Let's face it. I'm still watching 24. Clearly massive errors of fact are not going to deter me from watching. I've watched as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
Right. I just open up another socket, and go with it.
I like watching Jericho the way I like watching Dawson's Creek. But saying it's better than it was last fall is kind of a low bar. I'm not sure it's actually possible for a TV show to get even more ridiculous than it already was. Unless they brought in Roger Corman.
Too too true, but at least it got better.
I also sort of root for it, because Sprague Grayden is a local. I used to drink eat at her parents' restaurant in college, and I hated her character on
Joan of Arcadia
so much that I jumped off the couch in glee when she died a horrible death (one I think was supposed to be touching, but just made me deliriously happy). So it's nice to like her character in something (and really, there's not enough of her character for me, let's lose Emily).
Last week and this week, the teaser as all about how they need to conserve gasoline. And both times they decided it was worth using the gas to go on little jaunts, so whatever.
THEY. HAVE. HORSES. Or they did. Maybe they ate them. I wouldn't put it past the townsfolk.
Also when they keep talking about how cold it is but nobody puts up the hood on their jacket.
And Mimi doesn't know which direction SW is, so she just takes a wild guess and walks off INTO THE SUNSET.
I mean... it's gotta be intentional. Right?

Did Demian successfully warn you away from ever watching Charmed?
Ha!
Okay, point. Because I have seen some episodes, and they are pretty crazy. But I don't know if even
Charmed
has as many "This doesn't even make sense in the whacked-out universe this show takes place in!" moments.
To be vaguely on-topic, I've thought about putting a disclaimer on the first
Drive
recap that says, "Okay, I've met Tim and Kristen, but if I seem nicer about this show it's not because of that. It's because since
Angel
I've recapped
Carnivale
and
Jericho,
and now I know what Deep Hurting really means."
We haven't even touched on the insanity of the windmill plot.
I'm ambivalent on
Jericho.
Watched a bit, then didn't, then sort of started again. It seems to be against things that I don't love but kind of like and aren't nearly as depressing. Although, after the first bit, the anvils kept the depressing away pretty well. That said, I'm not even a little bit ambivalent about Ginger or Cindy or anyone else who wants to share their juicy brains. Brraaaiiinnnnnnns.
And I'm not even into zombies.
Just put up Polter Cow's Wondercon report here.
Thanks again, P-C -- I'll add the images when I can work out how to/get Kevin to.
Ohhh, that's way better than mine. Nice reporting!
Thanks, Allyson! I took notes.
