downloading old Lost and Veronica Mars episodes from TiVo to tape. And, watching them all over again, predictably enough. 'Cause these two are some hella great shows.

Seriously. I'm still reeling from the fact that we were blessed with two new shows this good, and they were both picked up.

I'm still worried about Veronica Mars though. I mean, it's not on next week against TAR premiere, but after that? I could totally get pummeled, because target audience for the shows (from what I hear) is similar. And UPN has been known to cancel the shows for which they'd promised a full season before, e.g. Jake 2.0. I'm hoping that the excellent critical response to the show would help it through some hardship ahead, ratings-wise, much as it was with Arrested Development last season.

Now, Lost-- I don't think we have anything to worry about there. Thank Jebus.

Yes, I got that.

ack! sorry. when i read your post before i read DH as DDK. you are absolutely right about people who only use their native language in their homes.

Really? Huh. I guess the beta was set up by someone in Britain?

actually, nope. both admins are from Florida. i have no idea why they decided to go with GMT time. i think Artie explained it once, but i've since forgotten his reasoning.

I was rewatching "Confidence Man" today (oh, the hardship!), and in the scene where Sawyer reveals the truth story behind the letter, EL was very much out-acted by Josh Holloway.

i'm really annoyed with myself for not taping these episodes. i guess i need to dl them. i have the kiss scene dled from a Josh fan site. as for EL being out-acted by Josh, that really was his time to shine and he pulled that off with flying colors.

ugh. don't tell me that. i am adoring VM and can't wait to see where they're going with the Lilly stuff.

Veronica Mars is the best new show since, umm, wow. Something a really long time ago.

So. About that Lost. It's pretty cool, huh?

Sayid should totally steal Claire from Charlie. I will continue to say it.

I must admit I worry about Claire and the baby. If either or neither doesn't survive the childbirth, it could cause much in the way of HSQ.

Hell, even if they *nearly* do, it could be edge-of seat time.

But then again, some of us have been wondering about it since the first episode.

But now with the Charlie and Claire cuteness, they've added another component.

If Claire dies, I might have to stop watching the show. Because, in typical fashion, I have somehow ended up investing the largest portion of my emotional concern for the show in a character who gets far too little face time.

ETA: I think it's her incredibly pretty eyes. And her cute accent, even if it is fakish (I really can't tell.)

Actually, the actor is Australian -- when she was on Roswell she faked an American accent, IIRC.

Accents slay me. Hers is real, I believe, as she actually is Australian. Just like DDK is actually Korean.

Oh, and that chin wound is cute. And as cleolinda or someone pointed out, her use of the word "Thus."

I don't understand why they would kill her and the baby off, though. Otherwise why make her pregnant in the first place? It's her defining characteristic.

she is, indeed, Australian. i had no idea the entire time she was on Roswell. when i found out, i went back and watched a bunch of eps and still couldn't tell. except that she tended to over-exaggerate some words.

She has also grown from "pretty" to "sexy" in just a few years. Her face seems more expressive than I remember it being when she was on Roswell.
