Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to youâ€”the world in balanceâ€”'cause you never know when it is.

Up with the sun

I caught the last five-ten minutes of Charmed, and got the impression that I hadn't missed a thing.

Nope. A lot of silliness about a "magic school" that is equal parts X-Men and Harry Potter, their heads get chopped off but no one dies, and Phoebe has a vision of the future that leads her to realize the whitefonted thing. Really, the only interesting bit was the Phoebe vision quest.

As for the whitefont:

Chris is cute, but the relationship he has had with Leo and Piper -- especially Leo -- makes Angel and Connor look like role models. I don't expect the show to deal with this, however.

I gave up on Charmed sometime last year. Actually, I watched it in the beginning - thought it sucked - tested it out again with Rose McGowan and liked Cole - watched for a bit - and then finally gave it up on the grounds that I hate being annoyed.

So, this year I have only seen commercials and I had already guessed what is whitefonted above. Really, people, try a little complexity - it won't hurt.

Thankfully, Julian McMahon is showing more skin on Nip/Tuck than he ever did as Cole on Charmed (or in his R rated movies, for that matter), with the added bonus of actual intelligent dialogue to read.

I did finally catch Nip/Tuck towards the end of it's season. It is good. And way big on the gross out. Television shows you can't eat dinner with: Nip/Tuck, CSI and Six Feet Under.

Let me also say, I'm really annoyed with Carrie Bradshaw.

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

Yeah, I had the same Charmed pattern as Juli -- Julian McMahon is a huge draw for me.

Now that he's gone, Charmed is what I turn on if I sit down early for Alias.

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

It was a very funny, if derivative, episode. Hadn't seen it before.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I adore the fact that the very first thing Colonel Jack O'Neill, savior of the world, red-blooded American man, wants to do is... pottery.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

The Teal'c and Jack show was hysterical. Especially Jack's golfing outfit.
