Can I like something, and not think the thing is very fresh, at the same time?
Yes, this is how I feel about Bunheads and the Dallas reboot.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Always Anti-fascist!
I coined a new word for all of them: show-stalgia. It's fun, but there's no HSQ in it. (Any entertainer knows it's not a compliment at this point, to be "The Leno of..."right? That you're a back-stabber at worst, and at best, a hack hanging on past his sell-by date. That was one note in the pilot that didn't sound right, I mean, given that he's Super-Writer Aaron Sorkin, and I'm a nobody sweating her butt off in the desert.) I'm just saying. I'm not cool, and I know that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I love the Pam flashbacks.
I love them for lots of reasons, not least of which is Eric is antique clothes, licking blood off his fingers. I am shallow.
I'm somewhat interested in the Authority stuff, think the vampire religion is kinda silly, and really dislike the style of ankh jewelry the Authority vamps wear. But vampire Reverend Newlin is going to keep me amused for ages.

That was very nice indeed.

Pete laughed and wanted to know if the writers were directly pandering to me.

I would like to go on record as in favor of more Jilli pandering.
Drunk Sookie is kind of fun! I like her made up lyrics. I'm not really mad at any of the plotlines right now, but there sure are a lot of them.

In a bizarrely meta twist, I found second episode of The Newsroom, which was about the second episode of the show kind of sucking, to kind of suck.

Almost to the point of wondering if Sorkin was deliberately being that meta (I did like the ending though).
