Four more days, four more days.

Eureka. I miss that wacky little town. July, right?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

What's up with her dead husband? I can't believe I'm curious, but inquiring minds want to know.

I think her dead husband is now in some other guy's body, but he doesn't know or something? I saw an episode with my mom and didn't really get it either.

About Ghost Whisperer

I think her dead husband is now in some other guy's body, but he doesn't know or something? I saw an episode with my mom and didn't really get it either.

I see about half the episodes, while I'm at work. Well, hubby did die, then his spirit hopped into the body of some guy who died. He then had "amnesia" and could remember neither his own life nor the life of the body that he jumped into. The body-guy's parents wanted to take him home some hours away, but he resisted, and ended up living in the GW's garage, being her handyman because he felt more comfortable with her. In this form, he has not been wanting to discuss ghosts, or believe in them, or be confronted with them - so she has had to keep her work a secret. But last week, she was in mortal danger, so a ghost who had been hanging around told the geeky professor side-kick where she was. Hubby just happened to be on hand to see the side-kick go to the rescue, and then see how side-kick was willing to jump into an underground chamber quickly filling with water in spite of not being a good swimmer because of what the ghost said - that hubby decided he had to take a leap of faith in ghosts, and take that dive himself. So, he dives, swims, gets caught, nearly dies, had his life (as hubby) pass before his eyes. He gets to ... what's her name, anyway? Amanda? Melissa? with the tools to get out of the chamber, and he totally remembers that he is her husband. Except of course, he has no memory of being dead, nor of jumping into another body. So she had to keep him away from mirrors until she got the chance to explain.

What they are going to tell the parents of his body, I don't know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My, that is convoluted indeed.

Thanks!

It was complicated, and just think how much worse it could be if I actually saw it every week.

It's supposed to be oh, so dramatic and emotional, and I'm beginning to find it laughable.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

"Kings" had really bad ratings.

[link]

Despite generally positive reviews, with some calling the project the most original new drama of the season, "Kings" drew only 6 million viewers and was the lowest-rated program between 8 and 11 p.m. on a major broadcast network.

Its two-hour debut was on par with this season's other bottom-of-the-barrel premieres, like last week's reality show "Chopping Block" and former Friday night adventure "Crusoe."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I admit to a Ghost Whisperer love. I tivo it and watch every week. Have class now, can elucidate more later if you like.

Our wings are not tired.

My sister always watches Ghost Whisperer so I see it when I visit her. The ghost of the week story is often entertaining, but the convolutedness is most impressive. My sister tries to explain all the family history stuff. I can enjoy watching them more as stand alone episodes.

Coding and Sleeping

I just listened to the latest BSG podcast for Islanded in a Stream of Stars. One thing that annoyed me was treating the Daniel as Kara's father idea as a sort of a silly thing that cropped up on the Internet because, dude, that stuff in the show was about as strong as a setup for that idea as they could have done.

Edit: Whitefonted because there is a bit of a spoiler for the finale.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

More of an anti-spoiler, but I'm sure the whitefont is appreciated.
