This episode has me missing Ellen all over again (which I suppose was the intent).

I was thinking this over the weekend. Ellen was awesome. Once again her death protects the boys. But I guess this time doesn't count as a death?

Bobby and the boys obviously need her. I want her back.

As distracted as I was watching the ep (explaining the show to my mom's bff in a hotel room) I was extremely relieved and glad that Ellen wasn't some evil incarnation sent to torture Bobby and the boys. Yet I'm sure it was worse that it really was Ellen.

Ellen's hair was so pretty.

I was thinking she was really pretty too, but I think that's just because I love her so much.

I was actually thinking that she was too spit and polished. Missed my rough and tumble Ellen, with the dirty blonde hair. Didn't quite know what to make of the luxurious locks of shiny dark brown hair.

When... did Ellen have blonde hair? Samantha Ferris has been some variety of brunette in everything I recall ever seeing her in.

I wouldn't ever call her blonde, but, dirty blonde, yes: [link]

as opposed to the dark brown this last ep: [link]

Whatever colour you want to call it, it wasn't this latest incarnation. Which is fine, Ellen can dye her hair, get back to her roots. People do this. Her roots were darker. But in show, she had blondish hair.

Huh. That just looks like some highlights. I think of Ellen as having dark hair. I have no idea what she was in the majority of her episodes, but I thought it was dark. Anything along the brown or red spectrum, I would just chalk up to trying a different color.

Woo hoo! Sneak peek!!

That some of what they showed at Paley--the dramatic stuff. There was also some of a much lighter tone. I've seen people complaining it's going to be a cracky episode, but wasn't last week's supposed to be cracky too?
