SEE-SEE TV: Good News and Bad News

Good GG ep, devastating news for Dollhouse!

Those of you who routinely read ClickCliqueOnline already know that Lady GaGa would be making an appearance on one of Gossip Girl's episodes. And this past Monday, she finally did! The episode is titled The Last Day of the Disco Stick, which is a nice homage to one of her songs titled, Love Game.


In this episode, the Gossip Girl crew will deal with the day after a threesome, drug dealing, TISH, a married congressman, a lonely used-to-be fling/best friend and a Snow White satire with Lady GaGa's lyrics. Sounds interesting, no?

Let me tell you up front that this one of Gossip Girl's best episode this season! (Thanks to Blair, of course). The story between Hilary Duff's character, Olivia, Dan and Vanessa is really fun to watch and with Blair added to the mix, it was a masterpiece! I'm happy to report that Serena's story line in this episode is not as awful as it usually is; the triangle between her, Nate and Trip is compelling to watch (for me, anyway). Jenny really needs some good slapping to her face and her screen time in this episode was really a let down. It's kinda cliche and I hate it. Sadly, there's not much of Chuck and he was only really involved in the Jenny story, but I can forgive him that because he's so good most of the other times. Well anyhow, I hope you guys will enjoy this GaGa episode as much as I did when it becomes available for my fellow Indonesian peeps.

I guess after this episode, we'll be saying goodbye to Olivia Burke for a while. She says she'll be back in the Fall. Who knows, she may really be back by then.

Now on to the very, very, VERY bad news. FOX have decided to cancel Josh Whedon's brilliant Dollhouse :'(. This is blasphemy, people. BLASPHEMY!

This show is so good! I understand that Friday nights in America are taboo TV nights and because Dollhouse is exiled to this spot, it didn't really do much good in terms of ratings. Oh but it needs to stay on air! From where will I get my Enver Gjokaj fix? :( Please, another network... pick it up!

CC TV; Dollhouse, Grey's Anatomy & Bones

Mannequins, doctors, FBI & lab rats.

Now I know I've been MIA for a couple of days, but I assure you it's been for a very good reason. I had a modeling gig and that practically took most of my time. I come home exhausted and in dire need of sleep. When I wake up, I had to get ready to go again and the vicious cycle continues. But anyhow, it's done and I'm back. I'll update ClickCliqueOnline first before I do any of my other stuff that I have at hand. First of all, it's time for another round of CC TV, as promised by my tweet.

Dollhouse:
The most recent episode is the one about Sierra's (Dichen Lachman) past and how she ended up being in the Dollhouse. She's the only one who is there without her own freewill (although, I guess that've changed). It was a heartfelt episode, especially the bits that had Victor (Enver Gjokaj) in it. I mean, how touching was it when Victor took all the black paint because Sierra didn't like it? And how cute was it when Echo (Eliza Dushku) gave Topher (Fran Kranz) the painting that Sierra made? All the scenes that had Topher in it was really awesome too (he's my favourite :D). All in all, it was a nice change from the usual Echo "assignment-of-the-week" episodes.

Now, I really, really, REALLY hope that Dollhouse does not get cancelled. I mean, it's a lot better than a lot of junk that's on American TV right now (hello One Tree Hill?). It definitely deserve to stay on the air. It's smart TV, I guess that's why lots of people don't like it? I also understand that it is because it's on Friday nights and that's taboo TV night in America? Whatever the reason is, I sincerely hope it'll stay on.

Grey's Anatomy:
So the most recent episode of Grey's didn't really do anything to progress the storyarcs. It was just one of those 'fun' episodes that didn't really add to anything. It was enjoyable to watch though, a bit of laughs in there too. I always knew that Dr. Kepner (Sarah Drew) would be the first of the Mercies to go (is it Kepner? I honestly can't be bothered to remember). She was the least likeable of the bunch.

Next week's episode will be a Derek (Patrick Dempsey) episode. It's been a while, but I can't say I'm excited. Derek episodes were only good when it had Addison (Kate Walsh) and Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) in it. Well, I don't think that that's the case for next week's ep. He's dreamy though, so I guess that's reason enough to tune in.

Bones
There's nothing much to report on the Bone's front. It was yet another usual "case-of-the-week" episode with slight teases of Booth (David Boreanaz) and Brennan (Emily Deschanel). I like the whole Mummy thing, I've always been a fan of ancient Egypt (those who know me long and well enough should know that by now).

I say cut the tease and bring on the whole romance! We can only wait for so long people; give us Booth and Brennan 2.0!
