Christian Slater set to Join a new Fox Comedy Pilot
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Slater will play the lead in an untilted Fox comedy pilot that revolves around the Titan Team, a group of super-smart twentysomethings who break into complex security systems.
Slater's character, a military vet, is a snarky, renegade womanizer with a "checkered past." The actor will pull double-duty as a producer on the series, which also stars newbie Trevor Moore as one of the Titan Team members, and was created by 'Aliens in America' and 'How to Train Your Dragon' writer Adam F. Goldberg.
Is it just me or does it look like Christian's been doing the botox thing as of late? I like his acting and think he's really great but after seeing him on Extreme Home Make Over this past weekend I was like "What's up with the face? LOVE that Joker!"
Immigration rally draws thousands to Washington
The issue I have with this is that illegal immigrants are in the country illegally and I wonder how many of them were at this rally. Let us take a look at the word "illegal" it implies activity that is wrong, illegal in nature, not sanctioned by official rules (as of a game), not according to or authorized by law, unlawful, illicit. Hence, a person who is in the country "illegally" tends to know that they have broken the law and are not authorized to be here. The problem in the US is that we've become dependent on this type of labor and hence have caused the problem to become even worse.
Desperate Housewives - “My Two Young Men”
Last week's episode set a lot of storylines in motion: Preston and Irina's upcoming wedding, Sam becoming a part of Bree's life, Katherine and Robin potentially becoming a couple, and Patrick eventually finding the Bolens. This week, these four storylines continued to be developed and questions were raised as we fast approach the final episodes of this season of 'Desperate Housewives.'
Before I comment on these four storylines and the fact that Preston still has the worst fake mustache in TV history, I must warn you that the next new episode will air on April 18. That means we will have to wait close to a month before getting new dish on our favorite Wisteria Lane residents!
Preston and Irina's upcoming wedding
Lynette and Tom really have underestimated Irina's skills, will and power, eh? Preston is so blinded by love that he doesn't see how manipulative Irina is. She convinced him to ditch college in order to pay for a three-bedroom apartment and to move the wedding up so she would become Mrs. Scavo sooner rather than later, so Lynette could be taken out of the equation.
With such skills and beauty, I wonder why Irina is sticking with Preston instead of trying to find an old rich man to marry her and spoil her with his money. Could it be that really deep down, Irina does have some feelings for Preston? Or maybe she just wants to become a US citizen and decided to have some fun in the meantime? What's your take on Irina? Do you think she loves Preston?
As I've said last week, Irina's presence is offering us some pretty fun scenes. This week, it was the one where Lynette and Tom go down memory lane and remember what it was like in their first apartment!
Sam becoming a part of Bree's life
I admit it, I was blinded by the fact Rex somewhat came back in the picture -- I loved Rex! -- and didn't see the twisted turn of events coming: Sam may not be a Van De Kamp after all! Per Mary Alice's hints and because of the evil smile Sam had while eavesdropping on Bree and Orson's conversation, it does look like the photo is a fake and that Sam is not Rex's son after all.
Who is Sam? This twist means that some of the fan theories from when Sam was first introduced could turn out to be true. For example, Sam could be George's son after all. Sam could have decided to pretend he was Rex's son in order to get close to Bree, have her put her guard down, and hurt her when she least expects it -- to seek revenge for George's death.
I can't wait to see what Andrew will dig up and how he and Orson will use the intel to get Sam out of Bree's life. One great line from this storyline: "If you don't mind, I'll hug you later." - Andrew to Sam
Katherine and Robin potentially becoming a couple
It does look like the writers are paving the way for Katherine and Robin to leave the show. It wasn't surprising to see how much Katherine took to heart what other people thought about her, especially since she is all about appearances just as Bree is. What was surprising, at least to me, was to see Katherine tell Robin that she was wiling to follow her elsewhere and see where their relationship went. Talk about taking a leap of faith! Katherine may not be ready to have her friends and neighbors dish and gossip on her newfound relationship, but she is willing to give it a try. Good for her. She deserves some happiness after all the drama, no?
Katherine may have packed Robin's suitcases, but it's unlikely that the ladies will go to Paris or elsewhere before the season is over. However, since both Dana Delany and Julie Benz are starring in pilots, both could end up leaving Wisteria Lane if their series are picked up.
Patrick eventually finding the Bolens
Angie came clean about telling Rose that Patrick is Danny's son to Nick when she came back from her trip to New York. Even if Nick isn't Danny's biological father, he is the only father Danny ever knew, and he was there every step of the way. We even learned this week that Nick was in the delivery room and was the first person to hold Danny.
Sadly for Nick, Patrick knows exactly where they live now, and he's willing to kill in order to get back what Angie "stole" from him. If Patrick was wiling to kill Iris, Rose's neighbor, in order to keep secret the fact he was going after Angie, imagine what he'll be willing to do to people who'll stand in his way when trying to get Danny!!! Angie and Nick are in danger but so could other Wisteria Lane residents who may decide to step in Patrick's way. I wonder what Patrick would do if Danny told him to go away and leave him alone with Nick and Angie?
Here few quotes that stood out from this episode:
- “What do we really know about him? He seems to be too good to be true, huh?”
-”She took something from me. I’m going to take it back.”
-”self-serving piece of eurotrash who would sell her own mother for a pair of designer jeans!”
-”Just because i enjoy having sex with you doesn’t mean I am a lesbian!”
-”You’re giving out my dad’s stuff to a total stranger and I’m being unreasonable?’Yeah, I know he’s the perfect son,problem is, he’s not yours.”
What did you think of this week's episode? Where do you think these storylines are going? Did you enjoy the other storyline of the episode which had Susan and Gaby selling candy bars in the hopes their kids would win?
