Download House: Adverse Events for Free
HOUSE’s Season Episode 3, “Adverse Events” airing Tuesday, Sept. 30 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
Last week’s House episode “Not Cancer” introduced to Michael Weston who plays Lucas, a detective hired by House to do all the snooping he wants. He is back again in this week’s episode “Adverse Events”. I like the character a lot and I hope that they will give him a longer story arc so that we can see more of that interaction.
You can see more photos from House “Adverse Events” below.
Episode Synopsis: “Adverse Events” - House and the team take on the case of a struggling artist (guest star Breckin Meyer) who has been painting bizarre portraits. His undiagnosed illness is distorting his perception, threatening to undermine his career, his relationships and everything else in his life. The team soon finds out that he hasn’t sold anything lately and is on three separate drug trials to pay the bills. House must unlock the puzzle of which drugs are causing which symptoms before it’s too late. Meanwhile, House continues to have private investigator Lucas Douglas (guest star Michael Weston) dig up dirt on everyone on his team, including Taub who is having trouble in his marriage.

Tomorrow night Heroes rolls on with its third episode of season 3, and despite the fact that our own Adam Sweeney gave the first two episodes relatively high marks, I am not feeling the direction of this season. They opened with too many complicated story-lines and too many forced twists. Then again, they are making up for a relatively lackluster second season in the eyes of fans.
But lets put all of that aside for a moment, as this is about showing you some new promo photos for tomorrow night’s episode, entitled “One of Us, One of Them.” And despite the almost criminal lack of Kristen Bell in these photos, it appears as if the direction of the “Villains” chapter may come into focus a little bit better in episode 3. Look for a bigger presence from Brea Grant as Daphne, the speedy nemesis of Hiro (Masi Oka) and Ando (James Kyson Lee). As well, it will be interesting to see what happens when Sylar is teamed up with HRG, a situation that could produce this series’ odd couple. Another interesting observation — we see the return of Micah (Noah Grey-Cabey), who was not seen in the first two episodes. Could this also mean the “official” return of Niki Sanders (Ali Larter)?
Have a look at the photos for yourself below.
What do you think of Heroes season 3 thus far?

Download Brothers & Sisters: Glass House for Free
It’s been a long, lonely summer without the Walker clan, but tonight the gang is finally back. When we last left everyone’s favorite dysfunctional family, Kevin and Scotty got married, Saul came out of the closet, Kitty and Robert decided to look into adopting, and it was revealed that William fathered an illegitimate son named Ryan. Also, in the most divisive storyline of all time, Justin and Rebecca decided to act on their feelings for one another now that 
they’re officially not related. Is it sexy and romantic or contrived and gross? You be the judge.
On tonight’s season 3 premiere of Brothers & Sisters, Justin and Rebecca attempt to keep their relationship a secret, and Kevin faces a serious threat to his career.
The episode begins with Kitty poring over the recommendation letter that Sarah wrote for her to help with the adoption, though she’s not aware that the overly effusive testimonial was actually written by Nora. While Kitty (Calista Flockhart) stresses over that business, Tommy and Holly are plotting to fire Kevin and hire a new lawyer for Ojai. It’s nothing personal, of course, but Sarah is against it anyway. Meanwhile, Kevin’s boss, who just happens to be played by the awesome Mitch Pileggi, gives him the keys to his fancy beach house. People who become partners at the firm are usually the only ones allowed to visit the place, so things are looking up for Kevin.
Nora would love to forget about the Ryan Walker scandal, but Kevin (Matthew Rhys) is still looking into it. He gets some info on the whereabouts of the illegitimate little brother, including a phone number, but I’m not expecting to see the mystery sibling anytime soon. It’s too early in the season for that shocker. While Kevin and Sarah tell Nora that Ryan may be in Bakersfield, Kitty walks in and overhears something about another Walker. To hide the truth from her, Kevin is forced to invite the entire family to the vacation home. So much for a romantic weekend.
I never tire of confrontations between Nora and Holly (Patricia Wettig). Nora heads to Ojai to chew out her rival for planning to fire Kevin, but Holly tells her that she has no right to interfere in business decisions. Holly’s bitchitude actually gets Nora to back off, which is fairly amazing.
While Rebecca (Emily VanCamp) babysits Paige and Cooper, Justin stops by to further the romance everyone loves to hate. They want to keep things secret, but of course the kids catch them making out. Good job, you guys. 
Kevin and Scotty are the first to arrive at the Laguna house, but the rest of the clan shows up soon enough. Sarah (Rachel Griffiths) is still pissed at Tommy for planning to fire Kevin, and it’s even more awkward since Kevin is still oblivious to the news. Speaking of awkward, Paige and Cooper threaten to expose Justin and Rebecca if they’re not allowed to get high on soda and watch whatever they want on TV. They’re little Gossip Girl kids in the making.
When Nora confronts Tommy (Balthazar Getty) about the Kevin situation, he explains that the whole thing was his idea, not Holly’s. They simply can’t afford Kevin, and it doesn’t matter if he’s a relative or not. Meanwhile, Kitty has figured out that Sarah didn’t write her recommendation letter. Sarah tries to explain that she’s been stressed, and eventually breaks down and spills the beans about Ryan.
As if Kevin isn’t having enough problems, things go south when Paige and Cooper break an expensive glass statue. Justin (Dave Annable) takes the blame for it, not out of the kindness of his heart, but to keep his scandalous secret safe. While cleaning up the mess, all the Walker family secrets come out. Kitty blurts out the news about Ryan, Justin decides to admit that he’s dating Rebecca while everyone is distracted, and Sarah tells Kevin that he’s being fired. This vacation just went from awesome to horrifying in under five minutes.
Later that night, Tommy tries to explain his reasoning to his brother, but Kevin knows that William would have wanted him involved in the business. He won’t be forgiving Tommy anytime soon, and Rebecca won’t be forgiving Justin for revealing their relationship to the entire family. Sarah also doesn’t have any luck apologizing to Kitty, which means that everyone will be going to bed miserable tonight.
Justin visits Rebecca at her new apartment the next day to attempt to apologize once again. She’s worried that the Walkers will disown her due to the relationship, but it’s a risk she’s willing to take. Meanwhile, Kitty rants to Robert about her issues with Sarah, which mainly stem from the fact that Sarah thinks her sister’s life is all sunshine and kittens. Well, she IS dating a rich senator that looks like Rob Lowe, so I think things could be worse.
Mitch Pileggi is not pleased when Kevin tells him about the damage to his house, nor is he thrilled that they’ve lost the Ojai account. However, he manages to stay fairly calm about the news, which is not what I expect from the former Walter Skinner. Over at Ojai, Nora (Sally Field) shows up to start round two with Holly. In the ultimate bitch move, Nora throws the Ryan news in Holly’s face. Burn!
Sarah arrives at Kitty’s to give her a real recommendation letter, but it’s too late to submit it. Sarah wants to make things right with her sister, but Kitty is convinced they still have a problem trusting each other. In case this episode isn’t depressing enough, it comes to an end with a montage set to “Everybody Hurts.” Can’t those Walkers learn to get along?

Boston Legal
: Guardians and Gatekeepers - A close call for Denny involving prescription drugs inspires Alan to go after a pharmaceutical company for its unscrupulous advertising tactics. Meanwhile, Carl defends Shirley’s 17-year-old granddaughter after she’s caught voting illegally, and Jerry and Katie help a girl who was sexually assaulted in a private detention facility. Monday 10:00 et/9:00 ct on ABC.
Katie and Jerry are helping a client, Jeffrey Addario, whose 15-yo daughter Lauren was arrested and convicted for cocaine possession after her mother died. They had the choice of a juvenile detention facility or a private Pennsylvania facility that offered drug counseling, and chose the latter. Jeffrey says that he doesn’t think she was an addict, but that cocaine possession at age 15 isn’t an encouraging sign. Well if that doesn’t scream upper-middle-class-parent-in-denial, I don’t know what does. But it’s sad nonetheless, so we’ll move on.
Jeffrey is meeting with Katie and Jerry because his daughter was allegedly raped by a guard at the facility. And for some reason that I can’t fathom, they seem to be trying to make a case on whether the guards are held up to the promise that they were trained in juvie justice or child psychology—as if that mattered one way or the other if she was raped. Eyeroll. whatEVer.
Jerry and Katie counsel Jeffrey on the odds of winning, and he agrees to consult with his daughter on whether they should settle (for a pittance, in legal terms) or go to trial. And I know you’ll be shocked to learn they decide to go to trial. (Because one or more scenes of Katie and Jerry negotiating a settlement in a CP&S boardroom holds so much drama!) Jerry maintains that the fight will be tough against this particular opposing counsel, but Katie presses on for the win.
Of course, there’s a catch: Opposing counsel is our good friend Melvin Palmer, and he brings to light during the trial that Lauren was having some nookie (i.e., kissing) with the guard in her cell—and while Lauren concedes that she never consented to be raped, she can’t deny that she had a relationship with this guard beyond the usual guard/prisoner thang.

Check out some pictures from BONES‘ Season 4 Episode 6 episode, “The Crank in the Shaft” airing this Wednesday, Oct. 1 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
This Bones episode promises to bring back the Hodgela (Hodgins/Angela) Debacle back in the show. Previous episodes had given me some hope that the writers would just let that storyline die by itself but I guess I was wrong. What are they going to come up with now?
You can see more photos from Bones “The Crank in the Shaft” below.
Episode Synopsis: “The Crank in the Shaft” - When the remains of a much-disliked company office manager are found in a building elevator shaft, Booth and Brennan must find out which one of the employees had reason to murder the victim. From a recently fired employee to the victim’s own boss, the team realizes this office manager had more than their share of complaints to file. Meanwhile, Brennan’s bleak and morbidly realistic grad student lends his insight to the case, and Hodgins and Angela try to navigate their post break-up relationship

Next On: Today at 8:00pm EDT - KTVT
Synopsis: After seeing Penny with a handsome new guy, Leonard rushes into a rebound relationship with Sheldon’s nemesis, Leslie Winkle.
Cast: Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Sara Gilbert, Travis Schuldt
Credits: Chuck Lorre - Executive-Producer, Scriptwriter, Bill Prady - Executive-Producer, Scriptwriter, Lee Aronsohn - Scriptwriter, Director
Director: Alex Kendrick
Stars: Kirk Cameron, Erin Bethea
Studio: Samuel Goldwyn Films
The Plot: A firefighter (Cameron) and his wife (Bethea) begin a 40-day experiment known as “The Love Dare” in an attempt to save their marriage.
THE BUZZ: While we all snicker at the notion that Kirk Cameron won’t kiss anyone but his wife, Fireproof has quietly because one of the must-see movies of a busy fall weekend. Don’t be surprised if Cameron’s faith leads to a Top 10 debut come Monday morning.
Director: Vince Di Meglio
Stars: Dax Shepard, Liv Tyler, Diane Keaton
Studio: Variance Films
The Plot: After he’s fired from his job, an everyday guy (Shepard) faces pressure from his wife (Tyler) to have a baby and from his mom (Keaton), who has decided to move in with the young couple after leaving her husband.
THE BUZZ: Vince Di Meglio found moderate success last year as the co-writer of License to Wed, which he penned with Tim Rasmussen, who is the co-writer/producer of Smother. Di Meglio also slides into the director’s chair here, but the buzz is quiet for this comedy, so you might not hear much about it until its DVD release. Cool-looking poster, though — not bad for the first big release from Variance Films, which is employing a more targeted release strategy for indie movies. Here’s an interesting, brief article on the fledgling studio.
