RE: end of season 4. Preggers.

 

Veronica Mars - A Trip to the Dentist

 

A brilliant almost Rashomon like 45 minutes. A wonderful example of how memory can be a tricky device (either intentionally or not). I love how they have the little details in there, like how during Meg's recollection you can hear Logan. Plus some great scenes such as when Veronica confronted Logan at the start, and then later Duncan and then confessing to Wallace. Plus lines such as:

 

"I'm going to find out who did this to me and I'm going to make them pay. Even if it was you. [pause] Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to throw up."

 

"You wrote 'slut' on my car last year at Shelly Pomeroy's end of year party. Why?"

"Because 'whore' had too many letters."

 

"You do not want to start today with me, Paco."

"Are you sure? It was in my day planner under 'Goals.'"

 

"[she's] Much like fake boobs - great to look at, but they don't do as much as you'd like them to."

 

I hate how it was cancelled. Furthermore I hate how it was cancelled for a fucking Pussycat Dolls show. Its like buying 'The Second Sex' from Amazon and it recommending you read one of Jordan's 'novels'.

 

Although I am amused by how

I've been watching this on E4 sporadically and I kinda forget how good it was. I used to own the two S1 and S2 on DVD but haven't seen S3 yet, so might have to pick that up.

 

I love how much of a badass Logan is, but not in the typical sense. Although I die a little inside everytime Duncan is in a scene. Pretty sure a sponge could put on a better performance than he does.

"Clue in, donut."

 

I love how Lilly is/was a better character than everyone on Glee, and she's dead! :p

 

I do enjoy Logan and his antics. Although I hate the rabbit 'will stab you if you oppose' fans. Although Dick is still my favourite male character. Such amazing lines ("its a crime to kill a Mexican?") and an enviable wardrobe :p

 

(utterly random but just reminded me to check and Ryan Hansen is wearing his invisible children bracelet in the FWB trailer, except the post-coital scene, which randomly crossed my mind earlier)

Glee- Dream On

 

The guy from How I Met Your Mother has a fantastic voice. His duet with Will singing Dream On was brilliant, that in itself made the episode awesome.

 

9.5/10

At the end of the first season of Chuck I enjoyed it, but didn't think it had very long legs. It seemed like the type of show that would stay the same until it gets canned. However, they've managed to keep it fresh and it looks like they're changing parts of the formula yet again. The finale was brilliant, and still managed to have plenty of fun moments in all the suspense and emotion.

 

I'm going through Firefly again and just noticed a scary name in the credits of one episode. The young version of Simon was played by some kid called Zac Efron, and it seems to have been his first TV role. I never realised that a show like Firefly could unleash something so horrible on the world.

Okay, so I finished Angel. Here's my thoughts on the series overall.

Just finished watching 24.

 

So awesome.

 

I was told the ending by someone which turned out not to be true...

 

So for the last 30 minutes I was waiting for whatever it was to happen.

 

So glad it didn't.

YES! I'm downloading now. Glad to hear you liked it.

 

Hey I watched Family Guy (Season 8? 9? The new one) Episodes 3-6

 

Holy crap. This is absolutely back on forme. The best episodes in ages! And I did like the last 4 or so seasons, but this is right up there with some of the best. All of them. Loved them. A lot. Laughed a huge amount.

 

One of the best gags ever.

 

Peter talks to a dead American president through a radio, ie EVP and he calls up Quagmire....

Yeah but he can be seen in much better and less rubbish things too :p

Yeah gotta give it to Chuck, they know how to keep things fresh.

 

I can't believe you didn't know about Efron in Firefly already. Shame the teenage girls didn't run out and buy the DVD years ago.

Chuck is too good. It has everything! In large doses! It's genuinely perfect.

 

True true!

 

Paj I believe at the end of S2 they basically said "its been quite 'heavy' this year, lets have a bit of fun!" I'm sure Joss said something like that at some point. Of course when they came back from the dimension they were smacked in the face by the real world again.

 

And they found out they were being cancelled on Feb 13th of whatever year it was, so they had a bit of time to jig around but not much.

Yeah I read a bit about the cancellation, how one of the writers blamed Joss for asking to be renewed to early or something...:hmm:

Glee - the newest one

 

Eh.

 

A good message though, and I liked how it actively confronted the moral issue of saying "fag" and the like in a good way that wouldn't just run off the metaphorical ducks back.

 

*shrugs*

 

No Sue. I feel cheated.

Paul Merton in China

 

I remember watching this series when it first aired, and really enjoying it. There's something about the production that betters most documentaries about certain countries. It has an enchanting quality somehow, and is really relaxing to watch. Plus Merton is awesome.

 

9/10.

24 : The Finale (Final three episodes I watched)

 

Episode 22 was one of the best episodes ever.

 

Combined with the other two episodes it made it kind of the perfect ending.

Half the time I'm not paying attention so I don't really have any clue what's going on but I love Ellen Parsons.

I'll probably be buying Fringe season one next week. I have watched a few of the early episodes but I stopped because I didnt like the main actress, she just always seemed to look angry no matter what was happening.

So you stopped watching it because you hated the main actress yet you are still going to buy it.
