Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Where the Wild Things Are

#7 (Top 10 Worst Episodes)
Season 4, Episode 18

I think my major problem with this episode is that there is not much of a plot. The frat house makes people have sex? Wow, that is lame! Go to any college campus and you will find this to be the norm. This episode was almost painful to watch, but here we go!

Well, hello there faithful friends. Tonight’s episode of Merlin involves The Formerly Bionic Witch again and her version of Hamlet, which is really more like Here Merlin, Drink This Poison. It’s good times.

Tonight’s episode has Camelot in a load of trouble when the water supply is poisoned! But I’ll bet you my two cents that Merlin and Gaius and Arthur save the day.

Bulls and vampires and Christians, oh my! Okay, well, bull-people-hybrid things, at least. Many things happen this week in Bon Temps and most of them are awesome. Bill yells at Sookie some more because she is totally wrong. Sookie openly opposes Eric, which turns him on. Jason tries to be a good guy and fails. Lafayette gets off the island. Tara wakes the heck up. And your recapper switches up the format.

Spaced
Battles

Season 1, episode 4

In this episode of Spaced, Daisy gets dumped by her boyfriend after she told him she was messing around on him… after Tim told her to tell him in an act of ‘petty vengeance on woman kind’, as Daisy puts it. Distraught, she goes to Marsha to talk about it, then half-way through, realizes that Marsha is supposed to think Tim is Daisy’s boyfriend. Daisy backtracks quickly and asks Marsha if they can have a dog to ‘help them stay together’.

Well it was a bloody night with 5 deaths in total. Wakefield is in a killing mood and it looks as though there is no real match for him. We left off with Abby looking at Wakefield after her father was killed. Wakefield is a little surprised that Abby hasn’t figured out why he is doing it. Just then Henry and Danny show up and Wakefield is running off.

#7 (Top 10 Happiest Episodes)
Season 4, Episode 11

Brittany – Associate Staff Writer
Brittany@thetwocentscorp.com

If ever there were an episode that had fierce acting from Mary McDonnell, well, let’s just say this one is absolutely close to perfection. Laura Roslin runs the gamut in ‘The Hub’ from nearly letting a man she hates bleed to death to being reunited with the man who can’t live without out her. But, she does cry so you know this isn’t the happiest episode of the series. Let’s see those top moments, shall we?

Fans Flock To Mourn A Star

More Than A Star

More Than A Star

Jon Gus
Hollywood Correspondent

Without warning, a buzz of murmurs began around my office, like many offices around the country, with speculation that Michael Jackson had died Thursday afternoon. Phones lit up with text messages and emails and friends’ Facebook statuses were continually updated with up-to-the-minute news from Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Some immediately circulated rumors of the pop star’s death, while others hung on to CNN’s breaking news brief that Jackson was in a coma. But CNN was just unable to confirm the reports made by TMZ and the LA Times that Michael Jackson was dead at age 50 of a cardiac arrest.

In Hollywood , fans, media and the curious began the gather at the UCLA Medical Center , outside the home Jackson had been renting in Los Angeles , outside the Jackson Family’s home in Encino, and at his star on the Walk of Fame. Or so they thought.
