57 Channels and Only This Is On - 12/18/11


Once Upon a Time: So we finally learn who the sheriff is only for him to die? What a total Lost move.

Homeland: I have been waiting for this episode from the beginning and we finally got to see Carrie off her medication and it was awesome. And is the teenage daughter really going to be the person that cracks the case? I have long hoped that they wrapped up the Brody storyline this season and move onto a new terrorist plot next season (because if they do not, it will be like The Killing all over again) but I am beginning to think next season he will be a Hannibal Lecter to Carrie’s Clarice.

Survivor: South Pacific: I never thought anyone would come close to Erik’s stupidity of giving his Immunity Necklace and then promptly getting voted off, but leave it to Brandon and his God to do the exact same thing. The one thing saving Brandon from the top spot is that he could actually come back into the game and plausibly win it. But then again, he could come back into the game and make another dumb move that would put him on top the list of the Dumbest Survivor Contestants Ever.

Chuck: Why did they give a gratuitous shot of the driver locking the doors if Ellie and Awesome could just unlock the doors themselves? And the show really goes through too many Big Bads. By the time you get to know one, the blow him up and move onto a bigger one. Had they just stuck to the one Big Bad per season, the last couple seasons would not have seemed so scattered.

  1. A little late but... I personally was glad the Sheriff died, I don't want Emma in a romance, too boring.

    I imagine there will be a new terrorist plot on Homeland next season... well, kinda. I'm thinking Abu Nazir won't be content with Brody just getting close to the VP so he'll have some of his peeps do some bombing or something based on info from Brody.

  2. I was not disappointed that the Sheriff died, it seemed like a plot devise right out of Lost to kill him just as we got to know him. Granted I would rather have seen Emma die because it becomes painful to watch Jennifer Morrison try to act at time. Unfortunately there really is not a show without Emma there to break the curse.

    I agree with you that Nazir will not be resting on his laurels, we have already seen he like have multiple plots go on at the same time without the players even knowing that that there are other players with Brody and Walker.

  3. I'm sure they'll employ the same "nobody ever really dies" rule as Lost had, Sheriff Graham might be dead but The Huntsman will no doubt show up again in in fairytale land from time to time.

    I wouldn't mind Emma dying either but you're right, it's not gonna happen. It's a shame the main good guy is such a weak character because the villains, Regina and Mr. Gold, deserve worthy adversaries.
