My husband is a huge fan of the Terminator movie franchise. He has watched each film (even that last one with Christian Bale and McG) multiple times, and can look at a screen grab from any scene and tell you exactly which installment it’s from and what’s going on in it. I think that’s a bit crazy, but to each his own!
Anyway, I think this T2: Judgment Day Limited Edition collection would make a great birthday present for him! It’s a special set that contains all Blu-Ray versions of T2: Judgment Day ever released. I honestly didn’t know there were so many different editions of the same film! Yes, that’s right: these six discs are NOT of all the different movies in the series. They are ALL different versions of T2, with the various bonus features that were included with each release.
In addition to the discs, this collection comes with a 14″ T-800 Endoskull bust. The bust is just made of plastic, but it still looks pretty cool! The eyes light up red and it also plays music from T2 when you turn it on.
I know my husband would love this T2: Judgment Day Limited Edition collector’s set! It’s on sale at Buy.com for around $129, which seems like a decent price considering all the stuff you can get with it. Since it’s a limited edition, however, there’s a chance that the set will be sold out. That means I better act now!
Burn Notice 3×12 — “Noble Causes”: This episode wasn’t all that interesting for me. I thought the Odd Job of the Week was boring, and I was reminded of Sarah Palin’s rant against Rahm Emmanuel every time Lynch used the word “retard”. What timing for the show, huh? Also, I was under the impression that the stuff with Gilroy would be more rogue-ish than stealing some documents from a foreign embassy. That was kind of a dull use of Michael’s time as well. And why wouldn’t Michael want that little plan to succeed? They were just after documents, right? Maybe he was worried because his temporary teammate said he would take out any security guards that saw him.
House 6×13 — “Moving the Chains”: I liked some parts of this episode, but hated others. On the good side was the stuff about Foreman and his brother. I have come to hate Foreman because he’s such a humorless stiff, but when he has a decent storyline, he can be a compelling character. Loved the brother too, and hope he can pop in from time to time.
Lost 6×01-6×02 — “LA X”: I have absolutely given up trying to figure out wtf is going on anymore. From reading some message boards, I learned that some of the temple people had been introduced in the past, but I didn’t recognize or remember any of them. The whole temple thing was just weird — and kind boring to me. I much preferred the LAX parts and seeing what would have happened if the plane hadn’t gone down the first time. Actually, I thought that kind of slow-mo montage of everyone getting off the plane would have been a nice way to end the series. They had all those adventures and experiences together on the island, but because of a time jump or whatever, they just go on their merry way as though nothing ever happened. 
Criminal Minds 5×14 — “Parasite”: This case was kind of boring. I didn’t buy Brady as an FBI agent, so he annoyed me right from the start. The killer and his motives/victims were dull. I just wasn’t feeling this ep at all. Blah. Let’s hope it returns to form next week.
Friends is one of my favorite sitcoms of all time. I remember it was part of that amazing NBC “Must-See TV” lineup on Thursday nights back in the day, along with Seinfeld and ER, two of my other favorites. My boyfriend and I used to get takeout and just plop down in front of the television for two solid hours of these great programs. 
24 8×06 — 9pm – 10pm: Not much happened in this episode, and it seems like we haven’t had any kind of early payoff yet this season. Sure, there have been a couple of great scenes (Renee cutting off the guy’s monitor bracelet comes to mind) but no exciting reveals or big twists thus far. What’s going on? This “day” seems to be developing a lot more slowly than in past seasons.
HIMYM 5×14 — “Perfect Week”: This episode was total filler and as a result, was pretty boring. There were a few chuckles along the way, but overall, I wouldn’t rate this as one of the better efforts of the season. And I have to say that although I loved Barney when he was secretly longing for Robin, I cannot stand him when he’s in all-out womanizer mode like in this ep. He is increasingly becoming the focus of these episodes, which I think is a big mistake.
I’m not much of a fan of comic book franchises that are turned into movies or television series, but my husband is. I liked Spider-Man with Tobey Maguire well enough, but didn’t really get into other recent films — not even The Dark Knight. Now my husband is anxiously awaiting the release of The Flash, which is supposed to hit the big screen sometime in 2011, reportedly with Ryan Reynolds in the title role.
