New Challenge Tonight

1,217 Comments

I have no logo for my new show. It makes me want to shout, “Where my homies logos at?!?” The RW/RR Challenge: The Island debuts tonight, and as always, I’ll be watching. Even though I won’t know half of the contestants, after this season, they’ll be like old friends to me when I see them on their next challenge. Whoo hoo!

I’ve been croupish for a week and a half now. I’m over it. Well, I’m not over it, I’m over the thought of it. Go away, hack. I have no doubt that if I put the Newports down, it’ll get better faster, so I guess I really can’t complain too much, but still…. Oh, and if I could only remember to NOT BITE MY NAILS, especially at the start of the school year, I probably wouldn’t have caught this mess in the first place. Bah!

College Fair tomorrow…wish me luck! It’ll be a miracle if this thing happens at all. 😳

True Enough

I’m convinced that HBO’s new series, True Blood, is in fact, just Natural Born Killers with vampires. It’s got the same white-trash-montage in the credits and the same dirty feel. There’s plenty of gore, sex, and uncomfortable moments as the characters, none of which are particularly stellar, move among each scene with a low class desperation. That said, I won’t loop it, but I’ll watch it.

As for SGA, I’m glad it was canceled. This perverse sense of loyalty I have keeps me watching even though it feels like we’ve already seen every episode, some of them twice. Case in point: Last night, the team stumbled upon one of Michael’s labs. I’ve already said that Michael as an archenemy is a lame storyline, so imagine the fun of finding his lab, for the 2486th time. Wow. Actually, this episode was made better by the addition of a bunch of chicks, none of which we cared one bit about. Swell. Lest you think the fun was all wrapped up in last night’s episode, you get this to look forward to: Next week Teyla goes undercover on a Wraith ship because of her wraith properties…AGAIN.

Possible New Show Alert

Although I had heard about NBC’s adaptation of Crusoe a while ago, I kind of forgot about it. I already watch Heroes from NBC, and thanks to our Democratic politicians, I am not permitted to receive the NBC channel, so I’m hesitant about adding another fandom that I can’t watch first run.

What could possibly change my mind? Sean Bean. The new lead actor playing Crusoe looks amazingly like Bean, and Bean is aptly cast as his father. I don’t think his role is very large, however. Although the trailers for the show all tout his involvement, the Crusoe site doesn’t include him in the “Bio” section, so that makes me a bit leery.

I guess the bottom line is something we all already know: If Sean Bean is onboard at all, I’m watching. :wink2:
