I don't understand - isn't Conan just coming on an hour earlier? Is the show going to change?

Well, you can walk down the street in Boston without having to dodge trash, so Boston wins. (I live in Philly, I like Philly, but goddamn the people here are the worst litterers I have ever seen. There are portions of my bus route where I cannot look out the window for fear of the onset of nausea.)

One more vote for Philly. Perhaps in the fifth or sixth wave, we will be recognized.

San Diego is great, if you like 24 Donut/Chinese food restaurants, strip malls, and not much else. The weather is freaking amazing, though, and the people are nice as long as you stay away from PB and the Gaslamp.

Bones and Booth have chemistry, even if, realistically, they have nothing in common. They clearly adore each other. 13 and Foreman just don't look or act like people in love, or even in like.

Isn't that kind of what the clinic is for? Remember the clinic? Sigh.

I think the show would suffer for losing Cameron, honestly. She's the only character with any degree of non-jadedness (except, maybe, maybe, Kutner). I enjoyed her little, "You want him to come? You should tell him." tonight. She's so completely right and so completely wrong, simultaneously, which is more

There is no god
Or if there is, he really digs crappy TV. I'm willing to go out on a limb and say it; this show isn't good anymore. I thought this episode was just terrible. Everyone's machinations are so transparent, it's not fun anymore. Tonight House actually said, "I'm incapable of acting like a human being."

That's always sort of bothered me. I mean, their spines light up! You're telling me a doctor can't differentiate a Lite Brite spine from a regular one?

As far as learning new things, an ongoing problem caused by people getting old, dying, and ceasing to exist is that things get forgotten and mis-filed. For instance, in BSG, the secret to resurrection. (For a real world example, you could take Mendel's research being lost and rediscovered). New generations are

Most, if not all, of Anders' team survived initially. They were up in the mountains for training.

What is Alan Moore's lizard religion? He isn't one of those people who think the world is secretly run by humanoid lizard creatures, is he?

I don't think it's necessary that the writers know everything going on, but if the Lost writers had no idea, say, what the big secret behind the island was, or what the smoke monster was, I'd be worried.

I think it's a shame that no one has shown Tyra that the option of going to junior college for a year and then transferring somewhere more ambitious is perfectly valid. She's clearly imploding a bit under the pressure, and, realistically, she's probably right to be pessimistic. But her all-or-nothing approach

I think one of the problems with this season (and "problem" is really too strong a word; I think this season has been fantastic), is that we really only know 3 members of the current team, and Landry's stories are never really football related. So, we have Matt and Riggins, both good players living in the shadow of

There was a lot of weirdness surrounding that reshoot - it definitely sounded to me like Joss did it under duress, but was towing the party line. But, perhaps you are right. Isn't the original pilot supposed to be the second or third episode?

The scene where Caroline talks to the headmistress lady? To show that she wasn't really willing, and that the Actives have set "tours of duty", and that you have to be at the end of your rope to "volunteer", and that Echo was a real person before all of this. I agree, it was not a great scene, but those were the

Cordelia was the name of a girl who was mean to Joss's wife in high school. And Buffy is supposed to be a ridiculous name, that's the point.

The most apparent difference so far is that, while the premise of this show has some weaknesses, it is not, at this point, obviously batshit insane.

It's not likely that Fox was like "Hey, Joss, Eliza's great and all, but we have this actress, she's 4'9", 220 and has a harelip, we think she'd just be great as Echo." To which Joss then replied "No fat chicks." He lives in the same world as the rest of us, and that is a world where tv actresses weigh 90 pounds and
