And this is how last night’s episode ended! Carter on a dialysis machine loking so pitiful, I thought that he was going to cry… I can’t believe the way it ended – I sure hope that they are not going to kill him off in the last episode and that is why they are going to have this big cast reunion there for his funeral! That would be so bad to end the series on such a sad note! Hopefully they will end  it in a way that everyone is coming back to see him because he is sick…

I don’t think that he is still with Kem – just from the way things ended… Wouldn’t she be at his side while he is undergoing treatments? Also they made Carter come back on Valentine’s day – the day he got stabbed in the kidney and Lucy died… then they finish the episode with him on a dialysis machine – does it have to do with the stabbing that happened many years ago or did something happen in Africa? Did he catch something in Africa and had to come back to the States for treatment?

So many unaswered questions… I can’t wait to see what happens and I must say that ER’s last season is one of the best! Each episode has been phenomenal – they are really going to go out with a bang and hopefully not on a sad note. The writing this season is the really good… I am now going to have to watch ER from the beginning all over again – can’t believe that ER has been on for 15 years and I have pretty much watched it since I can’t remember! Thank God for repeats and ER on DVD that I was able to pretty much see it from the beginning…

Wow last night’s episode ended with a bang! I kinda had a feeling that Adrianna was not going to show up and confess that the drugs that Naomi had were hers. I really didn’t think that Adrianna would be dead – well it sure looked like that, she was sprawled on the ground and the paramedics were treating it like an OD. And the way it ended Naomi screaming into the phone “You are dead to me!” – What an ending!

Another thing, Adrianna’s mom – well what a loser! The pressure she puts on her daughter, especially telling her that they were about to lose the house ad that they only had $300  in the bank! From the looks of it, she doesn’t seem to be working, she was only relying on Adrianna to make it big so that she would be able to earn money of her daughter.

The new kid, turns out to be an undercover narc and it is so funny to watch her “flirting” with Ryan. She was definitely turning it on – maybe she suspects Ryan of something and was trying to get closer to him to get the info! Ryan also seemed really upset at Harry for doing the whole drug bust thing. Let’s see what else, love the grandma – her saying that she wasn’t flashing the gardener, that she likes swimming in the nude because she like the way the water glides of her ass!  I find her a riot – she always has some good lines…

Now back to the whole drug bust at the school – Naomi makes it so obvious to the cops when she runs into the bathroom to dump the drugs! Now come on… Naomi was trying to help out Adrianna and now she is in deep shit if Adrianna dies, but wait… Annie saw Naomi take the drugs from Adrianna so maybe there is still hope, since Annie is such a goodie two shoes that I am sure she will come forward.

Oh yeah, almost forgot the whole fake baby thing – the teacher made Annie and Ethan a couple, Navid was part of a same sex couple, which was great when he told the guy he was partnered with (can’t remember his name) – you’re my bitch! Those fake babies brought a couple of laughs…

Well those were the highlights for me, there was a lot more in this episode, but the whole drug thing was wat made it more interesting. Adrianna’s od was no surprise, now the question is will she live or not, since her name is not in the opening credits and she isn’t on any cast pictures!

As I watched “Dancing with the Stars” I was hoping that Cloris would be safe and make it for another week. I have so much respect for that woman, to be able to even pull off some of those moves at her age it must be hard. I can’t even picture myself doing some of those moves and I am so much more younger than she is! Cloris was one of the first two couples to be announced that they were safe! Yay! Watching her yesterday, I couldn’t stop laughing – she was so entertaining! Now I had to wait and see if Lacey and Lance were safe. They ended up being part of the last two couples – but this week it was announced that no one would be leaving because of Misty’s injury. They were not the couple that would have been voted off but I don’t think the judges like their style too much.

After “Dancing with the Stars”, they showed a new episode of “Criminal Minds” on the Canadian networks. Luke Perry (Dylan from BH 90210) was guest starring. I am not a big fan of this show but since “Dylan” was on I thought I might watch it. I really liked his performance… he plays a prophet/leader of a cult.

Luke Perry has been a busy guy, he starred in the season premiere of “Law and Order:SVU” as a father, who is accused of child abuse on his foster son. I wonder if he will make an appearance on 90210, now that we know he is the father of Kelly’s son.

I can’t help myself and watch Dancing with the Stars! I watch it basically for Cloris Leachman and Lacey Schwimmer/Lance Bass. She is just too funny – especially with this week’s paso doble. She was so serious and I thought that she did an amazing job for an 83 year old! You ask why I watch Lacey and Lance – well it is because I find them so innovative and because I loved Lacey on SYTYCD. Here are videos of both of them:

What a week it was for watching TV… let’s try to recap on the shows that I had watched, there are still a few more to watch.  Lets start with “CSI:Miami”, that was one season premiere that I really wanted to see because I didn’t believe that Horatio was dead. My theory was that it was all a cover- up and boy was I glad that that is what it ended up being. It was a very fast paced episode but it seemed that towards the end too many people knew that Horatio was alive. Well I was glad that Horatio is alive…

“Fringe” – the new FOX show keeps reminding me of X-Files. Every time I see Joshua Jackson I can’t stop thinking about Pacey, but I like him in this show a lot better than when he was on “Dawson’s Creek”. I’m really starting to get into this show, I just hope it won’t get canceled like last years “Journeyman”. I wish Olivia would smile once in a while. This week’s episode was called “The Ghost Network” and a good recap can be found here.  The plot thickens with the ending as we see the FBI director exchanging info with the Massive Dynamics lady. So they are in cahoots together and both are interested in Olivia…

I did watch “House” – “Not Cancer”… House is still trying to do all he can to get Wilson to come back, he even goes and hires a private investigator to spy on Wilson… get the recap here. But this week’s “ER” pulled at the heartstrings… I had heard rumours that a main character was going to be killed off and that is exactly what happened. Pratt got really injured in the ambulance explosion from last season’s finale. He seems to be doing ok when all of a sudden his neck starts swelling up and every one goes into panic mode. The staff did their best but were unable to save him. I watched it a couple of hours ago today and still feel a bit choked up about that episode. It was really well done. “ER’s” last season is definitely going to be awesome and it will go out with a bang!

Now for the reality shows that I watched on and off during the week… “Dancing With the Stars” was hilarious with Cloris Leachman, which was pretty much the only reason I kept flipping channels to see what she would do next. I am so glad she didn’t get voted off… It was also nice to see Lacey Schwimmer from STYCD as one of the professional dancers. “Survivor: Gabon” was almost hilarious to watch – Gilian was just driving me nuts – I just couldn’t wait to see her tribe vote her off! And they did YAY!!!! Apparently she had applied 15 times before they finally accepted her! Had she stayed low key she may have been able to survive a couple of days more, but all that talk just got her voted off! Especially when she started saying that you could eat the undigested stuff found in the elephant dung – GROSS!

There are still a few shows left on the DVR to watch… “Heroes”, “Smallville”, “NCIS”, “Gossip Girl”, “Privileged”, “90210″ and “Knight Rider”. I just love having a DVR but I need to find the time to watch all these shows. Let’s hope it rains tomorrow

If you are looking for a good place for recaps, I found that “The Recapist” does a pretty good job!

This week I saw a clip of the season premiere of CSI:Miami, I can’t wait to see what happens – it is hard to believe that Horatio is really dead! Here is a clip of how last season had ended…

Now to this season’s premiere… ETonline reports that CSI:Miami will return with a twist, hell yeh – especially with the promos they are showing. I think that Horatio is alive and Ryan is helping him – lets just hope Ryan is helping him and didn’t have something to do with it. Although lately I started to dislike Ryan… And from the following clip Ryan sure looks guilty…

While on youtube I found this clip “Who Dun It?”, which I thought was very well made… Enjoy!

I loved last night’s 90210 a lot better than the season premiere… I don’t know about you, but it only hit me this episode, when there was a scene with Kelly and her mom, at who her little sister really is! Back on the original 90210 there was baby Erin, who Jackie (Kelly’s mom) won custody of from Mel Silver. Kelly’s sister goes by the name Silver (her last name)… Oh my God has she grown up!!!

In this episode we find out that Naomi’s dad is a cheater and gives his daughter expensive gifts when he breaks his promises… So far I don’t really like this Naomi character – she is so fake! Every time Naomi has a scene I just tune out, sorry can’t help it.

The Wilson family is so like the Walsh family… the friday family night that they had planned and how they knew that their kids had invited all their friends to it… opening their home to Silver and they already had adopted Dixon… they had moved back to be with the grandmother, but where was she in this episode?

The father of Kelly’s son is still not known but we find out it is someone she had some history with – so who will it be: Brandon, Dylan or someone we really won’t expect? Even Kelly’s mom doesn’t reveal who the dad is when they exchanged some pretty harsh words.

The new 90210 does seem to borrow a lot on the old themes and it seems to be working! Annie and Dixon are going to become the next Brenda and Brandon. Speaking of Brenda where was she?

Now onto Privileged – I can’t say enough about this show… I LOVED it! I’m going to watch it again, it had me laughing through the whole show and I just wanted more! The main character, Megan, gets a job as a tutor to two rich spoiled kids. Her first meeting with the girls involves her getting tazered as she walks into the bedroom to wake them up. The girls – Rose and Sage are a handful especially Sage, who I think will turn out to be a real bitch. We find out at the end of the episode that it was her who had invited Megan’s sister to the charity ball. The only burning question I have is – Megan seems to have some sort of past with Palm Beach, so why is she so awestruck by everything she sees? Here is a promo of the show:

I couldn’t wait to watch Season 2 of Gossip Girl, this show is becoming one of my favorites along with The OC and Gilmore Girls. It was on again last night on CW so I got to watch it gain – YAY!. So here is what happened:

The show opens with a 2 minute recap of last season and then straight into Nate having his affair with a married woman and using Serena as a cover up. And boy was he getting it on, didn’t think Nate had it in him! Meanwhile Serena is all alone on the beach trying to get over Dan (Lonely Boy) and Chuck, well Chuck is Chuck… surrounded by a couple of topless women checking his phone to find out that Blair is on her way home. Back in New York Dan is dating up a storm, while interning for his favorite writer. Dan is supposed to be writing an article, which is supposedly going to be better than the one he got published in “The New Yorker”. It is kinda weird seeing Dan doing all this dating – he looked like the shy type in season 1…

Meanwhile Jenny has been interning at Eleanor Waldorf’s company all summer long. She even made a dress for her mean boss to wear for the big “White Party”, which her boss did not want to wear. I loved the way she said it is so huge and then Jenny said “oh no its not for me its for you”. Well anyways that was a mean boss – “eggshell gives me a migraine” and then she dups a huge box of buttons for Jenny to sort!

Back in the Hamptons Chuck is getting ready to go meet Blair ( his slicked back hair made him look nerdy ) while completely denying it to Serena. He really has it bad for Blair, he should have gone to Europe with her! Now Blair will most probably not forgive him… Blair spots him as she gets of the bus and she has a look of surprise but it is Chuck who gets the biggest surprise… Blair came back with a guy who she kissed to make Chuck jealous (loved Blair’s smirk to Chuck after she did that)

Serena and Blair have a lot of catching up to do… Blair can’t believe that Serena say around all summer doing nothing… She had one of the best lines when she reponded to Serena mentioning that there was a lifeguard who asked her out – a lifeguard is like a Kleenex, you use it ince and then discard it! Blair sat shiva all summer long… just as Chuck walks in Blair starts telling all these stories and Serena went along with it… Blair denying that Chuck hurt her – yeah right! Love the way Blair was making Chuck jealous…

Rufus is on tour… Jenny tells her dad how her design was rejected by the mean boss, Laurel. Rufus suggests to her to call Eric to see if he can help her get into that exclusive party… Dan doesn’t come up with his article and get fired from his internship… Jenny does call Eric and apologizes to Eric… Serena finally goes out with the lifeguard… Meanwhile Blair is having supper with the family and brought James… Chuck does his best to try to ruin it by trying to prove that he knows all there is to know about Blair, but James plays along… Blair plants a pin, that Chuck knows is dear to her on James and her plan worked out just the way she wanted it – it got to Chuck! Blair and Chuck are at thier best when they are snapping at each other…

On her way home from her date with the lifeguard, who ends up running out half naked in front of the car – Nate… that was funny! “Damn the mother-Chucker!” “Chuck-bastard” – that was Blair dissing Chuck, loved the way she called James her fake boyfriend… and who the girls run into – Chuck and Nate! Chuck desperately trying to get under Blair’s skin – he is out for dirt on James! He calls his own PI to get dirt on James! Meanwhile Blair is about to “break up” with James, but as she is about to say something she gets a phone call that instead of breaking up she asks James to be her date for the white party! Wonder what that was all about… Nate and Serena agree to keep appearances and go to the party together…

At the “White Party” Jenny comes with Eric wearing her own design and walks right by Laurel (the mean boss) with this huge smirk on hher face… Dan comes to the Hamptons looking for Serena and would you believe it Serena’s grandmother became good and told Dan where to find Serena… she tells Dan that Serena still has him in her heart! Back at the party Blair is doing her best to make Chuck jealous and it is working but James realizes what Blair is doing… He confronts Blair but she tries denying it and he just walks away telling her that Chuck and her deserve each other… Blair confronts Chuck and blames him for everything… With Eric’s help Jenny impresses Tinsley Mortimer with her own design in front of her mean boss… Nate is upset at seeing his lover with her husband and wants her to feel as bad as he is feeling, so he and Serena put on a very public show – making out all kinds… and who gets to see this well poor Dan!… all of Serena’s explanations don’t make it any better since she can’t reveal who they were trying to make jealous…then two of Dan’s “dates” spot him and now he has some explaining to do! He gets wine thrown at him and as Serena is trying to get the jacket clean they kinda make up… Blair finds James and admits that she was trying to make Chuck jealous and then James reveals something no one was expecting – he is a Lord! and starts talking in a british accent… just as Chuck is getting the phone call with the same info… Blair is shocked but from the looks of it she isn’t going to be breaking up with him any time soon…

Jenny is confronted by her mean boss – Jenny tells her that she will be staying at Waldorf Designs and not accepting Tinsey’s help to find her an internship… Jenny accomplished exactly what she had set out to do… Chuck tries apologizing to Blair but is he really sincere, when Blair asks him to give her a good reason and say what she wants to hear he isn’t able to do it… with that Blair gets in the car and drives off with James… Nate’s fling may be turning into something more… Dan finally is able to write while he waits for Serena on the beach…

And the summer ends with fireworks and Dan and Serena kissing…

So Gossip Girl is back for another season and the season premiere was really hot! There were so many juicy plot lines that I don’t know where to begin… Nate having an affair with a married woman, Dan being a playboy and dating up a storm according to Jenny, Chuck being Chuck and Blair trying to make him jealous with her boy toy – those two will eventually hook up! Here is a recap taken from the official Gossip Girl site on CW:

As the summer draws to a close in the Hamptons, Serena (Blake Lively) and Nate (Chace Crawford) have everyone fooled into thinking they are a couple to cover up the fact that Nate has been hooking up with a married older woman (guest star Amick) and Serena has been secretly mourning her break-up with Dan (Penn Badgley). Blair (Leighton Meester) returns from abroad with a hot guy on her arm (guest star Patrick Heusinger), making a very jealous Chuck (Ed Westwick) question his decision to leave Blair stranded at the heliport. Dan has spent the summer assisting a famous author (guest star McInerney), but decides to head to the Hamptons to see how things stand with Serena after a summer spent apart. While interning for Eleanor Waldorf’s company, Jenny (Taylor Momsen) sneaks an invite to a much-coveted Hamptons’ White Party at which Eric (Connor Paolo) introduces her to socialite Tinsley Mortimer.

Here is the list of songs from this season’s premiere – “Summer, Kind of Wonderful”

Buzzin’: Shwayze
Crazy : Jem
Fell In Love Without You (Acoustic) [Bonus Track] : Motion City Soundtrack
Google Me : Teyana Taylor
Paparazzi : Lady GaGa
Reverse Of Shade : The Windupdeads

I only started watching this show a couple of weeks ago, since basically right now it is all re-runs. I became intrigued by this show and got hooked. I wish I could have seen it from the start, maybe I’ll be able to see it on the Food Network from the start. This week was the season finale and it was down to Petrozza and Christina. I liked both of them so it was hard to pick a favorite. In the end Christina won!!! Here is a good recap of the show.

I am glad that she won and being so young she will go a very long way!
