I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've never seen The Office UK, but I'm guessing she's Lucy? Long blonde hair? She's been around for a while -- a writer who's been cutely flirting with/dating Tom.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Yes, she's been featured ever since the bulk of the writers left.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I would watch a show with her and Tom and Matt and Danny and Cal. Not Jordan. Sadly, not Harriet. Sarah Paulson will have to go be great somewhere else.

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

I think last night's S60 would have made a great series finale. Maybe I'll make it mine anyway.

Trust my rage

I found a rumor online that the three agreed not to be in an ep in order to save money. Apparently, that was the next episode after the last one, but I didn't remember Tom and Lucy being together. Certainly not at a "going to Hawaii together" stage. This show is so uneven for me. Sometimes I love it, sometimes it's really boring.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I actually enjoyed that studio sixty, but it may just be that I love Timothy Busfield, and love his chemistry with Allison Janney.

Saw 3 of the Fox pilots last night. Neither was great, but neither was terrible either.

The Sarah Connor Chronicles - it took me a while to get into this one because I couldn't immediately figure out where it took place in Terminator continuity. (Post-T2 with T3 tossed out the window, FYI.) It's hard to talk about it without being spoilery, but I liked what I saw and would watch more. Hopefully the producers will find a way to cut down on the vfx shots and explosions -- right now it looks too expensive for Fox to keep around if the ratings aren't through the roof.

New Amsterdam - like Brief Lives meets Angel if Hob Gadling were a ginormous asshole with "I'm immortal, ask me how! No really, ask me! Pleeeeeeeeeease ask me?" tattooed on his face. I like the premise and want to like the show, but the main character is such a douche that I'm not sure I'll be able to stand it. (Short premise: Dutch guy is wounded in New Amsterdam in 1600-something and is healed by some friendly neighborhood Native Americans who for some reason decide to grant him immortality. The catch is that he will remain immortal until he meets and hooks up with his soulmate, at which point he will be allowed to grow old and die with her. The problem with his ever hooking up with said soulmate is, as I mentioned earlier, that this guy is a giant douche. It's amazing he's even had a date in the past 400 years, let alone any relationships.)

[eta that the other pilot was a comedy so I'ma talk about it in the comedy thread]

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Is the "giant douche" part of the premise, or just poor writing?

I don't think it's deliberate, but it's hard to say whether the writing or the actor is at fault -- I think he's supposed to come off as tragically lonely and aloof, but he needs to be a LOT more charming about it before I'm going to tune in and watch him every week.
