TV Quickies


Eyes continues to impress with its clever characters and slick execution. Eric Mabius plays yet another psychologically screwed-up character to the hilt. I?m almost over expecting A J Langer to spin around full of ?free spirit? and begging Angela Chase to go to some cool party that a senior is throwing. Tim Daly plays cool and somewhat amoral Harlan Judd to a ?T?. Who knew Superman could be more than a boy scout?

I?d like to thank Alias? Arvin Clone for making the show worth watching again. The Alias crew had an uninterrupted season and all they did was waste it on sibling relationship building, Vaughan?s dead daddy and only one very cool episode focusing on Marshall(finally). Marshall explaining the mechanics of the ?spork? to Jack Bristow makes me chuckle every time.

Tune in next week for a new ?review? episode of Lost. In other words a fucking clip show. Does anyone remember when clip shows were something to be despised and ridiculed? Advertising re-tread footage as new goodness is just left of stupid.

The world stops when Deadwood airs at 8 P.M. on Sunday. The door is not answered. The phone rings unheeded. Pausing the show is right out. Though rewinding is permitted and used often. Between Miss Isringhausen’s newly cuntish behaviour, Al Swearengen’s gleets(remind me to never time travel and get sick in the 1800s), a whorehouse massacre, and trading math lessons for fucks, the “real world” can be ignored for an hour.

Dr House continues to be a joy to watch. Too bad the rest of the characters aren?t.

Fullmetal Alchemist went from being a happy, sugar high pre-teen to an angsty existential 16 year old in 2 episodes flat. Awesome.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex?s Laughing Man has hacked my eyes and fully controls everything I see and hear. And what I see is fucking good shit.

Zatch Bell? the jury is still in recess.

Scrubs regularly injects me with the healing power of laughter. And Carla wearing a hat, any hat, is abso-fucking hot as snot.

More time wasting musings next week.
