Thank you! That was driving me bananas.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

not your mom's socks.
love. this. show.
singing sort of had me in the uncomfortable runtonextroomforsomethingimportant pose, but it was so campy that I rethought. Glad I did - the dancing made it even better, and weirder... first with Digby, and then with the floor guy who can't hear or see her [the staging sort of worked]. KC is awesome - she works this so-intense-and-driven-pie-shop-person friction in really funny ways. And OMG the toile.
the plot was pretty good - though not as twisty as the first one. Pure scientist done in by (WF for Jilli - hope ABC posts) evil marketing-CEO for fun and profit isn't unforseeable, but the way that they spun the characters and their secret lives around it was a good watch.
Color me awful, but I'm going to tire of the 'I killed your dad when we were 8 but can't bring myself to tell you because our relationship will fail though I really want to because otherwise our relationship will fail' thing long before the 'we can't ever touch' will wear me out. I like the tension in the second much more than the guilt-ridden impasse in the first.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Still very good but they gotta stop the 15 years 4 months 2 days 17 minutes crap.
I thought that was much less overdone this week, though. I'll agree a little goes a long way.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You're probably thinking of Shelly Cole? She had a similar look but I don't think it's the same actress.
Yeah.
I was (and still am) a little unsure about the bulimia thing, but at least by the end of the episode, she was getting help.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
the way that Lee Pace smiles in this totally swoon-inducing way everything he looks at or thinks about Chuck
Oh, teh word. I had some Lee Pace love from Wonderfalls, but here he is totally swoon-worthy. (Which I heartily approve.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
This show makes me SO HAPPY.
This to the tenth power!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I managed to catch Pushing Daisies last night. It made me ridiculously happy.
