Experimental TV: Network Drama  

This thread is an experiment to discern the Buffistas' interests in television discussion. It will close on June 1st, 2007, after which our community will assess our future direction. Discuss network aired drama here. [NAFDA]

Our GG was preempted by HOLY CRAP THE CITY IS ON FIRE! coverage. Both S and I wanted to see it. Hopefully they rebroadcast.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I hope you and S get to see it, Sean. It was a good one. I'm sorry to hear about the fires and hope all the LAistas stay safe.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

If they don't, let me know -- I can undelete it from the Tivo and send you a tape.

Awww, the Guardian likes FNL - and I'm a bit surprised that it's airing in the UK.

Well, that really supports the idea that it's less about football and more about the characters and situations.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Yay spreading the FNL love across the pond!

And this

Well, that really supports the idea that it's less about football and more about the characters and situations.

So true (But pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease leave what football stuff is in there)

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

HMOG, The Unit. Jonas stepping to the guy who walked up to him on the street, and then after finding out that the guy threatened his wife, dropped him to his knees with the fingertips of one hand. WORLDS OF HAWT.

Vortex, that's a given -- Jonas is just worlds of HAWT. Tall, with a deep, commanding voice that sounds like he could create universes if he wanted to. Protective, macho, principled man. Unlike, say, Mac, or the Colonel (although I do respect him for backing his men). (But I refused to rewatch the episode where he slept with that woman in - Panama, was it? - because it was necessary to his cover as a married man. Uh huh. And she just happened to look like an exotic model.)

But I really wish every damn drama on the air wouldn't feel the need to end every season with at least a dozen plot threads dangling in the air. If I like the show I'll be back again in the fall -- they don't need to leave so many questions unanswered. I likes me some closure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bones: I'm so glad they mentioned the whole buried-alive thing. It's always bugged me that they didn't seem to have any lasting effects from that.

Also, the fabric softener thing was cool, and made me think the writer had recently done some site visit to a real lab where they actually do that, and Booth's reaction was the same as the writer/visitor's.

But I'm not sure you can really narrow down sushi restaurants by the ones that serve uni. Even in DC.

And none of them had even heard of the existence of ceramic knives?

I'm willing to suspend lots of disbelief.

Art Crawl!!!

Jericho: EVIL CLIFF-HANGER!!!

Also, great to see Heather. I guess the plan is to tie up some loose ends next season. Assuming that they get one.
