Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Has the series finale of Extras aired in the US yet?

Yes. Not quite what I expected, but satisfying nonetheless.

It's totally the AMPTP's (sp?) fault that the comedies aren't coming back. :: sends head-exploding thoughts their way ::

Extras: I found myself wondering how many of those conversations Ricky has had in real life. As the last few years, he has appeared desperate for fame. I thought it was brilliant - it was a fitting send up of the culture Ricky has gotten himself in to.

I'm not sure how well the humour translated. There was a lot of it, but a lot can't have been known outside the UK I'd imagine (Jade Goody doll yelling at Shilpa, for example). I found the last half hour very emotional.

Remember when Michael Scott drove into the lake?

Ann, that's a ferret.

This means there really are people out there as clueless as Michael.

How frightening is that?

Incidentally, our division director is named Michael (but goes by Mike). He has his flaws, but he's a vast improvement over Mr. Scott.

I totally know people who would do that, alas.

Is anyone watching Samantha Who? Is it any good?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I caught one episode and found it fair to middling.

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

I like it, but I like Christina Applegate and redemption.
