Speaking of LOST, I have nothing pretty to wear to the party. hmph.

I think disliking Stargate is immensely less confusing than the degree to which people from whom I'm not estranged adore Veronica Mars.

It's just taste in TV. As long as you're not proselytising or getting my shows cancelled, or forcing me to listen to your opinion I don't really care.

Bear Naked all natural granola:

I have nothing pretty to wear to the party.

Hey, at least you get to be pretty. Last year I had a fat lip. This year, at least the scratches should be fading, but probably not the bruises.

I don't get the Veronica Mars thing at all. It did nothing for me. It was like midgit porn that way. Some people are really into it and I bear them no ill will, but if it was the only thing on television, I'd just go read a book or take a nap.

I'd just go read a book or take a nap.

I'd watch for the bits with Logan emoting. Oh, okay, I do watch for the bits with Logan emoting. Also because I have a compulsion to know. Sometimes things become uninteresting to know as well as to watch (like Desperate Housewives). Most of what I watch falls into one or both of those categories of interesting.

So tune out, ita. Stargate sucks.

Any fifteen minutes of Comedy Central is more original.

You know what's better than I expected? (ita, avert your eyes) - egg salad on reduced fat Triscuits. I have no actual bread, so that was my substitute. Pretty tasty.

So tune out, ita. Stargate sucks.

Remember what I said about proselytising? Tune out of what? Stargate? Oh, hells no. I like that show, and sometimes I love it. Why would I tune out?

If you were telling me to tune out of Veronica Mars, that'd make more sense. But, as I said, sometimes I watch to know. And I like knowing about Veronica Mars. So I won't tune out of that for the nonce.

Strega, how do you believe they can explain the numbers without the supernatural, or do you think that not explaining the numbers counts as not involving the supernatural?

I wonder if they'll have two explanations, ita, one that could be accepted by men of science and another that can be accepted by men of faith.

The only thing is, that smells like no actual explanation for people of the audience, but my approach to it is nearly the same as my approach to 24. Enjoy the suspense and the pretty.

It's my attention span. Rob Thomas is willing to set things up and not knock them over for months (although he's got a pretty good batting average for actually knocking them over). I just do not have that level of attention to invest in any show, so what's a big payoff for the ardent fans is "Oh, that. I think I read fan conjecture on it one time." for me.

24, on the other hand is wham bam with the set them up, knock them down cycle. It's an adrenaline game, and I enjoy that, although I'd never call it quality. But I rarely even have time to think meta until the hour's over. And by then I don't care so much.

Prison Break does a decent adventure serial job of the weekly cliffhanger plus odd twisty bits from three eps ago.

I miss Alias having that pacing. Oh, man, for pretty and explosions and "Ooh! Cool!" it was something.

For slower TV...nothing's gotten me much since Wonderfalls or Firefly, I don't think. But my brain's swiss cheese. How else can I explain forgetting that Lorne was both a) green and b) a regular in a TV series I watched?

(ita, avert your eyes)

That's not enough notice! Uh, not that I wouldn't have highlighted anyway if you'd spoilerfonted it.
