A rather meandering night of television as everybody seemed to be content staying in a holding pattern until their season finales.
How I Met Your Mother: A nice episode that finally saw Lily and Marshall tie the knot. As usual, they were able to put their creative spin on the sitcom cliche (in this case the sitcom wedding), but in the end there wasn't anything big about this episode. Nor was their anything that stood out as extraordinarily funny. Barney's con of getting people to do things "for the bride" was fun, as was Marshall's hair disaster. Overall, this one was meant to be more touching than funny. Can't wait to see what goes down during the wedding party next week.
Heroes: This week's episode was entitled "The Hard Part", which evidently refered to the difficulty in coming up with stories before the big finale. Too much of the focus was on uninteresting characters this week. Seeing the softer side of Sylar wasn't very fun at all. Mohinder's always a bore and I'm not quite sure how important Molly really is yet. After so much time spent on having Hiro search for the sword, the thing breaks not three episodes after finally getting it. Doh! About the only redeeming moment of the episode was the reunion of HRG with his Clarebear. Of course, that got sapped of its emotional value by having the focus shift to Peter's glowing hands. Those damn Petrellis! Clare needs to get away from all of them immediately. I can't believe she would even consider carrying a gun and going along with Peter's plan. Anyways, I fully expect things to kick back into high gear next week as we've only got two episodes left.
24: Sadly, not even a terrorist attack on CTU could liven things up on this show. It was fun seeing Jack go gun crazy on the Chinese, but sadly that didn't last very long. It seems like they're going to try and tie everything together by having Papa Bauer connected with the Chinese. They're really going to need to pull out the big guns if they have any chance of salvation for this season. BTW, it was nice to see Milo get capped. Good riddance to dead weight.
Monday Night RAW: I guess we'll call this a draw this week. All the damage done by actually going through with a Cena vs. Khali feud was remedied by having Edge win Money in the Bank. I totally marked out for that. I hate to see Kennedy go down with another unfortunate injury, but I think this move has a lot of potential. Shift Edge over to Smackdown and take the title off of the also injured Taker. Then you have a sweet main event scene on SD with Edge, Benoit, Kane, Batista and eventually a returning Rey Mysterio. Then Kennedy should be healthy enough to be back for WM where he can take on Edge in a feud that has already had seeds planted. The rest of the show was just there as they don't seem motivated to start any new feuds right now. With the Judgment Day card looking like a repeat of the last PPV, I think I'll save my $40.
