   It's that special time again!
Time for....reveiws! Wh00t!!

Today, I'm going to do something a little different, and review as much material as I have. The following is basically all the TV I watch all week.

Smallville: Ah, Smallville. What can I say about it this week? Fairly pedestrian, and pretty predictable, although I loved that dawning moment of realization Clark had in the truck: "Wait...if I'm seeing you right now...I must be sleeping..." *Crash*

What was so above average was the soundtrack. REM rocks!!

Angel: Ah, the show I watch even though the title character puts me to sleep. I can't believe there was a nudity warning, and the nudity was Spike's! Gah!

On the whole, a good episode; glad we got that whole "going to Hell" thing cleared up; you know how having that hanging around can screw up a place's atmosphere.

Friends: Oh my God...Friends was actually funny! Wow! It's been mediocre for so long, but this episode reminded me why I liked the show in the first place. Everyone was in character, no one overshadowed anyone else, and the part with Joey's gift to Emma was kind of sweet. And the cake thing was just..odd.

Scrubs: I continue to love this show. If you don't watch this show, watch it. "Hey, why don't you just paint over it?"

South Park: The Queer Eye guys are Lobster People? It's odd, but that just makes so much sense to me....

Yu-Gi-Oh: It's a little too late to make Marik a sympathetic character. So he was a sweet kid? So what? You know who else was a sweet kid? Mai! And she's in the Shadow Realm!

However, any duel with Yami Bakura is cool. You'd think he'd be a little more concerned that he was going to pieces on us, but hey, he has a plan. Doubt it will work, though.

Anyone else notice that Yami Bakura is quickly shaping up to be *the* evil guy in YGO? I mean, he takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'! Betcha' after Yami Marik's gone, it's Yami Bakura that threatens the world. We don't even know his story. Potential...

Jackie-Chan Adventures: i'm actually surprised that they got away with Diablo saying he would cut off Jade's face. I mean, he did'nt say it, but it was implied.

Terokudo as the "Great Pumpkin" was unexpected and a bit hilarious.

X-Men: Evolution: Is this supposed to be the last episode? It had a 'last episode' feel, what with Prof. X's visions at the end.

Anyone notice that they didn't actually fight Apocalypse? They just shut him down before he succeeded. You know they could'nt beat him mano y mano. Interesting...

Sonic X: I was a bit ready to give up on this series if this week's episode was as pointless as the last two. I mean, last week, *nothing happened at all!!*

But this week everything was ooookay. Tails did some stuff instead of just getting captured, and Sonic blew something up by running around inside of it really fast. Yay!

Still no Shadow, though...

Shaman King: I continue to be impressed with this show, but today's episode left me hanging. Specifically, what was up with Jenny's...well, I'm not sure what it was. And how could she beat Bailong but be destroyed by Yoh when Bailong kicked Yoh's arse? And why didn't Bailong shatter into dust when he was on the ropes? I don't think Jenny's fighter is the same kind of Doushi that Bailong is...a little explanation would have been nice.

other than leaving us in the dark (intentionally?), this was a good episode. Ryo had a lot of good moments.

Ninja Turtles: Hey, a multiparter that actually feels like it isnt' padded for time! Sadly, it does feel like last week's episode was just filler, as it was'nt even mentioned. Ah, well.

I loved Casey as the "Crazy raving guy", and I'm quite interested in whatever's up with this crazy coorporate place. A solid episode.

No comics this week that weren't covered earlier....

Thought of the moment: I'm showing my sister "Trigun"...let the indoctrination begin!

Quote of the moment: "Never Knows Best"- the enigmatic label on Mamimi's ciggarettes in "Furi Kuri"
