Astro's 3 Digit Move

I was momentarily confused to why my Astro wasn't working yesterday. My 4 year old niece had to tell me that Astro has changed their channel numbering system to 3 digits now ... All this to make room for their 100+ channels. More TV! Yeah!!

Gol & Gincu Online

Here's a blog that posts episodes from Season 2 of Gol & Gincu . I tried to watch a full episode, but can't do it. I guess sweaty emo chicks just don't do it for me. But seriously, why bother calling it Gol & Gincu at all? It hardly has any futsal in it (and no, gossiping at the bench doesn't count). The TVP style acting is fun to watch though... and chicks are cute.

The Malaysian Twilight Zone: Dark City

Astro Ria is going to be running this series called Dark City . It's suppose to have a Twilight Zone kinda feeling with a funky twist at the end of every episode. The 13 episodes are directed by 7 directors I've never heard of (I don't know that many...) that are suppose to be good. I haven't seen the show yet so I'll reserve my comment till after. In any case, it is still a refreshing step away from the usual local drama 'Minggu Ini' and daily serials, which thought are mildly entertaining tends to get stale after awhile. And I didn't even know Astro Ria airs shows that are in English. Oh.. and HAPPY MERDEKA!!!!

Hobbits are small men who lead quiet, peaceful lives in their homes in the ground. In a past adventure, a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins (Holm) found a ring that renders its wearer invisible. Although the ring had saved Bilbo's life a number of times, it contained great evil... so evil that the only way to destroy it would be to drop it into a lava pit at the center of a mountain, where the ring was forged. Now too weak to destroy it himself, the task falls to his young cousin, Frodo Baggins (Wood). Along with his friends Sam (Astin), Pippin (Boyd), a powerful wizard named Gandalf (McKellen) a dwarf, an elf, and two humans, Frodo will begin the most dangerous quest he will ever undertake.

Heroes: Flashback episode

Image
There is this theory when writing a novel to throw the first chapter away. The idea is to put the reader right into the action. Heroes has done just that, and I guess here is the first chapter they 'threw away'. " Six Months Ago. This episode shows the heroes six months ago. Chandra Suresh, Mohinder's father, arrives in New York looking for special people. He meets up with an individual that embraces the chance to be unique. Peter graduates from nursing school. Nathan plans to prosecute a case that could cause complications for the Petrellis. Niki receives a visit from her father which brings out the worst in her. Hiro tries to alter the future for someone important to him. Claire discovers her abilities right after joining the cheerleading squad, and her father meets up with someone special." So much blood so little time... Heroes (Season 1) - Wednesday 9:00 pm on STAR WORLD

Grey's Anatomy: Season 3

Image
Those of you who are fans of this series would be glad to know following the end of Season 2, ntv7 waste no time in diving into the third season. " Complications Of The Heart - This recap episode, narrated by Joe the Bartender, links the main plotlines of seasons 1 & 2 to the Season 3 premiere." And you know what's the cool thing?

Heroes: Hey, Isn't That The Bad Boy Gilmore Girls Guy?

Image
Heroes is like the X-men comic books in the the 80s before things really got crazy. It plays like a soap opera with cool cliff hangers at the end. " Homecoming. Events in this episode take place on the day of Claire's Homecoming game. Claire's father is growing desperate to stop the villain who is coming after Claire. Nathan gets the painting from Linderman, and is horrified by what it depicts. Mohinder's dreams hold secrets about his father. Ando waits for Hiro who still has not returned from the past. Peter must try to save the cheerleader and also himself." With all the hype surrounding this show, I'm sad to say I have only really watched 3 episodes of this TV series. Ever since they stopped airing the Gilmore Girls, that guy with the funny hair is the only link I have to Rory and her hot mom. Heroes (Season 1) - Tuesday 12:00 pm on Astro's STAR WORLD

A Reason To Watch Free Malaysian TV: Top Gear

Image
You have probably noticed that a few months ago Astro recently added a few more channels to it’s line up. One of them is the ultra cool and dry BBC Entertainment . You’d notice that everyone on this channel speaks with a weird accent; it’s because they’re British. I was a wee bit excited because I had hoped that this will give me a chance to watch the much talked about show Top Gear on the telly. What’s great about the show is you don’t have to be crazy about cars to enjoy it. It’s that entertaining! No such Luck. According to their website they weren’t planning to air Top Gear anytime soon … It thought that was that, and I would have to resort to torrents again, so imagine my surprise and delight to find the show airing on NTV7 instead! If you only watch Astro channels , this is an example of how you might be missing out on what Free TV has to offer. Top Gear - Sunday 3:00 pm on ntv7

3 TV Shows Worth Watching on Sundays on Discovery Channel

1. I Shouldn't BE Alive Every time I watch this TV show, I pretend I am the protagonist who is thrown into what seems to be a hopeless situation where the outcome can only be a horrible death at sea, dessert or rainforest. Yes death by heat, starvation, infected wounds or predators is what’s in store for me and whoever who is unfortunate enough to be with me at the time. I like to watch this in bed, under the covers whilst munching on something with the air conditioner turned ON. 2. American Chopper It’s funny that before I started watching this TV show, I had no interest in motorcycles whatsoever. In fact I still don't. The appeal of this show is not about the machines. It’s in watching these guys build them. Father, sons and co-worker together building a motorcycle from scratch. It’s entertaining to watch them bumbling about, getting things wrong and fooling around. I sincerely believe that an episode where Paul Sr. loses it or where Junior starts throwin
