Monday nights are back for Prime Time

It turns out that Monday nights are going to be the very best prime time TV nights as far as I'm concerned. So good in fact that I had to call the cable company to add the US Network Time shifting theme pack. I highly recommend the pack by the way at only $2/ month.

I started my evening at 8pm with left over Chicken Wings from Super Sunday and some grocery store potato and egg salad. The wings came out of the microwave at almost exactly 8pm and I turned on House.

The promos had played up the fact that Thirteen was going to get sick from the meds Foreman gave her after he put her on the test drug during the trial. And I don’t think that anyone was surprised to see that he had in fact put her on the drug. But it was a pretty good episode.

There was some back and forth between Cuddy and House that comes to because Cuddy genuinely hates the fact that House is making her be at the hospital instead of at home with her newly adopted baby. Wilson points out the truth later and saves the day and everyone’s sanity.

There was some insight given into Wilson's life since Amber died which I didn't expect. Turns out he’s a broken man that hasn’t moved on even enough to close the last book that she was reading at the kitchen/ dining room table.

In the end House and the team saved the patient (as always) and Thirteen can see again. Foreman doesn't lose his license as long as he never tries to work in a trial again. And House has his cane back (you'll know what I mean if you watched the episode)

I checked my twitter a couple times and sent some texts to my special friend and otherwise my 8 to 9 was covered. Dinner was good, had a couple of glasses of Coke and enjoyed the left-overs.

9pm, Heroes starts! The hiatus has been killing me. I'm a routine based kinda guy. So having Mondays night back is key.

Nathan has started a campaign veiled under the homeland security tag that even gets an Irani-American nervous thinking that he's talking about Arabs and such. We all know (including Peter) that it's about those with abilities.

Cut to Parkman and Daphne. Matt wants to live on the level, while she'd rather speed through things and use what she's got (fair when you consider what happens when she loses her power I figure). The wanderer ends up stopping by in a vision to tell Matt that he should paint the future and after a brief argument Matt’s eyes go all Isaac Mendes and the pen starts going crazy on the paper.

Cut to Claire finding out that Angela is in on whatever scheme Nathan

is planning. Claire is not the nose clean little girl that Noah hoped she'd be.

Stuff starts to hit the fan and our heroes start to get abducted by dudes in all black, super agent looking costumes. Suresh, Peter, Parkman, Hiro, Tracy, Claire, they all get taken (Sylar doesn't, that's right the jerkface is alive and well, kicked a bunch of behind and showed that his abilities are well intact)

-note: during the show I turned the closed captioning on and called the cable company and added the afore mentioned theme pack. The cable girl was great. New channels started working while we were still on the phone. Mission accomplished.

Back to the show. Big warehouse, people with abilities lined up, chained, hooded and walking together. Turns out that Claire is one of them of course as she was taken with Matt from his apartment when she was trying to warn him of what was going to happen. Nathan lets her go and tells her to forget what she just saw. But Claire being the strong willed young woman that she is can't just walk away. Kicks the driver in the head and sneaks on to the plan that the others were herded on to.

Calamity (not the funny kind) ensues and it turns out that Noah is the co-pilot. It also turns out that Peter has his full abilities back as he took some of Suresh’s super strength and Tracy’s super freeze while escaping the cuffs and such that they were locked down in. Thanks to the super freeze ability that Peter stole there's a hole in the side of the plane and there's going to be a crash landing. To be continued... Of course.

The Teaser after the show looks like the show is going to turn into a Lord of the Flies meets Lost situation with the ability gifted running and hiding from The Company and its’ men who will no doubt be able to find out where the plane goes down and send resources.

I had an hour to kill between 10 and 11 because I really don’t care about Medium being on at 10.

I did some dishes, cleaned up in the kitchen a little bit. I updated my Twitter, checked Facebook on my BlackBerry and channel surfed.

To be honest it wasn’t a terribly exciting hour of my night, but I was relaxed and happy that I had already watched House and Heroes and that Chuck was going to be on one of my newly selected US Time shifting channels.

Chuck started right on time and I was smiling big again. The episode was filmed in 3D for whatever reason and as awesome as I’m sure it was for those people that had glasses, I wasn’t ready or equipped with 3D glasses.

Open the show with Chuck in what is clearly a dream sequence because Sarah was in this hot little black lingerie thing that will make a guy like Chuck know that he is dreaming.

I love this show. It’s funny, it’s quick, the people are pretty good looking, overall it’s good stuff. I always forget that the show is an hour long. I’m not sure why, but it always makes me happy when I realize that it’s going to be on for another 30 minutes.

Chuck’s first flash of the post holiday season clocked in at 5 minutes into the episode. And it resulted in a hi-tech grenade being tossed around like a football until it blew up safely.

Perfectly timed cameo: Jerome Bettis, former Pittsburgh Steelers running back guest stars as Big Mike’s college football teammate.

The Episode also featured that little guy that was on Lost as a rock star junkie and a hobbit in Lord of the Rings. The rock star drug lifestyle was joked on when dude was hit with a tranquilizer and woke back up when he was to have been out for 24 hours.

Second Chuck flash: 26 minutes.

Action sequences start as the mystery starts to unfold and I kind of start wishing I had those 3D glasses to see what cool features they had set up. Oh well.

Chucks final flash: 36 minutes.

Action gets heavier and the bad guy is in sight. Chuck and rock star guy, character name: Tyler Martin end up on stage and dive into the crowd to avoid a knife throw by the hitman working for African terrorists. Sarah and Casey get the bad guy in the crowd, the fans help Tyler Martin surf back to the stage and drop Chuck because they don’t know or care who he is.

Show ends with rock star chatting with Chuck, inviting him to party any time, Chuck says no thank you.

Chuck tells Sarah that he saw her shoot the bad guy on Christmas Eve and it messed with his head. She tells him that he deserves some time off and that he can take as much as he needs.

Casey tells Sarah it’s time to go and they go to the car to leave for a mission. Chuck gets the sad little boy, lost puppy look on his face and then climbs into the back of the car to leave.

End show. 11pm.
