I'm waiting for Big Love to end so I can watch it all at once. Tim Goodman (SF Chronicle) said something about it coming unglued this year also. I can't wait to see it! and am skipping & skimming your posts to stay relatively unspoiled.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Our wings are not tired.
All of the external stuff - the casino in general, the protests and lobbyist specifically (though Sissy Spacek is great, the storyline is just not necessary), pretty mich everything having to do with the campaign (though it does seem like an in character thing for Bill to do, he is grand gesture all-or-nothing guy), they keep piling on stuff happening to these people when what is really interesting is just the relationships they have without the outside stressors. Anna telling Barb that the baby was conceived before she married Bill, Bill telling Anna that sharing a wife with another man would be unnatural, Nicki saying she loves Bill as if that's a shocking revelation - those are all fascinating moments. Looking at a bigger picture, or whatever they are trying to do with the other stories seems like a mistake to me.
I agree with every single word of this.

I've had In Treatment Season 2 on pre-order with Amazon for MONTHS, and there's still no sign of it coming out any time soon. They better have some good extra on it I tell you what.
erika, my Sebastopol friend recently returned my set of In Treatment Season 1. Want to borrow it? I'd like it back, but can mail to you for summer viewing.

Always Anti-fascist!
Fine...I've seen the first two discs but that will free up some queue slots.

Okay.
I missed this, just stumbled across it while looking for the Vince Gilligan Interview. This is an interview with Cloe Sevigny on Fresh Air with Terry Gross. [link]

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I'm 10 minute into TiVo delayed premiere of Pacific and there have been already both Caroline Dhavernas *and* William Sadler spotting. Wonderfalls reunion FTW!

Erika, I haven't forgotten In Treatment, I'm just lame and haven't been to the post office yet.
I'll be starting to watch Big Love soon. Meanwhile, I stumbled across this while reading things about Antarctica (yay Internet). It's an A/V Club interview with Chloe Sevigny re the last season: [link] and another article about the backlash from the first interview: [link]
I'm printing to read later, so no comments from me. Yet.
Finished with United States of Tara. Post to follow eventually.
