Heroes Genesis Final Act StoryBoard

This is a really cool storyboard I found on the HeroesWiki of the final scene in Genesis where Peter steps off the building trying to fly and Nathan flys up, revealing his power while trying to save Peter. This is one of my favorite moments in Heroes and is really cool to see in storyboard.

Terd Furgeson Video

One of the funniest SNL skits ever has to be the Celebrity Jeopardy skits. And thanks to Norm McDonald as Burt Reynolds a.k.a. Terd Furgeson, the skit became oh so better. Here is a video with some of the highlights of his appearances on SNL. Click here to see it.

Mr. Monk and the Three Julies

Another superb and hillarious Monk episode this week, Monk is unstoppable! The second half of season 6 is shaping up very well and will defnitely be one of my favorites. This episode starts off with Monk and the gang at a call, with Captain Stottlemeyer showing off his new car. While Monk and Natalie are left outside, a call comes in on a homicide of a Julie Teeger, the same name of Natalie’s daughter. She bolts, and takes off with Captain’s car, and I’d like to mention I really liked how they displayed the emotional depth of Natalie in this episode. Anyway, the Captain shows up to find his rear view mirror knocked off of his new car, the others show up to realize it was another Julie Teeger, a woman who was stabbed and killed in her home. At that crime scene, another Julie Teeger homicide is called in, and Natalie bolts again. She takes the Captain’s car again, and drives off to the next scene, where it is another Julie Teeger. This time, the Captain shows up to find his hood all dented in and his fender smashed, where after Natalie says she took the creek, he hillariously repeated, ”there’s no bridge across the creek”. The new victim was ran over by the same guy, a serial killer taking out Julie Teegers. Anyway, Monk, the Captain, and Randy go to another Julie Teeger’s house to warn her. They find her dead, and the report reveals she had been dead for 3 months, but her unstable son had stuffed her and held on to her. Monk has a hillarious time discovering the body, and immediately had to have a session with Dr. Kroger, where they discuss his wife’s tourette’s syndrome. Randy then poses as the dead mom when the son comes back, which lead to a hillarious panicky Randy begging for them to come and get him off. They take him into custody, where Monk realizes that the son had a knife with him, but the first victim was killed with a steak knife. He investigated the home of the second victim where he found a ripped off piece of tape that matched a box at the first victim’s home. He had solved the case. Here’s what happened: The first victim’s husband was having an affair, and the woman who he was cheating with had sent a package with his things to his wife, however, it had accidentally been sent to the other Julie Teeger, the second victim. It happened all the time, so she sent it to the first victim. He killed his wife, and then went and killed the other. This was a great episode and I look forward to next week’s Mr. Monk Paints his Masterpiece.

Star Wars Battlefront 2

 

(8.75/10.00) The second installment in the Battlefront franchise, this is easily one of my favorite Star Wars games. It’s hard to say the time frame for it, because it takes place whenever you want. My favorite mode, Galactic Conquest, has you battling for complete…conquest of your given galaxy while fighting the enemy’s attempts at control of the galaxy. One thing that’s unique is the variation, with 5 different timeframes to play GC in. You can play as the rebels against the empire, the republic against the droid army, the empire against the rebels (which means shooting Ewoks) and more. There are several upgrades and other units to buy, and the classic purchase of a hero to help you out. I kicked butt as Luke Skywalker at Mygeeto. The game was over in 1 minute. There are also several other possibilities, including different challenges, and the quick play which allows you to pick several battles to play in succession. Sometimes in Conquest I just didn’t feel like battling the same people over though, which sometimes happened. I really liked this game for the PSP, and it provided and filled all of my Star-Wars-on-the-go battling needs.
