And that smirky thing with the eyebrows.

I got my bad info about number of eps remaining from epguides. I see they updated it with correct info now.

Okay, so Salon totally gave away the casting thing y'all were so kind not to tell me. It doesn't ruin it, though I won't get to be all "GILES!1!" (er, "MUNCHKIN!") when I see him. But it's funny, because fans have been complaining about SVU- canon abuse(a retcon that made Munchkin a New Yorker instead of going to high school with Helen in Pikesville as in "Kaddish") for a long time. I wouldn't expect Simon to pay attention to that sort of thing, but this *is* the Media Season.

A-Ha! Dexter fans. Buffistas has a thread for everything. I think I am gonna like it here. Hello all.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-it. I just won a snowglobe from Matt Zoller Seitz (4th comment here, but don't read unless you've seen the most recent episode: [link] but I'd just as soon been wrong.

That's pretty funny, Corwood. While I wish that your prediction hadn't come to pass, the way it did does feel right, in the sense of refliecting reality correctly.

One of the most telling things to me about this episode is how relieved and happy I am for Dookie to have hooked up with the junk man. That shouldn't be a (potential) happy ending, you know?

Stolen shamelessly from a friend on another forum:

For anyone who thought Omar's "Spiderman" jump was implausible, Michael K. Williams says:

That actually really happened. Omar’s character is based on a brother named Donnie Andrews. [On The Wire, the real-life Andrews played] the gentleman that got shot and killed in that apartment with Omar. I said, “Donnie, man, what happened that night? What was going through your mind to jump through the window?” He said, “Michael, I wasn’t thinking. There was no time to think. I was just trying to escape some hot ones.” Your partner just got murdered. You got people gunning at you. And there’s an open window? What are you going to do?

Oh, and note this:

I leave to start production on The Road, [a Cormac McCarthy adaptation] directed by John Hilcoat and starring Viggo Mortensen and the lovely and talented Charlize Theron. I’m really excited about that.

ooh!

Man, I have to say about Sunday's ep (erika wf) I was glad that Omar got got early on in the ep. The tension was making me CRAZY!

I watched it again last night (while burning a copy for Ms. Jahneke, which will go in the mail tomorrow), and that scene is just a killer, all the way through. In fact, I'll go ahead and say that every scene in the episode is a killer, but that one in particular is breathtaking.

You'll get no argument from me. Top form.
