A Week's Worth

• What I'm Watching/Listening To/Reading:
• Before I get to catching up on the week in pop culture, let me say that I saw the Capitol Steps tonight for the first time. I'm going to borrow one of the most famous debate lines from the President-Elect: They're funny enough.
• Okay, so... This season of Heroes has been so-so. They're trying to recapture the feeling of the first season, but it seems a bit self-derivative. I like the complexity in Sylar, though that scene of him asking Elle to show her anger while she blasts him with lightning was very much like the Emperor going after Luke in Episode VI. I'm a big Robert Forster fan -- he maybe even steals Jackie Brown in ways -- but he's the only really fresh thing on the show. That being said, I'm still eagerly watching and I'm excited for the heroes versus villains stuff.
• Do you think that House is going to turn into what they played with on this past episode, with House and his team working on a case while Foreman works with the old team? It would be a great way to shake it up a bit by having more than one case (it's what C.S.I.: does, they've had as many as four in an episode) and it's how they work Cameron and Chase back into things.
• I was watching the old 90210 this morning and you could piece together that, eight months after the gang graduated college, Erin Silver was six years old. I was concerned that this would lead to a continuity error, since in the new series, Silver is in high school and in the pilot episode we also saw Andrea and Jesse's daughter Hannah. But I checked up on it and since Andrea had Hannah in her freshman year of college, it could work out that Silver could be a sophomore or junior and Hannah could be a freshman. Just wanted to set that all straight in case you were worrying about it like I was.
• That was the funniest ending in Survivor history, right? Who cares that you already knew who was going, it was just great to see all of them fail miserably at trying not to laugh and Crystal screaming loud enough for everyone to hear her as she voted.
• Is anyone else as torn about the 24 movie tomorrow night as I am? I know I'll watch it, but what could they possibly do this season to make the show interesting again? They've made it so unbelievable that the only way they can push the envelope is for Jack to sleep with his dead lover that comes back as a ghost.
• Random Thoughts/Links:
• This was the funniest clip from The Soup this week. I could watch it over and over.
• The weather is just crazy. It was around 70 last week and right now it's in the mid-20s outside. I haven't seen numbers like that this close together since I looked at the score of tonight's Texas Tech-Oklahoma game.
• Which is the better Anchorman joke for this story? "We go into the bear pit," or, "I immediately regret this decision."
