surely that was an accident?

lizzy_copycatI'm all caught up. On all things television that I want to be caught up on, that it.
It's a little sad, since I timed it so perfectly with EVERYTHING that isn't complete crap being on hiatus. Go, me. :/
But having fallen so deep into the abyss of Boston Legal genius, I think it's been a while since I did this. I remember two VM episodes going by at least.
So let's just start there.
With a resounding WHAT THE FUCK??
Lamb is DEAD? I was never his biggest fan, which is not to say I didn't like him, just that I know others who like him more, but still. That was just a totally undignified way to go.
This is how I explain it: The day they were scheduled to start shooting that episode Rob was home sick somebody whose job it is to get the coffee accidentally burnt all the scripts. And spilled coffee into all the computers that had copies/drafts/hastily scribbled notes. Being desperate, this runner prints a random fanfic from the Pit and passes it off as that week's script. All the actors are confused by the horrendous plot but do their best to make it work. By the time Rob got back it was too late to fix it and that was that.
I dare you to come up with a better explanation. And "Muhney wanted out because he was sexually harassed by Dohring," is not going to fly.
This was one of those few times that I wish I had offered up my theories to the world. Because I totally saw that coming. Of course the TA set up the professor. I didn't guess that because I totally saw through hin, I guessed because I liked him, and that makes him a killer by default. Veronica figuring out in class and outing him the way she did was a bit lame, and really, she should have figured it out sooner. Oh well.
I still love you, Veronica.
I was also a bit disappointed by the coach's death just being a suicide. And I'm a little confused by how Keith, as sheriff, can just sit on that knowledge. I'm not a fan of Keith being sheriff. Sure he deserves it and he shouldn't have been fired in the first place and all that, but it's just more FUN when he's not. I predict conflicts between him and Veronica over law vs Nancy Drew-ness. Meh.
Logan/Parker you say? Well, I'll admit, I'm torn. It's stupid and annoying and a complete waste of my time, but on the other hand, it's Logan out of the way. As long as I don't have to watch any more of their "budding relationship" they can do whatever they like. OFF-screen. This is key.
Mac/What's-his-face bugged me too, for some reason, but I guess that's just because they were with Parker and Logan. As long as What's-his-face doesn't turn out to be another creep I'll be okay with it. I have no secret fantasies of Mac/Dick shipperiness. Actually, I think it would be a little gross.
But how much are we all loving the fact that Piz has been gone forEVER? Fingers crossed that he was eaten by sharks. (Or killed by a coconut, which apparently happens more often.)
Who will be MY Lorelai Gilmore?
Blah blah blah.
Logan is an ass, Emily is mean and insensitive, Richard is selfish and rude, Rory is all worked up but perfect, Lorelai handles everything. Whatever. I saw that episode already. Several times.
I will never like Liz and TJ. And not just because they named their kid Doolah. And for the first time I didn't like April, either. It just stinks when Luke is made all insecure about his life. It always leads to stupid things. Like weddings on boats.
I don't care about Luke and Lorelai. The chemistry is gone. They aren't each other's lobsters. If they are, they're boring lobsters, that's for sure. Someone probably ate Lorelai's lobster.
I'm betting it was Sookie, who had cravings because she's pregnant and annoying again. (Did we not all learn with JAG that pregnant women being insane and irrational for unnecessary comic relief is a BAD idea? Or was that just me?)
End now, show. Or, well, y'know, fix whatever and then end. I'm sure I won't notice either way. Whether or not you're fixing things, I mean. As opposed to when you're fucking them up.
Was there a Without a Trace episode?
I honestly can't remember. Oh, yes. They went to Phoenix or wherever. Danny or Elena may or may not have broken up. I thought that's what happened, but since when do break-ups end with hand-holding and giggling? So maybe she just meant "Don't get involved when my ex-husband is being semi-violent and disruptive in my workplace." Time will tell, I guess. If there's only stupid longing looks from Danny for the next couple of weeks they broke up, if there are stupid longing looks AND stupid kissing in the office then they didn't break up.
Once again I missed what may or may not have been a look/moment/mass-delusion. Clearly, I'm not a very observant person. I'm probably distracted by the bad acting.
I don't think I'm even a shipper anymore. Because I didn't care when there was no moment. I don't get all giddy because "Oooh! Sam and Martin are in a scene together! OMG! She asked the witness a question! She totally still loves Martin. I could just tell from the way she randomly intonated that sentence. OMGOMGOMG!"
I'm taking the scientific approach: How long will it take for the rest of the world to realize the ship went the way of the Titanic and how much are they able to misinterpret every single tiny irrelevant detail? Also, how long because someone officially recants on the "OMG! Poppy is totally pregnant! I can like totally tell by how she doesn't work out and looks like crap!" I'm just a detached observer now, but I do get annoyed by the stupidity at times.
There was only one episode of Bones.
I'm pretty sure of that.
That's because I had it lying around forever while I watched something else, thinking "Well, it's just Bones. Silly crime-solving plots. Whatever, it can wait." I was confusing it with WaT.
I honestly don't remember the plot, and I found the whole basketball/display of masculinity bit stupid. But that's because Sully plays ball like he's gay. Which is fine, but not really appropriate when he's supposed to be showing off his cool. To a GIRL.
Booth however was cool. "I'm going to need flashier ties." Twu wuv. Awww. This is shippyness on a level that I can appreciate.
There should be more frequent episodes so I don't keep forgetting why I watch. I'm sure that must be a common problem.
Boston Legal gets a post of its own later on. Or possibly with the next Without a Trace. Which will only make it look even better by contrast.
For now my experiment is failing. Not my fault. I blame the internet. And James Spader. Mostly him, I guess. Conan O'Brien seems a little lame, though.
