Smallville Season 10 on DVD/Blu – Favorite Moments

Tabz Leave a comment

It’s hard to believe Smallville is over. The show started just while I was still in college and now it’s 10th Season is available!

Here’s some of our favorite moments from Season 10:

 

1. Clark Meets His Future Self – In the episode Homecoming, Brainiac 5 plays the part of the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.  One of the things he does is take Clark to the future where he sees that Lois knows his secret and is ok with it.  He also meets his future self and realizes that he doesn’t need to fear the future. (Homecoming)

 

2. Clark Tells Lois He’s the Blur – Of course she knew already, but was waiting for him to tell her.  Clark decides, after almost losing Lois, that he wants to be with her.  The great moment is when Clark realizes Lois already knew. (Isis)

 

3. Real Smallville Fans Talk About the Blur – The heroes are in a bad place.  The government wants the vigilanteism to stop.  Clark is questioning his destiny, so Lois and Chloe show him videos of people proclaiming their support of the Blur.  The videos are actually Smallville fans that sent in the videos, reflecting about ten years of the show while sounding like they’re talking about the Blur. (Beacon)

 

4. Lex Luthor Returns – Of all the returning characters in the final season, Lex Luthor was the most anticipated.  The build up was incredible, and we finally got to see Clark and Lex as the enemies we know from the comics.  (Finale)

 

5. Seeing Clark in the Suit and Flying – We’ve waited ten years for this, and it was absolutely worth it.  The moment that Clark makes the decision to fly is very powerful.  He embraces his destiny while still keeping all of his previous adventures in Smallville a part of who he is.  Then, he wears the suit and we see the people of Metropolis looking up at their new here. (Finale)

 

What were your favorite moments from Season 10?

People’s Choice Awards!

Tabz Leave a comment

The People’s Choice Awards are up for voting, the one award show where you have a part to play in who gets the win. This is a great chance for shows that never get the recognition we viewers feel they deserve. Head on over to: http://bit.ly/arSy9z and vote for your favorite stars, music and TV shows!

For my money, here’s some of my picks and why:

Favorite Movie

  • Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides – Very rarely do I say this, but this movie was better than the originals. Very funny, lots of Johnny Depp, an interesting plot line and amazing visuals. “I had stirrings,” for this movie.
Favorite Book Adaptaion
  • Soul Surfer – Had to go with the underdog on this one. Soul Surfer was a great showing by a small film company.

Favorite Network TV Drama

  • Supernatural  – Despite a lot of fan wank over this season, I think it’s been fantastic. Did you see the Fall finale? Had me on the edge of my seat at the end and screaming at the TV. Supernatural pulls off with a small cast what most TV series can only dream of – it has warmth, heart, and monsters. What more could we want? Jared and Jensen deserve massive amounts of praise for delivering stellar performances every week. The amount of emotion and angst the two can portray in a couple simple looks is amazing. So my votes for SPN all the way.
Favorite Cable TV Drama
  • Pretty Little Liars – Over the past years the quality of Cable TV shows has gone up considerably, so this is a rough call for me, but while some of the other TV shows in this category have been dropping in quality and interest, Pretty Little Liars only gets better. Sure, it’s a bit teenagey drama, but that’s what people tune in to see. Great cast, creepy moments and great production makes this a win for this category.
Favorite Network TV Comedy
  • The Big Bang Theory – Need I explain this one? Not only is it the geeky contender, but every episode is so tightly written that I am constantly fascinated by how true the episodes stay to the story. The creators once said they only wanted to tell stories that could only be told on the Big Bang Theory, and they’ve stayed true to that wish. The expanded cast these past two seasons have made the show more balanced, more fun and a must watch every week. Slam dunk win for TBBT.
Favorite TV Crime Drama
  • Castle. Though I watch several of these shows, Castle is the only one that keeps getting better and better. The great story lines with the characters make it more than just your average procedural. And, they do all that without having to get the drama of whose sleeping with whom (*cough Bones cough*), whose in charge (*cough CSI cough*) or how can we outgross ourselves this week (cough Criminal Minds cough).
Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy Show
  • Fringe – Fringe is one of the shows that I often berate people for not watching. It’s smart, it’s sassy, and has one of the best actors on TV on it (John Noble who plays Walter). Fringe is a bit mind bending, but isn’t that what SciFi is all about?
Favorite Guest Star
  • Michael J. Fox (The Good Wife) – I have to go with the nostalga vote here (and I don’t even watch the show), but seeing MJ back on TV was awesome. He was my first celebrity crush, so I have to give the vote to him.
Favorite New TV Drama
  • Person of Interest – I was skeptical, I admit. The premise seemed a bit hard to believe, but Person of Interest is extremely interesting. And major kudos for the recent guest apperance of Enrico Colantoni. Now if they could only get Kristen Bell. Close runner up is Ringer, despite some of the cheeseballness. There’s a lot of great choices in this category so vote Chicago style, early and often!
Favorite New TV Comedy
  • 2 Broke Girls – In today’s economy you need a laugh, and 2 Broke Girls is it. I was already a huge fan of Kat Dennings, and her role in Thor sold me entirely. If you haven’t yet caught this show, go watch, laugh and love.
Vote  in the People’s Choice Awards, it’s one small way you can give back to the shows, movies and music you love. And it’s a lot of fun!

Tabz 1 Comment

Join Tabz, Emma, Kim, Scott, and Heidi as they discuss the BBC series, Sherlock. Tabz and Emma have seen the series before, but Kim and Heidi haven’t!

Episode Recap from Wikipedia:
Sherlock Holmes is commissioned by his brother Mycroft to investigate the suspicious death of a government employee who was working on a top-secret defence project: the Bruce-Partington Project.[40] After apparently rejecting the case and handing it over to Watson, Holmes begins to be taunted by a sinister criminal who puts his victims into explosive vests and sets Holmes deadlines to solve apparently unrelated cases, including a twenty-year-old cold case involving the shoes of a drowned boy, the disappearance of a businessman, the death of a TV personality and the death of a guard of an art gallery at the hands of an assassin called the Golem. As Holmes solves the cases, he finds that they are all linked. After clearing up the case of the civil servant that Mycroft offered him, Holmes tries to force his unseen adversary to reveal himself. Nearing the end of the episode there is a standoff between Holmes and “Jim Moriarty”, who reveals that he is responsible for the crimes. In the final seconds of the episode Sherlock Holmes points his gun at a bomb on the floor.
