Mostly lurking...

You know, I really thought I read someone from the cast saying that there would probably be a reunion movie...that the cast had signed on for it. I wish I could remember where I read that.

Ausiello says that ASP is behind the reunion movie.

ETA:

Question: So, what gives? There is no way you could still be at Fox's upfront party. Did you track down AS-P, and, if so, what were the final four words she had in mind for Gilmore Girls?— Katrina
Ausiello: OK, here's the deal: Yes, I tracked her down, but, no, she did not cough up those elusive four words. But wait — there's more. And it's good. No, amazing. No, un-frakkin'-believable. Amazing, even. Wait, did I say that already? Well, it's true. Because just as I was about to brand her a big ol' promise-breaker right there in front of all those industry types, Amy explained why she couldn't divulge her long-ago-planned Gilmore ending. (Gilmore fanatics: This is the time in Sprockets when you either lean on a heavy object or just sit down.) In the next year or two, she hopes to make — wait for it — a two-hour Gilmore Girls TV-movie that ties up all those loose threads! I nearly fell over when she said it — especially given what she told me back in December. (BTW, lest you think Amy was pulling my leg, her partner in life and in showbiz, Dan Palladino, confirmed that a GG reunion pic is something they're interested in pursuing.)

(Added because there are big Heroes casting spoilers on the same page. Spoilers for next year you know.)

Possible Jericho news:

Question: What, if anything, are your sources telling you regarding this Jericho "closure" that CBS is promising? I think I speak for every fan when we say we don't want closure. We want Season 2!— Josh >br?
Ausiello: All I know is that a meeting is taking place this week at CBS. To learn more about the gargantuan "Save Jericho" movement, head to jericholives.com.

And I thought -- hmmm, because most of the shows that I've heard of having that sort of campaign are not on the top network in the country - they're on the smallest networks or on cable only and probably have a tiny percentage of the viewers of even the lesser viewed shows on the big networks. So maybe the Jericho Lives campaign really is massive.

Okay, apparently people are sending nuts to CBS.

Okay.

Lennie James left a nice message on CBS' message board.

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

NCIS: man, that was a nice little twist at the ending. I don't get what the Angel of Death was supposed to be about, other than a red herring, and the story about the addict and the pimp was kind of boring. But I gotta say, that was some wicked-gross out of the chick sniffing coke out of her brother's organs. gyuh ew.

I wonder if they'll be able to sustain both the Director's dad returning from the dead, and the new developments with La Granui (or however it's spelled); and I wonder if Jean was a plant, but I don't think so from the way La Granui was poring over pictures of Tony. Tense stuff, all around.

I don't think so from the way La Granui was poring over pictures of Tony

and Granui kept deflecting his stooge's plan to use Jeanne against Tony. The pimp/addict thing was a nice way to confront Jeanne with the truths of Tony's world, though. Which I think she's going to get a lot more familiar with as this Director/Granui/Jeanne/Tony thing gets pulled tighter and tighter.

Gibbs called McGee "Tim"! Was that a first?

(another thing I love about this thread, I hadn't even thought of going on about NCIS)

No, I think it was the other way around--the double agent didn't have conversation records, so Granui couldn't have found out about Tony being NCIS; the double agent said that Tony wasn't in love, in an attempt, I think, to deflect Tony's value to Jeanne and therefore to La Granui; in truth, the agent kept from telling the Frog a whole host of things that he could have said about Tony, which makes me think that the investigation was about Jeanne and the men she dates, not Tony, to keep from compromising Tony as an agent and a spy and also to protect Jeanne from the true knowledge about her father, which I suspect she doesn't have.

It was a nice little twist, though, because the clue was there if you're looking backwards--what are the likelihoods that a procedural would introduce a French arms dealer and Tony's girlfriend with a French name and *not* have them be connected somehow--but it was also a surprise, for me at least.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

24

Well, I felt like the real action ended about 15 minutes before the end of the episode.

Yeah, I kind of felt like that, but I loved the very end with Jack staring off towards the ocean, gun dangling by his side, all his brokenness and not knowing what to do next on his face. Didn't make the whole season worthwhile, but it was a lovely image.
