Bell joins Heroes
Some good n
ews for all Kristen Bell fans. Our former PI has signed on to star in a multi episode arc of the upcoming season of Heroes. Read more here on Perez. I was happy about the news although I had stopped watching Heroes after the seventh episode and will have to take up watching the show although I had just categorised it as “tested and rejected”. I started watching in the beginning of the summer, very motivated and eager to watch the show after having read so many positiv reviews. I was looking very much forward to seeing some acters like Milo Ventimiglia, Ali Larter or Hayden Panettiere. After episode seven I gave up and figured that I’ve never been that much into the Sci Fi genre and that one should not force things too much even though a strong and promising show would have fit perfectly into my shrunken repartoire of weekly shows. Somehow I cannot feel enthusiastical about people with superpowers. Honestly the split-personality character of Ali Larter irritated me and parts of the storyline were just too strange. I like the Japanese guy though- he’s cute. Well anyway, I still can’t believe that Veronica Mars won’t be returning this Fall. At least we will be seeing her on TV even if that means that I have to get into watching that show again. I’m relieved she didn’t decide to sign on to “Lost”. I would have had to catch up quite a lot since I’m not watching the island show at all. I just think it’s a waste of her talent. Bell is such a phenomenal actress and she should have her own show, no broadway, no Heroes just a good and solid Kristen Bell show. Hm - I hate the CW!
I have developed a new obsession during the evening hours when I should normally watch TV like normal people. I hunt and then kill mosquitos. My mother bought several cans of biological spray that kills instantly. So my brother and I wander the rooms and will not cease the hunt and go to bed until we can be absolutely sure there ist not one single beast left. Last week a I stayed awake until 4 am hunting because everytime I lied down I heard the buzzing within seconds.I heard in the news that these insects have become much more dangerous this year since the summer has been so warm and rainy and that this is the ideal climate for them to reproduce. I even keep spiders in my appartments so that their webs help to catch these monsters. Yes I know not so exciting but this is what I do.
Have I mentioned how much I love Mr Monk? Well I love Mr Adrian Monk. Now more than ever. There are episodes when I simply fall over with laughter. I hope the writers never run out of good storylines which I can imagine isn’t always that easy. In times where the TV programs are so inconsistent and excellent shows get cancelled before you can say “veronica mars” it is always good to know that you can rely on Mr Monk returning weekly and providing you with an hour full of blissful quality time. I love that Mr Monk had “sand” shoes in “Mr Monk and the naked Man” and I thought the scene where Monk and Troy are trapped in Troys’s car in this week’s “Mr Monk and the Buried Treasure” was very excellent.
One last thought for today. “Weeds” has finally started its third season a few weeks ago and the first episodes were quite fun to watch but is it me or is Nancy getting whinier and whinier with each episode??? Ginia Bellafante has written an excellent article on the show in the NY Times. Read it here.
Oh this is a surprise!!! Can’t wait for fall. Mandy Moore in “How I met your Mother” Two good things melting together!!! Yeah!
