The season so far
If everything was alright in La-la land we would be in the midst of November sweeps. Although the writers and the producers are in negotiations again there are only so many episodes left (check out Ausiello’s handy list, you know in case they do not reach a deal and if you are like me worried how many episodes of House you can look forward to). Lets take a look at the season so far.
Pleasantly surprised
Ugly Betty – well I have to say the writers of Ugly Betty have come out on top so far this year. It is still Betty as we know it, a bit corny and bitter sweet, however the pace has picked up and it is sooo much funnier this year don’t you think?
House – I was a bit worried about the whole reality TV experiment. However, not only the writers have managed to pull it off but we have had the first ever case of lupus in 3-something years yay! (as we all know it is never lupus). Hugh Laurie is still brilliant as ever, the new additions do make a great mix, however I have to admit I do miss the original 3.
Unpleasantly surprised
Heroes – Goodness gracious me! I know Tim Kring apologized for the crappiness so far and the pace has picked up of late, but it is still a far cry from the Heroes we have all grown to love over the last year. Hiro with the princess lark, cheerleader with the flying dude and the twins por favor don’t even get me started on the twins, at least in Ugly Betty you know you are watching a piece of telenovela.
Grey’s anatomy – I’m not feeling it at all. Remember how emotionally charged it was in the second season? This is just meh. Ok last week there was finally some gushing blood and disgusting injuries and whatnot, but it is a far cry from the Grey we have grown accustomed to.
On the fence
Supernatural – do not get me wrong I really like the Winchester boys. The whole premise that Sam is the Antichrist himself; well that is an interesting spin. And while the last week episode was a bit too gruesome for my taste (now that’s a first, it does take a fair bit to gross me out but in my defense I am having stomach problems for the past week or so) for some reason I’m not that enthusiastic about Supernatural this year. I was expecting buckets of blood and demons everywhere and all sorts of things. After all they have opened up the gates of hell, am I a bit foolish to think it would be more hm interesting then this?
Reaper – it has potential to be a really good show, but all the episodes I have seen so far, well they are all the same aren’t they? Or have I perhaps missed something?
So what is your opinion, the good and the bad this season?

You bring up an interesting point about Supernatural; I guess we’re supposed to be patient before we find out what those 200+ demons have in mind (minus the 7 deadly sins, and other assorted demons that have been dispatched already this season). Sam was supposed to be the leader of the demon army, right? Until YED got himself shot, that is. Now, it should be a demon free-for-all, but I’m guessing they’re waiting until later in the season to let us see that. I think they’ve also let the demon army story line take a backseat to the “how will Sam save Dean” plot. I’m okay with that, actually; the demons will still be there when Dean’s year-to-live is finally up.

I guess you are right although I do hope they will not keep it from us until the very last minute
Oh and I’m kinda hoping Papa Winchester will be featured in one way or another… I know I’m a horrible sucker for Jeffrey Dean Morgan heheee
