FlashPoint

Flashpoint: This Song is amazing! Now let me narrow "Amazing" down, Amazing Actors, Amazing Storyline, Amazing Filming, Amazing Sets, Amazing Everything.

Well that doesn't really narrow it down....
Filmed in Toronto, Flashpoint is a show about a "Swat" team. It shows that a swat job isn't just guns and "Put yours hands up." It also involves other elements, like negotiation.

One thing I have to admit I like about this show is that it doesn't just show the teams point of view, it also shows the other persons point of view.

Here's an Example;
In an episode in season 2, a teenage boy named Billy, is bullied horribly, he just gets so upset when a couple of kids decide to beat him up and put it on youtube. So, he runs home grabs a gun, and.....
I like how the show just shows you what drives the people to do what they do, and that they are just regular people and aren't necessary evil!

The actors, are very well chosen, we don't have bad actors like "Hannah Montana," we have actors who actually have TALENT!
Here is a list of the cast:

	Hugh Dillon	...	Ed Lane (41 episodes, 2008-2010)
	Amy Jo Johnson	...	Jules Callaghan / ... (41 episodes, 2008-2010)
	David Paetkau	...	Sam Braddock (41 episodes, 2008-2010)
	Enrico Colantoni	...	Sgt. Gregory Parker / ... (41 episodes, 2008-2010)
	Sergio Di Zio	...	Mike Scarlatti / ... (41 episodes, 2008-2010)
	Michael Cram	...	Kevin Wordsworth / ... (41 episodes, 2008-2010)

(IMDB)

The show can be caught on CBS and CTV. But what do other people think of the show? Turning back to the IMDB as a source we tracked down a review written by a IMDB user:
Perps are people too., 20 July 2008

Author: Jack from 89118

Wow, a cop show without perps. A TV drama with guns and not 'necessary' evil. Moral, caring cops with emotional consequences. Explosions, when all else fails.

I like 'The Unit' (also on CBS) when it addresses the egregious use of force needed to defend against force and the guilt that comes from fighting evil with evil actions. They have their moments of destruction far from home and leave the guilt for later (when they are home). Flashpoint takes place down the street. In your office building or mall. The consequences of action or inaction are to be replayed in their mind, home, community and above all on TV. And despite the preparations our heroes take, it just doesn't assuage the situations that go tits up.

This show is grounded in moral motives that will pierce the heart of it's viewers. Let the Rambo's have their shows, and let us tread the thin, ever moving and twisting thin blue line of Flashpoint. In the show's own words, "We're not here to target practice, we're here to save lives".

If this sounds up your allay check it out!

SpotLight: Vampire Diaries

We haven't done a SPOTLIGHT in such a long time. Well today in this SPOTLIGHT we will be talking about a new show that's gaining popularity every minutes: The Vampire diaries. The Three main Characters are (from left to right) Stefan, Alena, and Damon, Stefan and Damon are two brothers who are vampires. They both fall in love with Alena. Damon is the one who acts like he's supposed to going around killing people for food. While Stefan is an Edward type who feeds off animal blood. They both fall in love with Alena who looks exactly like the one who they loved named Katrine.

Katrine is the reason they are who they are. Katrine was a vampire. Here in this world Vampires don't get made by being bitten. They have to have their blood sucked by a vampire and then drink a vampires blood than die. . In this world too vampires are immortal and have the ability to control human minds, with the speed and strength included too.
Katrine is not dead though. She is trapped in a magical tomb below the remains of a church. Later on in the series Alena discovers that Stefan and Damon are brothers. The season ends off with Alena being attacked by a vampire.
The way a vampire can be killed is to be stabbed by a wooden stick. Also the season includes the story of Alena's Brother Jeremy who fell in love with a girl named Viki. Viki was turned (made into a vampire) By Damon and later killed by Stefan.

In the Spotlight: Cool Shows

When, we are not looking for News we eat, and sleep, BUT we also watch T.V. We are going to tell you some of our Favorite Shows, In our very first Episode of SPOTLIGHT!
Our first Show is Monk!
The Show stars Adrian Monk who is a detective, He is compulsive which means he has to have everything just right, For example: If he sees a piece of dirt on the wall, he will clean it up immediately, But, Adrian is Brilliant solving crimes easily. The Shows shows humor, and has little violence. Also, the actors are brilliant and the show gets into the pain of Adriane's lose for his beloved wife Trudy.
I would say this is a comedy. Rated PG

Our Next Show is called Lie to Me!
It's about a company that solves mysteries. (Really Hard Ones) That even the F.B.I. can't solve. Instead of looking for clues, they look for clues on people faces. So, they can tell what someone's emotions are and if they are telling lies. Using Science and how their muscles move without them knowing. This show is more serious unlike Lie to Me and has more Gorey references, (Doesn't show it, really just talks about it)
It's a show that will keep you at your feet, the story twists all the time so, you'll never get bored. Rated 14A for language

Our next show is THE UNIT
The unit, is about special agents that not even the Police know about, The show shows some combat and saving lives, It also has lots of shooting and blood, more recommend for 11 over. They also go undercover to capture huge criminals and drug dealers. It's more of an action show, They go into different countries, sometimes if their is a leak in the unit, people will go to high lengths (terrorists , sleepers etc.) to try to get ride of some of The Units members because they shut them down. In one episode a group shut down all of the towns water and replaced it with poisonous gas to try to kill a member of the unit. (So, gas was coming out of sinks and sprinklers)
Rated 8+

Sue Thomas F.B.Eye is about F.B.I. agents solving mysteries, one of the members is deaf so she reads lips, It's a good show with not any violence, and is mainly about shutting down major drug dealers, the show also stars Levi, the super cute dog which is Sue's Hearing Dog!
Rated 8+

Hope you enjoyed this episode of SpotLight!
This is Neko and Teko reporting from the Big Screen TV located in Future Shop!
