Yeah, ER seemed to have way more people in peril than usual. The last one I remember with this many people down was the one with the possible smallpox, where Abby and Carter had been majorly exposed, and just about everyone else except Kerry was minorly exposed, and that was the same episode where Romano lost his arm. But this time, we've got what? Jerry possibly dying, several other people with more minor gunshot wounds, Abby maybe hemoraging, Luka's still tied to the bed and intubated but seems like he's breathing well enough now that he'll be OK until someone finds him, and Sam in the van with now-crazy ex. Plus, both Kerry and Luka somewhat threatened with being fired. Did I miss anything?

No capes!

Off Topic Man is immune to cape mishaps.

It says so here.

t waves the hem of his cape at Juliana, in as manly a way as such things can be done

I am so restless, and nothing is making me happy. I hate that. I'm having tea now in hopes that it will help.

I know you have all been waiting. Here it is. The official Gus pronouncement on the 2005-6 TV season.

Veronica Mars.

Everyone else should have stood home. The good news? If your life has felt vaguely unsatisfying for the last twelve-month, you may be relieved to know that it was not you. It was The Tube.

Hi, Gus!

If your life has felt vaguely unsatisfying for the last twelve-month, you may be relieved to know that it was not you. It was The Tube.

Movies, too. The last movie I saw in the theaters was (I think) Thank You for Smoking, and before that it was Goblet of Fire. Those, and Good Night and Good Luck, are about it for the past seven months or so.

Apparently I missed a dirty joke, anyone care to fill me in? They're kind of my stock in trade.

I had missed it. Ewwwwwww.....

They won't even let me look at those shoes. You have no idea how much of the internet is missing when the IT department refuses to update the Flash plugin.

I feel your pain, but fortunately I am at home today, so saw the shoes and the tights. I could seriously see wearing the shoes, but would pass on the tights. I love drinking real coffee, and the caffiene makes me pass on that more often than I would like. I'm not about to get caffiene in a non-flavored way and further reduce my caffienated lattes!

The Unit: Mamet needs to scrape his name off that offal as quickly as possible.

He seems to be actively involved with the show. He wrote the episode I found particularly horrifying. His sister writes for the show, too.

Movies, too. The last movie I saw in the theaters was ...

I'm embarrassed to say: The Butterfly Effect

It cured me of theaters.

Timelies all!

I'll have to partially agree with Gus. I've been basically disappointed with the stuff I watched on TV this past year, and that =includes= Veronica Mars. The only show I've been watching that hasn't disappointed me is Doctor Who.

(waiting to see if Gus, or anyone for that matter replies)

Ok, I have the lurve for the New Season 1 Doctor.

Veronica had some slow arcs, I'll grant you. Compare it, though, to the who-gives-a-honk-who-dies of Lost.
