Dancing With the Stars season six week 8

As we reach the final five, the judges relaxed the rules a little for this week- for each dance, one legal lift in the character of the dance is allowed. And as if that wasn’t enough, the results show also marked the 100^th

episode of DWTS, which meant that we got a whole host of returning stars, and a countdown of the judges’ top ten perfect scoring dances from the first five seasons. Read on for the usual more detailed recap.

Doctor Who: The Poison Sky

Recap

With ATMOS spewing poisonous gas into the air all across the world, it seems that humanity might just suffocate on its own planet- but why are the Sontarans really going to such lengths? Fortunately, the Doctor is on the case, but will even the assistance of Donna be enough to combat cloned Martha, unstable genius Luke Rattigan and the sheer bullheadedness of UNIT?

Lost season 4 episode 9: did we just jump the shark?

No, it’s not that this episode was particularly bad, just that I can’t help feeling that this was the exact point when I realised that a lot of the cleverness in the writing seems to have bled dry, leaving us with clichéd rhetoric like “that island was always mine and you know it. Still, I’m too far in to stop watching now, so fear not, the blogging will continue on an internet near you.

Dancing With the Stars season six week 7

The difficulty stepped up a notch this week with each couple having to learn both a ballroom and a Latin routine- and unsurprisingly, it caused something of a stir on the dance floor. With everything from a shake-up in the leader board to an injury mid-routine, this week could only be described as eventful.

Doctor Who: The Sontaran Stratagem

Recap

On present-day Earth, ATMOS is the answer to carbon emissions, a module that makes your car emission free, and comes with free satnav. But when over fifty people die simultaneously whilst driving their ATMOS-installed cars, UNIT member Martha Jones decides to call in some extra help- namely the Doctor and his new assistant Donna Noble. Will the Doctor be able to deduce the alien enemy behind ATMOS before it’s too late?

Dancing With the Stars season six week 6

It’s every couple for themselves this week as they all take on different dances, not to mention their first ever group dance. But it was this time last season that favourite Sabrina unexpectedly crashed out of the competition, so will there be a similar shock elimination this time around?

The Magnificent Seven

Heroes season one episodes 22-3 [end]

Apologies for taking so long with this; Heroes season two will start in the UK on BBC2 this Thursday at 9pm (the next episode follows on BBC3 at 10:30pm).

DL, Nikki, Jessica and Micah

Micah is still with Candice, and now the time for him to act has come- on election day, she takes him to a voting booth, where he uses his power to create a landslide victory for Nathan.

Meanwhile, DL and Jessica have made it all the way to Linderman’s office in an attempt to get their son back. Upon being confronted by them, Linderman tries to appeal to Jessica, telling her he will pay her handsomely for killing DL.

Dancing With the Stars season six week five

Believe it or not, we’ve already reached the halfway mark of the competition, as traditionally marked by Latin Night, the so-called “sexiest night of the competition”. The clothes get skimpier, the flesh is revealed and the fake tan goes into overload- but will the slow, teasing rumba or the carnival fun of the samba be enough to save our celebrities from elimination?

Doctor Who: Planet of the Ood

Recap

When the TARDIS is set on random, you can end up anywhere, anytime- and as it happens, the Doctor and Donna have landed in the 42^nd century, on the so-called “Ood sphere” where Ood are raised and shipped across the galaxies to serve humanity. According to those in charge, the Ood are happy to serve, but when a condition known as “Red-Eye” starts turning the docile aliens into angry killers, it may only be the first clue as to the questionable practices going on behind the scenes.

Doctor Who: The Fires of Pompeii

Recap

When the Doctor plans to take Donna to Ancient Rome, he manages to mess up once again, landing them in Pompeii- on volcano day. Naturally, Donna wants to change the past, but the Doctor insists that they don’t interfere- at least until he learns that aliens are already at work in this time period. Can the Doctor foil an alien plot without changing a fixed point in history?
