Upthread somebody mentioned missing the premiere of Fringe - well, Fox is repeating it Sunday night with 10 minutes from the second episode.
Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I watched it ... I think. It seemed to make less sense than Lost, without the hot boys or pretty scenery.

yikes! I have it set to record Sunday but am thinking it may irritate me. I need SENSE making!

Hubby watched Fringe and said "When they run out of cliches, they look for other cliches they can work with." I said, "Are these the cliches the X-Files wrote?" "I wish."

I wouldn't say it made less sense than Lost, because I don't think you can have negative amounts of sense-making. But it will give your eye-rolling muscles a workout, so make sure to stretch beforehand.

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

Yes, he was kind of cute. But you know, I find a little coherence helps. Not a lot, just enough I'm not sitting there thinking, "uh huh ... wha? ... what just happened? why? how? who's that?" and "he's shiny ... just not in a good way."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh no! Garrison Keillor fell into Snacky's Law:
I must say, it was fun having the Republicans in St. Paul and to see it all up close and firsthand. Security was, as one might expect, thin-lipped and gimlet-eyed, but once you got through it, you found the folks you went to high school with -- farm kids, jocks, the townies who ran the student council, the cheerleaders, some of the bullies -- and they are as cohesive now as they were back then, dedicated to school spirit, intolerant of outsiders, able to jump up and down and holler for something they don't actually believe.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
I ended up tivoing Fringe anyway, and I think if I keep watching, that's going to be the best thing for me, since I can fast forward through the gross parts.
Wait, what's the premise again? Are the gross parts medical? I can't watch anything medical. Are they a regular part of the show, or more sporadic, like the autopsies on The X-Files ?

Oh, I basically watched it because of Pacey. I rolled my eyes instead of turning it off because of Pacey. I will probably check it out again because of Pacey. If there's nothing else going on.
Also, my friend Marcia & I were just discussing the show, and how we really need a moratorium on any more Bad TV Dads, because jeez.
