Hiya everyone!

Whoa... Tonight's episode made on a few 'Watch This' list. I post them shortly, but here's our regular reminder from Entertaiment Alley.

New ‘Chaos’ Finds Mincemeat Tonight – 7.9.11
July 9th, 2011 | Posted by Nezi



The ODS agents of CHAOS


So, how many episodes of Chaos have we run through? I believe there are only a couple left. Bummer, I know. It’s hard to believe that this fantastic little show has been so greatly ignored. On tonight’s episode, “Mincemeat,” the ODS team is out to help with a regime change. As a Middle Eastern dictator on his deathbed must choose his successor, the CIA sends the CHAOS agents in undercover to convince him to keep his violent son from taking power.

On Chaos, Freddy Rodriguez plays new CIA operative, Rick Martinez, the newest addition to the ODS. Eric Close plays Michael Dorset, the team’s tactical genius and slightly paranoid leader. James Murray plays Billy Collins, the ladies man who can smooth talk his way through anything. And, Tim Blake Nelson plays Casey Malick, a longtime CIA operative who functions as a human weapon for the ODS. Christina Cole plays Deputy Director Adele Ferrer, who has been won over by Rick, and Carmen Ejogo plays Fay Carson, Dorset’s ex, who also works for the CIA. And, Kurtwood Smith plays Director Higgins, who really dislikes it when the ODS succeeds.

In the episode, “Mincemeat,” Michael Badalucco returns as Fred Farmer. The other guest-stars for the episode are Tony Amendola as Mehrak, Alisen Down as Dr. Levine, Stephen Lobo as Rostam, Michael Benyaer as Sadegh, Mina E. Mina as Sajadi, Rick Overton as Operative Blanke, Matthew Harrison as Higgins’ Aide, Ahriman Padrad as a guard, and Anousha Alamian as the bodyguard. “Mincemeat” was written by Ed Zuckerman, and directed by Ron Underwood.

Chaos airs tonight (July 9) at 7:00pm CT/8:00pm ET on CBS.

If you like the show, get on Twitter and let CBS know that you want it to come back for a second season. It’s probably too late, but it doesn’t hurt to try! Tweet them @cbs and @chaos_CBS.

Hiya everyone!

And here are the two mentioning of tonight's episode. 'CHAOS' made it on the TV MSN 'Tonight's Picks' for Saturday list as well as the Canadian 'The Globe & Mail' list.

YAY! Wohoo!!!

Personally, I'm excited about this episode too since there was a Michael scene I read that I'm dying to see on screen. Hopefully they will have it. ;D

Four Shows To Watch This Weekend: Asteroids, Pinsent and More

CHAOS
Saturday, CBS, 8 p.m.

In a different time and place, and maybe on a different network, CHAOS coulda been a contender. Filmed in Vancouver, this black comedy about inept spy-guys will not reappear next season, but since it’s bought and paid for, CBS is burning off the existing episodes. The premise follows a gaggle of CIA agents banished to the division of Clandestine Homeland Administration and Oversight Services. Former Six Feet Under regular Freddy Rodriguez is the new guy, Rick, shipped to the unit as an in-house mole at the behest of CIA director H.J. Higgins, played by Kurtwood Smith. The agents, played by Eric Close, Tim Blake Nelson and others, are burnouts and schemers, all fretting about losing their jobs. In its favour, CHAOS sets its storylines in exotic locations, or at least convincing facsimiles on Vancouver soundstages. In the past few weeks the crew have been to Paris, Germany and the Balkans. Tonight they’re in some nondescript Middle Eastern locale on a haphazard mission to prevent a dictator from handing over power to his son. It’s darkly funny material, with a dash of real-world reality, and worth a look before it goes away forever.


Passionate Eye: Asteroids – The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Saturday, CBC News Network, 10 p.m.

Just when we were all enjoying a lovely summer, along comes another doomsday scenario to scare the hell out of us. Originally broadcast on the British science series Horizon, this documentary focuses on the inescapable truth that there are literally millions of asteroids floating around in space, and it’s only a matter of time before one plummets to Earth. As shown in the film, an asteroid did in fact hit our planet in 2008, but it had the good grace to land in the Nubian Desert. The program talks at length to scientists who have devoted their entire lives to the study of asteroids. One earnest tech excitedly claims they’re discovering 3,000 new ones every single night. As with most cautionary documentaries, the film deploys tremendous CGI technology to show viewers how and why asteroids are created; somehow the gravitational field of Jupiter is involved. While most of the scientists concur that a really big asteroid – 900 kilometres wide or larger – will eventually strike Earth, that day is presumably at least a century away, so go ahead and enjoy your weekend.


Gordon Pinsent: Still Rowdy After All These Years
Sunday, Bravo!, 8 p.m.

First aired last winter, this film was written, produced and directed by Barbara Doran, who wisely framed her profile around an interview with the grand old man himself. Pinsent, who turns 81 next Tuesday, is in typically fine fettle reflecting upon a life spent in acting. He talks touchingly about his childhood in Grand Falls, Nfld., and his stint in the Canadian army, after which he relocated to Winnipeg and doggedly built his acting career, one role at a time. Several prominent Canucks, including Paul Gross and CODCO’s Andy Jones, speak glowingly of Pinsent, as does his own actress daughter, Leah, but the truest telling of his life unfolds in the abundance of film and TV clips. Pinsent was perfectly cast as the angry young politician in the mid-sixties CBC series Quentin Durgens, M.P., and even more so in the seminal 1971 Canadian film The Rowdyman, which he also wrote. There are dozens of clips culled from different stages of Pinsent’s career, but the highlight is a scene from the much-lauded 2006 feature Away From Her, in which he delivered the performance of his life. He’s a national treasure, our Gordon.


Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew
Sunday, MuchMoreMusic, 9 p.m.

Alternately sad and compelling, this VH1 series is surely the guiltiest of all current TV pleasures. The show returned for its fifth season only last weekend but already the not-so rich and semi-famous addicts are bridling at the reality treatment, once again overseen by the eerily calm Dr. Drew Pinsky. As before, all are unhappy campers in the early stages. One day away from alcohol, nineties pop culture oddity Amy Fisher – you may know her as the “Long Island Lolita”– is snapping at the cameramen following her around the Pasadena Recovery Centre. Then she walks out. The unstable actress Bai Ling, also in for alcohol, refuses to take her medication and hides on the roof. Former baseball superstar Dwight Gooden shows up for treatment, and immediately tests positively for cocaine. The neediness of the participants inevitably comes out in the group sessions, as in this week’s show, in which the unbearable Michael Lohan – father of you-know-who – dominates the conversation by blaming his problems with alcohol on growing up with an alcoholic father. If you ever needed a reason to feel sorry for Lindsay, watch this show.

John Doyle will return.

Hiya everyone!

I really enjoyed this episode! Definitely much better than last week's episode since the guys got to shine in this epsiode! ;D

And the fact that it had some little info on Michael was just an added bonus... and can we say Dr. 'Marty Bear' in this? LOL!

I'm not kidding! ;D

Who would have thought that Michael studied pre-med for 2 years... before he decided to do something else? Either way, that came in handy since he pretty much perfected his 'role'!

Not only do you get to see him in a pair of sexy blue scrubs but also in a doctor's coat as he gets to wave a needle around! LOL!

And yes, Casey does excuse him of having a 'God Complex' when he voluntered to play pretend doctor and Billy be his 'nurse'.

Gotta love Blanke in this! LOL!

He keeps trying so damn hard only to mess things up in the end... but in this case, thankfully it worked out in the favor for the guys! ;D

And you know what else... I think I enjoy seeing the guys on screen more, including Blanke and Farmer than the girls... At least Adele did a slightly better job in this... but still, I miss Higgins!

Give me Higgins already! I miss his sarcasm and snarky response.

As for Fay... She continues to be pretty much uesless if you ask me. Adele at least serves a purpose, but Fay... nope, nothing.

Blanke and Farmer had a bigger role in this than she did if you can believe it.

*sighs* Man... I can't believe that next week is the final episode... Makes me depressed and sad all over!


Once again, CBS squandered this after fighting so hard to get the show in the first,

Oh, one more thing before I forget to mention it... CBS managed to find another sponsor for 'CHAOS'. Toshiba sponsored this episode for the night.

You know... For a show that's supposedly already has been cancelled, they are sure having very little problem if any in finding very good sponsors for it.



[glow=red,2,300]Episode 1.12 -

'Mincemeat'[/glow]

1. CHAOS - Weeks To Live

I had to laugh at the look on Michael's, Casey's and poor Rick's face when Adele admits to having briefly dated the playboy son Rotsdam.

That look was just plain priceless! LOL!



Clip Description:

Published on Jul 9, 2011 by CBS

After testing the urine of a Middle-Eastern dictator and learning he only has weeks to live, the team must ensure his playboy son goes into power.



2. CHAOS - Power Is Overrated

Whoa... If you don't have time to watch the full episode, then just watch this scene.

OMG! Eric looks so incredibly handsome and not mention sexy in this particular scene as his character and Billy meet up with the dictator.

The suit was just impeccable! No crazy ties... No hair out of place!

Just... perfect! Best shot of him as of to date! LOL!

Of course, that's because the dictator asks them to come join him at the pool and into the water to help him getting out of it...

I was like... NOOOOooo!!!

You are ruining his perfect suit!



Clip Description:

Published on Jul 9, 2011 by CBS

Adele calls upon her old acquaintance Rostam, the dictator's son, to cooperate with the CIA.



3. CHAOS - Prayer At Sea

Is it just me or is Billy the one always getting beaten to a bloody pulp? LOL!

Seems to be the case since Michael came off without much of a scratch on him unlike Billy.

And then we flash to Casey, Rick and Farmer prepping up their decoy... only to go 'Oh huh!' real quick! LOL!



Clip Description:

Published on Jul 9, 2011 by CBS

The team bury a decoy at sea.



4. CHAOS - Wine and Women Optional

You know... the pool scene is a bit farfetched to me. Having Billy recount of 2 past American presidents having some 'past time hobbies' was a bit farfetched to me while Michael comes off clueless?

Who happens to be a born and raised American? Mr. 'Paranoid & Need To Know Everything'. Gesh!

And Billy response to Michael's 'disbeblief'... was that he did some 'googling'. Really?

Yeah... That scene just didn't sit right with me. They could have handled it better if you ask me.



Clip Description:

Published on Jul 9, 2011 by CBS

Mehrak has doubts about whether he can reform the country if he goes into power.



5. CHAOS - Where Are You?

I had to giggle at Michael's stunned face and words "Did NOT see that coming" when the dictator shoots two of the soliders in the room with them.

And he's supposed to be a CIA Operative who has seen everything! LOL!

The phone call between Michael and Rick was hiliarious when he asks where he was and Rick told him that they were looking for a burgerjoint and then gave him a snappy response to that. LOL!

Oh man... There were so many good 'funny' scene in this! ;D



Clip Description:

Published on Jul 9, 2011 by CBS

Dorset and Billy need to get Rostam to Parliament before his brother Sadegh stops him.
