Jericho Premieres February 12 at 10pm

You should watch Jericho.

You should watch Jericho because if you don't, I can't.

You should watch Jericho because it has hot chicks and cool guys and lots of gunfire.

You should watch Jericho because in between all the hot chicks, cool guys, and gunfire is a well-drawn, interesting plot with lots of heart.

You should watch Jericho because you wonder how long it will take for the brother to shave his ugly beard.

You should watch Jericho so that you know that if and when the world suffers a catastrophic event, hot but dumb blonde chicks will still get all the attention.

You should watch Jericho because the writers have written a smart woman who understands science, contributes to her community, and is extremely well-acted (see: Heather).

You should watch Jericho because Heather deserves some attention and you may be the only person who gives it to her.

You should watch Jericho because you are beginning to feel guilty about not getting me a birthday present (*This may not apply to all readers.) and are wondering if your callousness is bringing about a cold, cruel world....at the very least, you should Tivo or load on your computer and let it play on mute so that I can continue to watch a show I love.

You really should watch Jericho. And if you don't believe me, watch this.....1o0 Reasons to Watch Jericho.

Jericho returns. Tuesday, February 12 @ 10 pm PST on CBS.

A Blow Straight to the Heart

I've lived through my fair share of tragedy....my friend's tragic murder....a Category IV hurricane that killed many of my friends...major floods...over 100 first dates...all 2 hours of Carrie Ann v. Bruno...but nothing prepared me for this news:



The Golden Globes have been cancelled



I may pretend to be strong for the good of the children at work - but I'm not sure I can recover. The Writer's strike has, at last, accomplished a death blow since even my soap opera has degraded to such a level of unbearable that my ability to endure has been sorely tested. And now...now no globes. What will I mock come Sunday?! What controversy will amuse me?! How can I joke about making out with Kiefer Sutherland by a palm tree if there's no Kiefer in dapper dress to tempt me?!

OH! A fie on you and your kind, Writers Guild. A Big, nasty FIE!

Since the moment, I got the news, I've had My Fair Lady on the brain: "Words, words, words, I'm so sick of words. I get words all day through, from him, now from you! Is that all you blighters can do?!"

Grrr. Arrgh. Tivo me bored.

TV Review Weekly

For any of you with blog-readers, you'll know I attempted to post a blog review show last week, but the writing staff had creative differences, so the project has been tabled until an agreement is reached. Writers. So temperamental.


On a similar vein, original television is airing its last few episodes over the next few weeks (apart from USA who had already filmed its January season before the strike), so I've decided to dedicate today to the shows I let take me hostage so that I can better deal with the non-stop Biostatistics homework. Really, folks. All I do is math, math, and more math. Set up grids. Perform cross-calculations. Double-check with software. No one can begrudge me a little TV joy in this sad excuse for a daily routine.


3rd Rock (NBC)

5 reasons I love 3rd Rock:

1. Tina Fey is a rock star, if you consider irony music to your ears.

2. "I trusted you. You wear glasses," "Please respect celebrity privacy," and other such one-liners

3. Guest stars that rock the rock. Who will ever forget David Schwimmer as Green-go?!

4. The goofy-sweet guy has perfect comic timing and an awesomely empty look on his face that makes everything funnier - even the line, "Smoothe Move, Ex-Lax."

5. Whoever thought I'd laugh at a Baldwin for something not posted on a tabloid?!


Bottom Line: Tina Fey funny. Hee hee.


Amazing Race (CBS)

Goths. They are so cool. I must say that of all the "we just want to show people that [insert marginalized group here] are not what people think" groups - only the goths have achieved the end. Can't remember their names for all the 'y', 'r' and 'x' but those pink-and-black bedecked folks are my faves for this season. I'll watch as long as they're wandering around being absolutely lovely human beings.

Bottom line: If you're not a fan of humanity, this show's not for you.




Big Bang Theory (CBS)


*chortle, chortle* This show is proof that geeks are the new In-crowd. I love Sheldon - what is it about obsessive-compulsive disorder that is just so delightful?! He may give Tony Shaloub a run for his Emmy money in this year's "I shouldn't laugh but how could I not?" category.

Bottom line: Thumbs up to the socially inept!


Bionic Woman (NBC)

Every so often a really good idea comes around that gets thoroughly destroyed by Hollywood.

Bottom Line: Deserved better but just gets worse with every episode.


Chuck (NBC)

"Is this the part where I scream like a girl until someone rescues me?" -- Chuck

For me, it was love at the first Captain Awesome reference. Chuck learned the tango. Chuck drives a Prius. Chuck loves the snark. Chuck can't get promoted at the TV-land Best Buy equivalent. There is nothing about Chuck I don't love and give a high-five. I still don't bond with the main chick - I had high hopes she was being written out last week - but the rest of the cast is stellar. The show runs the risk of thinking itself a serious spy show, so, before it turns into the dreadful last few seasons of Alias - get yourself some Nerd Herd booty.

Bottom line: If you think geeks are just as cool as CIA agents OR that CIA agents are cooler than geeks, probably not your show. But if you think CIA agents are just another form of geek, then you've found your TV home.


Dancing With the Stars (ABC)

*yawn* Excuse me, I stopped watching after Sabrina left and the competition died. I heard there were more shows but only Helio was left as a contender....so I watched Chuck instead.

Bottom line: Sabrina got robbed. End story.


Desperate Housewives (ABC)

I may be done if they've killed off either Tom or Carlos. Kill off both - well, that would almost be as bad as killing off Lynnette's children, as implied in the cliffhanger. For leaving me with this horror, I declare a pox on all writers at the picket line. Please take this huge raspberry blown in your direction as a sign of my affection.

Bottom line: Someone give Felicity Huffman an Emmy so that her character can have some happiness.


Dirty Sexy Money (ABC):

Uhm. I don't know what to think of this show. I am enthralled by the morally inept twins, disturbed by Karen's machinations, and nervous about the evil priest but have no emotional reaction at all the the married senator sleeping with the transvestite. I made a decision to keep watching as long as the main character remains happily married. Since I deleted my Season Pass and now only watch online, my hope is not high that I will be a long-term viewer. In the meantime, I enjoy Jeremy and Juliet in the non-stop antics of the young and uber-wealthy.

Bottom Line: May be too soapy even for me.


ER:

This is on my TV after Tivo finishes recording The Office and My Name is Earl. I watch 10 minutes as I fall asleep - just long enough to figure out if Luka and Abby are still married and laugh at the ridiculously bad medical practice. It's a very pleasant way to watch ER. Don't know why I ever watched a whole episode.

Bottom line: Good for sweet yet adventurous dreams. Bad for preparing to become Board-certified in emergency medicine.


General Hospital (ABC)

ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!! How can we be back to NOTHING?! How could "they" follow-up the great Anthony Zacchara storyline and Emily's funeral with a return to NOTHING??!!! Oh when oh when will I get the courage to delete my Season Pass??!!

Bottom line: The perfect show for those who enjoy emotional stymie and/or torture.


Grey's Anatomy (ABC)

Even during my flirting heyday, I never had as cheap an affair as with this show. After 4 episodes, I just felt dirty. The thrill is gone, baby. If it ever was...

Bottom line: I don't have enough skin to keep trying to scrub off the lingering icky.


Heroes (NBC)

Apparently, intelligence and heroism are mutually exclusive. Who knew?! Well - apart from readers/viewers of the Superman comics/movies. But apart from those well-informed fans, the rest of us are only watching to see how strong the association may be.

Bottom line: Me so gullible. Me so confused. Me save world.


House (FOX)


Did anyone else notice the disappearance of the Mormon guy? Wow. Nice to know that TV audiences still can't handle my chosen group identity. I went to the boards once and there was more hate than a good lynching. Sad....sad, sad, sad. We're just people, people. That said, the writers had never heard a Mormon pray because the guy did the Hail Mary at one point. But - hey - I gave them BIG POINTS for trying.


Bottom line: Not open-minded but continues to fill the medical drama requirement.


How I Met Your Mother (CBS)


We've lost that loving feeling and are in the unknown relationship period where you hang on and wait to see if there's anything to save. I'm pretty sure I'm cheating on HIMYM with Big Bang Theory. I guess the name was just too scintillating for me to stay in a committed sitcom relationship. Oh, how my morality has fallen since I moved to LA....

Bottom line: Still funny. But maybe it needs to be someone else's funny.


Jericho (CBS):

Did CBS know that I was about to announce my impending boycott? Just when the screaming in my head reached a brand new level of intolerable, CBS announced that Jericho returns with 7 episodes in February.


Bottom line: If it's the only original programming in town, will CBS give Jericho a green light for regular TV fare? I've got crossed fingers. So crossed they're cramping.


LOST (ABC)

I am too fearful about the strike to even lament LOST. If it doesn't come back....if it doesn't....no, I just can't think that way. LOST will return. It must. My psyche depends on it.


Bottom line: Still the best, most creative thing on TV....come back....come back! (That's my Rose voice from Titanic)


My Name Is Earl (NBC)

Remember when The Fonze went to prison and got eaten by a shark? No. Well, if Earl had been Happy Days, the phrase would be "prison shark" not "jump the shark". I love the wackiness of the characters and the gentle fun poked at persons who think being on COPS or Jerry Springer is equivalent to true celebrity. Still, probably run its course.

Bottom line: Probably not going to go UP in the ratings game but still funny.


NCIS (CBS)

I love Abby - I'm totally digging on Emos and/or goths this year. The team interactions make for classic comedy. But the rest (aka plot) makes no sense.

Bottom line: Laugh at the antics. Watch CSI: for everything else.


Pushing Daisies (ABC)

*humming* So this is love, hmmm hmmm hmmm. So this is what makes life worthwhile. I'm all aglow, hmmm hmmm hmmm hm. *with realization dawning* Oh, sorry. I get all Disney-happy over this show. Lovely. Joyful. Sweet. Thought-provoking. Funny. Everything TV could always be if it just ate more pie. *humming*

Bottom Line: I have found TV heaven.


Samantha Who(ABC)

Gosh. I can't remember if I thought this was funny. I keep watching, though. Huh. And I love the idea that if you suddenly had everything wiped clean, you may care a lot less about living Sex & the City and a lot more about your family.

Bottom line: Amnesia may be contagious.

The Office (NBC)

I am giving them a standing ovation for portraying a realistic relationship. Jim & Pam date. Off-screen. They like each other but that's not what work is about, so we don't have to watch them date. So, the show stays funny and they stay together. So far, this show deserves its fan base. Oh - and Dwight is a comic masterpiece. Even his corny blog is funny.

Bottom line: Why is America watching Samantha Who when they could be laughing at their coworkers - or, at least, coworkers at Dunder-Mifflin?

Ugly Betty:

The only thing missing from this telenovela is an ending - and that's a mistake, I think. One of the great pieces of Spanish-speaking TV is that all shows have a programmed end point. Betty keeps pushing itself not to resolve, but everything about the show wants to move towards conclusion. Ugly Betty is lovely and it should continue to be lovely by being honest to the writing style and planning for an ending when the story is told.

Bottom line: Ay chihuahua. Betty needs a happy ending.


Well, that's enough for now. Took me a week to write this thing - so I really do watch too much TV. Now I get to go and take my finals!

And On to the next awards show...

Vote for the People's Choice Awards!

Monday of the New Season. (relief)

At the beginning of each season, I set my Tivo up with a Season Pass for every show I will consider watching this year. Now that my sister has a DVR and TV, we have the ability to watch or record 3 shows for any single time slot. Since the whole process takes up way too much brain power, I have nothing else to blog about that isn't 1) whiney, or 2) work-related (amidst all of yesterday, the IRB denied the study I've prepared for 4 months). So, I present to you - the Season Pass status for Fall 2007

Last week rollovers

Back To You: This show proved that talented people can make a gourmet meal with a pauper's provisions. The writing felt stolen from the Mary Tyler Moore Show. However, Grammer and Heaton pulled out a dramatic punch in the last 10 minutes that's worth watching for nothing more than the enjoyment of two great actors making art out of nothing at all. Second Chance Granted

'Til Death: It's been quite the philosophical conundrum leading up to my final decision about this show. I love Joely Fischer and I enjoy Brad Garrett (on TV - in real life, what a jack***.). However, the show was decidedly not funny and yet another entry in the "anti-marriage" propaganda category. See, there's a bit of advertising research that says single people spend more money on advertised products than married people. Those of us who believe that propaganda is everywhere have noticed that TV tends to make single life look VERY appealing and married life look like hell - this show was proof in the pudding. I considered allowing the Season Pass for one reason only: I want to support the use of normal-sized women on TV. Both lead actressed had very lovely, appropriate, and normal bodies. In the end, though, I realized that child advocacy had to trump feminism. Children from intact, stable, and happy nuclear families outperform other children on every measure from intelligence to confidence to earning potential (of course there are exceptions, so don't tell me you are one - but in the majority of persons, this fact is scientific gold). So, sorry, y'all. Any show depicting marriage as bad, evil, or miserable must be immediately Deleted.

Monday Night Premieres

Dancing with the Stars (ABC): Holy Hannah! Did y'all see Sabrina?! That girl rocked the Cha Cha! My reality TV guilty pleasure continues to please with its campy self-mockery. ABC is intent on a female winner this year - they have selected women who have long careers in music and dance while the men, apparently, have never tied their own shoes without tipping over. Who wouldn't love to see that?! Season Pass

Big Bang Theory (CBS): I wanted to hate this show for so many reasons. But I didn't. I laughed. I giggled through the sperm bank scene and smiled at the closing line, "Our babies will be both smart and beautiful." So, while I hope interaction with the uber-intelligent will inspire the female character to grow some brain cells, go to school, and value the need for logical expression, I will be watching for a while. Season Pass status Tentative

Chuck (NBC): I love that all state secrets are now translated into the language of imdb. Ability to understand and interpret obscure movie references is the key to this universe for many reasons, a fact that I enjoy and find self-adulatory by the industry that created the show. I adore the concept of this show but the execution still needs work. Chuck is wonderful - cute, funny, and fabulous. Sarah - well, apart from beautiful, I don't have much to say. Her most compelling scene involved her stunt double in a ninja costume. There were memorable lines, of course, including the now-infamous, "I'm working on my 5-year plan. I just need to choose a font." The ending was notably good - Chuck's "don't freak out" accurately summed up the 5 second last-minute reveal. Well done though overall not as wow as I'd hoped. Second Chance Granted

Heroes (NBC): Continues to impress. The scenes with Hiro were wonderful, especially the twist on a beloved Japanese legend (though I think most fans can see where this is going). Claire bugged for many reasons - in particular, the whining about being home after last season's whining about not being home. This girl can't be pleased, can she? I recently found out Little Miss Hayden is dating the actor who plays Peter and I'm not surprised. They had great chemistry - I'm rather sorry the characters are related. Season Pass

Journeyman (NBC): I was immediately hooked by the return of the house from Charmed. My dream house - so happy to see it. However, I was quickly disenchanted by the "my amazing wife is still not as good as the hot chick that got away mysteriously and so I will have to chase after her and hurt my wife/family" storyline - you can see 'Til Death summary for my feelings on the topic. So, I will leave to America to decide if Journeyman has more than infidelity to offer the American television landscape. Deleted

General Hospital (ABC): After I abandoned Journeyman, I decided to give General Hospital a go - and I was so pleasantly surprised! For as awful as Friday had been, Monday was its exact opposite! The characters had depth, life, interest, motivation! The Quartermaines made me laugh. The Cassadines and Jerry made me fear for Port Charles. Liz and Jason had a beautiful scene together involving an argument, and understanding, honesty, and a kiss! Robin remembered why she and Jason broke up, acknowledged that she wouldn't be with him now, and then she & Liz had a mature conversation about their chosen paths in life. The writers showed compassion, respect for character history, and a gift for storytelling. I loved the whole 40 minutes - keep this up, GH, and I may even think you don't need me. ;) However, I recognize this is likely the honeymoon period before you abuse me again, so my plan to wean myself out of the season pass continues. Season Pass status tentative

That's all for last night folks...up tonight...NCIS, House, Boston Legal.

Happy Deathiversary to Me!

It's the Deathiversary of my vanity. Last year, I went on the momentous date that resulted in the collapse of everything I had ever believed about myself. Yay me! So, I'm pouty, pissy, and pained. I've decided to take all of that out on General Hospital.

To the writers of General Hospital:

For that I dreamed all day?! For that I rushed home to my Tivo?! For that I felt hopeful?!

Here's a tip: One of the joys of having only marginally talented actors on board is that they can't sell a poorly written scene. So, if the actors can't act it - it means the scene needs rewritten. Yes, that's right - when your marginally talented actors are handed something that feels real to them, it shines; otherwise, it's a load of annoying crap on my TV. Every time. Because they're not Kelsey Grammar and Patricia Heaton who could sell lines about the romance of heaving paydirt (which they did, metaphorically, on their new sitcom - great actors, not much material). No, your actors can only portray complete honesty. So, it's easy to write well for them. You just have them run the lines. Write a scene. Have them run it. If it sucks, the scene is wrong. Start over. When you hit realism, when you get gold, then the scene will work.

I got an A in my college acting class not for my talent - I'm awful. However, the teacher couldn't fail someone who always knew how to get the best out of the rest. I was sought after during practice hours for one thing - I know human truth. My gift for understanding character - if I said it was good, it was good. If it felt unreal, it was unreal. And I have one thing to say, GH - the junk you make Burton and Herbst say and do - it's junk. They know what's real for their characters because they can only act truth - they're not good enough to make crap look attractive. Watch all the scenes you've given them together in the past 6 months - you'll see when they were given character truth. It shows.

Oh, and while I'm ranting after wasting 40 minutes of a crappy day on something that was supposed to make me happy - the "czar" of ABC daytime is wrong - it's not Jason who needs to change for Elizabeth - it's the other way. Liz lost herself years ago and she's only just realizing it. The birth of Jake has already changed Jason. Now it's Liz's turn. I think you're FOOLS to pass up a really great, compelling story full of human realism, harsh truth, and love - but that may be what you get when your entire staff of plot consultants and writers wish they were on 24! Don't get me wrong - I think 80% of last week was amazing and wonderful and I love what you're doing with the Zacchara and Corinthos war, Night Shift's plot with Lainey, Nicholas going violent, the amazing and wonderful return of the Quartermaines, Epiphany the goddess of the hospital, and even Robin choosing single motherhood - but passing by this really lovely story of human growth and failing just makes me scream. Literally.

And that's why you would really do well to hire me as a consultant, by the way. I won't promise to be nice...if I did, my real life assistant would feel quite annoyed at the special treatment I gave you. I have high standards. You'd really benefit. (sic - making fun of myself for being a crazy fan. And since I'm growing obsessed and it's ever-more obvious that GH is going to disappoint me once again, it's time I deleted the Season Pass - soon, the decision to stop watching GH is akin to a breakup with a dear friend you really want to love but just can't trust and so it takes time to ease into the idea of saying goodbye - and went back to regular TV. On that note, big article in the LA Times about *gasp* the idea that allowing people to watch online might be a way to diversify viewing. You're a bit late to the party, dear TV networks, but welcome to the Brave New World anyway. Al Gore has created the Internet and the we all went global. It's okay. Take a moment to breathe in the new millenium.)

As for the unfortunate readers, never say I didn't give you anything:

I told you. One bad perm and it'd be Cruel Summer all over again...

Stars are Popping out All Over

The tune to this post is a common children's song called, "Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree." For those who don't know the song, it'll just be silly rhyme.

So, in honor of the Emmys tonight, all the character actors and almost-celebrities that I have seen on tour about Hollywood over the past summer...*cue the orchestra*

I looked out the window and what did I see

Christopher Gorman out walking his dogs.



B-list celebrities around the fake palm trees



Fall had brought me such a nice surprise



Laura San Giacomo eating lunch.

B-list celebrities right before my eyes


If I could take a handful, I would make a treat


Unknown beauty queens in crowns at the job site.

A Jericho (Emmy shut-out!) episode that would SCORE - oh sweet!


It's not likely meant to be

The overweight, red-haired kid from several movies whose names I can't recall in order to discover HIS name, which I obviously can't recall. He was standing on some stairs, btw...which also does not help me remember a darn thing.



But it's still a sight to see

Not Will SMith - but his stunt double filming on the Boulevard.

B-list celebrities around the fake palm trees



Welcome Fall Season 2008 - may you bring some vicarious joy to the world of the lifeless (and everyone else who pretends not to watch).

The Moon Effect OR a Good Reason not to Mix Medications

By the time I washed my hair last night, I had hives behind both ears with the tingling pre-hive feeling at the crown of my head and base of the neck. The water and Benadryl worked magic but I was too stuffy to sleep, so I took some Nyquil. With that combo, I can't take my headache medicine, so I substituted Tylenol to pre-empt the headache. I'm fairly medicine-savvy, so I knew I was safe - just didn't realize that loopiness combined with lucid dreaming could be a silly combination.

I dreamed I was playing cards in Jason's penthouse from General Hospital. *Important side note: I have watched Jason's story on GH since my sophomore year in high school. If ever it were possible to feel friendship for a character, this would be my TV friend.* Spinelli (the resident computer geek on the show) and I were playing Go Fish. A knock sounded at the door. Jason opened the door and the beautiful blonde from Jericho entered. I rolled my eyes at Spinelli, who giggled, before I crossed to greet her.

She began immediately to enlist my help in convincing Skeeter Ullrich (Jake on Jericho) to choose her over Heather, the adorable but much plainer teacher on the show.

"What is this?" Jason asked.

I shrugged. In all honesty, I can only make that response in Dreamland. I have minimal control over the strange visions.

Emily continued her pitiful pleadings. Given that I have limited patience in real life, my dream persona tolerates only a small degree more stimulation.

"Yeah! Emily! Enough! I get it. Jake. He's hot. He's a leader. There are only 7 episodes left of the entire series. He'll have to choose. So, here's reality: You're gorgeous, blonde, and more than a little helpless. PLUS, your picture is splashed with his on every promotional poster. So, get over it. You'll win. For the record, I think Heather would have been a much better choice. She's smart, resourceful, self-sustaining, and has the moral backbone Jake occasionally lacks - meaning that Jake could be the leader he is while she guides him gently towards good decisions and takes care of herself and her family without dividing his attention from needful things. But she isn't gorgeous, blonde, and needy, so his ego is much less likely to respond to her. It's cool. You're nice, too. Just get over yourself a bit and don't worry. CBS will make all the easy choices and you'll rule the day."

I closed the door. Jason handed me my coat. We were off to the annual Pottery Barn garage sale, which is held in Silverlake, California, apparently.

Since my dream was awash of cancelled or near-cancelled TV shows, I was not surprised to see the garage sale staffed by the characters from Gilmore Girls. I bought nitschy items from each now-lost familiar face, including a lovely squash sculpture from the funny farmer, Jackson.

Characters from GH wandered and I did my best to avoid them since the high drama really ruined my happy. However, Jason wanted to see his son, so I couldn't avoid Elizabeth and her eternally pouty husband, Lucky. Then the shrill and harping Robin joined the group to flirt with Jason and lecture Elizabeth on proper parenting. I played with the baby until I could stand the dialogue no longer.

"Oh bleh! You know what the problem is with General Hospital right now? No female writers! How can you expect to write romantic entanglement without a single well-written female character? The women are either shrill or milquetoast. The men wander from bed to bed and gunfight to gunfight while whining that the women "just don't understand" and so they "have to" cheat. We're supposed to accept this male fantasy imposed on a time-honored romantic tradition such as daytime TV?!"

I turned to leave but got grabbed and kissed by Cooper, an attractive cop on the show. He pulled his gun and went chasing after one of the mob goons.

"See!" I shouted. "Not romantic, Coop! Could someone please hire a woman at ABC?"

The scene changed. Jason, Jake and I were sneaking around a truck stop. I stopped for a minute as the two conferred about the best way to rig a big rig.

"Why, again, are we stealing a semi truck?" I asked.

Jason glanced up to shush me. "To get all your purchases back to the house."

I grimaced. "But why steal a truck? Either you or I could afford a U-Haul. We're never going to make it out of town in a stolen semi."

Both men rubbed the backs of their necks in frustration. My dreamscape was interrupted by noise in the real-world bedroom. I opened my eyes to see Diva standing at my bedside, ready for a snuggle and early (way too early) morning conversation about her own very interesting dreams.

Early Christmas Present to Me!

A little thing happened on the way home last Friday....

Twas the Night Before Friday and all through the station, not a murmur was heard not a single invocation.

The train was awaiting for its passengers with care; in the hopes that no ticket-skippers to board would dare.

The medical director sat next to the poor, heartbroken sap and both had settled down for a small train ride nap.

When out on the platform, there arounse such a clatter, we jumped to our feet to see what was the matter.

When what to our wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature Agent and 8 terrorists so austere.

The agent brandished a gun! All those terrorists to stop! Then the director called cut and it all was fast done.

In excitement, in fervor, I gave a great shout as the Agent dropped his weapon in fine dramatic pout.

As we wolf-called and pandered and called out famous names, others yelled about action or boredom and political games.

Then laying a finger on top of his lips, the director ordered silence! with his hands on his hips.

The terrorists hit the ground as the filming resumes. But we missed teh rest as onward the evening train zoomed.

Yet I heard the Agent proclain as we puffed out of sight, "My show may be cancelled but it put up a good fight!"

All hail the countdown to new TV....

A Lesser Person Might Be Embarrassed...

to be 30years old and crying (just a little, I promise) after watching this video of her favorite star-crossed (and per fan reaction to the idea) and unlikely General Hospital couple....



Liason - I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You

*sniffle*

Goodbye to MyFuture Self

I don't really have words for it yet...but Gilmore Girls is gone. The TV is just a little less friendly now that my personal icon, the beloved Lorelai, will greet me no more...though Lianne would say this is yet another omen of the changing brewing in my life.

Goodbye, Lorelai. You raised Rory well and almost raised yourself. It was a fantastic run.
