Survivor 19

Samoa.

I like this season. It's like Cook Islands all over again. But I'm pretty sure that Samoa's Foa Foa is not as tight as Cook Islands' Aitutaki.

I think Mick is incredibly hot. I think Brett is incredibly cute. Both are likeable so I know Russell won't bring them to the end. Same goes for Natalie. So, yeah, Russell may only be using them to his advantage because I'm pretty sure Russell will bring Shambo. She is not in good terms with the Galu for flipping.

Now, Dave will do everything he can to get into that third position. Everything he can. He's a good physical player. Strategically, he's okay, too. Not as good as Russell, but maybe he'll come up with something.

However, based on the preview for next week, it looks like Mick and Jaison are catching up with Russell's schemes. Previews are deceiving, though. And Mick may never really go through with it. If so, they'll have to team up with the former Galu and without Russell, they'll have an even playing field.

I've never really been good with predicting Survivor and I really don't plan to. I just enjoy watching Survivor. Amazing Race, too, but not so much. I am rooting for the couple, though. The brothers must not win.

One thing is for sure, reality TV is killing scripted shows.

Potter is an Icon





Despite having monster movies, I am glad that Scholastics and Bloomsbury never published book covers featuring the stars of the film adaptation.

Why?

Harry made a name for himself even before the movies began. A strong fan base was already established.

Also, I believe that Ms. Rowling said no. She gave a firm no. Good for her.

Seeing these covers, it gives me a sense of where the movie version ends. And where my true loyalty lies.

Wizards in the Muggle World

Have you seen these wizards?

USA Today published an article about the two upcoming Harry Potter movies and this lovely photo was attached to it.

Dubbed as the first official photo of the trio for "Deathly Hallows", this shows Harry, Ron, and Hermione walking around London looking very alert. Looks like our favorite trio are in the hunt. Or are being hunted.

Rupert Grint is pulling off the haggard look, if you ask me.

And, yes, Daniel Radcliffe is taking his clothes off for the "Silver Doe" scene of the movie.

Dexter S4E10 "Lost Boys"


57 minutes of Dexter. You gotta love that, dears.

The title is probably a nod to Joel Schumacher's "The Lost Boys" which is actually a reference to the Lost Boys in J. M. Barrie's stories about Peter Pan and Neverland. However, Dexter's "Lost Boys" has no significance to both iconic pop culture jaggernauts.

It only means that there is more to the Trinity Killer than meets the eye. Yes, even better than Christin Hall being her daughter. I thought that was complete mindfuck already, but, no. I thought she was an accomplice. Christine doesn't even know what her father truly is. And with his great love for his father, he shot Lundy. Oedipux Complex, if you ask me. Arthur was furious, of course, but he kept his cool. I think Christine will die at the hands of his precious father.


Burying a child in cement. Four kills. Four walls of the house. It is genius. And in character for both Arthur and Dexter - Dexter and his spot spot for children and Arthur's childhood trauma.


Dexter moved his tools to the container where his mother was butchered, where the Dark
Passenger was born. Dexter is clever.


While Ben Linus is filming for dear LOST, I have this guy to entertain me. John Lithgow rivals the brilliance of Michael C. Hall. Equals. He will be nominated for his work on Dexter, mark my words.
They have good chemistry. Too bad Keith Carrandine is officially out of the show. He was good, too.


I enjoy the conversations between Dexter and Harry. Harry lives on through his code and through Dexter. He is a balance for the Dark Passenger. The glowing effect they have for Harry really
works, too. The sort of light in Dexter's mind.


Jonah actor is cute. I'm just saying. I wouldn't mind seeing him next season. Dexter found an ally in him. He was useful and I am thankful for his limited screen time.

I hate that Masuka never got to talk to Dexter about Rita and her kiss with the neighbor. Yes, I do want him to tell Dexter because I want to know how Dexter will react.

Who totally loved Dexter scream? I do! I do! Or that tender moment he had with baby Harrison at the end? So, so sweet!

Realization: The wonders Internet can do for stalking. Dexter taught me that.
