More because it’s vaguely amusing and you get to see Blake Lively (Serena) do the robot than because it’s very funny, here’s the Gossip Girl season two gag reel.
And although Hugh Laurie gets all the kudos these days for his American accent, Ed Westwick who plays Chuck Bass does an equally good job I think – and here’s proof of just how English he is in real life, together with his advice on how to convince people you’re American. He might be joking.
Heroes news is hotting up as its fourth season premiere next month approaches. NBC has another promo out for the next volume of Heroes, this one called ‘Dreams’. It doesn’t reveal too much that’s new, although if you look closely, you’ll notice that (spoiler) Tracy now appears to be indestructible, too, in her own watery way.
Nothing especially weird about these clips from Airwolf, but I do love it so and it’s been ages since I posted any. These are all from the first season (aka the good one) and all represent some original thinking, something that disappeared in later episodes.
The first is basically the first six minutes of Airwolf, which introduces the whole show and demonstrates its unique selling points. Let’s not forget the great David Hemmings here at work as Airwolf’s creator. Unfortunately, the clip leaves off the next classic bit (“The Firm has shown great confidence in my ability to change” – “I’m sure they were justified” – “Not really”. And then he blows everyone up), but it’s still as good an intro as they come.
The next clip comes from Echoes of the Past, in which some sneaky Russian spies get as far as kidnapping our heroes and Airwolf, sticking it into the back of a cargo plane and flying away. How do our heroes get out of that? Well, you’ll just have to watch.
And lastly, we have a scene from the season finale, To Snare A Wolf, in which the government agents chasing after Airwolf finally catch up with it. They then take advantage of a unique problem with helicopters, to which there turns out to be a unique solution. Interestingly, the final “bombing run” that follows used the most explosives in American TV history. And in a nice bit of forward planning, the government agent in charge turns out to be the guy who did the narration at the start of each episode.
Promos are already out for the sixth season of House. Obviously, there’s a few spoilers, so if you haven’t seen the end of the fifth season, don’t watch this. But it looks interesting, the premiere’s going to be two hours long, and Franka Potente’s going to be in it. Cool.
