wha
How is it that we're 4 eps in and now we're waiting until March and we still haven't seen a lizard?

I liked Pattern Recognition okay, but it wasn't great. Spook Country was kind of bad (I don't know how long he expects people to hang out with characters sitting around being amazed at technology that isn't particularly interesting or new) and I'm hoping the third book in the series isn't about some variation of a

People like Mieville? I tried reading Perdido Street Station and gave up. That book is terrible.

Wow. That's terrible. Maybe this show really is destined to suck.

Well, clearly going under the radar and pretending to be human has some advantage for the Vs, even if we don't know what that advantage is yet. Otherwise, they would have just attacked us from the start and not even bothered with dressing up like hot actresses. Therefore, I figure, a rebellious V taking off his skin

Exactly. Show's over. We can call it a night.

I dunno
If the rogue Vs that are joining the resistance really wanted to mess up the aliens, couldn't they just go into a crowded space and rip off their face or something? And be all, "Hey, I don't even have a passport, 'cause like, I've been living here for ten years." That seems like it might work.

This episode
gets an A+ just because Christopher is finally, finally gone. Thank you.

Christopher
How the hell is Christopher still on this show? He's in the bottom three so much that it should be his mailing address. Seriously, this is the 4th show in a row that he's squeaked by. What do they see in this guy?

Ugh.
I hate how this show will let people languish at the bottom 3 for weeks on end, but the first time someone I like is on the chopping block, they're gone.

I watched the first season and my primary thoughts on it were that I liked the ambivalent roads it occasionally tread down as well as the potential for interesting ideas to play with, but that the show failed on a basic entertainment level. The action and drama were flat and forced and the bits of humor typically

Shirin's luck
What is this, two weeks in a row now that Shirin was last to pick for the challenge? The girl needs some new luck. And maybe a new hat. But I'm still rooting for her.

Her being really really cute is pretty much the only reason I'm rooting for her (although if she were a really terrible designer, I don't think I'd be in her corner.) Nobody in the group is really standing out to me as being great, so I'll just go with what I got.

Uh oh.
Two small quibbles: "meercat" should be "meerkat" and YOU ACCIDENTALLY PUT SHIRIN IN THE BAD COLUMN.

hmm
I watched probably half of last season of this show and liked it, but mostly because I really like Tim Roth. I liked the firm's cases more than I liked the minor looks at their personal lives, and for some reason, I always thought the transition photos were pretty awesome. If the series were honed a bit, it

Pshaw
Your other write-up looked like a big red mess.

blues brothers
I think the Blues Brothers is the only thing I've ever seen him in, but boy he was great in that.

I didn't hate Juno, but I didn't get the praise for it, either. A high school kid gets pregnant and then proceeds to deal with precisely none of the problems that might occur in such a situation. Everything is just kind of handed to her on a plate, things turn out okay, then she receives tic tacs, then there's a

I'll buy one if it includes her hand in marriage.

Apartment buildings
I hate when apartment buildings are made out to be full of colorful characters and a diverse arrangement of wacky people from all backgrounds and everyone knows each other and they all hang around and gossip about Mrs. Henderson in 1B.
