Wow, finally, a post not about exalted.

TV commentary:

Royal Pains- Weird, was this ep supposed to be the real second ep instead of last weeks? But what's with all the Gossip Girl stuff? I mean, in the pilot, Hank's brother joked about having an orgy with the cast of Gossip Girl, but it did have Bex and Poppy Lifton, now this ep had Hazel (whom I saw was gonna be in an ep) and also Eleanor Waldorf. And they were at Nate's grandpa's house! Although that house (The Old Westbury Gardens) has been in multiple things, like these two shows, plus Cruel Intentions and a bunch of other movies. Its to rich tv/movie NYers like Torrance HS (used in Buffy, 90210, She's All That Movie, Not Another Teen Movie, Bring It On, etc) is to California tv/movie high schoolers.

Burn Notice- I've seen some disappointment on the forums that Moon Bloodgood isn't intimidating as some of Michael's other nemeses, like Bly, or Carla, or Tim Matheson's character. But I don't think she's supposed to be scary as them, she's a cop who doesn't know Michael's sitch, just that he seems to be around some big explosions and other questionable activity. She may threaten/endanger Mikey's family/friends (well, with jail time), but she can't do the sort of stuff these other folks have since she doesn't have the contacts or backing they do. I think it is supposed to be ineffective bluster- in a way, she can and can't "give as good as she gets". I mean, she's just a cop, but even just blindly stumbling around, she can cause huge problems for Michael and company. ( spoiler cut )

I love Leaky Hawk!

So my sources tell me Leighton Meester is in a sex tape. (Okay, by my sources, I mean the sites I usually peruse, like WWTDD and Warming Glow) The caps do look like her, but even though Sweet Knees was born in jail, I'm shocked she'd be involved in something so tawdry, salacious, and altogether lascivious!

Actually, I always thought eventually someone would claim a Leighton Meester sex tape but try to pass off some sex scenes with pr0n star Tori Black as her. I mean, the first time I saw her in something, I was all, "Woah, she totally looks like Sweet Knees!" Okay, the pics from their chickapedia entries look only a little more than vaguely similar, but if you look up Tori Black on freeones, there are a couple of links there where the resemblance is uncanny.

I was up all night shaving the truffle

Reading the last Pushing Daisies TWoP recap ever, I'm reminded of the non-sensicalness of Chuck's early life and parentage. ( spoiler cut )
