Regarding Kings: Wow, Eragon's all grown up and looks so much like Heather Ledger did in First Knight that I was distracted and couldn't remember he *wasn't* HL. Also? Eragon and Said? Hot like WHOA. Carter Baizon's expression in his final shot looked so much like an expression my stalker used to have when he was pissed off [when *wasn't* he pissed off?] that I dreamed about the stalker last night.

Verdict: unsure

Regarding Dollhouse: Still enjoying despite the fact that I feel a major disconnect with everyone in the Dollhouse except the Dolls, Dr. Saunders, and Boyd. Still ecstatic Tahmoh is on the show [could anyone give me a phonetic spelling of how to say his name?]

Verdict: being entertained

Regarding The Sarah Connor Chronicles: I used to talk all about how BSG was the greatest show on TV. Then I talked all about how FNL was the greatest show on TV. NOW I'm all about how SCC is the greatest SCI-FI show on TV [sorry, my loyalty to FNL is too strong]. HOLY SHIT SCC is AMAZING. The acting, writing, directing, filming, it's PHENOMENAL.

Verdict: Favorite Fucking Show

Regarding BSG: I'm like, 2 episodes behind and don't give a frak about any of it.

Verdict: Will watch to the boring bitter end.

Regarding Gossip Girl: The *only* reason I watch the damn show anymore is because of Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick. LM's performance this week was pitch perfect. She has more charisma in one flick of her eyelash than any other young actress on a teen show right now. <-- see how I oh-so-or-not-cleverly couched that? Ed's not so nuanced, he's big and explosive and in your face much like JM was as Spike.

Verdict: Will watch till the end of the season and probably not beyond that

Regarding FNL: ::draws hearts and prays and begs and hopes and crosses fingers that the rumor about it being picked up for TWO MORE seasons is true::

The Reverend was, in fact, the best part of the whole thing for me. The actor is amazing (I am having a day with names so I forget his, pretty much the only names I remember are David and Jackathan, but they're easy and, well, I knew them already *g*) and I like the fact that he manages to make what should be a religious utterance into a moral one. That reassures me greatly (Jewish stories do not, historically, do well (not necessarily in a rating's sense) on tv. Mostly because they're written by Christians who don't understand what they're actually about. Ten Commandments of Horror I am looking at your antisemitic awfulness.) Plus, he's wry and witty and awesome. Very awesome.

I want more of him, please.

I've really enjoyed Dollhouse. I think you and I are in a minority about that, and as much as I'm anticipating the change it's mostly because Joss is good with that, not because I think things actually need to be changed (although the story is clearly gearing up for one; am totally okay with that).

And yes if it rattles less now, there was surely something wrong initially.

Yeah. I mean, it lasted a year and a half so it wasn't broken and my fat ass did still break it, but it was less my fault and more a stressor that would've happened to someone not fat, too. That makes me feel better :)

LC is always random. Also, there are way too many LC's in my life. Mostly because there are at least three acronyms at work that are LC and it's confusing!

Yes, it was his moral message that got me as well. I loved how the queen was all, I hope he doesn't talk about god, it's out of style. Out of style, god may be, but being moral will never be tout of style.

Yes, you and I are on the minority of that, sometimes I think people do not watch tv to be entertained but for some other more ephemeral reason I will never understand. I don't think it needs to CHANGE but I'm eager for the plot twist all the same.

When I broke my brand spanking new chair at work I was mortified. MORTIFIED. I sat down and scooted to the side and the fucking wheel fell off. Things are not being made as well as they used to be anymore. I see product failure in everything, especially things that *shouldn't* like staples and paperclips!
