TV commentary:

Now, I don't watch Mad Men, but how awesome was this scene from this past Sunday's ep:

Who knew Rory Gilmore had such sweet tits, pardon my french. Its like the most awesome thing Alexis Bledel has done!

Make It or Break It- Series finale. Owel, at least it ended it a satisfying point. I mean, we don't get to see the girls go to the Olympics, but we can just assume the US Women's Gymnastic's team wins overall, with at the very least Payson getting gold. I wonder if they knew the writing was on the wall, because they crammed a lot of resolution to the current storylines in- Coach Ray getting arrested being a pervy molester, Wendy's doping of Kaylie being discovered, showing who actually made the team, they even had Kaylie and Austin and Summer and Sasha get back together. I am glad they brought Kelly Parker back, because I think my favorite part of this season was Kaylie and Kelly becoming friends. (Wait, do people ship them? I have no idea what their portmanteau is, so I don't know what to search on on tumblr)

In any case, it was ridiculous Wendy basically threw away her Olympic hopes trying to frame Kaylie. It seemed like she was already better than most the rest of them, and the rankings showed that the only one who did better than her was Jordan. Its not like her position on the team was threatened. Way back in the beginning, it made sense for Lauren to be threatened by Emily, because they had initially established Lauren as very pretty and showy but not as technically proficient as Kaylie or Payson, but she was still top 3 after them. But then Emily threatened that since she was a better gymnast. Of course, later they retconned Lauren to being Queen of the Beam. But yeah, it seems dumb of Wendy to risk it all to take down someone ranked below her, even if they're a threat.

So instead, the 5 are the original 3 girls + Jordan, and then some random. It was kinda funny, because at the end they're in a huddle all "Yay, London Olympics!" and all I could think was, "Who the hell is that random!" Like she's trying to get into it too, even though she's prolly thinking, "Hey, close knit group of girls, I'm one of you too!"

Hart of Dixie- So Wade and Zoe finally get together. And then George has to eff it all up by being all, Lemon deserves someone who could get all of his heart and leaving her at the altar. Which I'm thinking is such a BS line, because its one thing to say to your heart belongs to another, that's fine. But to try and sugar coat it all, you're in my heart, but so is this other person. So wait, that implies you also have a piece of their heart. So they're saying you shouldn't want them because you can't have all of their heart, but apparently that's fine for this other person who has part of their heart too? Its like, be truthful, that means they can push you out for this person, something they can't do vice-versa. So don't try to make yourself sound better by being all, I love you both. Well, obviously not equally!

But I digress. So literally as Zoe and Wade are post-coitus, George shows up at her doorstep all, "I broke up with Lemon, let's go out tomorrow!" I guess its less that I want Zoe and Wade together (I mean, they are cute together), and more, the George/Zoe thing seems so out of the blue. The show started off with an obvious spark happening between the two of them, but then they ignored it for most of the season. Then a few eps ago, suddenly George is so interested in Zoe? Like I can believe George not wanting to be with Lemon because he got a taste of the big city when he was in NY, and doesn't want to be stuck in Bluebell the rest of his life, since Lemon is content with her life. But wanting to be with Zoe? Ah'm skeptical!

So Amy Pond digs Community and Inspector Spacetime:

I still say, anyone who doesn't think she's the hottest of the Doctor Who companions is insane. Though I guess to be fair, I never watched the old show, so maybe some of those other companions were like smoking hot back in the day. But she's easily the hottest of the new batch.


TV commentary:

Hawaii Five-O- Now that I've actually seen last night's ep. 1) Oh, I'm so sure Kono's going to die. So instead of Billy Baldwin having his henchman put a bullet in her head, he just has him push her overboard?! I mean, I know her hands and feet were bound and all, but unlike getting shot, this is something she could easily and conceivably escape (on TV, that is) 2) Shellburn's identity wasn't that big a surprise. Rule #63 of TV dramas, if a parent dies under mysterious circumstances when one of the main chracter's was a kid, they're not really dead.

Eureka- Hey, Alli's fit. But really, the Zane-Carter switch, could Carter have handled that any more badly? I can understand him not revealing himself when he switched with Fargo, because he didn't want Vizzini thinking Fargo was nuts. (Although given the nature of Eureka, you'd think they could explain they switched bodies and he would've easily believed them! As Wallace Shawn said, he was troubled that they did decide to lie over something that's completely understandable and out of their hands) But I digress, why the hell did he not tell Jo about the body switching when she hopped in the shower with him-as-Zane, instead of blowing her off? Also, I'm amused Zane thought was Carter did was worse, because he thought he was just dreaming when he was in bed with Alli. Why would he say that? Because shouldn't Jo be all, "Oh, so if Allison is acting all sexy in a dream to you, you're going to try and nail her?!"

Also, was Zane always this conceited? And what the frick?! So when Allison and Carter switch, Jo for some reason decides to go to Carter to clear the air and relieve the tension between them by saying they should just admit they have thought about hooking up so they can get past it. But could Allison as Carter telling Jo "No way!" sound any more rjv('Cold blooded!') And Jo actually seemed hurt by this! And then they zoomed in on her reaction when Carter proposed to Allison. They're not really seriously going down this love-square route, are they?

And what the hell is a potato ring?! Oh, nm, rewinding, they were beer battered curly fries. I guess he just meant it was a ring made out of potato. For a minute there, I thought that was a thing. Like onion rings, only potato. And now I have a hankering for a bbq bacon bleu-cheeseburger.

TV commentary:

Bones- You know, I totally forgot about this jack-ass and his ridiculous methods of spreading computer viruses that can do anything he wants. It was annoying lawyer lady actually had to spell things out for Angela at the end. Like how hard is it to understand if they cover things up, that'll just get them kicked off the case and unable to help Brennan? I mean, the Sweets thing was ridiculous, its like, could he make himself look any more biased?

Owel, I understand why Bones ran in the end, but why the hell did she take her daughter with her?! Because you know what's great to have when you're on the run and trying to stay off the grid? A friggin baby! And its not like Christine had nothing, she would have her father! I suppose it would be harder for Booth to prove her innocence if he's busy taking care of a baby, but you know what he has that Bones does not, a whole slew of people who could help him take care of the baby!

TV commentary:

Glee- Holy cow, the first hour was just so friggin amazing. It was funny, and engrossing, and emotional. This is why still watch the show when so many people have given up, because yeah, half of the time now its full of ridiculous, sometimes offensive BS, but when the show does good, it hits out of the friggin park. I mean, I was just expecting a funny body swap episode. And those first 20 minutes were hilarious! But then the switcheroo was done with they had all that stuff with Bieste and Puck and Tina getting her due and helping Rachel convince Carmen Tibideaux to possibly give her another chance. (Heh, they act like Tina will be the club lead "next year", so I'm holding them to that. It would be kinda assy of the show if next season she isn't head of the glee club at Mckinley.) Its cool that Tina finally got a plot, and I'm glad they did re-address the Bieste thing and she left her husband. (Of course, if there is one complaint about that, its that they continue with the trend where the chyx on this show need a guy to "save" them. The girls and Coach Sue and Roz weren't enough to convince Bieste to get out of her abusive relationship, but seeing Puck feeling like crap and being there for him is enough to snap her out of it?)

But weird, they actually had ND go first during Nationals? And wait, were the non-ND Troubletones girls (cool, the Mack is back!) on the bus? Or the jazz band? Or did they make their way to Chicago some other way? Also, I'm kinda amused that they end their performance with Rachel and Finn singing lead on "Paradise By The Dashboard Light".

Speaking of, guess I was totally off on the song order. I didn't expect them to start with the Troubletones number (Edge of Glory). But obviously Rachel's version of "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" would be the middle number then, because you don't end with that. And after hearing "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" a few more times, I guess it is a pretty strong number to end on.

The choreography on VA's numbers was pretty tight, and Unique was a really strong lead, I liked the verses, but I wasn't too keen on how they handled the choruses though. Truthfully, New Directions just sung their songs better. Vocal Adrenaline's strength lay on one really strong lead, backed up by really good dancers, but I've always felt ND should get props for being a truly ensemble group with so many good singers. While the dancing is part of the performance, its still a SINGING competition.

But ha, random not-VA or ND group did Starlight Express. I don't know why I'm always amused by references to Starlight Express. Maybe because it was performed on rollerskates and it was about trains or something? And aw, Jesse St James secretly talked up Rachel for Miss Tibideaux.

Now, given half the members were going to graduate, I knew they had to win Nationals. (If it wasn't obvious ND was going to win already, the fact they gave Unique the MVP award sealed it, because that way ND gets to be champions, and Unique still gets to be a poster child for the different) But ngl, my breath still hitched when they were getting ready to announce the winner. I'll also admit the coming back to school sequence was pretty heartwarming. And ha, Will finally got to bang Emma because of the ND win! Heh, what was up with the random mysterious Rachel fan who asked her to sign her yearbook?

And wow, you really can't please everyone- Brittany and Santana get another kiss, and the Klaine fans are all, how come Kurt and Blaine don't get a kiss? Of course, when they focus on Klaine, the Brittana fans say the Klainers always get everything. Of course, whenever the straight couples (like the so-called Finchel) have their PDA, the Klainers and Brittanans are all the straight couples get to make out all the time, but the gay/lesbian couples only get hugs and looks.

And I know Will is a main character and all, but it is still ridiculous he got Teacher of the Year, because they established previously he was a lousy teacher in the Ricky Martin episode. I mean, yeah, he was inspiring to the Glee club, but what about the rest of the school?
