Supernatural: I'm cautiously overjoyed that demon-slaying girl is a demon and that she called out Sam on being prejudiced. One of the things that I adored most about last season was the establishing that the SPNverse is a free-will one, which it did re the vampires that chose to be good, so if they do continue that with new girl I will be incredibly happy. Though if they take that away to pander to the Girl! Cooties! Ew! element of the SPN fandom I reserve the right to be most pissed-off and vocal about it.
On to the rest, I was spooked out fabulously by the changelings - unsurprisingly as it is very hard to go wrong with Evil Children - and the mirror reveals *shudders* happily all over again.
Mini-Dean! was fantastic and adorable and Dad! Dean beyond adorable and proud and positively edible. I do hope mom is fibbing as the idea of the mini-hunter next generation of Winchester boy saving his little friends and kicking bullies in the 'nads is irresistible, even if the show itself wouldn't want to put Dean in a Dad demographic - even as a DILTF.

Smallville:"Well, that was shite on a stick.
Send insulin.
My teeth hurt.
The Clana; it burns.

Heroes;With nicking a car in a main square with cops in it the Tedium Twins have put themselves in the too stupid to live category and when this is added to the interminal repetitiveness of their scenes need to die immediately, along with the cretin that runs off with them after needing bleeding from the eyes to death. For goodness sake, a Mexican prison has to be preferable to a repeat. And choosing to kill people - never a good way of encouraging viewer sympathy for Tedium Girl.
Hopes that the killer Tedium Twins encounter Dexter on their deeply boring way north.
Offing DL off-screen - deeply unsound.
Well, that was money for nothing for Uhura. Was a line too much to ask?
Can the Oirish storyline end now too, please. Boring, boring, boring with a side-order of ear-bleeding last encountered with the excruciating Boreanaz travesty, with a side-order of grossly unconvincing ship, topped off with a ludicrous not opening the box decision to slow the storyline is not a recipe for making this viewer happy. And of course the really heavily Botoxed one from Enterprise *spits* was guilty.
Japan - I can tell I'm being played and so's Hiro. It's US telly and we know exactly how English accented characters are all too frequently the designated villains. If Kensai's was meant to have a real attitude to shift from this is Evol/self-serving show us, even if it means paying a few stuntmen. Not doing it - Kensei's playing both the Japanese characters (ooh, spot yet another of the show's skeezy race issues) - and we've just seen the end of season big bad, in a way that's not even a well done Gotcha.
Stalker Flying Boy needs a close encounter with Mr Bennet and a selection of sharp instruments of Daddy B' choice. Failing that, sucked into a jet engine will do fine.
I'm fully aware that yet again this is US Show and Mr B will not survive the series intact, but they off HRG this season and I'm gone.
Candace - telling Sylar that - too dumb to live. Ooh, that was the kind of surprise that wasn't. Along with the Sylar the overpowered is as unable to be effective as the other over-powered character.
House of M love - all three of them. Though Mo does backslide back towards his last season membership of the Too Dumb To Live Club with phoning from the heavily survailed lab of set re-use.
And Niki's putting in her own application for said club. Shakes head sadly.
Claire having to look at the bad things her dad's done good - but yet another re-tread in a new series full of 'em. Girl saw what he had done to her mom last year, this is just repetition for the sake of what will probably be a Gotcha with the painting.
Who'll be gosmacked when Uhura turns out to be one of the founders of the company? Didn't think so.
Someone needs to run a book as to when Walter Koenig turns up.
I was worried they were introducing too many characters too fast. I'm not happy I'm right and that we've still more to come makes me less happy.

Yeah. I'm not sure I understand WTF is up with the twins, because I really don't give a shit about them, and that is what drew me in to the series from the start...you cared.

Wait...didn't DL die in Malcolm McDowell's office?

They've really failed badly with the twins.

DL was badly hurt but still standing at the end of the finale.

Ah...yeah. I haven't seen it since, so I'd forgotten DL wasn't ded.

And also? Why the hell do we need *3* people who can fly on the show? Have they run out of special mutant gifts?

It would seem odd, especially as the source comics are full of different mutations.

I'll hold the door open for you as I leave.

I thought the evil children's real form was very X Files.

Which makes sense as some of the writers are ex-X-Files.

I think the mom was lying about Mini-Dean's parentage. He was way too adorably Deanish!

He really was.

"Tedium Twins" - that's a perfect description!
