The Pop Culture of Gus Lequerica

 One thing that I like about the 21st season of The Simpson’s it’s that it’s taking the strengths the show it had on the first season. The last week episode deal with the obsession that many people have with the “organic food” and now this episode took a much serious approach on massive hysteria that people have regarding the unknown, which I thought it was fantastic but the script was a little weak compared to last week episode. In Rednecks and Broomsticks while coming back from a ski vacation the family has to make an emergency stop that makes Homer hang out with Cletus as soon he discovers that Cletus makes an illegal liquor that Homer grows fond of it; on the second story while the stay with Cletus and his family Lisa got lost in the woods while playing hide and seek and she meets a Wicca coven which she befriends with but while Lisa is investigating about Wicca beliefs Ned Flanders thinks she is worshiping the devil and start a series of events that almost kill Lisa new friends. I give this episode a 3.5 over 5 because it was original and enjoyable to watch. On a side note do you know that the guest star of this episode Neve Campbell started in another Wiccan themed movie called The Craft.

If this show really last for a fifth season it’s going to suffer a lot without the CGI but maybe right now the show is suffering but not for the computer generated imagery but rather due the poor script to try to emulate the effects of season one

Season Four had been so far greater than season 3 but it has been chaotic and slow, maybe I am expecting a divided arc much like season three who was divided opposite to season one, maybe season four is more close to season 1 but still the show is going on a slow pace and since more characters are being written out of the show, Heroes it’s basically right now a melodrama between a small group of altruistic people versus an army of super powered individuals who hide as a circus; if we have to blame somebody we can blame on the second season or the writer strikes, but the real deal to blame are the writers who took the direction of the show into something that so far seems so boring and a little bit filled with plot holes around certain characters that not even the comic series can explain.

Brother’s Keeper wasn’t that bad it was more of an episode centering on the relation between the Petrelli brothers and how Sylar-Nathan regained the other part of himself creating an inner conflict that probably deleted the personality of the villain. That’s basically the main story of the episode; the side one was Hiro trying to save Mohinder much like he saved Charlie but with the purpose to retrieve a movie about Samuel past but there aren’t elements that gives to the viewers something more specifically about Samuel himself except that he was born in Coyote Mesa or his master plan. It’s so hard to predict the direction of the show because of the constant changes that are almost every week  and even so it’s difficult to know the evolution of the characters or if there is going to be new ones. I was trying to think about what positive changes the show could have and two I thought, the first one modify Sylar (or bring back Adrian Pasdar and revision Heroes cash cow Zachary Quinto) character to make it more humane and less corny and write off Mohinder Suresh for good… maybe tat could help but at the end I’m just talking to myself.

She is Dr. Brooke Magnanti a respected research scientist and a former prostitute who raised to fame after her blog where she told her stories as a former prostitute under the name Belle de Jour about her sexcapades while she was in college obtaining her PhD and in the process she gave a lesson to all digital age writers by selling her blog and memories to Rebecca de Souza to create the hit television show “Secret Diary of a Call Girl” and writing a few books in the process.

After many years of speculation Dr. Magnanti decided to put an end to the secrecy because she wasn’t having any fun after the British media started to speculate that Belle de Jour was a fictional character created by an hyperactive individual so Dr. Brooke putted and end and came to the public light telling her experience and saying that she is relief to not continue hiding her past from her family and friends. There are some similarities between Dr. Magnanti and her fictional self Hannah Baxter (portrayed by Billy Piper ) and not the obvious one that both are blonds as both characters had boyfriends who almost risked their existence and both are power players in the London scene (referring to the blog of “Belle” that don’t gives too many details sometimes). The question right now is if Dr. Magnanti will continue updating her blog or if she is going to shut it down and have a quiet life… maybe not.

According to the Wrap, NBC is just one step to give Chuck a few new episodes and that by consequence all the fans we can have our favorite geek/spy back on the small screen.  According to the Wrap NCB plans to bring Chuck back in January of 2010.

Even if today episode didn’t showed too much about anything I have to say I love it because it goes with the flow of the arc and even so far I guess what is going to be happening in the next episode.

The main topic of this episode was accepting your fate because there are something we can’t change from the past but we can make better the future; probably that’s something Hiro is going to be realizing on the next episode when he tries to save Charlie but Charlie saves him onto accepting his destiny and that the ultimate path for some of us is death, no matter how hard we try to avoid it.

The season so far has been running smoothly, the storyline don’t look hurry up and the ensemble is having more chemistry than the past few seasons; I have to say that the characters had evolved as well by showing a more mature point of view to their lives and well to their gifts, maybe now the show is exalting a more a realistic approach about people with specials abilities instead of following an extremely fantastic side of the comic books. One of the characters that has particularly evolved is Hiro as “he’s” no more the selfish individual of the first episodes but rather a more “stoic person” person toward his actions but without loosing the charming and innocent side that has always been present with the character.

Probably at last Sylar is heading into a more positive direction rather than the cartoon villain  that the character was becoming and I don’t think the producers are going to let go Zachary Quinto that easily by writing him off of the series after his popularity raised after the reboot of Star Trek; because the character itself looks regretted toward some of his past actions. I hope the producers and writers keep the good work for the next season and I really hope that all the episodes of this season are as good as the first ones.

So there problems in the Karadashian / Jenner paradise? It seems so. According to FOX411 it seems to be that any of the Kardashians can’t stand each other as soon the cameras of their reality show finish the rolling.

According to the entertainment section of FOX one of the main detonators of the family feud was Khris Kardashian meddling into her daughter Khloe wedding with L.A. Laker Lamar Odom because she wanted the wedding to be rushed as soon as possible so it was filmed for their reality (Oh! Khris, life is not a sitcom) but that was only the beginning then it came meddling into other more serious details as the one where Khloe wanted that her two best friends were her bridesmaid and not her sisters, something that mama Kardashian changed her daughter plans and put her two other daughters as the bridesmaids to keep the perfection image.

Ouch! but not only that, also other people that work inside the show say that Bruce’s son Brody has developed anger issues and he didn’t showed to the wedding of his step sister, but the sisters say that they try to stay away from Brody because after the fight of Brody’s Jenner with a common friend of the family Brody has been acting erratic and the sisters want to make their brother to see the truth about his girlfriend. Definitely is impossible to keep up with the Kardashians.

No doubt that Mackynzie Renee Duggar is truly an angel but the Government should really sponsor a vasectomy and a hysterectomy for the Duggars they keep multiplying like rabbits and soon Tontitown, Arkansas will be suffering the Founders Effect because of the Duggars.

Little Mackynzie was born at the beginning of the week and congratulation to her parents Anna and Joshua Duggar. 

Oh my God! These people are like rabbits! They keep multiplying; the Government should sponsor Jim and Michelle Duggar a vasectomy and a tube ligation respectively because they will continue to multiply and take over Earth eventually… or in a lesser case they will be the guilty of a massive Founder Effect in Tontitown Arkansas and maybe in general in the United States because there are 18 children, one in the way; and Jim Bob Junior is having one of his own.

My biggest question is how Michelle is healthy? Because after consulting with a gynecologist he said that a woman vagina needs at least 10 months to fully recover from a pregnancy and only 8 months later after having Jordin-Grace she is already pregnant. How she do that?! And how they keep continuing having unprotected sex? Do they Think about the impact in their home economy having too many children? Life is not like Steve Martin movie Cheaper by the Dozen and the show or specials of their family sooner or later will stop grabbing the interest from the public and royalties will stop eventually.

God this family should think more carefully sooner because later they will be facing hard times one way or another.

16 year old, with a net worth of almost US$ 30.000.000 and attitude like a ladette are the words that can be used to describe Miley Cyrus a perfect specimen that should be heading to MTV reality game show The Girls of Hedsor Hall to see if the headmistress can transform Miley from an easy girl with a lot of money to a classy lady who respect her fellow human being and into a positive example to young generations, because as we can see Disney had lowered their standards when producing new shows as lately the shows from Disney are not a shadow of what they were in the 80’s and 90’s.

Ok, sorry for the long title but it was a question as you could see. Ok, I was zapping channels and I saw one protest of parents who support HE8T and a group of gays who were countering the protest of HE8T. The people of HE8T argued that gays are immoral and that goes against every value of society. A few months ago where I was living my schizophrenic cousin she said something similar as the people of the rally, I thought “ok that’s her opinion” but then when her eldest grandkids arrived and they changed the channel to Nickelodeon and tuned the show Barnyard she didn’t said nothing about the transsexual cow Otis. What the hell a cow-man?!, the only logical explanation I can see is that Otis represents a transmen, because “he” and “his” lady-cow have a son, have a son.

I know is a cartoon and I know you will call me stupid, but is only an example to illustrate my point, that people critique when they want to, and I see many attitudes as hypocrisy because people will try to justify their bigotry points of view even when many attitudes are more open today, and if we take a closer look those positive attitudes toward the GLBT community you can see that they are more open, take a look on your daily programming and you will see gay and lesbian characters. So If you feel uncomfortable watching T.V. because of these people, then don’t turn on your television.

Today and yesterday on the Sci-Fi channel we had a 7 hours episode of Ghost Hunters, but my question is, it was worth it?, God, I don’t know… the first two hours were ok, but after the fourth hour I felt like watching the same over and over, although I stick to the end because Miss Amanda Tapping the Queen of the Sci-Fi channel was a guest investigator on today episode.

The episode itself was quite interesting because we could saw T.A.P.S. methods and group dynamic, we could saw that the team really gets along and they are friendly toward new people, they are professionals on what they do and they believe on their mission, I guess we can say The Atlanta Paranormal Society is indeed a society run by friends who believe in something that is beyond the sight and common senses; the other aspect that caught the attention of many people was the online broadcast, it was fantastic, we could saw another point of view of the investigation and the audience could participate within the commodity of their homes.

So, Ghost Hunters live?, yes they do, the show is a guilty pleasure, even if they don’t find anything is amazing to feel the tension and the conversation of hunters, you have a blast by watching the dynamic of Tango and Gonsalves, is like watching Abbot and Costello but with a more serious side and Jason and Grant they are entertaining to see on fields, they act like brothers and they do have fun on what they do.

For the next season, we want to see another live episode, probably my advice would be “do not make it that long” a two or three hour special is ok, and the fourth hour it can be used as a segment to interview the people around the investigation, and as for the next season it will be cool to see Colin Ferguson teamed with Amanda Tapping on field with the guys of T.A.P.S.
