152 insights into my soul

TV commentary:

Veronica Mars- So, that happened. ( spoiler cut )

The other thing that's annoying about having a jillion shows Tuesday night is having a jillion posts to try and make the next day. Granted, I don't have to post about all these shows, but I can't help it.

TV commentary:

Glee- 100th episode! ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

The Following- Okay, I caught the beginning part that I missed, so a few more comments. Well, one that doesn't have to do with the parts I missed. Re-watching it, I really like Emma's new look now that I've seen it more. Particularly when she's dressing all punk in hoodies. She's back to being wicked mad cute like when she was Wallace's GF Jane on Veronica Mars. (What was he thinking!? And Jackie ended up dumping his ass after prom and going back to her secret teen mom life!)

Oh, and I apparently missed Keith Carradine in the beginning, so Lundy, Prado's wife, and Zach? What's with all the Dexter alums? It goes without saying I don't trust Keith Carradine's character either. ( spoiler cut )

Again, I'm still up in the air on whether I still want to watch this. I was checked out by the end of last season, but I didn't dislike this ep. I guess what really annoyed me about the show last season was they'd get close to catching Joe, but then someone would randomly end up being a secret bad guy. Maybe if they cut down on that I may keep watching.

TV commentary:

True Blood- HA, I totally knew Holly's sons were gonna try and put the moves on Adilyn Braelin Charlaine Danika. ( spoiler cut )

Falling Skies- Huh, I never realized Hal was swimming in ass. I mean, Clark's teleporter wife, young Sand Serif/movie Princess Yue, and Logan's witness daughter jailbait gf? ( spoiler cut )

Here's one of my favorite things Cory Monteith did, which is surprisingly not Glee related:



I still find it hilarious I didn't realize that was him as young Mitchell until long after he started Glee.

So the latest VM news has me disappointed- they unfortunately couldn't get Leighton Meester back since she's filming something on the other side of the country at the same time. So, they've recast Carrie Bishop with the lead singer of Twin Sister, Andrea Estella. Which is weird, because its not like she was a major character, so why bother having her in the movie at all if they couldn't actually get Leighton? You can't cast another girl as Sweet Knees!

So I saw this vid of Ashley Greene and Olivia Wilde making out on my tumblr dash. I can't remember where I saw the trailer for this movie ("Butter"), but I didn't realize Ashley Greene was in it, and that the movie would have Olivia Wilde seducing her. I mean, I don't think its a major plot point, but like how do you not put that in the trailer? That's gold right there! Also, Ashley Greene is supposed to be Phil Dunphy and Jenny Garner's daughter? I guess Ashley could be playing a teen, and I guess Haley on Modern Family is 18 or thereabouts, so I could believe him as her father, but Garner is too young/Greene too old to play mother and daughter.

So I actually haven't seen any of the leaked early pilots yet, because apparently I've been replaced by a doppleganger. clevemire mentioned Autumn Reeser looking all hot in the pilot for Last Resort (which also includes Jessy Schram, Dichen Lachman, and some Aussie chick). I always like seeing her in stuff. Which brings me to my Top 4 (I couldn't figure out a 5th) favorite TV actresses who've done a bunch of guest spots, sometimes being a recurring character or one of the secondary credited cast members, but never the starring role:

1) Amy Acker (hey, this is the second list I've put her on in as many days!)
2) Autumn Reeser
3) Larisa Oleynik
4) Alona Tal

I dunno, I just get particularly egg-cited when they show up on a show, even in a guest capacity. Of course, my list title is inaccurate, because Larisa is Alex Mack, so she was the star of that show being the title character, but old shows on Nick don't count! But I would say Winifred Burkle and Taylor Townsend were "secondary" characters on Angel and the OC, respectively.

Huh, so I'd been seeing promos for that new "Don't Trust the B in Apt 23", and it seemed interesting enough, particularly since James Van Der Beek was playing himself. But, I guess since Traffic Light is dunzo, my cousin's husband is producing that now. And since it comes on right after Modern Family, I have no excuse not to support the family and watch it. I mean, what else am I going to do during that half hour between Modern Family, and whatever show comes on at 10pm (Psych, SVU, Southpark)

But the "B" is played by Krysten Ritter (VM's Gia Goodman, though you may remember her as Lucy on Gilmore Girls, or as gothy landlord lady on Breaking Bad, or chick flicks 27 Dresses and Confessions of a Shopaholic) who I was always strangely attracted to. But its funny, because all the commercials focus on her or the Beek, but from the show description it sounds like Dreama Walker (Gossip Girl's Hazel, although you may know her as one of Clint Eastwood's A-hole grandkids in Gran Torino) is the other major character. FYI, she was my next favorite of Blair's minions after Penelope on GG S1.

Cool, just caught the trailer for BSG: Blood and Chrome, which takes place after Caprica but before BSG. Basically, it follows young Adama during the first Cylon war. Alas, given the bad taste left in many fans mouths by the BSG luddite BS ending, and the failure of Caprica, this show is being demoted to a webseries.

Which kinda sucks, because this looks totally bad-ass! I mean, its the first Cylon war, so gigantic space battles, humans fighting hulking cylon death machines. I watched Caprica all the way through, and while I thought it was passable entertainment, it was kinda boring. Its like gee, I wonder what people would rather see, space dogfights and soldiers fighting robots, or an hour of boring religious, social, and political commentary? Caprica even had the friggin Matrix in it, and they squandered that potential! I'm sure if you had more of Zoe kicking ass in there (particularly when she started becoming god there), more people would've tuned in.

So, a few posts ago, I did a Top 50 Favorite Hot Chyx list. Now that I've had time to ruminate, using that list, I came up with a top 10 list that's actually ordered and everything. ( cut for brevity )

So, the mean age of this group is 26, which actually meshes with the whole your age divided by 2 plus 8 rule. So maybe I don't show a preference for chyx who are way too young for me. I would go so far to say I like girls of the appropriate age for me!

But breaking it down again, I noticed they're all snowflakes, mostly brunettes, with just two red heads and no blonds. Well, unless you count Odette Yustman as Latina, and technically Olivia Wilde and Emma Stone are natural blonds, they just dye their hair to a color that works way better for them. clevemire jokingly(?) commented I need to come up with 250 girls to get better data. But alas, I've only come up with 164 so far. The problem with shooting for a particular number though, is at least when I was just coming up with girls off the top of my head, I could trust I really found them attractive. But if I have to think of 86 more girls, I might just be naming them to fill the spots.

TV commentary:

Warehouse 13- Wow, what a way to end the season. ( spoiler cut )

So I apparently over-estimated the number of classes I needed to get my management and supervisory certificate, and the last class I needed was today. So, I got a shiny plaque after class for completing the required number of classes!

TV commentary:

HIMYM- So I had heard they were finally gonna reveal the slutty pumpkin chick this season. Which some are pissed about, because why now, if she's not the mother? Eh, I can roll with it. But today they leaked who they cast to play her! You have to live under a rock to not have heard it, but I'll add a spoiler cut, just in case. ( So the slutty pumpkin is... )

Gossip Girl- In addition to the above HIMYM spoiler, heard some spoilers for Gossip Girl which are dashing my Dair-loving heart. ( a cut, but more for silly ranting than actual spoilers. )

Glee- An intro to the new characters:



As I've said before, I find Sugar kinda cute (and that ass!). And even her bad singing was kinda cute. Of course, one thing that baffles me are the comments about where is Sam? I understand I'm a big TV watching geek, so I know a lot of stuff the average viewer doesn't know. But there are times where I'm just incredulous at the questions people who purport to watch the show ask! Where's Sam?! They effin said it in the beginning of the ep! He moved! Did you even watch the episode?!

Also ridiculous? Those few people who hate Sugar because they found the whole Asperger's thing offensive. The show wasn't making fun of people who have Asperger's, it was making fun of all those people who claim they have Asperger's to explain away their awkwardness and try to sound all special and act like it gives them free reign to act like an a-hole. I'm sure people with actual Asperger's have a really hard time, and I do feel sorry for them. I just think there are people who claim they have Asperger's and its total BS! Honestly, if you're cognizant enough to self diagnose yourself with Asperger's, then you prolly don't have Asperger's.

Criminal Minds- Not bothering with a spoiler cut, because if you watch this show at all, you knew JJ back was back at the end of last season, and you can't not have heard that Prentiss was coming back this season. On the one hand, I'm glad they got the show back to normal. It was a huge misstep last season trying to get rid of them. Actually it seemed like they took back a lot of moves they made with the series last season. They canceled the spin-off, and brought back JJ and Prentiss after coming up with elaborate ways to write them off- JJ having to take a forced promotion and the whole Prentiss secret spy past and them faking her death.

But now things are back to the way they were. Which is good, but I do feel sorry for Rachel Nichols in all this. She never had a chance to be really accepted given the way the show unceremoniously tried to get rid of two beloved characters. And now that they're back, she got the boot. I still don't know what the hell the TPTB were thinking. It didn't seem like the show was hurting in the ratings that they need a shake up. Even if it was, that was a kinda dumb way to change things up. Its like, I know, lets get rid of the two hot chyx! If it ain't broke don't fix!

So, after having Party Down sitting around for about a year or two, I've only now gotten around to checking it out. And its a pretty hilarious show!

Also, I did not know Rob Thomas was one of the minds behind this, hence all the Veronica Mars alum on this. I mean, it stars Vinnie Van Lowe and Dick Casablancas, but I totally forgot Adam Scott was Mr Rooks (who did not bang the babealicious Sweet Knees, but did knock up the daughter on Step By Step that wasn't Suzanne Summers), and Jane Lynch also played a character named Mrs Donaldson. So Lizzie Caplan and Haverchuck were the only two of the main cast members who weren't on VM, but they were both on Freaks and Geeks.

But yeah, its like a who's who of VM on this thing. Just in the first four eps I saw Keith Mars, Logan Echolls, Meg Manning, Dean O'Dell and Mercer the Hearst rapist. (Speaking of VM alum, apparently Wallace's cute former gf is gonna be in the next Twilight movies with ultra short hair that I don't like at all?)

Overall, I like the show so far, its a shame I put it off for so long.
