ER: We need to have a moratorium on "Hallelujah" montages. This is just getting ridiculous.
(As were many many of the storylines tonight.)
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Because books.

Amen to that. I can't seem to stop watching this show, but the annual huge! superdramatic! cliffhanger! season ender is more eye-rolly every year.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Here's a NY Post article about the CSI actor's negotiations:
a quote (in white font):
JORJA Fox was supposed to die at the end of "CSI" this year - but she has refused to show up on the set to film her "death scene," according to a published report.
A salary dispute with CBS was at the bottom of the unusual stand-off.
Unhappy with Fox's demands, execs decided to kill off her "CSI" character, Sara Sidle, who's romantically involved with boss Gil Grissom (William Petersen).
Fox was scheduled to film Sara's death scene late last month, when her character was supposed to be crushed by a car for the May 17 season finale.
But Fox refused to show up on the set, according to a report that first appeared in the Star.
It forced the show to film an alternate ending - including last-minute script rewrites and flying co-star Marg Helgenberger from L.A. to Vegas for re-shoots,
Fox's rep told The Post yesterday that the actress' future on the show was indeed up in the air.

Re: CSI This is the second time that Jorga Fox has been involved in some ugly contract dispute with them, isn't it? Last time, she stopped coming into work and got fired, no?
As for Ugly Betty, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! From two shows to no show? Poor Kevin. Poor rest of us who won't get to watch Kevin on TV every week anymore.

Did anyone watch ER last night? The reason I ask, and I kid you not, is that they did a Jeff Buckley 'Hallelujah" montage! This is, like the 75th time this year that damn song (which I used to like when I discovered Leonard Cohen in the early nineties) has been used in a show. I feel horrible, because as soon as I hear it, I begin to giggle, because that song has lost all power over me. Once or twice is enough, people!

Yeah, there definitely needs to be a moratorium on that song. There are other heart-wrenching songs out there, people!

I wonder if the use of Hallelujah montages on tv shows is listed in wikipedia? (If not it TOTALLY should be.)
Still thinking about Grey's. That scene between Christina and Mere was really excellent. . . and possibly fodder for fanfic.
I think that George must be recurring only next year and Preston must be gone.
Was Lexy the woman that chatted up Derek at Joe's?
