Wednesday night TV commentary:

South Park: This whole imagination storyline has me curious if its a dig at shows like Family Guy and Robot Chicken with the random and obscure character references. Like, they're thinking, let's have an ep where we just have tons of random TV and movie references.

The Sarah Silverman show: Not a comment on the ep per se, but I know [livejournal.com profile] clevemire and someone else have expressed disappointment that Laura Silverman isn't as hot as she sounded like she supposed to be doing voice work on Dr. Katz, but I still find her kinda attractive. (was young Laura being played by Molly from Heroes?)

Bionic Woman: Yeah, I know Michelle Ryan is really British, so I find it hysterical that this whole ep was just one big excuse to drop her American accent and talk in her native accent under the guise of pretending to be a Brit. I was particularly amused when she would keep using the accent when no one was around, and Herc's all, "Why are you still using the British accent?" But he is correct in saying that its the hottest thing evar! Okay, its prolly not the hottest thing ever, but British (and Aussie) accents on chyx is up there in terms of hot things.

Pushing Daisies: Last night's Pushing Daisies had more singing! (This time, They Might Be Giants' "Birdhouse in Your Soul") Not as long as Kristen Chenowth's rendition of "Hopelessly Devoted to You" from a couple of eps ago though, so I guess that some consolation for those who don't like that sort of thing. (why not?!) I forgot Sylar's mom is another musical person, having played Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors. So I guess if Kristen gets to sing, Ellen Greene does as well.

The rest of the commentary, cut for spoilers )

Actually, the references I just made under the cut have me curious. So its poll time! (Its a ticky box, so you can pick multiple ones:

[Poll #1077259]

Gossip Girl: recap, cut for spoilers )

In WO, still haven't gotten Lu Bu's PI yet. It seems un-possible, but people have done it in 1p! I'm disappointed that I'm not good enough to be one of those people. I accept that I prolly can't beat really hard games like the ps2 version of Shinobi, or Contra: Shattered Soldier, or the original Ninja Gaiden on the X-box, but if there was one game I was really, really good at, its the DW/SW/WO series. I mean, I've never not been able to accomplish the requirements for the 4th or 5th weapon in those series' games.

more WO-stuff, under the cut )

Wednesday night TV commentary:

Pushing Daisies: What's with all the cleavage in the second ep? Its still cute and quirky, but maybe a little too cute and quirky for its own good. (The show, not cleavage!) Other than that, not much to say. Well, mebbe a little something more. cut for spoilers )

Bionic Woman: Weird, its Andy from Kyle XY playing a bitchy rich-brat. Nice slutty school girl outfit! Anyways, spoiler talk. )

Gossip Girl- Ah, this episode highlighted why I prefer Blair over Serena, and its not because I think Sweet Knees is hotter. (Even though she is) As an aside, at dinner, [livejournal.com profile] clevemire asked me whenever I bring up "Sweet Knees", am I referring to Leighton Meester or Christine Lakin. Well, the easy answer, giving I'm usually using the term when talking about Gossip Girl, is I'm talking about the former. But the long TV-geeky answer is: On Veronica Mars, the name Sweet Knees came up during the PTA inquiry because they found an e-mail between Mr. Rook and an "SK". Since Leighton's character name was "Carrie Bishop", she lied and claimed it stood for "Sweet Knees", because he liked seeing her in knee socks. spcv('Nice!') Of course, SK actually stood for Susan Knight, played by Christine Lakin of Step by Step fame. So its not like she was a Sweet Knees. In any case though, I would refer to Christine as that "Step by Step" chick anyways. I know, you're thinking, weren't there 3 chicks on that show? Four if you count Suzanne Somers. But she of course will always be "Chrissy from Three's Company" or "Ab-roller chick" (or whatever ab exercising device she endorses) or if you really want to be obscure, "She's the Sheriff". Anyways, its like, the brunette daughter hasn't done anything since Step By Step, and the other daughter was played by Staci Keanan, who would be "My Two Dads chick". Amusingly enough, I get her name mixed up with Stacy Keach a lot, which is prolly an even more insane mix-up than Rip Taylor and Rip Torn (is that his given name? Because what are the chances?)

But I digress. spoilerish commentary )
