We built chip city from all your dough

TV commentary:

Alcatraz- Not much to say about this show. It was okay, very Abrams-ish. And the main chick was played by white supremacist guy's daughter from season 2 of SoA (amusingly enough, she's dating Juice in real life), who I always thought was pretty cute, so that's good. She has really nice blue eyes, and those aren't the only nice globes she has! ("heh.") The mystery is interesting enough, though not as compelling as previous Abrams shows, but it did have an interesting twist or two.

Gossip Girl- You know, I should really quit this show, because its not going to end the way I want it, so why put myself through the torture? Its just the writers are so good at teasing the possibility. But they're backing the wrong horse. I mean, it says something that this ep was supposed to be about Chuck and Blair, with her ridiculous deal with god, but it was Dair that ended up trending.

But I digress, speaking of said deal, I thought it was random that Chuck almost got hit by that cab. Then it turned out to be hilarious when we find out later that Blair was looking out the window at the time, thinking about her "I'll marry Louis if you keep Chuck alive and safe" deal.

Its kinda B-S that she's thinking only about Chuck and Louis, when Dan has been by her side the whole time, the one she relies on, who loves her despite all she'd done to him and knowing all her dirty secrets. Why would she want to be with the nice, devoted guy who shares her passions when she can be with the Prince who doesn't trust her, or the bad boy who when they get together its just toxic?! WTF.

I swear, I don't care if they get together and the writers ruin it later, as long as they get together at some point. I mean, they can't tease all this between them and have nothing come of it! At least give the audience Blair admitting things aren't so one-sided! I will be majorly pissed if he never gets together with her and gets over his unrequited crush with Serena of all people. Because I can see why people are for Chuck and Blair, because at least he is trying to make an effort to be a better man for her. Its convenient that Serena is suddenly all so in love with Dan again now that he only has eyes for Blair!

As for the Charlie Rhodes thing, hold up! The impression I got was Carol hid true Charlie away, so she wouldn't get involved in the UES, and that real Charlie was unaware about the whole ordeal. But she's been at Julliard this whole friggin time?! I call shenanigans. I mean, she seemed legitimately unaware who Lily was, and if she really was trying to avoid that part of her life, she wouldn't respond to her name. So that points to her being clueless of her mother's plan. But she had to know she was from a rich family, because she knew Serena when they were kids. So even if her mom did cut off ties with that side of the family, she should be aware they are rich and from NY, and as such should known they're from the UES.

And even if she didn't know they were from the UES, Ivy as Charlie was all over GG! I can understand her being unaware if she was random working class waitress, but she's at friggin Julliard. Surely she'd bump into people there who would be aware of the goings on in the UES and even if they didn't know Charlie was actually related to Serena's family, they'd be all, "Hey, there's this rich new debutante with the exact same name as you!" and point Ivy out to real Charlie. And she might be amused, but then you'd think seeing a Charlie Rhodes with a girl named Serena with a mom named Lily would make her think, what a weird koinky-dink, I have a cousin Serena and Aunt Lily! (and I'm pretty sure they had Carol in a few of the society pics with her family, so she'd be all, "wait a minute, that's my mom with those people!") It does not make sense!

And ha, that resolution to the Blair pregnancy is kinda hilarious. "Oh no, I lost the baby in the crash. But more importantly how is Chuck doing?"

TV commentary:

Glee- I'm amused the "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", Rach, Tina, Mercedes, and Santana were imagining their loves. Heh, I'm amused for the other girls, it was the first time they ever saw their loves' faces (supposedly), but the memory we see in Tina's head of is her and Mike already together. I'll give them Finn and Rach possibly had a moment like that way before Glee (I'm a little skeptical, given she seemed to just notice him in the pilot when he was blackmailed into joining) and Santana and Brittany (which if the scene is to be believed, then San and Brits weren't friends since childhood then?), but Sam and Mercedes? They knew each other for a while before they even considered dating! Ah'm skeptical they saw each other that way right at the beginning!

Will had adult friends way back in Acafellas, and I would say he and Burt are friends, but he frickin' asks Finn to be his best man if he ever does get married?! ccv('Inappropriate!')

So apparently they've cast Rachel's dads on Glee. Alas, one of them is not Taye Diggs, even though it would have been amusing given her mum is Idina Menzel. Though, and how do I say this without coming off as totally gay (or I guess even more gay than I'm already coming off given I'm talking about casting on Glee), I suppose he would've been too hunky for the part. (You know what I mean, like what would he be doing slumming it in Lima?) Maybe a little young? (Though her mom is Idina, but I suppose as a surrogate, she would've been younger than Rachel's dads) I figured they'd want to get someone special for her dads, and other than him my only other ideas were like Jesse Martin or Wayne Brady or I guess that guy from Spin City. (and I had no ideas for who her white dad could be played by, though it sounds like some wanted Captain Jack Harkness) Again, maybe I was thinking too young given who the actual choices ended up being.

So who's the show going with, if the rumors are to be believed? ( spoiler cut )
