Recaps & Reviews
Much of the appeal of The Office is a result of combining diverse characters in an office environment, with plots that are driven by workplace related themes and the interactions that ensue. The Delivery, is unlike most episodes of The Office. Instead, it relies on slapstick, and the characters acting very much over the top.
Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains - Tonight, We Make Our Move

This one is a little more recap than review. I'm in Los Angeles right now putting together some Oscar reports and coverage for ShowbizMonkeys.com, so I'm not able to go through my summary notes on tonight's Survivor episode and come up with more of a review.
There is a whole lot of nonsense with Danny Gokey and horrifying group lip-syncs to Black Eyed Peas, and frankly I don't need to waste your time or mine with any of this, so let's just get on with it, shall we?
The guys going home are John Park and Jermaine; the girls going home are Michelle and Haeley.
Sayid! A cold blooded killer with a heart of gold. He's always been a fascinating character. I watched the episode on Tuesday with a new Lost-head...she just bought Season 1 and was about to delve into the world of Lost. Convinced that she would forget it all by the time she got to this episode, she watched it with my wife and I.
I swear, every time Ryan says "THIS... is American Idol," he tries to one-up himself.
Crystal Bowersox has some sort of medical situation, so the boys are going first this week. Umm...
Jake: "A few weeks ago I didn't know these women existed and now one of them is going to be my wife."
Ah, and so goes the the sweet expedited tale of reality TV romance.
Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains - That Girl is Like a Virus

After last week's theatrics on the Heroes tribe, the previews for this week's episode looked like things were going to continue to be chaotic for the "good guys". There were shots of James getting crazy at a challenge, and it looked like he was headed well past going off the deep end, and on his way to the bottom of the ocean.
Much Jack this episode, entitled "Lighthouse". The flash sideways was devoted to Jack and the relationship with his son. Very good story in the sideways flash, with Jack's son seemingly running away and Jack, worried, looking for him everywhere. Jack eventually finds his son, playing piano wickedly at a sort of entrance exam into a high-end music school.
We open with the usual banter, and then there's a group sing of "American Boy," which is perfectly bizarre, but the kids do well on their harmonies and synchronized walking. Do they always do group sings this early? I thought that was a Big Stage thing.
We're gonna take care of the girls first: Siobhan is safe. Haeley is safe.
