One of my consolations about West Wing being over is that Lost pwns my soul.



That Jack/Sawyer scene? Greatest thing ever. And I don't even LIKE Sawyer. LOL. Just -- perfect. I laughed, I said awww, I admired the hot. Yay.

The Michael/Walt scene actually got me teary-eyed. Harold Perrineau and Malcolm David Kelley were amazing. In that moment, I did believe that Michael would do whatever it took to get Walt back.

So -- why Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and Hurley? How do they know their full names? How do they know Sawyer's real name?

Could Eko be any more hilariously mysterious and vaguely creepy? I think not. The Charlie/Eko scene was priceless.

I fully admit I liked Claire taking Charlie's hand at the end.

I loved Michael's reunion with Jin and Sun, and admired that I was happy to see that reunion even though Michael just killed two people in cold blood.

I kept WAITING for someone, ESPECIALLY Sayid, to think that Michael was "turned," and thank god Sayid finally came through. Because I am me, I kept thinking of "V: The Final Battle," when Julie tries to tell Mike that Sean's been converted? Yeah, just me, I know.

Hurley slays me. "She was a psychologist. Or a psychiatrist. One of those."

I loved that the flashbacks for this episode were of 13 days earlier. Awesome. Really, I just loved this episode, and can't wait for next week. I love being a cheap whore where this show is concerned.

I admit to being happy about the American Idol result.

I haven't watched Alias or ANTM yet.

I did watch the finale of TAR, and boy, was it weird to be watching a TAR finale by myself in my living room instead of being at TAR Con! Sob.

Yay hippies! I am pleased that they won. Really, I would have been happy with any of those teams winning -- I didn't exactly love Eric and Jeremy, but they ran a strong race and I can't begrudge them that. I loved the hippies adventures in Tokyo. The roller coaster task was one of the greatest Roadblocks EVER. One of the only times I've ever been envious about a Roadblock! I wish they had spent more time in Japan, but oh well.

I was touched by how emotional Tyler was at the end, there. Awww, he's a sensitive soul. I loved their Phil hugs and their we're-secure-in-our-sexuality man-hug with each other. Hee. They seem like good dudes, I am happy for them. And the other teams seemed happy for them, too.

I hope Ray and Yolanda stay together, because they are adorable.

All in all, not the best season, but an enjoyable one nonetheless. Yay TAR.

Speaking of TAR, the NY Times has an article today about how the show has been shedding viewers.

My parents called today, and my mom started talking to me about the WW finale. OMG the hilarity. "I was sad about Josh, what's his name, Malina, that he and the security girl didn't work things out." But even better was, "I was hoping there would be more with Charlie. I mean, Georgetown Law is good, but, I thought maybe he would go live with the President or something." WTFLOL.

Speaking of WW, really nice article here from The Miami Herald. Ahem. "Just hand Whitford another Emmy right now: He has continued to ground the series after it split into two separate shows, one on the campaign trail, the other at the White House." There's other nice stuff too. *g*

General Hospital was awesome again today. I am so sad that Finola is only on for a week. How can you not want her around after watching how she and Tristan set the screen on fire, I ask you? A hundred times hotter than anything else on that show right now.

Oh, and for anyone who's not on studio_60, the following was in a NY Times article today: "NBC executives said earlier this week that to protect their new entries from being overwhelmed by competition on other networks, they would revise the schedule they had announced. NBC could rearrange its schedule any time over the next month or so." Fingers crossed.

Happy Birthday angstville!

ETA: I just got spam with the following subject line: "Save energy -- make love more slowly." *dies laughing*

Oh, the hippies winning made me soooo happy. I've only seen a couple of eps here and there, but those three teams seemed so strong and equally matched. Loveloved the hippies in Tokyo rockin' the Japanese, and I loved how they were constantly so positive and excited to be doing what they were doing.

[powerof3.livejournal.com]

Gah! I didn't mean to read this. *grumbles* Ah, well. I'm glad they won too.

*goes to do something else for the next 20 minutes* ;)

[soaked-in-stars.livejournal.com]

Ohmygod, so, so, so sorry. Mea culpa!

[powerof3.livejournal.com]

No, no. S'fine. Not like I'm a fanatic or anything. ;)

*squishes you*

[powerof3.livejournal.com]

I really hope that NBC doesn't put Studio 60 on against CSI and Grey's. I mean, serioulsy? Can you give the new show a chance, plz? I don't mind Tivoing more than one thing, but the poor thing can only do so much. I don't know which one of those three I'd be willing to torrent. Although, at this point? It'd probably be CSI wtfwriterswhydoyouhatemesomuch?

Y'know, my Studio 60 fascination is completely your fault. I'm just sayin'. :P

Then my work here is done! :D

I love that you are a cheap whore for Lost (which continues to be so awesome that I can't find three words to say about it), but I really love you for stuff like this:

Because I am me, I kept thinking of "V: The Final Battle," when Julie tries to tell Mike that Sean's been converted?

Julie Parrish was second only to Princess Leia on the list of women I wanted to be when I grew up.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

OMG me too. (And Lisa Hayes, although Lisa was a bit too effed up for me to really want to be her. Maybe Sentinels Lisa. But I digress.)

I started a West Wing/V crossover ages ago but never finished it. I really should some day.

Did you know there's a new V series in pre-pre-development at NBC?

[anxietygrrl.livejournal.com]

I endorse the notion of a West Wing/V crossover, and I would read it with great glee.

Did you know there's a new V series in pre-pre-development at NBC?

I did not. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I suppose it would depend on, well. Everything. Are we talking sequel or 're-imagining'?

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Sequel, potentially bringing back one FAYE GRANT. *dances*

[anxietygrrl.livejournal.com]

DUDE! I am in the preliminary stages of being cautiously psyched, then!

[bexatious.livejournal.com]

I admit to being pissed with Lost because Michael has no justification for murder. He could have come up with a bunch of other excuses to get them to come with. Maybe I am just truly devastated over Libby's death because Hurley does not deserve bad things at all (and she was fairly interesting to me as well) but I am so mad at Michael and there's probably nothing the show can do to redeem his character for me now.

Yay for dead Ana-Lucia though.

Your subject line had me laughing for a good minute for no reason at all other than I pictured you sitting there trying to think of something clever and deciding Grease would be it.

[mabfan.livejournal.com]

I think the reason Michael killed Ana Lucia had less to do with The Others and more to do with his own feelings. Remember how she treated him throughout the time they spent together...

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

I don't know...killing her was the only way he could set Henry free without her knowing and telling the others that Michael was the one who did it.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

It's true, redemption for Michael seems unlikely. I wonder if he will end up getting killed off by the beginning of next season -- perhaps in a final act that does serve as redemption.

I pictured you sitting there trying to think of something clever and deciding Grease would be it.

That's pretty much how it went. *g*

I hope Ray and Yolanda stay together, because they are adorable.

He proposed to her on the Early Show this morning and she said yes! Awww. ;)

Yes, Finola is an absolute breath of fresh air on GH. I personally don't see the problem with them firing MB and NL and giving their salaries to FH. Do you?

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

I heard! That makes me so happy.

I personally don't see the problem with them firing MB and NL and giving their salaries to FH. Do you?

That's the greatest idea ever.

When does Lost S2 come out on DVD?

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

Beginning of October, I think?

[skywaterblue.livejournal.com]

They'd better fucking move my show.

[tonycaselli.livejournal.com]

Finally got to watch my TiVo'ed AMAZING RACE finale! Yay Hippies! If it couldn't be the nerds (can't help it, I loved 'em!), the hippies were my next choice! I was disappointed there was no "Next season on The Amazing Race" thing like they do on Survivor. Can't remember if they've EVER done that, now that I think about it...

That article about the decline in viewers doesn't sound very positive, though, does it?! Man, I wasn't a big fan of the family edition either, but they sound a little like it was the show's death! I hope that's not the case!

So, now, my problem is this: West Wing is done, Survivor and TAR are off 'til Fall. Only one more episode of Lost. What the hell am I supposed to watch on TV?!
*sigh*
Good thing I've got a company to run.

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

I don't think they usually do a next season on TAR, thing. Although they did it at the end of Family Edition, probably to let us know salvation was on its way. *g*

What the hell am I supposed to watch on TV?!

The next Project Runway will be starting up soon.... :D

I hope Ray and Yolanda stay together, because they are adorable.

(ITA, btw) The whole crew were on The Early Show, where Ray unfolded himself from his folding chair, unwrapped a small turquoise-coloured box from a little establishment just down the street, and asked Yolanda to marry him. She said yes, of course. The techies proceeded to wheel out a cart with a cake and lots of plates etc, whereupon the hosts revealed she was the only one not in on the plot. Much rejoicing ensued. :-) (I wouldn't know any of this but for TiVO, at whose feet I worship.)
