152 insights into my soul

The 10 Most Common Music Cues in Nerd Dom- This is actually a pretty accurate list. I'm kinda curious if the numbers are a rank. I mean, I guess that tick of mine to constantly make noise, "Power House" is definitely the second most song I subconsciously hum, the first being "Spanish Flea" of course.

TV commentary:

Dexter- Hmm, that was unexpected. ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Eureka- Series finale. Solid ending with reappearances by various characters, a few in-jokes, like the whole "I thought we had 6 more weeks?" Owel. I'm glad they managed to wrap things up satisfyingly given the constraints.

Degrassi- Season premiere. Heh, I'm curious what Chloe Rose's heritage is, because her eyes are, different. I mean, the new intro (I guess she's going to go all goth this year?) since she's sporting the black hair, at first I was all, "Wait, who's that Asian girl?" Anyways, wow, Drew is just an idiot. Granted, I can see how hard it can be to break up with Katie since she looked like a kicked puppy for most of this ep, but Bianca's way hotter (like how hot does she look in the intro?) and he shouldn't mess that up. That, and the new Bianca doesn't deserve such treatment.

Getting back to the intro, what's with them having Fiona and Drew hanging together? Have their story lines intersected at all? Oh wait, I guess there was the whole thing when she was interested in Adam, but I digress. I hope that isn't indicative of them getting together. Because what about Bianca and Imogen?

I'm not feeling the new hockey folks, but the new Christian girl is cute and amusing.

Lost Girl- Hmm, so Lachlan isn't a bad guy? And I wonder if that vision Bo had, if it was actually that shifter who attacks Trick, and not herself? Because they never showed them again this ep after Bo worker her mojo on it to get that ring Trick wanted. So the shifter would prolly be looking for revenge.

The Closer- A Provenza/Flynn mess up ep, so this one was more light hearted than the season premiere. And hey, its Sunny Maybrey. I disagree with clevemire, as I think she looks better as a blond, just like Jennifer Morrison and Emile De Ravin. iafgv('Its a fact!')

Seriously, what the eff is with this campus construction? Driving in is fine, but they've closed off more paths in central campus. Its like an effin maze, and I'm trying to just find a path to the student center so I can get some damn lunch. At least taco bell was open today. But they effed up my order. Like they couldn't conceive that I wanted the beefy melt burrito combo with the two crunchy tacos, and not the beefy box. So first, the cashier tries to charge me for the beefy box, and I point to the other combo. Then, she instead rings up the XXL grilled stuft burrito combo. I again try to explain, no, the beefy melt burrito combo. And she was all, "Oh, sorry, I get you!", and says she'll get the back to give me the right thing instead. And they give me the beefy box. Which, I know you're thinking, why don't you just quit now. But the combo they charged me for is more expensive then the beefy box. So not only would I have gotten the wrong thing, they would've charged me extra for it! So I finally get through to the lady, and they give me an extra crunchy taco to finally shut me up.

TV commentary:

The Closer- Ah, so Brenda's finally facing heat for one of the murders she set up over the course of the series. And she was playing the violins for herself all, "I work so hard and I'm unappreciated!" I think the problem is they can't really turn a blind eye to her knowingly getting a guy killed, regardless of her success rate! Sure, she didn't do it herself, but she know full well what was going to happen in those previous cases.

And the difference between what she did and the joint task force did was (and what she herself did as well later in the ep), she outright intended for the one guy to get murdered, that was her endgame. What the task force did was still suspect, hanging the one guy out to dry in the hopes they would catch their big fish doing something crazy that they could pick him up on. But at least there was the chance of catching the big fish on intent before anyone got killed. Like she and her team managed to do in the end.

I guess what most annoyed me was not owning up to it herself. Not admitting it to Raydor or Delk or Pope or whoever, fine. She doesn't want to lose her job. But does she really believe her hands are effin' clean?! But I digress, what's was up with that ending? ( spoiler cut )

True Blood- Aw, Bill and Jessica having the faux father-daughter moment was hilarious. And I know Pam is always stylishly dressed, but what the hell was up with that spiked leather jacket deal?

( spoiler cut )

Warehouse 13- Heh, I was amused when Pete goes to the bookstore, and Myka's there looking all bookish with the pulled back hair and the frumpy glasses (hey, she still looked hot). But then when she goes to meet them later, she changed her hair and makeup. Its like, what does she need to get all gussied up for. Of course, its good when they do stuff to hide her weird upper lip.

And the new guy, I can never remember which of the Ashmores is Iceman, and which is fake Jimmy Olson? Or are those both the same one?

Alphas- Checked out the first ep. Apparently to have super powers, you also have to have some mental illness/personality problem? Well, I guess strong guy doesn't have any of that, though since his powers are adrenaline based, he can't use them to often or he'll blow out his heart.

In any case, it seems like the show is trying to keep it "street level". Like sure they can do some crazy stuff, but it almost seems like its like the people on Stan Lee's superhumans, only slightly better. Autistic English Bones guy seems to be the only one with a power that's "out there".

TV Commentary:

The Closer- Interesting resolution to the whole new chief thing. ( spoiler cut )

OTH- Wow, this show is macabre. And I'm amused how the ep description ruined one of the "twists" of the ep. But before I get into that, wait, isn't Jamie like 7 or something? I found the whole thing about taking away his cell phone privileges weird, because who the frak is a 7 year old gonna call?!( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Secret Life- Seriously, who writes this show?! ( spoiler cut )

The Closer- Looks like the chief thing is out of the bag, thanks to Adrian's mom (how amusing, given I was just talking about SLoTAT. Also, her obvious ass kissing was totally hilarious. Was Brenda totally unaware of that?) I suppose some of the characters would have kids, have they mentioned Tao and Provenza having kids before? I mean Tao and his wife are certainly old enough to have some, and Provenza has been married enough times that surely he'd have offspring with one of them. ( spoiler cut )

So, Pajiba just came out with their annual 10 most bangable celebs on the planet: (Thankfully, they didn't add the tag "these are the celebrities you should want to bang", b/c that would've just pissed me off, and I would've been all, "Who are they to say who I should bang!" on here)

10) Zooey Deschanel

9) James McAvoy

8) Joel Mchale

7) David Tennant- Though didn't he just leave the Doctor Who franchise? Like what is he doing in 2010?

6) Rachel Weisz

5) Alison Brie- How hilarious that both halves of my favorite ship this past TV season are on this list? (Yes, Jannie even beats out Puckelberry, if only for their squee-worthy moment at the end of the season finale of Community! I know, I am such a fag)

4) Alexander Skarsgard- Heh, I'm amused Sporcle's name the TV show from the coupling quiz the other day pairs Sookie with him rather than Bill. But the previous season had her in a triangle with Bill and Eric, and now she has Alcide too? Like, what's with these chyx being romanced by both Vampires and Werewolves (like since Tyler's obviously a werewolf on Vampire Diaries, I'm sure he'll be in some triangle with a girl and a vampire). In any case, I can think of an easy solution to these girls' problems with having to choose between a couple of guys, if you know what I mean, and I think you do. ("heh.")

3) Joseph Gordon Levitt- I was amused by this TWoP article about the Inception cast's craziest dreams (I assume these are made up and not dreams the actual cast members had), with him dreaming doing 30 Rock (I always frickin accidentally say 30 Rock when I mean 3rd Rock From the Son) for the past 15 years, and the only movie he did was G.I.Joe would indeed be a nightmare. And a loss for us all, since Brick is still one of my all time favorite movies, and you know how much I love this scene from 500 Days of Summer.

2) Christina Hendricks- Heh, as the guy who did the write up for her in this article said, to many she's Joan from Mad Men, but like the author, she'll always be Saffron to me.

1) Timothy Olyphant

Hey, I just noticed there are more guys on this list than girls!

TV Commentary:

The Closer- Hey, nice to see Natasha Gregson Wagner is still getting work. I've always had a thing for her. And props to the show for having the murder weapon be a M110 SASS. Though while I'm pretty sure you can buy the weapon, I'm not sure if the civilian version has the suppressor. Though I guess some states (like GA), you're allowed to own suppressors with the right license, so maybe you can get it with the suppressor.

Of course, in real life, the suppressor wouldn't have silenced the shot to the point where no one would've realized someone was sniped until they found the body the next morning. Such devices quiet the shot only to the point where if you were the one not shot, it would be really difficult to tell which direction the bullet came from.

Almost caught up on the stuff on the DVR. Random TV commentary:

The Closer- ( spoiler cut )

Make It or Break It- Okay, I heard Candace Cameron-Bure (Or is it DJ? Has she had any other big role besides that?!) was on this show, and this was the first time I actually noticed her name in the credits, but the first two eps I did not realize she was the secretary/gf of the rich bitch's father. Funny, it wasn't until the rich bitch made a crack about CC-B's character's faith being important to her that I thought, "Wait, was she the secretary?" And then when she showed up, it was! What the hell, DJ looks totally different now! ( spoiler cut )

Degrassi- ( spoiler cut )

So I heard that the aunts heard from a seer that the Eight Days of Darkness is coming this week. (I thought it was only three when I younger) I thought it was supposed to take place after the Rapture? But anyways, you know, the righteous (wait, I thought those would all disappear during the Rapture, or was that just children? But whoever would be taken away would be so to spare them the coming horrors? Mebbe its people who are really good and the innocent, and this warning is going out to those who aren't good enough, but aren't exactly evil either) need to hole up in their houses and board up their windows and not let anyone in. Because darkness will envelop the world, and demons will walk the Earth and try to take the guise of people you know to be let into your house so they can kill you.

In any case, if it is the apocalypse this week, I'll be pretty pissed. I mean, I could complain about never having a threesome with a cute Asian chick with an English or Aussie accent and a blond-haired/green-eyed snowflake cutie, but what I would really be mad about is not seeing how BSG or Lost will turn out! And I think I would've like to have seen all the Harry Potter books made into movies.

TV commentary:

Monk- I'm guessing the intention was to gross people out with the whole hot dog thing, but all it did was make me crave a hot dog right now. With chili and cheese and onions and mustard. ( spoiler cut )

*****

( Psych )

******

Degrassi: Ah, so Leia is a former ballerina? I still don't buy Danny and Derek as star football jocks. I do find Riley's storyline interesting. In most of these shows, when you have a male character realizing he's gay, his closest confidant ends up being some chick who becomes his fag hag. I mean, he'll have male friends, but it'll be this whole thing where they're freaked out at first, but eventually come to terms with it. So the whole thing with Peter being his confidant is refreshing. ( spoilers )

*****

( Terminator: SCC )

*****

Dollhouse- I think this week's Dollhouse was better than last week. And with some of the stuff that occurs, makes me wonder why this wasn't the pilot? Oh, and what's with the brief appearance of Romo Lampkin? I mean, last week's Burn Notice, this past ep of Leverage, he's hard at work! ( spoiler cut )

*****

( The Closer )

Had pre-Lost dinner with the usual suspects at the Mellow Mushroom. The trainee waitress kinda looked like Jo/Denise from Scrubs.

Wasn't someone on the flist wanting a "Crucifctorious" T-shirt? I saw on popcandy that its at the NBC Universal store now.
