You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Tim was credited as "Consulting Producer." I noticed Kelly Manners' name in there, too, which is funny when you see Sam Anderson as a guest star in the pilot.

Random Aside: I was at a bar yesterday that had a TV with Forrest Gump on it. Who should turn up as the principal Sally Field has to sleep with to get Forrest into school but Holland Manners. I'd completely forgotten (or probably didn't know who he was at the time) mainly because after the one and only time I saw it I vowed never to see it voluntarily again.

Ooh, who else from Angel should show up on K'Ville???

JM is recurring on WAT this season. (Which is interesting because I can't recall them having any sort of arciness before and it looks as though this storyline with the kidnapped women and girls is going to be the agent for his reoccurrence.)

Seeing him with his natural hair and his natural accent still strikes me as odd and even though he's not hitting his r's as hard as he did on Smallville - still sounding funny.

K-ville: I enjoyed the second ep a lot. Bless the network for streaming it, because as much as I'm liking the show, Heroes wins that timeslot for me. (I keep seeing ads for encores on Friday at the site, but then I don't see it on my show guide on the tv).

I hope Cobb's dead!prison-friend's girl (AJ) shows up somewhere down the line. I like that Cobb's guilt over what he had to do to survive Katrina is lingering there in the background without hitting us the head with it, and I think CH helps sell that with his reactions and delivery.

AA needs to stop shouting his lines, though (I finally realized where I remember him from, having never watched The Shield: Transformers. Watching that movie, I kept wondering "why is this character here? He's useless (as were many of the characters), not integral to the story, and damned annoying". Screaming like a girl should not be a trademark or a schtick.)

Juliebird: Yes, I really think that Cobb's dead!prison-friend's girl should and will show up. At some point.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I liked WAT this week. JM and Brian Bloom in one episode. I missed most of WAT last season because of scheduling; half of the episodes would be cut off on the DVR because football would go over. I'm looking forward to seeing it again this season.

sj - exactly! I missed it too. Plus between Scifi and Bloodties - I didn't have much Sunday viewing time left. Thursdays in the 3rd timeslot are so much better for me.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Life (on the offchance that I'm not the only one who cares): I'm going to assume that info given at the official site is considered spoilery so in the exclusives section, on the conspiracy wall, is a news article stating that those Crews was framed for murdering were a family he was close with, and that they were survived by a nine year-old daughter. Wanna bet, twelve (or was it fifteen?) years later that 21/24 yo is gonna show looking for answers? Or maybe it'll be like the Fox official website declaring that Mal saved Zoe's life in the war and this is why she is forever indebted and loyal to him, and yet never officially acknowledged in the show itself (of course, this could have been due to an untimely cancellation...)

This seems to be a theme with me and "unpopular" shows.

Thrive to spite them

I liked Life. I hope it sticks around, the fruit thing got a bit old, but I got the impression he was binging on everything he couldn't have in prison.

I was thinking of this, too, but he's been out for four months. He ought to be regular by now.
