That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The OC: I didn't realize that the Caleb actor has a pilot. However, the Hailey actor has one for Fox therefore, I don't think that character will be back.

I liked the way that they killed Caleb. Also, I think that next year having Julie Cooper out and about all with her own money , not having to answer to anyone, could be alot of fun. I couldn't tell who it was shooting in the promo.

What is even happening?

But I know I could reasonably be the parent of a ten-year-old already. There are people I was in high school with who have kids in high school now. I'm good with that. I know I'll be a middle-aged parent of a high schooler, but not everyone is.
I'm not saying it is unrealistic. I am saying it is depressing to watch someone I best remember as the ingenue, play the mother.
I've read more tha one print magazine (I say print, because I have higher fact-checking standards for these than for online works) that claim Melinda Clarke is 32. Or, let her claim it.

She could be, but I bet they're letting her claim it. Imdb lists her d.o.b. as April 24, 1969. Her father was a soap opera actor, so there are probably soap fans (usually obsessive by nature--speaking from experience) who remember her birth. Her father was on Days of Our Lives for decades, playing Mickey Horton. She was on DoOL from 1989-90.

Current Favorite names of horses that may be running in the Preakness:

Scrappy T
Afleet Alex
Galloping Grocer

I mostly like the name Afleet Alex because Alex is my brother's name. I'm kind of torn between Galloping Grocer and Scrappy T as to which is my favorite name.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

That is what professional horse-racing needs: more whimsy.

Actually, I think a lot of sports could benefit from more whimsy. This is why I advocate for more streakers at sports events, especially if they paint their naked (or, if they're modest, be-thonged) bodies with pointless slogan. Triple points if it is the players who tackle them instead of the security staff!!

Yes, I watch ESPN highlight reels for just such an eventuality. No, this would not work nearly as well for hockey or curling.

Does anyone here watch Without a Trace? 'Cause I'm dying to discuss the stupidness of last night's episode.

I can talk about it tomorrow -- after I watch my tape of it.

Cool. Sorry...didn't mean to ruin it for you. You may love it! Then we can compare/contrast. (Can you tell I'm writing end of the semester essays?)

I thought it was kind of stupid. Or, self-indulgent. Flatmate blurted, 20 minutes into it, "This is very clumsy, isn't it?" That was when we both twigged it was all in Jack's head. Which, lame.

Yeah, when it all started falling apart (I think about 20 minutes before the end), I looked at Emily and said, "This better end up being a dream, 'cause otherwise, it's the worst hour of television known to mankind." And, the thing is, it was written and directed by series creator. I guess, due to Joss, I've come to expect more from a creator.

I believe you were not evil.

Is this to imply that I am now?!!

I think I could live with that.

"s" is for spoiler font, so I use it happily. Though I guess no one was complaining.

Waay overslept.
