Excellent Season 2 for The Tudors

I was moved by the season finale of The Tudors Season 2. Anne’s last few hours was truly riveting. She was unjustly punished. Some would argue that she brought it upon herself. That she was just sowing what she did to Katherine. But I digress. If anyone needs to be blamed, i guess it would have to be the king. Can’t wait for Season 3.

Lost Once More

Lost Season 4 is done. The season finale is okay but not as mind-blowing as the season 3 finale. There’s just no way to top that. The season 3 finale will give you that “just can’t wait” feeling while the season 4 finale just gives you the “oh ok so that’s it” feeling. But overall Season 4 is a solid season and for me the best episode is still the time-travelling episode with Desmond (Ep. 5).

The Unit

The Unit is truly an enjoyable series. Here’s the description from Wikipedia:

The Unit is an American action-drama television series that focuses on a top-secret military unit modeled after the real life Delta Force. The program features both the domestic lives of the team members and their missions abroad, in addition to the effect their careers have on their home lives, wives and girlfriends.

For those who are fans of team-based FPS games and team-based action, this is the series for you. There’s a new mission every episode and it usually takes place in another country. The interaction between the team members is great and unlike other shows, the lives of their wives are shown which makes the characters more human.

BTW, the series stars David Palmer, I mean Dennis Haysbert, as Sgt. Maj. Jonas Blane and T-1000 himself, Robert Patrick, as Colonel Thomas Ryan.

Jack of all Media

I’ve just finished watching 88 Minutes starring Al Pacino when an epiphany hit me. Al Pacino’s character is named Jack Gramm. Jack? Again? Now I’ve realized that there ARE a lot of Jacks in movies and TV series. So I began to recall them. Here they are. Maybe you could add some more Jacks:

Jack Bauer (24)
Jack Shephard (Lost)
Jack Ryan (Tom Clancy Novels & Movies)
Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Carribean)
Jack Stanfield (Firewall starring Harrison Ford)
Jack Skellington (The Nightmare Before Christmas)
Jack Carver (Far Cry PC Game)
Jack Slate (Dead to Rights PS2 Game)

Can’t think of any others but I’ll add more once I remember them.
