Supernatural 402: Are You There God? It's Me, Dean Winchester
I, for one, am happy that vengeful ghosts like to talk the protagonists ears off before going for the heart like Mola Ram. We sure got to hear some juicy stuff; for example, Meg's background, and perhaps a rape accusation?
This is pretty open to interpretation, but I think Sam has indeed been sleeping with Ruby, and Meg is reminding him to think about that other girl in Ruby's body. I guess time will tell.
Time will also tell if, when rewatching this episode a year or two later, I will laugh at "$5 gallon o' gas Apocalypse." Oh, Dean.
Meg: You know what really pisses me off, Sam? You saw how I suffered for months. I thought you must have learned something. I thought I died for something.
Sam: Meg--
Meg: But what you're doing with that demon, Ruby . . . [a "knowing" nod] How many innocent bodies has Ruby burned through for kicks? How many girls just like me? And you don't send her back to hell? You're a monster!

America's Next Top Model 1105
Who Wore It Better?
And what did NY Fashion readers think about the designs themselves?
Uncredited Jeremy Scott model or McKey? Did Jeremy modify the blindfold idea, or was it the other way 'round? He did steal the curtain idea, though, from Scarlett O'Hara.
44% find this look fabulous.
Analeigh's definitely got the healthier proportions.
88% find this look fabulous.
When Jeremy dissed how Samantha pulled up his dress, I thought he could have avoided the problem by making the dress more like a dress and not a shirt.
73% find this look fabulous.
I'd say hello, Riddler, except Jeremy has a dress even more Riddler.
32% find this look fabulous.
Money and Time? What is this, Dark Side of the Moon?
55% find this look fabulous.
Hands down Sheena.
76% find this look fabulous.
Only the hardiest of people can pull off this dress, so kudos to both.
45% find this look fabulous.
To think Joslyn was only rewarded with a one-dimensional Kira Plastinina shoot.
55% find this look fabulous.
Why didn't ANTM release an official runway photo of Clark? Shafted!
46% find this look fabulous.
I was right that Hannah would leave before Isis, but just barely.
64% find this look fabulous.
Even without a full frontal shot, I know Isis rocked this better. I hope she works out her insecurities and that we see more of her in the future.

Heroes 303: One of Us, One of Them
The myriad characters that inhabit this world are not all interesting; some are downright annoying--like Daphne. French fries are more French than that girl. But without all these characters, how can the writers ensure that as little happens as possible in each episode?
Nice, though, to see Jamie Hector, aka Knox, aka Marlo Stanfield from The Wire. Having absorbed the realism of The Wire, I was unable to watch certain shows that I started right after, such as Veronica Mars (Veronica was such a user and yet remained popular, despite her declarations to the contrary) and Prison Break (I was told this was a great show if you can suspend your disbelief, but I just wasn't able to). Speaking of Veronica Mars, I don't mind seeing more of Elle, though I guess there's no more Weevil/Jesse to see.
Sylar is still the main attraction. I wish the writers would stop humming "It's a Small World" and make everyone related. And Sylar's "hunger"--some powers just seem a bit unnecessary given the ones he already has. Does he need a sonic boom voice when he can effect the same strength with telekinesis? Perhaps if he's bound but not gagged. He has forgotten about some of his abilities, too, or perhaps he's on the road to recovering some still. We don't see him using his super-hearing ability or his paint-the-future ability.
Painting the future was always one of the shittier abilities, not necessarily in a story sense but in an imagine-if-I-had-a-power sense, but now we have discovered an even shittier one--being able to paint the future of only Parkman. And since when does this finished product . . .
require this startup . . .
? Where are my beautiful black blots in the final painting? We need to see more care in the production of this once-interesting show.

Real World: Hollywood Episodes 6-13 Plus Reunion
Best of the Rest
Never Mentioned Again
The Verdict
Real World: Denver > Real World: Hollywood
- After Greg is kicked off the show and Joey leaves, Nick and Brittini move in. And what does Nick do but immediately bring back "regulars" to the house? We now know that RW groupies do exist. RW cast members may be sluts, but at least they were cast. How embarrassing for Reva and that other chick.
- Will falls hard for Janelle, but immediately questions his relationship when Brittini walks through the door. DOG!
- More "ghetto" remarks--this time from Sarah, who asks Nick, "Who do you think you are? Charles f---ing Barkley?!!"
- The Reunion show almost enters Jerry Springer world when Janelle (rightfully) confronts Will and questions (1) why did he not have the decency to warn her about the foursome he had with Dave? and (2) why was he such an ass to proudly declare his method to fake tears in order to win Janelle back? No shirt tearing, though, and Lindsay was no Jerry Springer (she's worked for MTV for four years?). Couldn't they get Sarah or Nick to host?
- Sarah and Joey admit they couldn't stand to watch the show.
- Brittini is at the Reunion solely to apologize to her beau and to reemphasize how much he means to her and how long ago this Will fiasco was.
Never Mentioned Again
- Brianna's assault charge
- Will's career
The Verdict
Real World: Denver > Real World: Hollywood

When Do CW Shows Come Online?
America's Next Top Model and Supernatural showed up on the CW site tonight (Monday night), and it was not available earlier in the day. Next week I will try to pinpoint the time.
As for watching the shows, I have to wait for my husband, so I will post about them tomorrow.

Heroes 302: The Butterfly Effect
The Good
| The Bad
|
The Ugly
|
I kid; I like the Butterfly Effect movie.
*General Weirdness
- Claire's birth mother, instead of hugging Claire, said hello by exhibiting a flaming palm? Hugs first, explanations later, please.
- Claire's adoptive dad, Noah, claimed he was so worried about Claire, but didn't bother checking up on her first?
- Future Peter cannot teleport himself until he has taken a few steps forward and is asked where he is going. Save yourself the energy and leave already.
Why am I still watching?
