What we watched - Boardwalk Empire, Ep. 6
Jimmy, Al and the boss go to meet the Greektown guys, and they have a meeting where tempers flare but Jimmy et al have the final laugh as the coat check girls are in on it, and slip them guns. Everyone dies. Nucky is keeping two women and they know about each other. He bails on Margaret and that will likely come back to bite him. Lucky finds out that it isn't Jimmy's wife that is putting lead in his pencil, it's his Mom. Will that affect him? Likely.

What we watched - Boardwalk Empire, Ep. 5
Lots happened this episode, the "lady" that Jimmy was with is recovering from having her face slashed, turns to alcohol and kills herself. Nucky tries to ignore Margaret's ideas and prohibition requests, which she then has the beer garage busted, and one of Nucky's men dragged off to jail. He then goes to Margaret and they get busy. Jimmy's Mom is attracting the attention of Lucky.

What we watched - Big Brother, True Blood
BB - Finally the blow-up from last Thursday's show that was talked about. Shelly stood her own with Jeff, and Jordan finally got mad. Porsche wins HoH, wow. You know she will put up Rachel and Jordan, right? Wait, Pandora's box! Duos are back on. Play as a duo and win veto as a duo. Wrench in plans, there.
TB - Tommy finally dies, good riddance, never liked the character. Sam and Alcide go after the werewolves responsible, while the head guy is making time with Alcide's girl. The vamps come up with a plan to blow up the witch shop. Sookie has to save Tara though! They plan to get close and Jesus tries to go in, and is hit with a wall. Marnie+ancient witch challenges him to make it through the wall. Jesus devils up and gets through. Meanwhile Tara and the other waitress reverse the protection spell, and Sookie, Lafayette, and Jason try to get it, with the witch taking all of them except Jason. We then see the 4 main vamps in black approaching with guns and stuff, looking kick-ass. There was a Balflour side story too that bored me.

What we watched - Paul (Movie)
Big Simon Pegg fan, bought this to continue my collection of his movies. It was...only alright. Not on the lines of Shaun of the Dead or anything, but entertaining none the less. I'd give it 3/5 stars.

What we watched from PVR - Rookie Blue
The PVR almost didn't record this. The Rogers Guide didn't have it listed as new. Had to manually record it late in the night. Good show though, Dove and Chris's tension, Sam and Andy's sexual tension, and the guy that kidnapped his own kid. Pretty good story development on this episode too.

What we watched live - Big Brother
Double eviction. After being lead to believe that Dani would be staying, Rachel turned and voted her out. Quick turnaround and Kalie wins HoH, and then nominates Jeff and Rachel. Porsche wins veto! The house votes out Jeff. Wow! Shelly turned at exactly the right time. Jordan now joins Rachel on the sniffle parade.

Veto night, Jeff won in the building of Mrs. Zingbot. Not sure if it was just me, but half the time the Zingbot's voice was too high to understand what he was saying. Anyway, he took Porsche off and put Dani up. Dani will likely go home...

Now we are caught up...well, one season behind at least. The raccoon episode was funny, Gene spent the whole night on the roof! Funny, how the cameraman wouldn't help him...

What we watched - Boardwalk Empire, Eps 2 & 3.
Just getting around to watching, watched Ep 1 so long ago, forgot how good it was. Jimmy is going down. Gretchen Mol, as Jimmy's Mom, sweet! Is Jimmy going to end up as being Nucky's son? The one playing Margaret is so plain, and contrasted against Paz's Lucy, is perfect!

What we watched from PVR - Rookie Blue
What we watched live - Big Brother, True Blood
RB - Horses and Mandarin Mafia, what a great combo. The horses send Dov into a drug-induced babble where he tells Peck he loves her. Awkward! Andy is asked out by the head horseman. Traci connects with a fake bomb threat girl, who was trying to protect her boyfriend, and it turns out that he was trying to kill her. Nash saves the day!
BB - The continuation of the HoH comp. As predicted Jeff wins, and nominates Porsche and Kalia. Dani is already in the Veto comp, so it should be easy...?
TB - Nan drops by and learns about the witches, she has to get silvered, she's not happy. Sookie is having threesome dreams. The coven is held captive by the ancient witch, Lafayette/Aunt Jemima and Mikey are hold up in Hoyt's house. Jesus helps Jemima and the baby reconnect, and she leaves Lafayette's body. Jess and Jason get it on. Sam and Luna do it too, while fake Sam is getting the crap kicked out of him by werewolves. Alcide spends the end of a second episode running away with someone in his arms.

Very fast moving movie with little story. Perfect fodder for a Friday night. Somewhat confusing twists, but not bad. 3/5 stars.

Yay! Brendon is out...again. Hopefully Rachel follows close behind. There is a double eviction next Thursday, right on! Just looked at spoilers to see which HG won HoH, and it could be interesting.

What we watched live - second half of "Life as we know it" (Movie), "You Again" (Movie)
Two movies in one night, well 1.5 really. The rest of LAWKI was good, the investment of the social worker was great, and the happy ending of course. I expected a second baby, but that's okay. 4/5 stars.
You Again was pretty good too. Odette was good as the bad girl, and Kristen Bell as the nerd done good was a good character as well. Jamie Lynn Curtis and Sig Weaver's past could have been more played up, and the Tim character, well pretty much anything he's been in, cracks me up. 4/5 stars too.

What we watched Live - 1/2 of "Life as we know it" (Movie)
Rookie Blue - A story not completely about Andy! The station gets quarantined, and there's a blue guy that obviously robbed a bank. The folks on the inside use the resources to lead around Luke, Dove, and Bomb girl to find the partner that happens to be Smurfette.
LAWKI - Pretty good so far. Actually surprisingly good. Messer character is very believable. The unreal part is that the baby was left to them, but based on the process where they try to find others amongst the family and friends to take them, they figure out they are the best ones.

BB - Brendon is back in the house, so it's HoH time...all 6 of the newly formed alliance go down in a row, and Porsche and Dani are left, Dani wins. The rest of the house poops their pants. She nominates Adam and Shelly. What??
True Blood - Jess is not dead but wants away from Hoyt, she runs to Jason and he rejects her. Sookie renews Eric and vice versa and they run naked through a snow shower....?? Lafayette channels the woman that has been following him around then he/she takes satan baby. The witches and vamps square off, and Sookie gets shot. Eric gets tamed, or some shit.

What we watched live - Big Brother
Why isn't BB in HD? Huh, CBS? Anyway, Lawon gets the sweep of votes to go home, but gets a chance to battle a prior evicted HG to stay in, and America voted that it be Brendon...seriously? Epic fail. Brendon then beats Lawon and is back in the house. Well, I guess I can watch something else on TV for these three nights a week.

Well, technically we PVR'd it and watched it at 10:30, but close enough. The Veto competition went as thought with Jeff winning, but Lawon volunteering to go home was dumb. Rachel needs to be put down.

What we watched live - Big Brother, True Blood
BB - Kalia and her nominations. Jeff bullied her, and it wasn't a great side of him. Rachel got pissy and tried to go after Dani on more than one occasion...awkward! She nominated Jeff and Rachel (yeah!)
True Blood - The season of the witch. The 400 year old witch is on the war path and attempts to bring out the vamps into the light. They are all aware and take steps to silver themselves. The Tara stuff is boring, Sam kicks his brother out..again. Lafayette sees and hears ghosts? Pam gets a literal skin peal, and Ginger riding the coffin to keep her in it is hilarious. Jessica breaks free of the silver and walks into the sun as Jason is racing to save her, and...fade to titles. Frig!

What we watched from DVD - Gene Simmons Family Jewel S5, Disk 2.
Moving it along on a Saturday night. The episode where Gene got marketing ideas from the class and then pitched them to his client, I thought was kinda cheesy, but then when he gave sleeping beauty credit and $20,000, that was cool.

What we watched "live" - Faster (movie)
Rookie Blue - the panty stealer. I agree with the characters, panty is a weird word. Once more, Andy gets herself in trouble and has to be saved. Luke is put to an end, and it seems that he ends it with his ex again. How many weeks until they are back together again...?
Faster - short on story, long on getting to the point. Two old Losties was great. Mr. Echo seems smaller. Good thing it was a short movie. 3/5 stars.

Veto night, Brendon wins, and that sucks. He thinks he has everyone fooled that he is going to use it on himself, but instead uses it on Rachel, and that means he will be homeward bound tonight. Jordan was the replacement nom.

What we watched from DVD - Family Jewels Season 5, eps. 4-7?
I'm pretty sure we watched 4 episodes. We find out Nick has a girlfriend, and she's very cute. Nick almost gets beat up for flirting, or rather, being flirted with, on a business trip with Gene.

Shannon's Biopsy, and Gene turns 60. Finally Paul Stanley shows up on the show. My wife was so happy, he's her fave. When Shannon is talking about her fam, and knowing they are all from here, it just makes it a little more real. Anyway, great start to the season.

BB - Fallout from the HoH and Brachel's attacks on Dani from last show. Fittingly, Dani wins HoH, and the vets are shitting in their pants. Rightfully so. Brendon and Rachel get nominated. Thank Jeebus!
True Blood - Eric and Sookie's sex romp is interrupted by Bill. Eric is slated for the true death...jealous much, Bill? Jason is convinced he will were-panther under the full moon, and Jess is there to help him. The witch channels the old witch and now is powerful which I guess will help further that story along. Tara hooks back up with her kick-boxing lesbian girlfriend, but Rotting Pam looks to end that. Tommy shifts into Sam? But it seems as if it kills him? Sookie and Eric reconnect in the end as Bill has a change of heart, and Sookie and Eric get busy in the forest.
