I just went to turn on Tru Calling -- just to see.
Of course I should have checked the time. Cause it just ended. I think I recorded it though.
Oopsie.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Tru caling was... well, it wasn't the worst thing I'dever seen on television. It was all a little pat and predictable though, without a lot to recommend it.
May give it another shot, though. It's got some potential, I'm sure, although I'm hard pressed to see how it won't fall into the same plot over and over again.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
CKR is Callum Keith Rennie, right? I was going to watch the show but didn't. Frell, I missed him.

He was only onscreen for maybe 5 minutes total, doing his standard Attractive Creep schtick. Dushku was fine, the episode just needed other characters to be, well, characterized better (or at all). Or in the case of the older sister, much less annoying, or the younger brother, much less stupid. Can you tell that I have issues?

Hmm. I watched it. It didn't suck, but it wasn't great. I spent the hour thinking, "Eliza Dushku is HOT." t shrug I'll give it a few episodes before declaring it pants.

I only caught the last 10 minutes. I kept thinking this wouldn't be bad, if Tru had some superpowers, and a good writing staff, and maybe some of the ghosts were demons, and...
Oh. Yeah. Faith Spin-Off is off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It was eh. The most emotional reaction I got was when she kicked the gun away, but she kicked the line of fire across the woman whose life she was there to save.
So I think I was kinda detached.

Art Crawl!!!
I enjoyed it. . . it has potential and it's fun to see ED on tv.
Was CKR the married father of this week's dead person's baby? (Why didn't I recognize him?)

Yes. It took me a second to recognize him, probably because he wasn't scruffy and was dressed far too conservatively.
