TV commentary:

Community/Parks and Recreation- Is it me, or is Parks & Recreation way more entertaining this season? And what's with the my-kind of corniness in tonight's eps of Community and Parks & Recreation? Not that I'm really complaining, because I'm lame like that. Oh, is it me, or is the neurotic chick played by Angel's son's wife on Mad Men pretty hot even when she looks all disheveled? ( spoiler cut )

Bones- Weird, Young Mary Winchester looks totally different in this. I mean, I at least kinda recognized her when she was on HIMYM. But I totally didn't recognize her here until I looked it up, I guess its because she doesn't have the 70s hair going on, and I thought she looked pretty cute with that hairstyle. Here she just looks like generic blond.

Fringe- Hmm, it seems like there were a few logical leaps they could've made in this ep to make thing easier. ( spoiler cut )

He'll be taking you on a spree. Ooh, shopping or killing?

Decided on a whim to use one of my free tickets to see Zombieland after work. It wasn't too bad. This might be a little spoilerish to say for those who know my views on zombie flicks compared to certain other people, but I like how the movie played out. I thought Emma Stone was a little weird looking in Superbad, but she was kinda cute in here.

TV Commentary:

Degrassi- Okay, ha, I just realized that last year's season premiere, it was Darcy leaving to do volunteer work in Africa (i.e. 90210), this time its Mia getting a huge modeling contract and moving to Paris (i.e. Vampire Diaries). Two Canadian cuties leaving the show to star in a CW teen drama, and they were both going out with Peter. But ha, I'm amused they actually referenced that fact that keeps happening to him.

And what's up with the new characters Declan and Fiona? Were they all, this Gossip Girl show is relatively popular, lets add a couple of rich kids like Chuck and Blair from GG or Sebastian and Kathryn from Cruel Inentions to Degrassi! They excuse it by saying their dad is a diplomat who's political affiliations (something about the education ministry?) make it so they need to attend public school instead of some fancy private school? What is it about uber rich siblings on these TV shows and movies that they have to make them seem somewhat incestuous?

Dollhouse- speaking of deviant rich people...( spoiler cut )

Stargate Universe- I haven't actually been watching this, though I do have it on in the background as I make this entry. Given the Voyager-esque premise, where a rag tag group gets stranded on an Ancient ship millions of light years away and need to find their way home, I was wondering how they were going to have guest spots from the old characters or have any interaction at all with Earth. But they get around that by using the crystal device that Daniel and Vala used when they did the body switch and first encountered the Ori. It also explains how they could have Lou Diamond Phillips as a recurring character on a show where people are stuck somewhere, through body switching. He's not with them, but since they do the Quantum Leap thing to represent who's who during the body switching, he can just show up and look like himself to the audience but be another character.
