Kyle XY – Season 2, Episode 1 – The Prophet – 6/11/07

If you haven’t seen Episode 1 of Season 2, here there be spoilers!

Recap:

Kyle spends time with his “creator,” Adam Baylin. Adam explains that Kyle was created in a lab, called Zzyzx, as an experiment. Adam gestated inside his mother’s womb longer than the nine months in which most babies develop. A side effect of this longer gestation period is higher intelligence and special abilities. Adam decided it would be a good idea to see what would happen if a developing human were allowed to gestate for a really long time. Kyle finds out that he had been gestating up until the point he was found in the woods in the first episode. This explains why he doesn’t remember anything before this point and why he was covered in goo. He was also kept in a very large test tube, which is why he doesn’t have a belly-button and why he only feels comfortable enough to sleep in a bathtub. Adam shows Kyle an example of his special abilities by moving a glass of water without touching it. Adam is in hiding from Madacorp and Zzyzx after a falling out with the others involved in the project. Read the rest of this entry »

Even though summer TV viewing options are lighter during the summer months, there are still a few pretty good shows to watch. One of those shows is Kyle XY . The basic concept of the show is that a teenaged boy (Matt Dallas), without a belly-button, wakes up in the woods outside of Seattle, Washington, naked, with no idea of who he is or from where he came. He’s taken in by a psychiatrist, Nicole Trager (Marguerite MacIntyre), and he becomes part of her family. And although in some ways Kyle is like a newborn child, in other ways he has remarkable talents most people don’t learn in a lifetime – the ability to read lips, uncanny mathematical ability, etc. Essentially, the first season is spent in the mystery of Kyle – slowly discovering things about him. We find out that Kyle has absolutely no memories of being a child. Kyle doesn’t sleep for several days when he first moves in with the Tragers, and doesn’t seem to have any ill effects from the lack of sleep. He finally has his first night of sleep when he discovers he feels at home sleeping in the bathtub. Kyle can also draw exactly what he sees in a pixel-like, pointillism method of drawing. The first season ends when a couple claiming to be Kyle’s parents picks him up and takes him “home.” As the second season begins, unlike other popular shows, we begin to get real answers to the question, “Who is Kyle XY?” Read the rest of this entry »

TV Shows on DVD is reporting that Friday Night Light’s first season debuts on DVD Aug. 26th.

Interestingly, they have a scan of a solicitation ad taken out by NBC/Universal for the set and it lists the MSRP at $29.95. 

Now, Friday Night Lights ran 22 episodes in its first season.  It won a loyal audience, critical acclaim and hopefully will pick up some Emmy nods. It also got a second season that NBC will be pushing around the time the DVDs come out.

I can’t help but wonder if the low MSRP is to give those viewers who’ve heard good things about the show the ability to sample it for a low price.  

As a huge fan of this show, I hope it’s true and that it works…
