The Shield: Game Face

This week's episode was called Game Face. My thoughts:

Yo Flash is back son!  Dutch still trying to nail him for killing that kid but once again Flash is 2 smart for that.  I wonder if he'll keep up popping up the rest of the season, I was surprised they brought him back.

Plus that asian dude from Prison Break was in this episode also.

I wasn't feeling this episode so much for some reason.  Maybe it was because there was no Billings comedy.  I don't know.  I also didn't remember that black dude playing lawyer to save his life, that could've been another reason.

Cassidy sets up a Pimps & Hos party? LOL!   That crazy bitch has lost it.

I'm with Shane on this episode.  Give up the box and save your own skin and your family's.  Farmington's streets are always gonna be fucked up.

LOST Spoiler

There is a spoiler in here but not storywise just castwise.  It's been out for awhile now it seems but I only found out today.  Why haven't you reported this Mania, why!!!!!!!!!!??

Anyway, since Lost is still a few months away, here's something to keep in mind for the next season:

Claire Littleton will not appear in Season 5.  She will be back for Season 6.

Why, who knows?  Is she dead and that's why she was with Christian Sheppard?  I think she might be dead.  She probably got shot up when the evil freighter folk were shooting up the Barracks. Most of her scenes after that were with people that have seen dead people during some point of the show.  Locke, Sawyer & the island's very own Ghostbuster, Miles.

The Shield: Genocide

This week's ep was titled "Genocide".  My thoughts:

Hey it's Flash from Smallville!  What's he doing in Farmington?  Playing a  young serial killer that's what. Not only that but a smart serial killer cause he got away.  I hope they bring him back some other time and nail his ass.  It's doesn't happen a lot that Dutch can't prove a case.  I doubt he'll be back, I think they already did that (bringing back a guy Dutch couldn't close) in one of the other season.

The level of stupidity the head gangsters have is annoying.  Renzin belives Vic before his own guys and now Penzuela does the same thing.  Vic & Co set up the meeting between the Armenians and Mexicans, Penzuela sends a guy he trust there.  Renzin says they don't have the black box and then offers his services to help the Mexicans find it, the mexican believes him and tells Penzuela but then Penzuela chooses to believe Vic.  Sure, that makes sense.

Good play by Vic spin it afterwards though with the help of that little black box.  I loved how the episode ended, with that FBI chic having info to screw Vic & Aceveda over.

Oh, almost forgot, what the hell is up with Cassy?  Can't anyone bitch slap her so she can show so damn respect!!?  I'm starting to think Cassy may be what brings Vic down.  This is the second time she goes to a cop with stuff about her father.

The Shield

The site doesn't have time for The Shield apparently but I know a lot of you watch it so I'm starting The Shield blog!!  Each week I'll have a spot to talk about that week's episode.

I won't review it cause I don't have time for that which is weird since I have time to be wasting on here all the time.  Anyway, basically if you peeps want just come on in and state what you think is going down and what you thought of the episode.

This week's episode was title "Money Shot".

Loved the episode.  Tina is damn hot, they should have her running around in mini skirts all the time or in sex scenes like when they showed her ass last season.  Excellent.

I liked that Ronnie basically said fuck u I ain't going down for you guys. 

Vic needs to grow some balls and bitch slap that daughter of his and his wife.  Vic puts his foot down after Cassidy pushes Corrine and then Corrine is screaming at Vic to get out of the house. Vic wants to apologize to Cassidy and then just leaves the house?  WTF!!?  Don't stand for that bullshit Mackey.

Rezin(sp?) is pretty damn stupid.  I ain't buying how he believes everything Vic & Shane are selling him.  He won't trust his boys before 2 cops that had robbed him before?  Doesn't sound right.

Vic should forgive Shane and not play him like he did at the end of the episode.  Killing Lem wasn't right but Shane did it to protect the rest of the guys and the only reason he told the Armenian chic about the Money Train was because Vic was getting into Shane's business. 

Excellent season so far.

Green Lantern

I just read Latinoreview's Green Lantern script review and it got me excited because that's two different sources that have taken a look at the GL script and both have said good things about it.  Looks like WB has their head in the game with their comic book franchises which means good things for us!

I wasn't very knowledgeable when it came to Green Lantern but I knew the film is eventually gonna come out and since IESB raved about the script I wanted to read up on a few GL comics.  My good friend Wiseguy562 recommended a few so I would be prepped for the big GL story arc that's coming in 2009 called Blackest Night. I took his advice and I've read up on a few of them and I gotta say I love the character and the story arcs I've read so far.  Thanks Wiseguy!  In case you are wondering, I've read the following: Rebirth, Sinestro Corps War, Secret Origins and I just ordered Emerald Twilight and Emerlad Dawn.  I'm sure there are many more excellent GL story arcs but those focus on the main guy Hal Jordan, who was the one I wanted to read up on since the film is gonna be based on him.

Having read those comics and now the script review, I am definitely looking foward to this film and I hope and pray that WB doesn't screw it up because a Green Lantern franchise done well is gonna kick major ass.  Just the special effects alone should be insane with all the things GL's ring can create.

About the script review, it mentions they are going with Legion as the main villain.  Granted I know nothing of Legion but I did read some info on him at Wikipedia and I think he'll be a good villain and it makes sense to stick with that origin of GL instead of what they are doing with GL: Secret Origins right now.  I think it makes sense and I like it more for the film because it doesn't make Sinestro the main villain right off the bat and it allows for the Jordan/Sinestro relationship to have more meaning by showing the teacher/mentor/friend side of it.  Plus it doesn't bring into play any of the other colored Corps which can be saved for later sequels.

So the script apparently is great.  Now WB needs to nail it when it comes to the cast and director.  I personally don't like any of the directors rumored for the film right now so I'm hoping they get someone else.  My picks to direct the film are Alex Proyas or Alfonso Cuaron.  As far as the cast goes, I can't think of anyone for Hal Jordan who I think we'll be portrayed a la Maverick in Top Gun.  I did see a picture of Ashton Kutcher in The Guardian film and he looked the part but I don't know if he could pull that off and I'm not a fan of his work.  As far as the rest of the characters, I think Hugo Weaving could be Sinestro, Dijmon Hounsou as Abin Sur, Dennis Quaid as Hector Hammond and Evangilne Lilly as Caroll Ferris.

Who do you guys got for the cast?

Please WB get this movie right!!
