You decided to kill us and leave our bodies in the woods?
Heh, I was reading an article that mentioned Woody Allen has cast Slumdog Millionare's Freida Pinto rather than his seemingly current obsession, Scarlett Johansson. And they were all, is he moving onto a younger chick now? But Freida is a month older than Scarlett!
TV Commentary:
On Secret Life, who goes to HS to sell $5 candy bars to raise money for underprivileged kids?! Yeah, its for a good cause, but your average high schooler doesn't have that kinda money to throw around! I did find find it hilarious when Molly Ringwald was trying to get Amy a job and the teenage hot dog manager was hesitant at first until she said it was for her daughter, at which point the manager was all "Daughter, huh? Sold!"
*****
On Kyle XY, is it me, or did Jessi did indeed look totally hot in the red dress? And is the show pushing Kyle/Jessi now? It almost seems like it. Hey, the poor girl deserves some happiness! How can you not feel sad for her when she finally sucked it up and tried to get Kyle and Amanda back together because the latter makes him happy in a way she never could? And then when they find out Cassidy might have done something to Sarah. Jessi was bawling, but at the same time, I think it was kinda a relief, because it meant Sarah didn't abandon her.

Okay, how predictable was NCIS? I mean, it was totally obvious the DHS guy (or rather, fake DHS guy) was a bad guy. As was the fact that Tony wasn't going to get any inheritance! Anyways, the assassin guy putting his cell phone number on the back of the DHS guy's card so they thought it was the DHS guy's was really clever, I thought.

Privileged- Who goes on wilderness expeditions?! Like out there with the bugs and dirt and allergens and psycho-killer-rapist-cannibals?! I dunno, if you're gonna spend money on some course, why not have it be something cool, like skydiving, or stunt driving, or CQB shooting? I mean, I'd much rather learn to drift a car or cut down on the time it takes to draw a .45 and do a quick two and one than sleep on dirt and walk around a forest feeling all dirty. But that's just me. But yeah, as soon as Sage talked about how she and Rose always go to Aspen, it was obvious Rose's new independent streak meant she was gonna do something else. But ha, I love how when her bf told her they were all worried about how her changing might mean she might not be the kinda girl who wants him as a boyfriend, instead of reassuring him, she's all, "That's entirely possible!"
Oh, and then when Luis first told Sage his parents weren't really in town, I was all, "Whoa, are they going the whole he doesn't approve of gay marriage route?" And they did. So they end up breaking up, as Sage said, "not for the reason people thought they would."
Because that's the reason Megan and Will broke up. Megan is all, he doesn't know what it feels like to earn something because things have always been handed to him, and he's all their relationship is too hard. So she's moping, but then when the boss gives him props for his work, he's all eggcited to tell her when he realizes they broke up. And heh, he finally does call, and it turns out she slept with some Brit guy at the wedding.
I still say the "we were on a break!" excuse is valid! And the previews last week showed Megan and Lily confronting their dad. Did they just cut that part out?

Okay, that was an amusing open to Leverage. I thought they were all doing their parts at first, I didn't realize they independently were trying to rob the place. Well, Nate knew they would do that. And I guess he was counting on it? I mean, his endgame only works if he knew he would have the rest of them to help him. And they weren't with him yet when he started his plan. But I guess that's his thing, things just work out.
Heh, when Eliot was on the date with Nate's wife and she kept on ragging on Nate, it was obvious she knew Nate was listening in. I still don't get why he didn't tell his wife that Locke's dad refused the pay out. Did I miss something in his explanation. He was all, he didn't want her to hate him, but why would Locke's dad being a dick cause her to hate him?
Anyways, while I do enjoy this show, the one problem is, on a show like this, if it looks like the bad guys are a step ahead of them and it looks like they're walking into a trap, its gonna turn out that was all part of the plan. I mean, look at last week, when they didn't know they were walking into a trap, they didn't show anything about the bad guys knowing what's what.
In any case, I had a feeling the plan was going to boil down to them making a deal with Romo to oust Locke's dad. Getting out of the cut, I know Mark Sheppard has been a bunch of stuff, and he's had done a lot of guest stints on shows I watch lately (Leverage, Burn Notice, Dollhouse), and Whedonites are likely to refer to him as Badger, but his BSG character name of "Romo Lampkin" is too cool to not refer to him as that. It also makes me thing of LA Confidential and Rollo Tomasi.
