Aside from Sarah saying the three little words, a Doc Brown cameo, Superman possibly still being alive, Anna Wu coming back from Hawaii on a Morgan-mission and some weirdly Ring-like contact with Ellie not a whole lot happened on this week’s episode of Chuck. So I’ll try and keep it short.

Oh boy! How I Met Your Mother actually produced a funny episode! Thank goodness. It seemed to be a very long time since we’ve seen one. We got to experience classic Barney, the love between Lily and Marshall, and Ted’s pretentiousness.

This episode also brought us to the next step of something that we’ve been waiting a while for as well.

As a commenter last week asked, “Was someone murdered in this episode?” That sentiment really holds true this week. Yes, we had a dead body, a plethora of suspects, false leads, and police interviews, but did any viewers really notice?

I’m fairly certain that most of us were solely engaged in the Castle-Beckett-Demming triangle. However, there are a few things that must be covered before we decide on the best way to get blood off a mirror while recovering stolen books…

Dancing with the Stars
Week 8

We said goodbye last week to Pamela Anderson and that left us with five celebrities duking it out for the mirror ball trophy. This week the stars are dancing two full routines, a ballroom dance and a Latin dance.

There is a twist for the Latin round – dancing through the decades is back. Each star is assigned a decade: 50s, 60s, 80s, 90s, or the future. No love for the 70s, but we’ll see how wells the stars can do their Latin dance with a particular era flair.

…Howard Gordon, Executive Producer

All good things must eventually come to an end. Once FOX’s flagship drama, the real-time thriller 24 will draw to a close on May 24 (ha) after eight seasons, one TV-movie and 194 hours of action.

In preparation for the end, series showrunner and Executive Producer, Howard Gordon, answered a few questions for inquiring minds.

TheTwoCents: The ending that we’re about to see, was this always the way you had planned to end the show? Or did you have to adjust this season to make a proper series finale at all?

Welcome to Hour Twenty-One. Are you excited yet? Gearing up for the end of Jack Bauer’s last very bad day (until the movie, that is)? If you’re not, it might be too late.

We open with Cole coming to find Dana’s lifeless corpse where Jack shot her. I enjoy just looking at her to be reminded that she’s dead. Cole doesn’t show a lot of emotion over it.

A party girl dies in the back of a limo. Not like we haven’t seen that one before. Lupo and Bernard are not impressed by the antics of spoiled rich kids. This is not Gossip Girl.

The dead girl is a rich heiress named Annie, and the prime suspect in her death is her cousin, Randy – a known druggie whose inheritance just went up because she died.

Ojai is done. The family (and Holly) has tried to save the company any which way they could but couldn’t. The Narrow Lake drama, Rebecca using her William money … none of it mattered.

Mix that with the secrets Robert is keeping and this episode should make for great Walker family drama.
