definitely, possibly, maybe

somehow i always feel like i'm running behind. oh well. i've been more or less keeping up with the dvr and figured it was about time to publish my thoughts. because i can. so "the incident" that gh is counting down to is driving me insane. not because it isn't well-executed, because if there is one thing that gh does well it is sweeps events. i just hate the drawn out anticipation, why won't things just happen already!! hopefully the rumored deaths won't involve characters i like or legacy characters that form the show's core. here's a list of people i think can go: 1. kate howard -- what is the point of her character now? her fabulous bob is returning but will be forever sullied by the insane mob apologist she became. megan ward has zero chemistry with maurice bernard, kate and sonny were a snooze-a-thon. lately kate wanders around town throwing hissy fits at olivia, claudia or carly, and threatening to fire maxie and lulu at every turn. 2. nadi...

wow. just wow. i watched the first two episodes of " lost " last night. i have no idea what is going on. other than it is awesome. i mean everything in the first episode clicked perfectly. the episode opened typically enough, some person waking up at 8:15 starting their day, you don't see their face until a few minutes have gone by, and you are left speculating...is that jin? with another asian woman and a new baby? is it jack, has he somehow put his life back together and left the island behind? instead it is dr. marvin candle aka a number of other names. and we realize then that this is taking place when the dharma initiative was first on the island. and suddenly daniel faraday shows up in the frame and who knows how he got there in the first place? the show takes us back to the events of the season finale, this time from the point of view of those left behind on the island. everything is different. there is no beach camp. as the core group of left-behinders explore, th...

huh, so i'm finally all caught up with "general hospital" i mean, like i watched a whole month's worth of episodes over the last couple of days. i often find that catching up with gh is a lot of work, and not work that is particularly rewarding. however, much to my surprise in the last month a good amount of gh was actually entertaining. unlike my year in review, i think i should start with the bad first. work it out of my system so that this post ends on a high note. claudia and the search for the hidden dvds oh jerry jacks, why did you have to come back for this? so many gh characters taunt us with leaving and then randomly show up when we least expect them, but at least track-suit wearing alan quartermaine is somewhat welcome. you are just smug and annoying in your britishness when you are supposed to be australian and i can't get past how the writers clearly had no idea what to do with you as a character since you pinged and ponged from maniacal to skeevy f...

i meant to do this earlier, but circumstances beyond my control prevented my posting this any sooner. without more ado, the 2008 year in review... the good true blood and all that is sookie stackhouse i fell in love with the television series and then with the books. i can't believe that i have to wait until summer for the second season and until may for the next book to be released. i fell in love with vampires again, who knew that after "buffy the vampire slayer" and "angel" ended that i would one day be anticipating a show about vampires every week. "true blood" is a lavish production with amazing visuals and a lush sense of ambience. it's a pleasure watching not only for the story, but also for the amazing sense of place that the show gives you. it's like bon temps is real and all the crazy vampire stuff a possibility. gossip girl i can't say enough about "gossip girl" other than it is the best show on television. again a show...
