Season Finale of Big Love

The last episode of Big Love left me feeling... happy. Yes, that's what the show made me. Maybe that's' what I feel in general about this show.

In Big Love, the final turn of events lead to everyone holding together in the end. It's a good climax to a story. Still unpredictable and excitements grows every second.

I have no doubt that despite all the mistakes Nikki made, she will remain in the family. After all, the opening credit has all three of them - Barb, Margene, and Nikki skating and holding hands with Bill.

All I can say is -- what a great show. It's not one show where characters are playing roles and at the same time making "beauty shots." People in the show seem real and the plot is ridiculous for people* like me, but they make it look real.

Lazytown - Pink Hair

My husband and kid really like Lazytown.

My husband is not really into kid's show. After all, he's 50 years old. But when I left the two of them for two weeks, he took to watching children's shows with our daughter and the biggest of them was Lazytown. I was surprise they know the characters' names and even the songs.

I'm not crazy about Lazytown. If it's on, I would turn the channel. I thought my daughter didn't like it because it was "too old" for her. Then one weekend when the show was on and I started turning the channel my husband protested. He said he wanted to watch it.

I told him I don't like Lazytown. He asked me why. Out of the blue, I told him, "I just find it strange --a girl with a pink hair."

Big Love , Big Show

The biggest reason why we have HBO is because of Big Love. My husband and I really like that show. Back in June 2007, we stayed in a hotel during a conference that he attended and the hotel got HBO. That's when we came across Big Love. We don't subscribe to HBO back then.

We think the plot of Big Love was so interesting -- imagine, three wives at this time and age. And they look really normal and they can be like any one of us. Yes, we love the show. It's one of the weekly shows we follow aside from American Idol, and very recently, Dancing With the Stars.

Tomorrow would be the last episode of the current season and we sure are excited.

Judges Rule

I was just thinking about this new rule on American Idol where a losing contestant can be saved by the judges once during the entire competition through a unanimous decision.

I should say judges always have a bearing on who people vote. So if the judges don't like the performance and the next day (on the result show) the person gets to the bottom, then it would be most unlikely that he/she would be ruled to stay because it's the judges comments that made him/her be at the bottom in the first place.

Only during very rare occasions that the judges can prevent the least voted contestant to go home and that's when every one of them was impressed during the performance night. But as I said, this is unlikely to happen as people vote who the judges like.

My TV Crisis

Last night, it was a hop between Dancing With the Stars and American Idol, with occasional sneak at the USA vs Puerto Rico World Classic baseball game. It was crazy.

Of course, we missed song renditions, dance numbers, most home runs. But what can we do? It was a dilemma of television programs clashing with time.

Last week, I happen to catch the first episode of the season of Dancing With the Stars so I watched and got involved. I got to have favorites by the time I watched again Monday night. American Idol, I've been watching since January. My husband is a baseball fanatic and he saw Cubs players in the team USA so he really wanted to see the game.

So the crisis went. I'm just glad I did not miss my favorites' presentations in both shows though. I know there will be more nights like this for the coming weeks -- that's eight weeks.
