NEW
SHOW REVIEW Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Having missed the last few episodes of season one (I'll have to catch up on DVD) I'm a bit behind the curve but this season opener works remarkably well on its own. When we left our intrepid heroes, everything was pretty much laid to waste and Cameron, the lovely robot from the future sent to save John Connor, is down for the count. Thankfully she gets back up in short order but is she there to save John or destroy him?
At the end of the hour comes a shocking revelation in a clever scene that promises to step up the danger for John and his star crossed mom. Overall this is an exhilarating sci-fi adventure series, perhaps not on the level of Heroes or Battlestar Galactica, but it makes for enjoyable viewing. The car chases and smash and runs are exhilarating even if things get a tad too melodramatic for my taste.

NEW SHOW REVIEW House - Season 5
The cutting humor, the intricate, intelligent storylines, the bizarre mysterious ailments, and the neurotically dysfunctional relationships still resonate - this show is as good or better than ever. I don't like to give spoilers, suffice to say House and his not-so-merry band are off to a rocky start for season 5, with a new team in place and internal turmoil that shatters the fragile dynamic. The first episode opens eight weeks after the death of Wilson's girlfriend and it's clear he wants nothing more to do with House or the hospital given the circumstances. So who can House turn to when he's stumped or in need of someone to bounce ideas off of? That question is answered in episode two when House turns to an acerbic private investigator, adroitly played by Michael Weston, who's almost as mercurial as House himself. There are plenty of laughs and shockers, the producers have done a nice job of shaking things up without resorting to blunt force trauma. House is on a roll, the show returns to FOX on Tuesday, September 16th at 8:00 ET/PT. Sunday,

NEW SHOW REVIEW: Prison Break Season 4
Welcome to the new Prison Break coming September first - or as I like to call it now, Michael Scofield, Secret Agent. I can only think of a handful of shows I've enjoyed more than Prison Break, after three utterly amazing seasons the series bursts out of it's confines with a two-parter that unveils a new concept - and the results are mixed.
As the first episode of season 4 opens, all of our protagonists are out of Soma prison. T-Bag is on the run with a satchel full of cash and an overwhelming desire to kill Michael. Bellick and Sucre are sprung thanks to a fire, Link and that annoying kid LJ are content to remain in Panama while an angry Michael traveling to the states (where he is no longer a fugitive, if you'll remember) to seek vengeance on Gretchen for killing his true love Dr. Sara Tancredi. Turns out Sara's not really dead. I don't feel I'm giving much away by telling you that since it's made clear in the first five minutes and I never believed it was her head in the box to begin with.
This makes little sense, of course, but it gives the producers ample opportunity to revive old tensions and still move the show in a radically different direction. At least they left perpetual kidnap victim LJ at home. The first episode of season four is all exposition so it's fortuitous that a second hour follows where a mysterious Greek mythology reference is revealed and T-Bag is given a radical new lease on life after eating some "bad Mexican." Sadly, these first two episodes don't come close to the kind of excitement one expects from Prison Break but the possibility exists for improvement. There are some welcome additions to the cast, especially Cress Williams as a fierce, cold-blooded operative out to stop our heroes at any cost and James Hiroyuki Liao as a criminally inclined whiz kid forced on the team. Now that Prison Break has become The A-Team will viewers follow along? Saturday,

The
fireworks come fast and furious when Terminator: The Sarah Connor
Chronicles returns with a surprising episode chock full of action
and suspense.
Sarah's
former lover Charlie, played by stoic Dean Winters (Rescue Me),
is also quickly closing in. He has his own reasons for tracking down the
duo as does an undercover killer future bot that easily eliminated 20
FBI agents. Catherine Weaver (Shirley Manson, lead singer of Garbage)
joins the cast as a shadowy CEO who promises to dramatically shift the
dynamic.
Terminator:
The Sarah Connor Chronicles debuts Monday, September 8th at 9:00pm
ET/PT on FOX.
Judging
from the first two episodes of season 5, House is still in tip
top shape.
As
always on Prison Break, revenge and self-preservation provide
the motivation for moving forward, only now the setting is Los Angeles
where everyone's breaking into, not out of, places.
The
threat of prison once again traps Michael and his brother into an unholy
alliance, this time working for the U.S. government to take down The Company
and here's where logic flies right out the window. You're not going to
believe the team they assemble to carry out this formidable task - Sara,
Sucre, Link's mortal enemy former FBI agent Mahone, and Bellick, the sniveling,
back-stabbing former prison guard who made so much trouble for them in
two different joints. Michael allows Bellick on the team because, "Sucre
vouched for you," completely ignoring their long, tortured, messy
history together.
