I don't think Hex has vampires - just demons.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to see The Office until Friday night.
Finding out what Dwight did to Sprinkles made me hate him even more, which I didn't think was possible.
Ended up icking too much over Andy's nipple problem.
I agree that Ryan is a dick, but he's a different kind from Michael. Michael means well but is utterly iincapable of translating that impulse into doing the right thing. Ryan seems to be hellbent on getting to the top in his career and doesn't seem to care too much how he gets there.
Oh my GOD, Kevin. You met Alexis last year? I just spontaneously turned into a fourteen year old fangirl here. Gah.
Yeah. He was staying in a hotel near my apartment, and I saw him just stood in the street. He was doing the play All My Sons here. I went to see him with a few mates from the online worlds one evening - amusingly, he told us we just missed Joss Whedon, who had flown over to see the play too. The previous day.
There was a hilarious moment where he left us and rang Alyson Hannigan on his mobile. Which is all good. We walked off and headed for the pub, but on the way there he walked back in our direction and we all froze. It looked like we were following him, we realised. So I'm, like, errr - what do we do? So Alexis walks up, waves, disappears off in another direction and we continue to the pub. Very very awkward. Entirely hilarious.
With Serenity, me and my best friend Kirsty had a similar thing. We were in full fan geek mode, covered in badges and such for the movie, and randomly Chewie (The Operative) gets in the lift with us in a hotel. We stood there, frozen. He clearly noticed we were mad fans, and probably thought we had followed him there. It was very very awkward. And, yes, when he got out - hilarious.
Kevin, that is fabulous.
Fab. U. Lous.
All My Sons, eh? Fantastic. God, wish I'd seen that - delighted to hear he's doing theatre, though (although I do feel that he should be getting at least as much screen time as Boreanaz is these days, because - holy shitloads of talent, Batman!). If I could choose (and in some alternative universe somewhere I'm a jobbing actress), I would rather be doing theatre than telly. (Presuming I was making enough to pay the bills, at least.) So that's cool.
(I went to the Serenity premiere on the 2nd day of the Edinburgh showing, so I missed the whole cast thingy. Plus I went with an Edinburgh-dwelling non-geek friend who'd inadvertently been sucked into the show when staying over at my place in Cairo (despite the fact that he's so far from liking SciFi in the first place that he doesn't even much like FICTION). But it was great to see My People en masse, even though they were mostly in mufty. I got very excited about a cunning hat that I spotted, but otherwise the crowd wasn't strikingly geek-clad. Ah, Chewitel Ejiofor. Bless him. I remember when he won the prize for Best Newcomer for his performance in Blue/Orange at the National Theatre - and, my lord, hasn't he done well?)

The Arthur Miller play? If so, and you haven't checked out the movie, do so. Hopelessly anvilly (just like the play), but Edward G. Robinson absolutely nails the role of the father.
Did anyone watch HIMYM last night?
I didn't really like Ted and Barney on the town as tourists (except I sorta liked Barney playing the hick, but I was mostly watching NPH acting than enjoying Barney. If that makes sense). I loved Lilly and Marshall, especially at the end and I liked Robin going back to being Robin. Keeping her around doesn't seem forced (I was wondering if it would even though Future!Ted refers to her as Aunt Robin) but the scenes with her and Lilly and her and Barney really highlighted that she has friendships and is more than just the girl friend.

Argh! Forgot about it and forgot to record it AGAIN.
I liked the concept of Ted and Barney on the town as tourists but it didn't work that well. I loved Lilly and Marshall and the Robin story.
We just got cable a couple of weeks ago, and I've been catching up on Scrubs. I just have this to say:
THEY KILLED LAVERNE!? What in the freaking hell?
Bill Lawrence mistakenly thought that last season would be the show's last, and (also mistakenly) that killing off Laverne would somehow make the show better. But he didn't want Aloma Wright to be out of a job once they got renewed, so she's coming back as a different character .
