LOST S05E05 [EPISODE REVIEW]
Is this show freaking awesome or what?? Wow!! let me say that a few more times!! WOW WOW WOW!! damn! this show is simply amazing!! I have always been biased and have kept 'Entourage' as my favourite tv-show/series...but when it comes to drama, mindblowing suspense, intriguing supernatural happenings, and some superb performances and even more superb scripting, screenplay, editing, direction and narration - LOST will always be far above all other shows!!
What an amazing episode!! I cannot get over this episode! I have already seen the episode twice in two hours and feel like giving a break to my episode review and watching it again! So much has happened in this episode and everything now makes so much sense and you just can't but continuously applaud the writers of the show of how about there creative thoughts have elevated this show to a whole new level!! WOW!!!
Jin is stuck with the French survivors (which includes Danielle), and after a few time flashes he reunites with Sawyer and others. Its good to see him reuniting and Charlotte helping him understand about the flashes and all...Fast forward Sun has her gun aimed at Ben when Ben breaks out that Jin is still alive and he can show her the proof...Sayid and Kate walk off from the scene and Sun along with Ben and Jack head towards where Ben would give Sun the proof!
Coming back to the island, after a few quick random time flashes Charlotte acts strangely and tells Jin in Korean not to let Sun come back to the island! She also tells Locke that if the orchid is not there then look for the well! Daniel Faraday stays back with Charlotte and the rest head on to find the Orchid/well. In the meantime when Charlotte is alone with Faraday, she tells him that she has been to this island and a man in her childhood in the very same island told her that she would eventually die if she comes back to the island. Thats not freaky but the very next part is when she tells Faraday that the crazy man that told herthis was none other then Daniel Faraday himself!! WOW!! But sadly soon after that Charlotte passes away :(
Ben drives Sun and Jack to a church and before entering the church, he shows Sun a wedding ring that belongs to Jin which eventually was given to him by John Locke when he met Ben. It seems that Ben is on the right track and is finishing off what Locke couldnt do. I hope he doesnt have any further grey shades to show! Even if he is still a negative character, I dont give a damn as long as the rest of the season is as kick-ass as the first 5 episodes.
Coming back to the church scene, Enter Desmond (yaaaayy!! i love his character!). Desmond approaches Ben, Sun and Jack asking them whether even they are here to see Faraday's mother. When they enter the church, Faraday's mother turns out to be the same lady that was shown in the earlier episodes who worked in the butcher shop and had a few conversations with Ben! Apparently, Faraday's mom would lead them back to the island!
It'll be interesting to see how Sayid, Kate, and Hugo will join Ben's crew to get back to the island. It'll be interesting to learn more about Daniel's past. His story is really one of the highlights of this season. I wonder if we'll get to see more of Locke in this season, after his brave sacrifice (whether they'll show him approaching Ben and telling him all about what needs to be done). I wonder if Miles has something to his character that'll further spark up the show!
Lets keep our fingers cross and hope that the rest of the season stays as amazing as it is at the moment or gets even better (it cant get better then this...but if it does then standing ovation to the cast and crew of LOST).
Till the next expisode,
Over and Out!! :)
HEROES S03E15 [Episode Review]
After watching probably one of the best ever climax of an episode (episode 14), one expected episode 15 to be even greater, sadly thats not the case! The episode was good but what it all dealt was with the aftermath of the plane crash and the rest of the prisoners (heroes) fleeing away from the crash scene.
Sadly, we dont have Daphne any more in the series as she was shot by Nathan's gunmen...but you never know she can make a comeback probably after getting a blood sample injected from Claire. Anyways I am glad that we'll have a break from Daphne's and Matt's love story for a while.
Peter is still having troubles with his powers as he can control only one at a time! I hope Ando with his supercharger ability can help him sort out his powers. It'll also be interesting how Hiro gets his powers back, if he ever does?? I bet he would then there would be no point of him bragging about his legacy and all! Matt's new ability of drawing the future seems cool!
Sylar continues to show his never ending cool grey shades. It'll be interesting to see how he'll confront his bioligical father and how the new kid that will lead him (Sylar) to his father play out to be! Nathan as the bad guy seems cool and realistic as he has the whole backup of the US government.
Till the next episode...
Over n out!

Smalville s08e14 [Tv Show Review]
Oh My GOD!!! What an amazing episode.
Smallville has reached a new high in my books. Just when you think they’ve done it all, they come out and pull and extraordinary episode out of the bag.
The episode starts with a scene from the LuthorCorp building with a board of director meeting. Oliver shows up announcing that he has bought controlling share in the company. Just then a time bomb goes off killing everyone in the room except Oliver.
Olive suspects that the person behind the attack is Lex via a mastermind he fired several years ago. Chloe is able to track the toy maker down, just then Clark shows up and talks Chloe into giving him the information.
And behold it was Lex behind the bombing. But he doesn’t stop there. He has plans to separate Clark and Lana. The roof of the Daily Planet is rigged with enough kryptonite to take the whole city out. Lex gives them the option to either walk away or let Lana absorb the kryptonite which would make her a walking kryptonite rock never to be able to come close to Clark close.
Chloe had rigged a PDA, iphone, with a tracker to track Lex, she gives Clark that to track him down. Right after the scene from the roof of the Daily Planet, Clark furious runs to kill Lex. Lana comes in his way to stop him from doing something he will regret for his whole life of if not that then change him forever. During this conversation with a semi truck in the background where Lex is suspected to be, a bomb goes off killing Lex.
It turns out that the person behind the bombing is none other than Oliver Queen. Chloe discovers this and confronts Oliver, where he rationalizes Chloe into staying quite about him behind the bombing.
Back at the barn Clark finds Lana, unable to go close to her. Lana tells him that she is leaving, where Clark tries to stop her and approaches her. With all the kryptonite Lana has absorbed Clark struggles to get close to her and kisses her. The kryptonite starts to attack his mouth with Lana running away and saying goodbye with an I Love You.
A truly amazing episode, one for the books.
Until the next review,
Eddy Out!

LOST S05E04 [Episode Review]
This is one show, that keeps on getting better and better!! Wow, what an amazing episode yet once again! JJ Abrams deserves a pat on his back for probably putting up one of the best tv-shows of all time! Although this isnt the best episode in recent times of Lost but definitely one that does justice to the super intriguingly interesting season premiere! This episode revolves around all of the characters and unlike last time no one is left out!
Coming straight to the plot of the episode, We all by now know that the lawyer chasing Kate and Erin was actually working for none other than Benjamin Linus. It will be interesting how Kate will handle Jack and Sayid and talk them out of going back to the island with Benjamin.
In the last bits, Sun is shown with a gun sitting in the car with Erin. I have a feeling she'll go out and attack Benjamin rather than Kate (the way they showed it, it seemed at one point she'll go after Kate). But if Sun goes on to attack Kate, what would happen with Erin?
Its great to see Jin being rescued by some Frenchmen on a rescue boat near an island. What is even more freaky is the fact that amongst the french team there is woman none other than Danielle Rousseau!! Wow that scene really freaked me out! Therefore, Jin like the other survivors on the island is stuck in time flashes! and this time they all are back in the past again!!
Till the next episode...stay tuned :)

House MD [Episode Review] S05E14 "The Greater Good"
Another episode that has nothing so special or the special "House" ingredient in it! Coming straight to the case, the case talks about a retired doctor, researching on cancer cure, who now is suffering from an unknown disease...This episode adds a bit of excitement as it shows Thirteen going blind for a while and an immediate operation is required to remove a tumor.
The episode would have been great if they didnt cure Thirteen straight away so that we would have some sympathy for the bitch and looked forward to the next episode! The rest is the usual, House ultimately finds a cure...and everyone goes back home happily!!
This show has lost the edge it used to have on Grey's Anatomy or even ER. Its hard to imagine that this is the same season that gave us some AMAZING episodes pre-christmas and writer's strike. Lets hope the writers of the show stop thinking too much about their paychecks and give us a quality show!
Over and Out!!
