That is a really good essay!

Cable Drama: Still Waiting for the Cable Guy to Show Up with the Thread Name...
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
Yes indeed -- thanks for bringing it to my attention, because I think it crystalizes a lot of my understanding of Betty to what I've been trying to say.
I'm finally watching Season 2 now, and Betty's dad called her "Scarlett". She reminds me of her, really. Definitely the denial and the taste for being admired(taste, hell, it dominates her life, although she can be quite charming if she makes the effort or the planets align in her way.)If you read the book, Scarlett's not a good mother either...petty and indifferent and snappish...in her mind she's always got a good reason, though, and some day she thinks she's going to be the perfect, kind-hearted lady she would have been if that damn war hadn't shown up.
For Leverage peeps: Beth Riesgraf was a bunny for Halloween. Adult women should not be that freakin' cute.
She's so cute...not very Parkerish, though. Parker would have to dress as Clovis.
Oh, oh, oh! New Leverage starts December 12th. The tv promo looks fun. Happy now.
Ooh!
Sons of Anarchy:
What did people think of the hospital supervisor having a gang tattoo? I definitely didn't see that coming?
I totally didn't see that coming! I wished that I could zoom in or something to get a better look.
I want to know the story. ASAP.
I actually did see it coming...or something like it...because there could have been no other reason for a character who started out so adversarial and conservative to end up being so incredibly understanding and supportive. If she didn't have that kind of background, Tara's beatdown would have sent the supervisor straight to the restraining order.
