I tried Alias again last night. Still don't get it.
Also, I have never made it through an episode of Veronica Mars.
But I do love The O.C.
The thing is, I have this terrible habit of starting to watch shows as they're runnign downhill -- e.g., I'm finally starting to watch Gilmore Girls, and my general impression from TWoP is that the show is in its decline. I started watching Charmed in S5, The Amazing Race this season. So I'm sure that in about four years, I'll turn on Veronica Mars or Desperate Housewives and be like, "Why didn't anyone FORCE me to watch this before?!?!?" and everybody else will be like, "Oh, it used to be so much better." And I will be depressed.
Dude, I totally got a friendster request just the other day! From someone with whom I have had no contact in years and years. Bizarre.

Sadly, they haven't gotten to the part where
Rick Yune whispers into Sydney's ear
yet.
Also -- it looks like we've got new eps of
The O.C.
for the next two months!
Gilmore Girls was watchable for me at the end of last season, and the start of this one, in a way it's never been before. This of course doesn't mean it isn't getting worse -- it just means I don't care, so nyah.
I like to give shows a shot at the start -- if the concept grabs my eye, two or three eps, to be sure, unless the pilot smacks me around and asks for money. Then I get into an inertia issue, which is sort of where I am with VM.
Oh, another shot of
Rick Yune
!

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
I tend to forget when things are on the air, is my problem. And before got cable, my reception was so crappy I rarely went through the hassle of getting stations to come in unless I already knew I loved the show.

Oh, really. I had kind of liked it, but when she went to college, it was so bad I couldn't take it any more.
