I like the actors but I felt like the dialogue let them down.

I'm kind of excited about Traveler. (It was promoed QUITE often during the ESPN/ESPN2 coverage of Derby Day.)

I'm kind of excited about Traveler.

it's a really good pilot. probably one of my favorites that i watched over the summer. not sure it could sustain more than one season(what does these days?), but i remember thinking that about Prison Break too.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

sorry tiggy, I really didn't like what might be Addison's show. Weak women characters, predictable storylines, blatant misuse of Tim Daly - man, that's not a show I think I want to watch again.

It might be different if Marti Noxon weren't the showrunner or if I had more faith in the Grey's writers. I'm irritated at what Christina has become and how Bailey really has taken a backburner to other characters. It was nice to see different characters than the Grey's characters, but (at least for me) that's just another indication of how far GA has fallen.

c.s.i. - I watched On Demand and really enjoyed the episode up until the end: are we really to believe that GRISSOM is the miniature killer?

Sports Night Fans: If you haven't been watching Six Degrees on the ABC website watch the episode that they posted on Friday (May 4th) - it's Josh Charles-eriffic.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

sumi- I have heard people say that they think Sara is the miniture killer based on the end, although that makes not so much sense to me. I have to say I am not in the best place to judge, as I currently watch CSI by fast forwarding to see if there are any Grissom/Sara scenes. I watched the last two years of the West Wing this way as well, and am only now getting to watching the episodes. I think perhaps my early exposure to soap operas has warped me for nromal TV watching, although at the same time, GA annoys me for being too much about romantic involvement!

I liked the Sara/Grissom we had this week: hanging out on the bed with the dog, the exchange about "intelligence" on this planet -- and the letter - all good stuff.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I'm really keen on the GA spin-off. I like how they were able to establish the relationships of the characters, who obviously knew each other very well, so well in what could end up being a one-shit episode.

Tim Daly was adorable. With his shoes! And his baggy pants! Quite a costume change from the sharp suits he wore on Eyes. Where I also loved him.

Numb3rs: The Eppes family ALL FIGHT CRIME.

It was a shame that army dude was the baddie. Not that I had any fic plans for him, or anything. And I can't believe they didn't jump to the water supply sooner, because that's where I went *first* when they started talking about saren.

Based on the end of this week's csi? Because that makes no sense. I thought it was a possibility that she was connected to the killer based on her coming up from the foster system. (The c.s.i.'s seem to be obsessed with people coming up through foster care: this week's c.s.i. NYC hinged on Sydney coming up through foster care.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

sumi, I in no way thought that Grissom was the miniature killer. I figure he might be working on one to get in the mindset of the killer (and/or) to draw the killer out...but I can't even fathom that he would be the killer.
