Is there anything as creepy as a doll??? I don't think so. Really. Think of something really freaky. Ten bucks its a clown or a doll. Even though I was an avid doll fan (I had Baby Alive, and I was just amazed by the fact that she wet herself. I was an easy to please child...) when I was little, I kind of shrieked a little when I first saw the commercial for this episode.
Basically, there's a dead guy, who is a little bit too into his job as a doll "doctor". Like he makes his assistant/secretary dress up like a nurse.
(I'd just like to applaud CSI right here for not turning this into a bondage/fantasy/something else weird substory like I would have expected. Frankly, I was surprised. And a little relieved.)
Anyway, I'm confused because I'm trying to figure out how this guy died. He's obviously dead, but the only thing I can see is that his finger is cut. Which, I guess when you cut the radial artery in the finger, that'll do it. But it took me awhile to figure out. But the main thing is that Dead Guy is clutching a doll in his hand. I'm still confused about this- it seems like the scientific analysis is that it was a post-mortem muscle spasm, but then everybody was talking about how he was just holding on tight.
Oh, and I'd just like to beg the writers to give Mac something better to say before the song. "Something about this little doll was worth dying for"???? Come on. That doesn't really even mean anything. If it were a real crime scene, they'd assume that Dead Guy was using the little doll to beat off the attacker with. Sheesh.
But we're not done with the doll- oh no. After tearing her apart to make sure she wasn't a drug mule (because six-year-old girls traffic in coke a whole lot) Lindsay in her infinate country-girl wisdom finds out that Sophie has a secret. And, being CSI, you know it's gonna be sordid.
And it is.
We know this, because they keep replaying it, over and over and over again. It's like the writers got pissed off at censors and were like, "This is the only sex thing you'll let us have? Okay, we're going to put it in here like twenty times for absolutely no reason!!!!" So Mac and Lindsay listen to this thing, and then Mac goes, "It sounds like she found someone in a compromising position."
No way. What would we do without him? See, this is why he has the corner office.
So they trace the doll back to a woman who looks like Amy Poehler, and her adorable and yet slightly creepy daughter. Whom Lindsay almost beat up when she refused to tell her what the message that the doll help meant.
Anyhoodles, they wrap this up pretty well with Amy Poehler sleeping with a student, and all the adult CSIs look righeously outraged, even Lindsay who looks like she graduated from high school last spring.
The other story line was pretty boring. Stella and Hawkes were investigating the death of a young woman with cancer who was being poisoned. Talk about your bad day, huh??? Turns out the neighbor killed her so he could get his hands on her apartment and build a nursery. Yeah, that totally makes sense. I really want a car, so I think I'm going to kill the next person who drives down my road and take it. Really, they need some new motives on this show....
Next weeks it new, so we're thrilled to death about that. Look for another Olympic thing later tonight or tomorrow- I want to do a figure skating thing. If you want to know who won, check out NBC's Olympic site. Total spoilers, though. Be warned.

Live Blogging the Evening's Viewing
The only chair that isn't taken is the one by the computor. And I'm bored. Thus, ridiculously long post. Deal with it. Tonight is pretty much American Idol, I think. It's the guys, who always think that rock or country is a good way to go. I want pop, damnnit. No Olympic drama tonight- the carnage that is ice dancing is completely over, and Chad Hendricks and Shauni Davis aren't around to bitch-slap each other anymore, so it's barely worth it, right?? Anyhoodles, I'm bored, so here goes...
7:39- Oh, the evening is off to a bad start. A boy who is way too pretty and way too young is doing a Jackson 5 song. Why do peole insist upon loving that molestor???
7:40- Randy just told him he was perfect, and that he loves him, which is pretty much how he has responded to everybody this season. I think he failed gastic bypass has helped him become more loving.
7:42- Simon needs to realize that he has man boobs. And dress accordingly.
7:44- Ha! Somebody doing Cher. Hehehe
7:50- HAHAHAHAHA- the monkey commercial with the laser pointers!!! That kills me!!!!!
(nine billion years later)
7:57- What do you know. Still country.
8:01- GAH!!!!!!!!!! Switched over to Lost and found a bloody Jack in a suit!!! Going to go pour cold water on my head. They're replaying the pilot, the five people in this country who steadfastly refuse to watch it should go get acquainted with it- NOW!!!!
8:02- I'm freakin' serious.
8:05- Jack just jumped on top of Claire to protect her from a random blast. We now hate Claire.
8:08-Imladris just said that this is like seeing baby pictures of her best friends. Except she doesn't know any of them. Where did Jack's tie go, do you think??? And why doesn't wear that suit more often?
8:10- KATE!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's their first meeting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8:12- SEPTIC SAWYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not being outacted by his hair, ironically...
8:12:30-SAYID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, this is totally like baby pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8:20- Oooh, low growl. Really, they need to decide on a monster. There's the "low growl" thing, the black smoke, the Others, that thing that sucked the pilot out of the plane, and what happened to the polar bears???? Am I the only one who doesn't know what happened to the polar bears???
Okay, so the funness of seeing all my little castaways for the very first time is wearing off. Now they're just getting tedious. And I have to stop watching in twenty minutes anyways because CSI:NY comes on and there is nothing I wouldn't do for my CSI's...including miss the last half of teh Lost pilot. Well, really because I've seen it before. If I hadn't, we'd be having an emotional breakdown right now and perhaps dragging another TV in to watch simultaneously. Yeah, that would totally work. So cheerio (been watching Monty Python, too...) my little readers. I'll put something up tomorrow, k??? :)

Numbers
Okay, so in an effort to expand my viewing parameters and also find something to watch during the wasteland that is Friday night TV (and for those of us without lives, this is a fairly important goal) I watched Numbers last night. Or, as all the little CBS ads proclaim "NUMB3RS" as if sticking a "3" in there instead of an "E" makes it so much more cool.
First, I'd like to say that was prettiest group of mathematicians that I've ever seen. In fact, one of the prettier groups of people in general that I've seen.
I kind of know the jist of the story because CBS promotes this thing like nothing else- seriously, if you'd put a couple thousand more advertising into CSI:NY, maybe it would make it into the top 10 more often. I'm just saying... So there are two brothers, one is some sort of FBI guy and the other is Barney the Head Elf...no, wait, that was the Santa Clause movies...he's a mathematician with an incredible budget for hair product in this one. And he helps his brother solve crimes. Oh, and there's a girl for no reason at all. Except to be preternaturally pretty. Which seems to be the function of most girls on CBS dramas.
At first there was just too much math. I'm not even completely clear on what an algorithem is much less really interested in it's crime-solving capablilities. I decided that now was a good time to clean my room and fold laundry. And no show should ever do that. But then it actually got kind of interesting, and the really confusing algorithem was used to find a killer who was doing things with cell phones that I don't understand. Frankly, I just figured out voicemail. That was an accomplishment. When I try to send a picture it's still hit or miss. But the show was interesting.
And this episode has Colin Hanks as a guest star- a rival mathematician. I've decided to marry him. First, think of the money and connections. Second, he's really cute. He got like all the good parts from his dad (no, I don't think Tom Hanks is hot) and presumably some good parts from his mom, because he could totally do that geek thing. Although his presence couldn't save King Kong.
So in general a good show. As long as it's not up against anything else, I think I'll keep watching.

Lost and Will & Grace and Stacy Should Die
Yes, I know they're on different nights. But I don't have that much to say about any of them, so I thought I'd combine them, k???
Dancing With the Stars
That skinny bitch with legs up to her armpits must die. Seriously. Soon.
Lost
Here's my list of things to do to make this show better. Not artistically, because I still love it, but some things are starting to bug me.
1.) Kill Locke.
2.) Tell Jack that when forming an army maybe the former army officer is a better person to go
to, rather than one of LA's not-so-finest. Because really, Sayid has nothing to do.
3.) Have Mr. Eko join with the REAL castaways, and then have the whole back half of the island fall off. Now that Guy Who Kinda Looks Like Sean Bean is dead, none of the tailies are worth it.
4.) Kill the next person who tries to push those damn buttons. Wake up, people, it's an experiment.
5.) Cut Sawyer's hair.
6.) Tell Jack that Ana Lucia is a raving lunatic and maybe has an STD (I don't know that she does, but with those shirts I wouldn't be suprised) so that he'll stay far, far away from her.
7.) Maybe try going exploring during the day. When you won't end up having torch-lit ceremonies in the middle of the jungle while a hairy guy holds Kate captive.
8.) Have Mr. Eko (who really should be Fr. Eko, don't you think???) set up a little chapel, ala that chaplain on M*A*S*H*. That would be fun.
9.) Somebody slap Claire and tell her that her kid isn't the antichrist (although I'll admit that there were some pretty strong parallels to the whole flight to Egypt thing last week...)
10.) Seriously. Somebody killy Locke. Soon.
Will & Grace
Oh. My. Gosh. Grace is preggers. I totally knew it the minute that she got sick. Nobody gets sick and talks about it on TV unless they're dying or pregnant. And as we're getting down to the last couple of episodes, I figured they weren't goinng to kill her. Although we won't get to see the baby- ever. *tear* How sad is that????
And does anybody else a little bit creeped out by Will and Taye Diggs??? Anybody??? I know I am. And I really, really hope that the series doesn't end with Jack and Will together. I really don't. That would be so weird. *shivers*
That's pretty much all I have for you until I watch CSI and Without a Trace, k???

Tuesdays on FOX
Or the one night of the week that FOX actually has a fighting chance against the rest of the world. Not a big chance, because I know there's one of the Law and Order's on NBC, but at least something.
(Boston Legal was also new, but I didn't get a chance to watch it- somehow, watching Michael J. Fox die of cancer wasn't how my mother wanted to spend the evening. I taped it, and will probably have something up later on. That show is really hard to write about, though, because it's so funny!)
So the evening started off with American Idol. I'm not and Idol freak. I usually watch the last show when they pick a winner, and that's about it. I wasn't even sure who the finalists were last year. But I do love the auditions. They're so unbelievably bad and awesome, and I can't stop watching them. Especially now that it's been so many years. The first time, I was like, "Oh, they're being mean to the poor people!" but now it's like, "Yeah, you come in looking like an even gayer Clay Aiken, you're probably not getting through." And now they're over. *tear*
But the beginning part in Hollywood is fun, too, because they stick everybody in these groups and there's all this drama and crap and it's almost as good as seeing the sucky singers. But once it gets tot he live shows, well, that's just not any fun any more. B00.
Last night Simon told some guy who sang like Cher to become a drag queen (which seems to be his standard retort this year) and this guy like went crazy and started yelling about Judy Garland. I didn't understand him, but it was pretty awesome to watch!!!
The second viewing of the evening was House, which was equally as awesome when he wasn't being adulterous with Stacy. And then dumping her. And showing us how old Sela Ward looks when she's trying not to cry.
The best line of the night, when talking about an ill mother's use of Ritalin "It explains how she can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never, ever let Teddy forget that he's a man." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That was awesome.
Kinda weird to see Wilson being all, "Respect your marriage vows, man" because we all know Wilson is a cheating manwhore.
And how cute was Dakota Fanning's little sister??? So cute!!!! Pretty good actress, too.
Tonight should be pretty good. It would be awesome, except that the Grammy's pre-emp CSI:NY. Bugger. But Lost is on. And how awesome does CSI: Regular look on Thursday??? So watching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CSI:Miami-Stupid Whore Files
What the hell is wrong with every single attractive woman on all of the CSIs??? Hmmm??? Are they all morons????
Last night we got a beauty with Jennifer, aka the girl that was locked in the closet while Walter Resden killed her parents. Well, she's all grown up now (as another episode a couple of months ago attested to) and guess who she's dating???
Anyone with a brain would say, "Um...any guy but Resden?" And they would be wrong.
Because Jennifer is just another example of a stupid girl who gives young women a bad name. Trust me, not every nineteen-year-old would go out with a balding guy in his forties who was a suspect in her parent's murder- that they met on the internet. And believe me, I know a lot of REALLY STUPID nineteen-year-olds. Gotta say, Jennifer puts them all to shame, though. Right up there with the woman from NY last year who decided cutting through Central Park at night all alone wearing a black lace dress was a good idea.
Anyhoodles, this was a particularly awesome episode. Natalia's late...for a very important date (hahaha...sorry, bad pun.) And Delko is unnerved by the idea of impending fatherhood, instead turning his attention to a girls volleyball team just to put the weekly kink factor in there. And then wen Natalia finds out that she's not preggers (by the way, how sorry would we feel for that kid??? Baby Girl Boa Vista-Delko???), Delko is unsure of the proper etiquette for congratulating/comforting the narrowly avoided mother of his child. It's actually kind of funny.
And Resden's back, but this time they get him. He actually kind of freaked me out, because he looks just like my biology professor last year. Except that I'm fairly certain that he wasn't an abused serial killer. Pretty sure. And Horatio stares down another guy who is twice his size. What is it about a skinny dude with red hair who wears sunglasses INSIDE that people find so fear-inducing??? I'm pretty sure I could stare him down.
But a really good episode. Again, there was no urge to "Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode", which greatly upset me. Bugger.
House and Boston Legal are new tonight, and Lost is new tomorrow, so expect more stuff up soon!!!

CSI:NY- A Plethora of Revelations
Actually, I don't know what the term is for a bunch of revelations. But I like saying "plethora". It sounds okay, right??? Just a quick:
Side Note: I am a sucky blogger. I know that. But Lupé is back in the work-study program and has a ton of stuff to do, especially during her breaks. And now with three universities practically banging down my door and throwing schoarships at me (somehow, never enough though...) she has to think as well. I've watched a ton of great TV (last night's CSI) and a ton of sucky TV (Dancing/Skating with the stars/celebrities). I'm going to try to post more often. Promise!!!
Anyhoodles, CSI:NY has been new the last couple of weeks, which is awesome, but it's not going to be new next week. BOOOO!!!!!! *ahem* Moving on...This week we were treated to multiple character developments, some good, some bad, and some that made Imladris and I consider whether Anna Belknap ever saw that People's Sexiest Man Alive issue with Danny in a tank top. *shivers*
The first revelation of the evening came as Stella was at a party in a characteristically slutty (but rather pretty) dress staring at "art" of a naked woman (which she felt the need to explain to Mac later on in the show. I think this was unnecessary. I dont' think they let you graduate from CSI school without being able to recognize that, do you???). I say "art" because this really wasn't. I don't have a problem with nudes in art. They're great. All the good ones did it. This wasn't art.
So this guy comes up and gives her a drink and it turns out it's the elusive Frankie!!!! (Okay, I have to admit. I was on the phone with my grandfather at this point, and my conversation may have been slightly fractured as inside I was going "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" and then Imladris ran out of the den and actually did scream "Oh my gosh!!!!". Sorry Grandpa.) But I was happy that they didn't decide to throw out the Frankie story-line, because they really do need some romantic intrigue on that show. Apparently Danny's girlfriend has fizzled, too, because he was hitting on that subway girl last week, and other than the unseen Roller-Derby fan that Mac went out with, he doesn't have a relationship.
S0 they're flirting and then we go up to the roof and a couple doing things against a wall (this is CSI people, remember that...) are shot through with a bow and arrow. Of course, Stella is the consumate CSI and pulls herself away from Frankie and his charms and calls in the rest of the little CSI team. Who rush out and discover that the guy is still alive and the girl is dead. Of course. Because why would you kill a guy when you can instead have an entire hour of shots of a woman in her underwear without the censors all over your ass??? This storyline continues for a long time and I get a little bit bored, and I think the CSI's do too, because with the exception of getting to play with a new weapon, they look a little bit tired.
And Danny and Lindsay found a dead guy with glue on his face. And a suspicious, rude manager for a rock group next door called the Rough Sects. Another way to avoid the censors. Say it out loud and you'll get it. This story line was very unimportant except that it gave us the revelation that Danny has a creepy laugh. Seriously creepy. I was like, "What the hell was that???"
But Montana is showing up an awful lot on the other case, probably because Hawkes revelation is that he is now embracing his inner GQ boy and strutting around in big overwear, sunglasses, and hugely annoying pouty lips. I don't know why, but he just is. So Lindsay, who I always kind of liked because she was completely devoid of sexual energy, hangs out with the A cast and gets to shoot the bow and arrow and consequently Mac helps her out with a guitar, and they got very close to flirting.
*gasp* I am outraged. At least Aiden was only into Danny (who totally deserved her...)
Continuing on with the real story, turns out Injured Guy was a manwhore and a jealous ex-boyfriend of a fling shot them. Big whup. I'm mainly concerned with Why Hawkes is strutting around the lab like a frickin' peacock, Stella is acting like a twelve-year-old and taking personal calls on the job, and what the hell Newbie is doing at the shooting range with Mac.
Then, after this all gets wrapped up we still have five minute left. I am confused. They don't have enough time for another suspect, and goodness knows CSI is nothing if not succinct. Instead we find Newbie in a bar. With two beers. And Danny walks in.
*gasp* I almost fell off the couch.
But then they start watching the show, and it turns out Mac is a secret guitar guy. Playing onstage. Which is nice, because it would be sad if he just went home and sat with his beachball. This is possibly the biggest revelation of the night!!! Seriously, I was drained by the end of the hour.
The most notable exception to this otherwise terribly interesting episode was that Flack had absolutely no revelations of his own and barely two lines. Most of which were disgusting. Except for "Commenting, not condoning." That was funny. Seriously, somebody needs to give him lines. He was good enough for Friends- he's probably good enough for this!!!!
Side Note: I am a sucky blogger. I know that. But Lupé is back in the work-study program and has a ton of stuff to do, especially during her breaks. And now with three universities practically banging down my door and throwing schoarships at me (somehow, never enough though...) she has to think as well. I've watched a ton of great TV (last night's CSI) and a ton of sucky TV (Dancing/Skating with the stars/celebrities). I'm going to try to post more often. Promise!!!
Anyhoodles, CSI:NY has been new the last couple of weeks, which is awesome, but it's not going to be new next week. BOOOO!!!!!! *ahem* Moving on...This week we were treated to multiple character developments, some good, some bad, and some that made Imladris and I consider whether Anna Belknap ever saw that People's Sexiest Man Alive issue with Danny in a tank top. *shivers*
The first revelation of the evening came as Stella was at a party in a characteristically slutty (but rather pretty) dress staring at "art" of a naked woman (which she felt the need to explain to Mac later on in the show. I think this was unnecessary. I dont' think they let you graduate from CSI school without being able to recognize that, do you???). I say "art" because this really wasn't. I don't have a problem with nudes in art. They're great. All the good ones did it. This wasn't art.
So this guy comes up and gives her a drink and it turns out it's the elusive Frankie!!!! (Okay, I have to admit. I was on the phone with my grandfather at this point, and my conversation may have been slightly fractured as inside I was going "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" and then Imladris ran out of the den and actually did scream "Oh my gosh!!!!". Sorry Grandpa.) But I was happy that they didn't decide to throw out the Frankie story-line, because they really do need some romantic intrigue on that show. Apparently Danny's girlfriend has fizzled, too, because he was hitting on that subway girl last week, and other than the unseen Roller-Derby fan that Mac went out with, he doesn't have a relationship.
S0 they're flirting and then we go up to the roof and a couple doing things against a wall (this is CSI people, remember that...) are shot through with a bow and arrow. Of course, Stella is the consumate CSI and pulls herself away from Frankie and his charms and calls in the rest of the little CSI team. Who rush out and discover that the guy is still alive and the girl is dead. Of course. Because why would you kill a guy when you can instead have an entire hour of shots of a woman in her underwear without the censors all over your ass??? This storyline continues for a long time and I get a little bit bored, and I think the CSI's do too, because with the exception of getting to play with a new weapon, they look a little bit tired.
And Danny and Lindsay found a dead guy with glue on his face. And a suspicious, rude manager for a rock group next door called the Rough Sects. Another way to avoid the censors. Say it out loud and you'll get it. This story line was very unimportant except that it gave us the revelation that Danny has a creepy laugh. Seriously creepy. I was like, "What the hell was that???"
But Montana is showing up an awful lot on the other case, probably because Hawkes revelation is that he is now embracing his inner GQ boy and strutting around in big overwear, sunglasses, and hugely annoying pouty lips. I don't know why, but he just is. So Lindsay, who I always kind of liked because she was completely devoid of sexual energy, hangs out with the A cast and gets to shoot the bow and arrow and consequently Mac helps her out with a guitar, and they got very close to flirting.
*gasp* I am outraged. At least Aiden was only into Danny (who totally deserved her...)
Continuing on with the real story, turns out Injured Guy was a manwhore and a jealous ex-boyfriend of a fling shot them. Big whup. I'm mainly concerned with Why Hawkes is strutting around the lab like a frickin' peacock, Stella is acting like a twelve-year-old and taking personal calls on the job, and what the hell Newbie is doing at the shooting range with Mac.
Then, after this all gets wrapped up we still have five minute left. I am confused. They don't have enough time for another suspect, and goodness knows CSI is nothing if not succinct. Instead we find Newbie in a bar. With two beers. And Danny walks in.
*gasp* I almost fell off the couch.
But then they start watching the show, and it turns out Mac is a secret guitar guy. Playing onstage. Which is nice, because it would be sad if he just went home and sat with his beachball. This is possibly the biggest revelation of the night!!! Seriously, I was drained by the end of the hour.

Except for "Commenting, not condoning." That was funny. Seriously, somebody needs to give him lines. He was good enough for Friends- he's probably good enough for this!!!!

Lost and CSI:NY- Finally!!!!!
Okay, so the finally only applies to Lost, because Anthony Zuiker is still involved in his dastardly plan to kill me slowly by depriving me of new NY episodes. This is the same plan, sympathetic readers, that he implimented when the President Bush's speech pushed the premiere back a week. I've never been so anti-government in my life. New episodes come back next week, though, and they had better be worth it. I want cute little lines for Flack, and way more clothes on Stella, because frankly the cleavage is getting annoying, and absolutely NO MORE lube wrestling or roller derbys, because they make me a little bit sick. :p
Anyway, Lost was new last night, and it was frickin' awesome. However, I have to admit that I do agree with my dad a little teeny bit. While the episode was really interesting and I like the backstory way more than I thought I would, it was a little bit tedious. Like you realized it was only eight thirty and couldn't possibly imagine what they were going to say for the next half hour because Eko was already in a Roman collar on the tarmac, and really, what can you do to top that.
Just to run down the story a little bit, Charlie had everyone convinced for the first fifty-nine minutes of the show that he actually wasn't a druggie and perhaps might be going through a spiritual epiphany of his own before revealing that he was simply creating a stash of the Virgin Mary statues for...well, let's just say other purposes. Claire got all upset and threw Charlie out of the hut, which I wasn't aware that they were totally sharing anyway, but whatever. Maybe he can go room with Sayid who is presumably over in the corner screaming in a fetal position.
(Sayid Side Note: Entertainment Weekly this week had the funniest thing ever. They were talking about how Naveen Andrews admitted to having a love child, and how they wouldn't really even care if "the baby hadn't been revealed through a series of well-choreographed flashbacks". I almost fell off the chair I was laughing so hard.)
And Mr. Eko is a destitute kid turned revolutionary turned priest...I think. I mean, maybe he was just faking for the guys on tarmac, because you could totally tell that he was going..."Um...yeah. I'm a priest. Bless you, my child..." But I think he might actually be one, because he seemed like he was telling the truth. And really, after all those people have been through on the island, are we really keeping secrets anymore??? Even Jin knows Sun can speak English, although it took him the better part of a season.
But the biggest thing of the night was that we saw The Monster. It was awesome. It was terrifying. It made me wish I had biology again this year because I know the whole lab would have been devoted to it (my professor was a total Lostie). It was...black smoke. Yes, children, the same black smoke that featured last spring and led to upteen Pope jokes. And- get this- it's scared of Mr. Eko!!!! Seriously, dude just stared it down and it went away. Charlie's over there in a tree wetting himself, and Mr. Eko's just like "You wanno go???" I was amazing.
The episode ended with Jack smiling at Ana Lucia, who, in a departure from her usual role on the show, was not slaughtering beloved characters (okay, so Shannon wasn't that beloved. Whatever.). And Crazy Chick actually smiled back. Of course, she's looking at three to five for violating parole and drunk driving, but at least they're letting her smile. Just as long as she doesn't smile too much. I'm kind of over the Tailies, frankly. I want my castaways back. Except Mr. Eko. I like him.
The second view of the night was CSI:NY, which was a repeat (bugger) but a pretty good one. And I didn't have to watch anybody pulling evidence out of disgusting substances or listen to Mac say "lover". A good night in my book. It was the one where the dancer fell off the tram and it was kinda sad because she was just trying to get away from Crazy Lech Choreographer. And watching Stella foam at the mouth when Lindsay was schmearing that odor stuff on Mac's face was worth it. Methinks new girl had better lock her door at night...
Anyhoodles, more stuff up later, k???

CSI:NY- Ewwww...
....I can't even write about this one. It was too icky. Mac said the word "lover" about twelve more times than I ever needed to here him say it, and the whole crime scene was covered in stuff I don't really care to think about. *shivers*
Super good storyline with Danny and the dead guy though. Loved it. Next week's is a rerun, but it's one I haven't written about yet, so maybe I'll put something up then, okay???

CSI: NY- Whores on Wheels
It's been a terribly long time, I know, and the three people who read this are salivating over another post by yours truly, but Lupe's been a little bit too busy to have write scathingly sarcastic commentaries on the many shows I do watch. However, this one was just too good to pass out. FYI, the title was a toss-up between the one given above and "Watch Stella Shove a Roller Skate Up That Girl's Pretty Little A**". I thought this would be more appropriate.
Anyhoodles, we find our CSI's at a Roller Derby rink where one of the "athletes" (in the sense that Anna Kournikova is an "athlete"...) has been killed, despite the fact that she has no marks on her. But she's dead. The audience accepts this and moves on. Meanwhile, Mac knows way too much about this "sport" (I googled it and got a little bit ill) and Stella and Lindsay start bugging him about being on dates. Causing me to think, "Grow up, people, you're not in high school anymore!!!" Sheesh. I should not be the mature one in my relationship with the CSI's.
So Mac is questioning the girls in the locker room, where it becomes immediately apparent that these lovely young women are not fond of clothing. Hmmm. One of them, however, is fond of Mac and takes off her shirt and is just generally being a whore. *gasp* How tacky. Hitting on the guy who is questioning you. Is nothing sacred??? (I'm sure in an earlier draft of the script, Stella was clawing at the door and yelling something about her ovaries drying up, but whatever...) Mac is offended (duh) and sends Lindsay in instead, which I don't thinkw as terribly nice, because those women could like eat her alive. But anyway.
I don't actually remember a whole lot of what happened during the rest of the episode, mainly because I was concerned about the foam coming out of Stella's mouth and I couldn't keep the slut's names straight. I know they tested every single bottle for poison though, and Mac was like "Do women really need all this stuff?" (says the man who keeps a beach ball around for company), and Lindsay's (in keeping with the whole "The CSI's exist only to solve cases. They are simply turned off and put away in a closet at the end of the day" theory that Jerry B is so fond of) like, "You're asking me? I work in a lab." Uh-huh. Sure, Linds. You roll out of bed looking like that in the morning. No, I totally got it. And Stella doesn't wear a WonderBra. *cough*LIARS*cough*
Turns out that the wife of the owner was dosing the girl's shapoo with DNP (an apprently dangerous chemical) and that's what killed Dead Girl. Bummer. And Killer Wife is so contrite...Stella's like "Yeah, B*tch. You totally deserve to go to jail."
There was another crime, but it was basically an hour long ad for Coldplay (although it worked. I liked the song so much I dug out my copy of X&Y. Although I didn't buy a new one, which is probably what they wanted, but whatever.) Did we know Danny is seeing somebody???? I did not know this!!! Shocking.
Unfortunatly, next week is a rerun, but it's the season premiere, which was pretty good. Except for the totally superfluous male prostitute in the beginning. He had no reason to be there. And yet he was. Good ol' CSI.

Random Selection of Shows
I've been watching a lot of TV lately, and just wanted to run down the list...
House was on on Tuesday---yay!!!! Love House!!! Best show ever (aside from the CSIs...those will rule forever...). Funny, I know it was a good episode, but I don't really remember what it was about...oh, a biker who is using blood doping to win. And then gets sick. And then gets cured thanks to House. Yay!!! And when he and Mark are arguing in the cafeteria, "This is like watching Oscar Wilde and Noel Coward in the third grade...." HAHAHA... Next week's looks good, too.
Lost kicked a** this week, not the gentle pushing of last week. They recounted the first forty-eight days on the island from the point of view of the "tailies" (those from the tail of the plane). First, I would like to say that Michelle Rodriguez scares me. I get the feeling that she could beat me up and then spit on me or something. *shivers* She should not be with Jack... And we learn that Rose's Bernard is still alive. Yay!!! They can be together again!!! Oooh, and this side of the island found a list with names of people that the Others are going to be taking. *gasp*
Unfortunately, Guy Who Kind of Looks Like Sean Bean is dead. Bummer. And after only one episode, too.
And we found out that only the survivors from the first season mean anything sentimentally to the public. In the last couple of minutes, they show the tailies interacting with the other guys, and both Imladris and I were going, "Oh! It's our castaways now!!!" And then I realized that the thirty million other people who watch this every week were probably saying the same thing. I feel like of bad for the tailies. Somebody should adopt them.
And cheers to CSI:NY for giving Flack more of a presence on the show. And for giving Lindsay something else to do than just act awkward and shy around the rest of the group. Flack's lines in the beginning of the show were absolutely hilarious. And next week's look really creepy, so everybody should watch, k???
And I saw CSI: Original las night. It was the ending of a two-parter. Really good, and I'm not really even that into the show. Seriously, does anybody else think that everybody should just back off and let the CSI's do their thing??? In practically every single episode IAB is all "I'm giving you forty-eight hours and then I'm arresting the wrong guy just because I feel like it..." Crazies. Leave them alone!!!! Poor Brass, though. Sadness.
And how great did the previews for next week look??? My dad was commenting on how interesting my sister and I are going to be during it, as it is Thanksgiving and we will be partaking in all that entails, I am sure... ;) Yes, Grandpa, this is your legacy. Tipsy granddaughters yelling at fake people on television. Be glad it's not NY...that could be really embarrassing...
Finally, there was one show that I didn't watch this week, mainly because it wasn't on. FOX cut Arrested Development's episode order from 24 to 13, which means it will probably be cancelled. Bugger. I can't really blame FOX, because they stuck with it longer than any network probably should have, but it's still sad. I so want the DVDs for Christmas now...
Anyhoodles, I'm going to be gone tonight, but everybody have a good weekend!!!

CSI: Miami- That's *gotta* hurt...
Note: First, I would like to welcome Mary to the CSI-fanatic group. The people who almost care more about the characters and the actual people in their lives. Thanks to the crossovers last week, Mary will be spending ever Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evening watching this show instead of interacting with real people. Welcome, Mary!!! ;)
*shivers* This week's episode was basically a reminder that we should all be careful around power tools. And maybe stay away from construction workers. And never marry a bastard named Gary who will leave us for a woman who is a size 0. Yeah, you read that right. 0. No 1 in front of it---although, really, a 2 would be preferable when you're dealing with adultery...
We find out in the first couple of seconds that Ryan has been shot in the eye with a nail gun. *screams* NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT RYAN!!!!!!!!!!! ANYBODY BUT RYAN!!!!!!!!!!! So he's writhing and thrashing in the car while Delko's like "Chill out, dude, here, take a drag off of this, it'll calm you right down..." and Ryan's like "Shut up you druggie, and just drive!!!" So Ryan's in the emergency room and Horatio shows up (Awww...see, Grissom would have been sidetracked by a bug somewhere...this is why Miami rocks....) and then we find out the whole episode was a flashback. And the flashback starts with a surprisingly old (probably forty at least) corpse. In a land where only those who are perfect twenty-two year olds are killed, this is a little bit shocking.
And she's been shot with a nail gun!!! Quell Suprise!!! And her poor little family was is all gathered around and then Miss Size 0 walks in with the daughter and is all "ACK! It's his ex-wife!!" In their infinite wisdom, the CSI's decide to question Gary, the soon to be ex-husband of Dead Woman, and see when the last time he saw her was. He lies (to steal a line from House, "Everybody lies..."), and we later find out that his DNA was under her fingernails. Hmmm.
Meanwhile, back in the lab, Calleigh is shooting at random things with a nail gun for "scientific" purposes. Uh-huh. I think she just likes shooting things. I wonder if she has a Closet of Crazy like Mac does in New York??? Anyhoodles, Ryan walks in and she points the gun right at his face. And 17 million viewers across the US collectively scream "AHH!!!!" and hide in their sofa pillows. Except that she doesn't shoot him. The director just continues to fake us out for the next half hour. Seriously, everytime it would make sense for a nail gun to be pointed at Ryan's face (and even a couple that weren't), there it is. And we all shiver and cover our eyes.
BTW, the only reason Ryan's there is that Delko didn't answer his page. Hmmm. Wonder what's goin' on there...so Ryan's tired and pissed and a little bit hot when he's all rumpled like that...ahem, sorry...
I kind of forget what happens next, because I spent most of the time under a pillow while my mom was going "Hey! That happened to me!!!", but I know that Scumbag Gary has changed his story and is now saying he slept with Dead Woman that day, even though the CSI's haven't found anything to support that. And trust me, if you want sordid details about the deceased's sex life, CSI is the place to go. So either he's lying, or he's...just a scumbag. Either way, they might as well release him, because we know he sure as hell didn't have anything to do with her murder.
Anyhoodles, this is when they somehow link the nail gun to the contractor (which wouldnt' have been that big a leap in my mind, but whatever...) and Ryan goes looking for him. In an empty building. Without backup. Without his gun drawn. Stupid, stupid Ryan.
Again, this is where the CSI's differ...you know Horatio is going to be "Okay, you made a mistake. Just make sure it doesn't happen again, son," when Ryan gets out of the hospital. Mac would go all Marine and be like "What the hell were you thinking, Danny!?!?!?! - I'm just assuming it's Danny, because he's the only one I could think of who would do something like that- You know what? You're not getting promoted! EVER!!!!" I'm not sure how Grissom would handle it, because all I havent' devoted quite as much of my life to his show.
This is when Ryan gets shot, by the way...*shivers*
So they finally find Builder Guy, and he confesses, sort of. With the brilliant you-can't-make-this-up story that Dead Woman payed him to kill Gary. But when he got to the house to kill Gary, Dead Woman was there instead. And wanted him to kill her. Well, Builder Guy honestly says "Hey, lady, I've got standards!" and stalks out (convicted felon, btw...). Dead Woman is all upset because she can't die and frame Gary for murder. Unfortunately, Gary's son was listening in, and got rather upset when Mommy was talking about killing Daddy. And then kills Mommy. With the nail gun. *shivers*
But for some reason the CSI's don't think that he had anything to do with shooting Ryan, and inexplicably turn to Charlene. And she cracks after two minutes with Horatio. I still don't know what it is about that guy. Why do people end up crying after two minutes alone with a skinny Irish dude who wears sunglasses inside???
This episode ends with a touching little tableau of human emotion in the ER. Delko has come to pick Ryan up (he can't drive...*snigger*) and he's all "Dude, it was my fault. I'm a loser." And Ryan's like "No, man, I really screwed up." And Delko's like "Yeah, you kind of did dude, but I still shoudl have been there." And Ryan's like, "Yeah you should have been, but how sweet is it that we're playing nicely again???" Okay, so they didn't really say that, but that was the general gist of things... ;)
Sorry this is a day late...I'll have something up on NY tomorrow!!!

So he's writhing and thrashing in the car while Delko's like "Chill out, dude, here, take a drag off of this, it'll calm you right down..." and Ryan's like "Shut up you druggie, and just drive!!!" So Ryan's in the emergency room and Horatio shows up (Awww...see, Grissom would have been sidetracked by a bug somewhere...this is why Miami rocks....) and then we find out the whole episode was a flashback. And the flashback starts with a surprisingly old (probably forty at least) corpse. In a land where only those who are perfect twenty-two year olds are killed, this is a little bit shocking.
And she's been shot with a nail gun!!! Quell Suprise!!! And her poor little family was is all gathered around and then Miss Size 0 walks in with the daughter and is all "ACK! It's his ex-wife!!" In their infinite wisdom, the CSI's decide to question Gary, the soon to be ex-husband of Dead Woman, and see when the last time he saw her was. He lies (to steal a line from House, "Everybody lies..."), and we later find out that his DNA was under her fingernails. Hmmm.
Meanwhile, back in the lab, Calleigh is shooting at random things with a nail gun for "scientific" purposes. Uh-huh. I think she just likes shooting things. I wonder if she has a Closet of Crazy like Mac does in New York??? Anyhoodles, Ryan walks in and she points the gun right at his face. And 17 million viewers across the US collectively scream "AHH!!!!" and hide in their sofa pillows. Except that she doesn't shoot him. The director just continues to fake us out for the next half hour. Seriously, everytime it would make sense for a nail gun to be pointed at Ryan's face (and even a couple that weren't), there it is. And we all shiver and cover our eyes.
BTW, the only reason Ryan's there is that Delko didn't answer his page. Hmmm. Wonder what's goin' on there...so Ryan's tired and pissed and a little bit hot when he's all rumpled like that...ahem, sorry...
I kind of forget what happens next, because I spent most of the time under a pillow while my mom was going "Hey! That happened to me!!!", but I know that Scumbag Gary has changed his story and is now saying he slept with Dead Woman that day, even though the CSI's haven't found anything to support that. And trust me, if you want sordid details about the deceased's sex life, CSI is the place to go. So either he's lying, or he's...just a scumbag. Either way, they might as well release him, because we know he sure as hell didn't have anything to do with her murder.
Anyhoodles, this is when they somehow link the nail gun to the contractor (which wouldnt' have been that big a leap in my mind, but whatever...) and Ryan goes looking for him. In an empty building. Without backup. Without his gun drawn. Stupid, stupid Ryan.
Again, this is where the CSI's differ...you know Horatio is going to be "Okay, you made a mistake. Just make sure it doesn't happen again, son," when Ryan gets out of the hospital. Mac would go all Marine and be like "What the hell were you thinking, Danny!?!?!?! - I'm just assuming it's Danny, because he's the only one I could think of who would do something like that- You know what? You're not getting promoted! EVER!!!!" I'm not sure how Grissom would handle it, because all I havent' devoted quite as much of my life to his show.
This is when Ryan gets shot, by the way...*shivers*
So they finally find Builder Guy, and he confesses, sort of. With the brilliant you-can't-make-this-up story that Dead Woman payed him to kill Gary. But when he got to the house to kill Gary, Dead Woman was there instead. And wanted him to kill her. Well, Builder Guy honestly says "Hey, lady, I've got standards!" and stalks out (convicted felon, btw...). Dead Woman is all upset because she can't die and frame Gary for murder. Unfortunately, Gary's son was listening in, and got rather upset when Mommy was talking about killing Daddy. And then kills Mommy. With the nail gun. *shivers*
But for some reason the CSI's don't think that he had anything to do with shooting Ryan, and inexplicably turn to Charlene. And she cracks after two minutes with Horatio. I still don't know what it is about that guy. Why do people end up crying after two minutes alone with a skinny Irish dude who wears sunglasses inside???
This episode ends with a touching little tableau of human emotion in the ER. Delko has come to pick Ryan up (he can't drive...*snigger*) and he's all "Dude, it was my fault. I'm a loser." And Ryan's like "No, man, I really screwed up." And Delko's like "Yeah, you kind of did dude, but I still shoudl have been there." And Ryan's like, "Yeah you should have been, but how sweet is it that we're playing nicely again???" Okay, so they didn't really say that, but that was the general gist of things... ;)
Sorry this is a day late...I'll have something up on NY tomorrow!!!

CSI:Miami and NY- *thud*
Oh my freakin' gosh. These two episodes were like the best ever. Unbelievable. Amazing. I finally have validation for spending this much time obsessing over fake people. Jerry Bruckheimer can totally have my first born.
Anyway, everybody watched it, so I'm not going to go into a huge long synopsis that nobody needs. Suffice to say Horatio and Mac are chasing Henry Darius, a serial killer that Mac and Co. put away a year ago, all over the U.S. Monday's episode was good, but pretty much just a rip-off of the movie Con-Air. Without Nicolas Cage. Which is a good thing. (Shut up Imladris...) How great was it when Mac arrived??? Colleen was like "Oh! He's got a duffel bag!!! He's staying for awhile!!!" We figured he brought along a picture of Stella. Clearly.
Speaking of Stella, she found another possible baby daddy!!! She spent most of last night living by the rule, "A little boy never wants a toy unless another little boy is playing with it." It was hilarious, "Are you always this hot on a case???" My dad was like, "Wait. What did she mean by that?" You could totally tell that she was figuring out how her kids would look with curly red hair (as opposed to the little marines she's been dreaming about since 9/11). Colleen and I decided that she was probably doodling "Mr. and Mrs. Horatio Caine. Mrs. Stella Caine. Detective and Mrs. Horatio Caine..." all over her case files. And she kind of looks like Yelena. Except Greek. And way prettier. And, as Horatio was served, he'll probably be back in NY soon. Yay!!!
Meanwhile, back in the lab, Lindsay is fuming and muttering under her breath because Mac made her stay in the lab. Which she took as an affront even though clearly he was just looking out for her (and probably pissed off that Stella was doing everything in her power to get Horatio's attention...). Even though, if you ask me, Danny is the loose cannon and should probably be kept in the lab as much as possible.
And the psychiatrist killed me. "I may have mentioned Alexa's inheritance." Mac was just staring at him like, "You stupid dumbass." Almost as stupid as the little sister who used the tissue Mac gave her, thus giving him DNA. Idiot. He's not trying to be nice, he's trying to avoid a search warrant!!! If I'm ever brought in for questioning, I'm totally not going to use a Kleenex or drink anything.
And how great was the ending??? When Horatio called the little boy and told him everything as alright. Awww... I love caring CSI's... And when Mac was at the prison and was all "You rot in hell, you son of a b*tch." This was quite starteling, as Mac doesn't swear a whole lot. It was like when I was watching Forrest Gump and he said a Very Nasty Word and I was like "*gasp* Mac!!!!"
Anyhoodles, this was a truly awesome show. They should do a movie. No, because then it would suck. But they should definately do more crossovers!!!!

21 Jump Street
Yes, I know the show ended fourteen years ago. That's not the point.
Do you know what those bastards did now??? I, as a faithful Johnny devotee, have been faithfully purchasing every single freakin' season as they are released, and even sitting through all of the episodes because 1.) It's Johnny!!!, and 2.) I find Peter DeLouise's hair funny. Finally they released the fourth season, the one where Johnny leaves, and I thought I could finally stop buying them.
Not so.
Johnny's last episode on the series was the season finale of season four, which is mysteriously missing from the season four DVD. Hmmm. Turns out that the producers thought that it "belonged with season five" and included it on the season five DVD (presumably to be released in a couple of months.) Friggin' bastards!!!! They know their show sucks and nowbody would buy it if Johnny wasn't in it!!! So I have to cough up thirty bucks for a forty minute episode.
Who else thinks this is false advertising or something???

CSI: NY- What statutory rape???
I'm back folks, mainly because this episode practically parodied itself. Too easy.
We open with a whore who looks surprisingly young standing innocently (yet alone) by an elevator, with an older creepy guy clearly staring at her ass. They get on the elevetor, where Creepy Older Guy shoves Young Whore against a wall and starts making out with her. You're like "Oh, how awful!!!" for a few seconds, before you realize that she's sucking back. Ewww. I don't know what happens next, because we changed the channel because my little brother was in the room. Yeah.
Anyhoodles, Creepy Older Guy was shot and killed with something that the CSI's have never seen before. Say what??? The Robospanker was nothing new to them. What the hell is going on here!?!?! Suddenly, my whole world doesn't make much sense... Turns out Creepy Older Guy, named Kinsey (not the Kinsey portrayed by Liam Neeson, you perverts...) knew Young Whore, who they find out is actually Quite Young, as she dropped a note saying "Auditions after third period" before high-tailing it out of there.
Lesson #1: If your life is still divided by "periods", you're too young to be making out with a fifty-year-old in the elevator. I don't care how rich he is. Or how rich you are. You still have a study hall, for heaven's sakes.
At this point, Hawkes drags Stella out of the elevator bank where she's clearly deciding which baby names sound best with "Taylor" to investigate a dead body found at the bottom of of a lake in Central Park. "Run into the park. That's safe!", according to Imladris... This is a rather inconseqential story line, mainly giving us more time to look at Hawkes, who I still don't think should have made it onto the Sexy Guys of CSI list. (There's a longer diatribe about this on this blog earlier in the year, but I don't feel like linking it right now, k???) So we'll just get it out of the way quickly.
Dead Guy was found wearing expensive clothes, but his shoes had holes in them. This made my sister and I decide that if our father was ever found murdered, they would take him for a hobo, as he doesn't ever buy new clothes or shoes, despite being able to pay for him. We'd be at the station like "Hey! He belongs to us!" and they'd be like "No, I don't think so. We'll just check missing persons, okay???" Turns out Dead Guy wasn't Rich too, just an imposter, pretending to be wealthy and mooching off of the actually rich. Hmmm. Somebody doesn't have his priority's straight, huh??? Anyhoodles, Actual Rich Guy decides he doesn't like this, and puts lobster bisque in Dead Guy's soup. Dead Guy's allergic. Bummer, huh???
Back to the real story. Danny's following Melanie (the young whore) around school trying to figure out why the hell she was in an elevator with her "boyfriend" (I'm sorry, but if the guy qualifies for AARP, you can't call him your "boyfriend anymore, okay???) instead of doing something productive like...well, anything other than hanging around with the perv. Mac is shooting odd weapons into ballistics gel and getting way too excited about building one out of a steering wheel lock. I'm glad that he's moving on from the whole Claire thing, but really, find something other than guns to be interested in, alright???
The rest of the episode was very long and complicated, and not that interesting, except to give us...
Lesson #2: Flack looks better with longer hair. Thank God that caeser thing is growing out.
So yeah, a parking attendent killed Kinsey after Melanie turned him down (FYI, this guy was in in forties), and Melanie's just a mean little bitch. Seriously. Awful. They did not teach her manners at that fancy prep school.
And the whole time they managed never to touch on the fact that a high school student was riding up to a fifty-two year old's apartment alone at night. Hmmm. Did New York just cut out a whole part of their statutes and not tell anyone???

CSI: Miami/NY
First of all, I didn't mean for the title to allude to next week's crossover episodes, but it totally did. So, while we're at it, how psyched are we??? (Apparently so much so that I felt the need to revert to 1985...) Can't wait!!! Imladris also said that there was a killer commercial out there, so you all should watch CBS until next Monday, k???
What I really meant to do was touch on the last couple of episodes of these shows. Unfortunately, I've been too busy to write long things about them, but I have been watching religiously. Miami's been kind of blah this season, except when they delve into Horatio's past. That gets interesting. But Delko's just a druggie, Valera is inexplicably back (didn't she get fired???), and Ryan is acting like a spoiled little baby. Calleigh can't carry the show all by herself. This Monday's was a repeat (O.J. is innocent!!!), but the last one was really good. Except that we all learned that watching David Caruso on a date is kind of painful. And I was very confused by the end. I was unsure of who was who. I hate it when CSI gets above my head. Then I feel really stupid...
NY has been really good this season. The whole feel is lighter, including Stella's hair. Thankfully, Flack's hair has grown out a little. Whew. That was a bad one. I'm still not sure about Newbie, though. Although it was kind of a funny moment last Wednesday when she started rubbing that vanilla stuff all over Mac's face and he's like "What the hell is she doing?" and Stella was practically foaming at the mouth. HAHAHA. I love it. New episode tonight, too. YAY!!!
House, my other favorite show, came back last night after five freakin' weeks off the air because of baseball (FYI, that was spat...). And I didn't even get to see it. I am such a good Catholic. *sniff* No, I watched the DVD as soon as I got home...super good episode, and we learned that Cameron is only attractecd to dying guys or House. Hmmm. That's weird. Again, Wilson hung around the whole episode without anything to do. I mean, there was a cancer side story, but he wasn't involved with that. Is he like the oncologist on call or something??? Anyhoodles, I like him much better in this than committing unspeakable acts in Dead Poets Society, so yeah...Colleen thinks that Chase is getting hotter this season, too, so everybody should watch for that, okay???
Didn't get a chance to see Boston Legal last night...can anybody tell me what happened???

J.J. Abrams is Alive!!!!
Apparently, he has realized that killing off the one character that brings in female viewers just because having him around set makes Jennifer Garner "icky" isn't the smartest thing. Especially when you've moved to a new time slot.
Yes, people, according to the venerable source TV Guide, Michael Vartan will be coming back this season- at least for a couple of episodes. The writers have said that it won't be flashbacks, either, but they won't comment on how they bring him back from the dead. Not that they don't have experience. That's like a monthly plot line on this show. I'm now taking bets on how many people think he was in exile in Russia somewhere...
On to other news, I don't have a scathingly sarcastic review for you right now. Nor will I regularly for a couple of days. Simple reason- Lupe's exhausted. I will be watching plenty of TV, and writing little reviews about what I think of it (Commander in Chief- Brilliant! Except for the balancing the UN with the grape juice on the pleather in the limo...that was slightly contrived). Tonight's pick is Numbers. But it takes a lot of time and energy to do one of my little CSI rants, and frankly, I just need to watch CSI now. Well, that, and I don't really want to write about Miami last week, with the "wive's weekend", where they're all sleeping with the pool boy and occaisionally with each other's husbands... is it just me or has this season really gotten tacky??? This coming Monday's looks good, though.
NY has been good, but the problem is that I've been spending pretty much all of my free time watching the DVDs of season one, and am starting to get the episodes confused. Well, not really, but details are starting to blur. :) This week's episode was good, though.
One question for people: How do we feel about Aiden's departure and the advent of this pretty little thing fro I-o-way (okay, it's Montana. But whatever.)??? I was okay with Aiden leaving, as her hooched out lips were starting to annoy, (and really, how could you stand in the way of Vanessa Ferilito's white-hot screen career???), but I'm not sure that I really like Lindsay. She's too perky. And not really as young as everyone is proclaiming every six minutes on the show. At least Aiden was safe- you knew the only guy she was gonna go near was Danny, and as far as I'm concerned, he's fair game. I'm more protective of Mac; and Flack- don't even get me started. Hands off, bitch- he's mine!!! ;)
So how do we feel??? Should Aiden have stayed? Do we like Lindsay?

Housekeeping Note:
For the three people who read this religiously, and the one person who tries to but doesn't understand about fifty percent of you, I apologize for not updating in an obscenely long time. You all know why. Really, as much as I love TV, when it comes down to watching and reviewing Lost or sitting with a loved one in their time of need, I'm not a bitch. At least not one that big.
Just a few notes~~~
1.) I'm pissed off at the WB. They cancelled Just Legal. After three episodes when it had to compete with Monday Night Football. I really don't think that's fair.
2.) MLB is still intent on ruining my life. When I turned on the television last Monday to watch Arrested Development (with the three other people in this country doing the same...) I found baseball. The same baseball, in fact, that ripped my precious House right out of my hands. Bastards.
3.) New template. Hope you all like it. I need to keep changing. It makes me happy. Live with it.
Anyhoodles, I'll try to get stuff up this week, k???

Grey's Anatomy and Comment Spam
Note: I had to put up a word verification on this blog too, as I'm really tired of random anonymous spammers trying to save my soul. My soul is just fine, thank you very much. How is yours??? Anyhoodles, please keep commenting, you just type in the word shown below where you sign in. Thank you!!!
So last night I watched Grey's Anatomy for the first time this season. I have been keepingup to date with it via a friend whose life revolves around Sunday nights on ABC, but I digress. Apparently, Cristina decided that abortion was bad, and broke up with Burke, Shephard's wife came back and is being annoyingly sweet to Meredith, who is up to her ears in crap because her mom needed care and came to Seattle General. Yeah, there's nothing like actually having to deal with a sick parent, is there, Meredith???
In last nights episode of the Young and the Brilliant, they think Meredith's mom has cancer. Actually, Meredith hopes she does because then things would be over quickly. This is our heroine??? She sleeps with a married guy and then wishes her mother will die more quickly??? Wow, it makes those hos on Desperate Housewives look nice!!!
And Cristina had some trouble and ended up bleeding out of her fallopian tube, where the baby implanted itself. And baby dies. Kind of a bummer. But Burke came back to see her. The most annoying part was when they were all sitting in Cristina's room and that awful voiceover starts with Meredith saying something inspirational like "You're gonna fall. But you'll be able to have your friends get you up again or something crappy like that...the woman lost her baby! You don't use your friends to get back from that!!! Sheesh.
Anyhoodles, still a guilty pleasure that I undoubtedly will keep watching, but they must lose the voiceover!!!
Will have CSI: Miami stuff up tomorrow...

J.J. Abrams is Dead to Me
They killed Vaughn. Insert knife here.
I'm trying to convince myself that nobody ever dies on Alias, they just go to live in Russia and be bad, but still. This is looking serious. And Michael Vartan is looking for work. *gasp* Okay, Jennifer Garner is dead to me. To quote that woman from EW "If you kill Vaughn because having him around the set makes you feel all icky, then you've lost my respect." Or something like that.
I just keep repeating to myself "No one dies on Alias. No one dies on Alias. No one dies on Alias." It's not working.
Check my other blog for a hilarious Alias list.
