That stinks.  It's not Great Television, but it was entertaining enough.  I could be entertainined watching Nathan Fillion do just about anything, though.

Nathan Fillion is starting to remind me of Ted McGinley. If he shows up in your cast, the show is doomed. Not that he is a bad actor or anything, it is just the way things seem to work.

Seriously, I thought she was Forsythe's daughter or sister when I first saw BSG. Looked like him and acted like him.

I have seen her in a more flattering light though. She just comes off that way as Starbuck.

I'll dump this here since its the tv thread. I recently downloaded season one of Arrested Development as I somehow managed to miss the shows entire run. Based on watching the first two episodes, I think I may have missed out on something special.

For those who stopped watching Lost because it never went anywhere, last night was the place it was going. It's going to be a helluva great end to the season.

Should that turn out to be the case for real, it's exactly what every internet idiot predicted from the beginning of the first season as one of the main reasons for the island. I'm seriously hoping it's not the whole Purgatory thing because I think it's a copout.

I still think The Purgatory thing COULD be true, but it could just as easily be a ruse. Ben has shown the capability to pull some strings out in the real world for no reason other than to fuck with people (Juliet being shown her sister and the kid). Why couldn't he have caused Locke's dad's car crash and secret transfer to the island?

The more I think on it, the more I believe it's a red herring.

It is, unless they've changed their stance from Season 1 when people started postulating Purgatory and they said, "No, it's not."

Did Locke say thanks to Sawyer or did Sawyer say it to Locke?

The pace of Lost is great.  Doesn't feel like they are trying stretch it out like season 1 & 2.

I could have believed Purgatory thing in season 1 but not now.  Magic Island that is powerful enough to hide itself from the modern world is really the only thing that makes sense.

Keep in mind the guys in charge now aren't exactly the same guys. I think Abrams had a bit more pull in season 1, but absolutely none now. I'd take nothing they said as truth.

It's not hell and it's not purgatory. Too many people in the outside world interact with it.

Anyone still watching the Sopranos?

What the hell was last episode about?  Tony has a gambling problem.  WTF?  Since when has he been gambling?

They pull this shit out of thin air for a show that used to be one of the best, that has a terrific cast, and the storylines have just turned to utter crap the past two seasons (this and last).

Too bad they didn't end it two years ago, or whenever Adriana was taken out.

As I understand it Tony is hellbent on losing on every occasion so that he can remove the good luck debt he got himself into by surviving the gunshot.

It doesn't make any sense otherwise with Tonys obvious disdain for "degenerate gamblers".

Tony has gambled throughout the entire series. They were constantly going to underground casinos or Atlantic city. Furio almost pushed him into the rotor blades of a chopper on one trip.  It's only become a problem now because his guys aren't earning as much for him.

I think they knew they weren't getting renewed and so decided to just give the finger to Fox and make the show as strange and inside joke-y as possible.

Oh damnit I missed it. I really liked that show. For some reason, it reminds me of Sentinel (90's tv show) and 7 days... I think Sentinel and John Doe are set in the same city.

Gray's Anatomy took a turn for the shitter today. They decided to try to add in the spinoff shit for Madison's show.

That's just not gonna fly. Introducing 9 characters to try and get people to watch a second TV show and then killing off a recurring character in the main portion of the show with no REAL leadup does not a good season finale make.

I didn't think it was that bad. I like that they seem to be going for a more humorous bent with Kate Walsh's (Dr. Addison Montgomery) show. Grey's Anatomy, while not as grim and depressing as something like E.R., can still be very "tiring" to watch with all the crap that they constantly throw at the characters.

The no leadup thing was presumably intentional given that the whole thing was supposed to be very sudden. They had lots of other scenes in earlier episodes where Meredith was slowly trying to connect with her other family.

Possible spoiler about Shark's season finale:
Shark's season finale was awesome. Just when you thought James Woods' character might be going a bit soft by being on the "good side" he pulls quite the doozy on his arch-enemy.

Where the fuck did I come up with Madison. That's how little I care about this woman.

If I wanted to watch a dramedy about the trials and tribulations of a nearly barren doctor, I'd turn on the Oxygen network. Get that crap out of my angsty surgeons in training drama.
