With the hospital already in trouble from its low rating as a teaching hospital, Seattle Grace literally crumbled right before all of the doctors and patients. A pipe burst, causing the hospital surgical floors to flood, and all the patients need to be evacuated to nearby hospitals. One patient who thought he had no luck on his side was crushed during the leak when the roof exploded right on top of his surgery table, but luckily for him it saved his life by detecting stage one cancer.

Although Daniel Radcliffe is often associated with Harry Potter, Radcliffe deserves to be free of the Harry Potter persona for at least another twenty weeks. His recent role as the star of Peter Schaffer’s masterpiece play, “Equus” has proven Radcliffe’s acting skills to be genuine, and will help him to step out of his previous roles.

The story depicts Alan Strang (Radcliffe), a deranged boy under the care of psychiatrist Dr. Martin Dysart, played by Richard Griffiths. Strang becomes one of Dysart’s patients after committing a crime the authorities cannot understand: he blinded six horses in the barn he worked at. Schaffer wrote the play based on this incident; however, all the details surrounding the crime are fictional. The only truth is that a troubled boy did in fact commit the crime.

In this week’s episode, Booth and Brennan find themselves in the Chesapeake Bay area, where the remains of a body have been found in Bay. Upon arrival the team realizes that this will be one of their more difficult cases. The body has been severed at the spine and only the upper half is present. As a result, gender cannot be properly determined until the other half of the body is found. This also means that a facial reconstruction will be postponed, making it harder to identify the victim. However a break in the case comes when Cam finds a breast implant with a serial number. Booth uses the serial number to trace it back to its owner, enabling them the find out the identity of their victim. They discover that their victim is Pastor Patricia Ludmuller from Mayor Island, Maryland. With this information Booth and Brennan now feel more confident in their ability to tackle this case, until they discover that Patricia cannot be traced back any further than five years.

Synopsis:

Dexter is going through a crisis, dealing with many tough dilemmas. His sister, Deb, is trying to find the drug-dealing killer Freebo, so Dexter needs to find him first. Also, Dexter has to deal with the shocking news that he may be a father. Dexter keeps having these random “dreams” that his future child will turn out just like him, a killer. Meanwhile, Miguel and Dexter find themselves tracking down the same killer, Freebo. Deb, on the other hand, has found a very useful lead, an informant named Anton (David Ramsey), hoping to find Freebo so she can receive her “shield” (a.k.a her promotion).

There are many types of genres in the world of music, but none may be as interesting as shock rock.

Shock rock is a subgenre to rock, where musicians combine their music with theatric shock value in their performances, pushing the modern limits of decency with their use of sex, violence and horror. Many modern artists use these shock values to enhance their performances, but the concept has been incorporated for around fifty years.

Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, arguably the first shock rocker, used to pull himself out of a coffin and sing into a skull once his song “I Put a Spell on You” hit it big in 1957. He also used macabre stage props, adding to his notoriety. In 1967 Jimi Hendrix performed a then-offensive and mortifying act of lighting his guitar on fire. At that time nobody had thought of doing that to instruments and the masses thought of it as insane.

Chuck Wicks: the next Tim McGraw or Jonny Cash? Probably not. Chuck Wicks is the newest addition to country music. Of course he discovered his talent in Nashville, TN after college- possibly a little too late in his life. He grew up in Smyrna, Delaware, where there are two or three radio stations that play country music without static as a backup singer. His hit song “Stealing Cinderella” is a beautiful song about a guy asking to marry the girl from her father. I think it is sung very well, but I’m having trouble getting over the fact that he is very unoriginal.
