an Oliver Queen (aka Green Arrow) episode in which Oliver faints at a party. We learn that he has been poisoned and only has 12 hours to live. Clark, Chloe and Lois do what they can to find a cure. But we learn more about Oliver when he was stuck on an island for two years, how he heightened his bow & arrow skills and also how he knows of Tess Mercer. And we realize that the two were once romantic and now bitter rivals.
Another fun-filled episode, not much Clark but that’s not a bad thing. Also, Chloe’s power of intellect (due to the battle against Brainiac) continues to grow and starts to alarm Clark.
In Season 8, episode 4 titled “Instinct”, Tess and Luthor Corp. use the Kryptonian crystal to send a beacon. It attracts an alien princess named Maxima who is searching for her mate (a strong Kryptonian). While search for him, she kisses a human and because the endorphine levels are so high, she ends up killing them. But what happens when Maxima meets Clark Kent? Also, when Maxima comes across Lois Lane. Another fun episode of “Smallville”.
It was then time for Desperate Housewives on ABC. To tell you the truth, I stopped watching every episode after season 1 but have watch episodes every so often and with the series now taking place 5 years into the future, I really enjoy the storyline and the changes that have taken place with each character.
With Season 5, Episode 4 titled “Back in Business”, we learn more about Bree and her success with her cookbook. Bree has become a Martha Stewart type of woman and her friends are either worried about her success or jealous of it. Lynette, who was a succesful marketing exec before she was married is quite envious of Bree’s success that she tries to come up with marketing campaigns that Bree is not interested in. But what hurts her more is that one of her young workers from the past now owns his own succesful firm and represents Bree. But despite all the success, Bree is unhappy because she knows that her success has changed her friends feelings towards her and most of all, her husband who is now unemployed wants to work with her but she has to decide whether to keep her neighbor and friend Katherine as a partner or hire her husband who is now upset with his wife for not giving him a chance.
All in all a pretty good episode with another hilarious scene featuring Gabrielle and her daughter. In this scene, Gabrielle wants to literally make “blind” love with her blind husband Carlos to know more about his heightened senses. So, she blindfolds herself as they make love. All is great but unbeknownst to her was that her young daughter was watching them all this time. The explanation to the daughter of what they were doing was just hilarious.
That was my Sunday musing for October 19th.
