    Veronica Mars Season 3

    Okay, you're right about that, that was a good fight scene between Keith and Aaron. But the fights involving Logan, Weevil and the PCHers have generally been pretty badly done imho. Given that Logan would not have much time to beat up Mercer before the deputies broke it up, I don't know if...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    This episode was fantastic. I have no complaints at all. Yeah, it would have been nice to see Logan bash Mercer's head in, but this show has never been very good with the fight scenes so perhaps it's better left to the imagination. I hate to see Begley go because I thought he was great as...

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    I like Lee, but I also thought "Black Market" was the weakest episode of the entire series so far. It felt like an entirely different show. The premise made no sense and we were given all this backstory out of nowhere. And where did this prostitue come from? We've never seen her before but...

    The Amazing Race 10

    After all this time, I still can't tell the Blondes apart or the Models, for that matter. They just look and act too much alike. Funny how people gravitate to others who are so much like themselves. I forget which is Lyn and which is Karlyn of the Bama team, but I don't think they look alike...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    Totally agree. Those scenes were very well done and I was really feeling the tension and suspense and fearing for Veronica. Otoh, that high level of tension didn't last long when Veronica was constantly breaking into comedy routines. She thinks she's being stalked by a rapist and she's doing...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    This episode was all over the place. There were so many pop-culture references that it was hard to keep up. Bud Rose? Heh. I did catch that one. And the Bionic Woman. But Veronica was SO quippy that she bordered on manic. It was odd, given that she was just drugged and attacked by...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    I agree that the promos in general suck. They totally mis-represent what this show is all about, and I think that many people who would love VM are probably put off by the cheesy promos. I thought that about the UPN promos and the CW promos haven't been any better. VM is not OTH but I think a...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    Call Cliff and get off. Cliff makes the most of every scene he's in. I always love an episode more when Cliff shows up. And since I knew that the actor does a lot of VO work, that made it even funnier.

    The Office: Season 3

    I loved this episode, as usual. Angela stole the show for me, with her determination to hate everything about Diwali. And her annoyance at Dwigt for getting so into it. I'm a vegetarian, is there anything I can eat? It's all vegetarian. *annoyed sigh* I'll just have some bread.

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    Tonight is the first time that VM will be going up against House after it returns from the baseball hiatus, so maybe the CW is waiting to see how many viewers VM loses to House. If the VM ratings hold fairly steady, I would think it's in a good position to finish out the season, although a...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    I thought this episode got a lot of the "noirish" feel back of the old VM, with more night scenes, etc. I also thought it was more complex than the previous S3 episodes, with 3 distinct storylines, so that helped it feel more like the old VM also. So maybe they are transitioning from "VM...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    At the time they filmed the S2 finale, the producers had no idea whether VM would have a third season, so I'm glad they didn't go that route. Plus, I like the idea of each season having everything (or most things) wrapped up at the end. There are a lot of shows that drag out things...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    In the VM Pilot, Veronica says in a voiceover: "Quite a reputation I've got there. Want to know how I lost my virginity? So do I." So the fact that she was date raped a few months before was definitely something that was brought up in the Pilot, flashbacks included, even though Veronica...

    Heroes season 1 thread

    The tattoo was on Mirror-Niki's back, but I don't think we've seen it on regular Niki. And in that shot of her waking up in the hotel bed, we saw her shoulder, but I don't think the tattoo was there. So either it's not on regular Niki, or for some reason, she hasn't noticed it, or they are...

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    Lee outranks Tigh? I thought Tigh was a Colonel (Lt. Colonel?) and Lee was a Major. (Not to be confused with Lee Majors.) Oh, never mind. Lee was promoted to Commander when he took over Pegasus. Duh. But yeah, I think the shifting ranks and roles should provide a lot of drama in the...

    Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Oct 06)

    The Resurrection Ship allowed the Cylons to regenerate if they were killed way out in space far from their home, wherever that is. But they can still be resurrected if they are killed closer to home. It's also possible they've created another Resurrection Ship, I guess.

    The Office: Season 3

    Dwigt is a big fan of both Lost and Battlestar Galactica, like all good geeky fanboys everywhere. ;) On his blog, he even talks about what a Lost/BSG crossover would be like, if the BSG crew landed on the Lost island. He thinks Starbuck and Sawyer would hook up. Heh. I was just "meh" on...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    Hearst is indeed in Neptune. In "Rapes of Graff," Veronica tells Wallace that she's not keen on going to Hearst: "If it were in, say, Maine, I’d be excited. But it’s in Neptune, so I’m not excited." Keith did say that Hearst was several exits away from their home but it's still referred to...

    The Office: Season 3

    I agree that Michael's insane hatred of Toby is hilarious, especially considering that Toby is about as mild-mannered as they come. That is one of my favorite ongoing bits. I hate so much . . . about the things that you choose to be.

    Tina Fey's "30 Rock" season 1 thread

    I agree with most people that the second episode was an improvement on the first, but not by much. It is not as funny as I expected it to be, or would like it to be. The flash card bit was funny though. "That's Heidi Klum. That's the guy sleeping with Heidi Klum." And Alec Baldwin is going...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    I get what you are saying and I can't disagree. I think this season -- or at least this first mystery dealing with the rapes, anyway -- is going to be about Hearst more than Neptune at large. Hearst is its own community and freshmen in particular probably don't have a lot of dealings with...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    I understand all that, but his mother's suicide was almost two years ago and he found out about his father's killing Lilly over a year ago. So I get that he's troubled and damaged, but that's who he has been in the entire series. I don't expect him to be sweetness and light because then he...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    I agree to a certain extent, but otoh, I felt that way about the early episodes of S2 also, which really took its time getting into things. And so far, I've enjoyed the first three episodes of S3 more than I did in S2. I'm so glad Weevil is back and his scenes with Keith were great. I also...

    Those Aerie Girls are the reason I have TiVo. I FF right through them.

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    It's definitely one of the main reasons I love her so much, and the show. But I definitely think female characters are held to a completely different standard and are expected to be "nice" by much of the viewing audience. I read a lot of comments on other boards about how Veronica is a...

    Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip - Season One

    I thought they made it very clear in the first couple of episodes that it was Harriet who broke up with Matt. During their fight over Jeannie, I thought Matt specifically said that Harriet was the one who had dumped him, so she really had no right to be so mad. Am I remembering that wrong...

    The Amazing Race 10

    I don't mind the idea of an all-star TAR, so long as it's limited to teams that didn't win the first time around. Since Colin and Christie and Mirna and Schmirna have already been invited apparently, I'd like to see some of the nicer and funnier teams balance out the annoying ones. Bring...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    I think of that way also: Veronica believes in calling things as she sees them (at the time) and is not afraid to stand up to people and potentially antagonize them. She also does things without thinking through the consequences. All these qualities are going to land her in hot water all the...

    The Amazing Race 10

    I'm really glad they did away with the begging stuff. That was a bad idea from the get-go and I wish they had done away with that sooner. Otoh, I don't understand why they did away with the maximum-6 roadblock rule. Wasn't that rule popular after the Flo/Zach and Colin/Christie teams where...

    Veronica Mars Season 3

    I liked this episode better than the premiere. I thought the sorority rush stuff was funny because the dresses and the singing were eerily accurate depictions of what I remember of sorority rush. And KBell did her usual magic with the line deliveries. And sure, the prison experiment...
