S2 gag reel

End of the last disk of the S2 DVDs.

Memphis Beat: Sepinwall and Feinberg did not like the show. Apparently, what the clips don't tell you is that there is a whole lot of Elvis worship (and impersonation) in the pilot episode.

I like Elvis as much as the next person, but I can't deal with it in a tv show.

I read about the Elvis bit when I was introduced to the show. I think they were saying it wasn't Cop Rock but Jason Lee's character likes Elvis and sings some songs. I'm hoping it's a character quirk (which is pretty funny) and it doesn't happen every episode. Otherwise Cop Rock comes back into play. Sad to hear that opinion is it's not a good show. I'm going to give it a chance tonight.

Also Memphis and music--there was going to be some Elvis.

Elvis and Sun records permeate Memphis the way Hollywood does here. Here, you walk into a crappy taco place miles from a studio, and it still has murals of Marilyn and James Dean on the walls. There, it's Elvis.

There's also a candlelight vigil of Elvis worshippers at Graceland every summer. I half expect that one of these years the gates will open up and he'll come striding out like Gozer at the end of Ghostbusters

There is no Gozer - there is only the King!

I just watched the last two eps of Saving Grace. WTF?

That show has the most random characterisation, I swear. Or everyone's just really creepy. Ham back in love with Grace--when did that happen? I thought it creepy enough when he moved so smoothly off her onto that other woman, but I missed when he came back.

Never got Neely and her transition between druggie stripper and God's zealot and back again.

And the sudden amping up of the metaphysics was a bit much for me too.

But at least now I know.

Ham back in love with Grace--when did that happen?

Last week he told his brother's widow (who he had been dating) that he couldn't be with her anymore because he realized he was still in love with Grace. Apparently he realized this after Grace hit and killed a little girl with her car. I really hate the way they seem to be winding down the series, but I haven't seen this week's episodes yet.

But when did it happen onscreen? I mean, he went from Grace to the woman involved in an investigation to his brother's widow...just like moving. I never saw any emotions that moved him from one point to another. Just actions.

Same with the Neely changes. One week she'd just show up and be a new iteration of Neely. Whatever Grace needed her to be.

I managed to spoil myself for the end of the last episode 15 minutes before I got there, because I was being sloppy. Eh. I wasn't that invested anyway.

the finale was full of such random stuff, it didn't seem rooted in any reality.
