ANTM: It's a Hoot!

Last time on “ANTM”: Alicia Keys stopped by to have the girls walk in a fashion show for her charity. It was a challenge which Kiara won. Then the girls posed as cheerleaders where we learned Laura had a fear of heights. This was after she had let Kristin share the Tyra Suite with her rather than BFF Leila and they had a big fight where Leila accused Laura of being self-centered and Laura broke down. But Leila ended up falling to the bottom with Brittany at panel and she was sent home. Eight girls remain; who will be eliminated tonight? Find out!

ANTM: Girl on Fire

Last time on ANTM: Tyler Perry showed up to help with an acting challenge. Despite the fact I still think Yvonne or even Victoria should’ve won, Kiara won. But she wasn’t the biggest bitch on the show this week. That went to Kristin, who needled Destiny and talked back to Johnny. The girls portrayed zombies. Lauren rose to the top while Destiny and Yvonne fell to the bottom. In the end, Destiny was sent to join Jessie and Darian in an attempt to get back in the competition. Nine girls remain, who gets eliminated tonight? Find out!

The Glee Season 4 Premiere: My 2 Cents

So, the premiere has come and gone. I was nervous for this season and I still am. But this episode was pretty good. Here are my thoughts. I’ll separate them into “New York” and “Ohio”.

ANTM: Tyler Perry’s House of Cray-Cray

Last time on “ANTM:” It was time for makeovers! Except they were optional! But they really weren’t because opting out meant a talking to from Tyra and Kelly. Victoria began to panic but Maria didn’t care. She finally left the competition during the photo shoot. No one cared as they were posing nude with one Rob Evans. At panel, Victoria rose to the top while Darian and Yvonne fell to the bottom. It came down to social media and Darian was sent home, but no before Tyra teased her with the possibility of coming back. Ten girls remain, who will go home tonight? Find out!

Mr. Weasley’s Adventures in Space

Dinosaurs on a Spaceship or “Dinosaurs on a Ship”

Why mess with a perfect title? Mr. Weasley learns there’s a bigger world outside the wizarding one as he journeys with the Doctor, the Ponds, Nefertiti and some hunter to a spaceship. With dinosaurs. And sarcastic robots.

The Doctor talks to an Egyptian queen before we see him talking to some military girl. There’s a big ship coming. But they can’t communicate with it and the military will shoot it if it comes too close to Earth. The Doctor has six hours nineteen minutes to stop it. He takes the queen—Nefertiti—to the African plains over a century ago. He talks to a man who he takes with him. Meanwhile, Mr. Weasley tries to fix the light bulb as the TARDIS appears in their living room. They end up on the bridge. Mr. Weasley is confused as the Doctor instructs everyone to grab a torch.

In the end, Leila gets the best photo and access to the Tyra Suite. Meanwhile, Destiny and Jessie fall to the bottom. But the public liked Destiny more than Jessie and she is sent home. Except not! She can compete to come back into the competition! Who joins her? Find out!

Love Never Dies, but Continuity Sure Does

A few years ago, it was announced Andrew Lloyd Webber was going forward with a sequel to his megahit “The Phantom of the Opera.” The theater community was…intrigued, yet cautious. It had been so long and the show was (is) so beloved. Also, Andrew Lloyd Webber hasn’t really had a hit on Broadway since Phantom opened. “The Woman in White” closed before the Tonys! So, we kept our ears open for news. And got a laugh when it was reported one of Webber’s cats deleted the score.

But it seemed Webber was serious about pushing forward with it. At a festival held on his estate, Webber debuted the first act. The reviews were positive though fans continued to remain cautious. Especially when it seemed Webber would follow the plot of Frederick Forsyth’s novel, “Phantom of Manhattan.” (It is a “sequel” to the book musical). Most shuddered when they considered that. But things pushed forward. Webber announced plans to debut the show simultaneously in London, New York and Hong Kong. As time grew closer, though, those plans were dropped for an opening only in London with plans for other productions to be determined.

Nostalgia Nook: Recess

I have a question: Do Saturday morning cartoons still exist? Or are they a dying breed because stations like Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Disney have animated shows throughout the week? That there is no need to wake up, get a bowl of cereal and plop down in front of the TV after a long week at school? Because if not, I feel bad for any possible offspring I may have.

Because I grew up with Saturday morning cartoons. And I loved them! Especially after ABC relaunched their Saturday morning lineup as “One Saturday Morning.” One of my favorite shows was “Recess.”

So, wait for the bell and watch the SPOILERS!

Adventures in the Cavern of Rusted Daleks

Asylum of the Daleks or “How the Daleks Forgot the Doctor”

Apparently, there are Daleks even the Daleks don’t want to deal with. They send the Doctor down, where he deals with Jenna-Louise Coleman and the Ponds’ deteriorating marriage. And something about milk.

We start with a Dalek. That a man fought the Daleks and then died. But he will come back…like King Arthur? A woman hopes the stories are true. The Doctor shows up to reveal we are on Skaro to meet the woman. He wants to know what she knows, especially about him. She wants him to rescue her daughter, who is in a Dalek prison camp. The Doctor wonders why she isn’t and notes she is cold. She is a trap as the Doctor gets blasted. The Daleks celebrate.

ANTM: Just Hanging Around

Last week on ANTM: Tyra tricked me into watching a casting episode. Thirty girls from several colleges and beauty schools converged on LA for a chance to be on the 19th cycle of the show. Tyra and Kelly are back, but there are new things! Mr. Jay is gone, replaced with Johnny Wujek. Nigel is gone, replaced by Rob Evans. And the rotating guest judge? Is now people who voted while the season was taping. So the judges whittled down the contestants to the final 13. Who gets the bad luck (or good fortune?) to get kicked off first? Find out!
