TV's Most 'OH Get Together Already!' Couples Part 1

Call it a guilty pleasure but us television junkies take our favourite characters' romance seriously. We cheer them on when they finally reveal their feelings to each. We do a fangirl scream when they finally kiss. We also shed a tear (or using up boxes of tissue for some of us) when they are force to break up. But after deligently following a show season after season, we just can't help but yell "OH! Just Get TOGETHER Already!". Here's a look at some of television's most awaited couples:

1. Fox Mulder and Dana Scully (X-Files)

We watched season after season as the couple chase down little green men, paranormal beings and shady government officials. It's obvious that they have feelings for each other but they just won't admit it. Viewers had to endure 8 seaons of almost romance before they shared a kiss. EIGHT seasons just for a kiss?? Phewww..what a wait

2. Seely Booth and Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Bones)

The unlikely coupling of an FBI agent and an anthropologist had us on a hook for 6 seasons. Each season, we keep hoping that Bones would let go of her rational thinking for once and just get it on with Booth. Thankfully she finally did by the end of season 6 and now they are a couple with a baby on the way.

3. Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert (The Vampire Diaries)

Right from the beginning, a strong chemistry is formed between these two but they never got together due to a string of complicated situations. That include Elena who got together with Damon's brother, a psychotic doppleganger ex girlfriend coming back to raise hell and add in the fact that he's a vampire. Midway of season 3, they finally shared a real kiss. Hopefully there'smore where that came from.

The Lorenzo Von Matterhorn by Barney Stinson

I just finished from laughing too much on the latest episode of How I met your Mother. I got to say this epi really tops ups the others. Just a gist of of the story, this time around in the episode entitled "The Playbook", Barney reveals that he has something called the Playbook - the black book which has every trick he has used or wishes he could use on women to get them to go with him. There was one particular trick called the Lorenzo Von Matterhorn. The scam here is to pick a very unique name (I have never heard of matterhorn in my entire life before) and set up a series of websites. Once you go to the bar, pick a girl with a nice phone. Introduce yourself as if you are famous. Obviously when the girl doesn't know who you are, pretend to walk off for awhile. She does a background check on you. Walah....there are a series of sites that promote your image ..you come back and offer her coffee...she jumps at the chance and to quote Barney "It is ON...." *winks*

The most amazing part of Meet Mom is that the show is so phenomenal that it really influences audiences to search for Lorenzo's info after watching that episode. Wikipedia even reported that the name was the most searched term of the day after the airing of that episode (epi 9 of season 5). I, too, was curious and search for it. Surprisingly there were so many sites talking about Lorenzo. Some were real and some were fabricated as shown in the episode. You may visit these following sites and view Lorenzo's "achievements".

In the meantime, this a full video of Barney's video resume which will have you Laughing!! Enjoy!

Fringe Season 2 Episode Premier Review

I have just finished watching Episode 1 of season 2's Fringe and I'm really glad to say that J.J and team did not disappoint at all. Yes, it's THAT GOOD. Not wanting to give too much of spoilers for the show here is a brief story about what has happened so far.

The series opens with a modern day shapeshifter (you'll see what I mean by modern) taking the form of a victim. On the other hand, Olivia was found missing from her car until she reappeared back suddenly by crashing out of the car's screen. Weird isn't it? If you follow this show, you will see all kinds of weird and gross stuff. Turns out that FBI is also seeking to shut down the fringe division despite their efforts of keeping the world safe. Meanwhile, the shapeshifter assassin is after Olivia who strangly does not remember of her visit to the parallel universe with William Bell, the president of the sinister Massive Dynamics. Well, let's just say the ending is quite shocking if you have been following the series.

If you would like to know more about fringe please follow the series. It's really good. Especially recomended for supernatural, sci-fi, and gross fans. Follow The Patern!!

New Series Coming Your Way

September is the month to look out for TV lovers as many of our beloved shows are finally returning to televisions for subsequent seasons. 2009 also marked the year that one of my favourite series, Prison Break has finally ended it's run on Fox (R.I.P Michael Scofield). So i guessed it was time to search for new shows to follow. Here are 2 new series that are returning for a second season to tv boxsets.

Fringe will be returning on Fox network on September 17th, at 9pm. Although this series has been slammed by many people including parents councils for its gory content being not suitable for kids to watch. However I feel that Fringe deserves a mention as one of the new series to look out for because that particular content. It's true that some may cringe or scream "yi yerrrr" from time to time but J.J Abrams(Co creator of Fringe, Alias and Lost) has done it again with engaging weird stories.

This series resembles alot of X-files and Twilight Zone as it combines both supernatural & Sci-fi elements that can be explained in terms of science. It revolves around a special division of FBI who investigate the area of fringe science or science that is believed to be not possible (Teleportation, Pyrokinesis, Animal Reconstruction). Throughout the series these people would investigate a series of horrible & unexplained events that are random plus it can happen to anyone and anytime in the world. Only known as The Pattern it is believed that someone is conducting experiments while using the world as their lab. Events from season one include flesh dissolving toxin, a woman who gives birth to a child that grew & dies of old age hours later, a computer program that liqufies a person's brains etc. Another thing is the mysterious glyphs that appear throughout the show which is a code that challenges viewers to break everytime. Fans of Star Trek would also love the appearance of Leonard Nimoy @ Mr. Spock in season 2. If that's what J.J has to offer for season 1, I can't wait to see what happens next in season 2.

Look at these images that look normal at first glance until you take a closer look.
Follow The Pattern.

Another new addition would be Leverage that premiered it's second season in US in July. The story tells of how sometimes in certain situations you may find yourself helpless as you may have been wronged & the organizations have too much power & money that they could just brush off all problems, thus escaping justice. Sometimes one would've to turn to the bad guys or conmen to help them get some payback. These so called bad guys - the mastermind, a grifter, a thief, a hitter and a hacker can do just that for you as they rob the rich & bad, get payback & make alot of money(Bad guys often are the richest people).

This show would appeal if you like shows such as Ocean's 11, 12 & 13 as the gang plots to con their intended victims (the bad guys) and provide leverage to their clients at the same time. Usually you would be surprised at the end of the epidsode as things are not what they seem. Similiarly, for a con/heist show Leverage decides to take themselves lightly with jokes in the show which makes it fun to watch. I found myself laughing along with alot of memorable moments of Leverage that is both cool and hilarious to watch. Personally, I find that they have improved in terms of everything in season 2. Certainly a show that is recommended to watch.

The modern Robin Hood gang of "Bad Guys".

Also on a bright note, I'm pleased to announce the return of Supernatural season 5 this month in US. After what happened in season 4 (fans I'm sure you would know), I really can't wait to see Dean and Sam back in action!! Spoiler: The first few minutes of season 5 sees Dean driving angel Zachariah out of the house which looks so cool I may add=)

"Being scared just got one helluva lot sexier". Well we can't exactly deny that on supernatural=)

Feel free to check out these series in the meantime as more will be coming your way.
