is it just me, or does Wilson seem smart enough to realize the patient LIKED having a death sentence without having to have it hammered into his head? And to mention that it isn't exactly Wilson's fault that the reprieved patient can't continue to live each moment? I just kept waiting for either him or House to come

I thought his mannerisms worked really well in this movie. He was disturbingly recognizable to me…and I'll just leave it at that.

oh hey and
McGuyver and The Muppet Show, my two childhood favorites

my suggestions
My votes are for the Chris Carter oeuvre (X-Files, Millennium, Harsh Realm, Lone Gunmen), the Joss Whedon oeuvre (Buffy, Angel, Firefly), and some of the entertaining sci-fi that's died, like Dark Angel, Red Dwarf, etc.
Also, a plug for Wonderfalls, the shortlived show by the creator of Pushing Daisies.

hey, good call, Boing. This show asks us to accept a lot of things before it twists or reframes them, and I'd accepted at face value that Claire's mom wasn't lying when she said Nathan was Claire's dad. She sure could have been, though. And having Claire and Adam closely related makes a golly lot of sense.

besides, when you're six and you see a really old dude who looks a little like your dad, when you KNOW your dad is over there mourning your mom, would it really occur to you that there might be two of them, and one of them has time traveled to get here? I think not.

OMG! Who's that!
I read on another board, but haven't been bored enough to look for it myself, that post-boot Victoria (who I really liked for not buying into the show's solipsistic hype) said that the models had to reshoot each scene if the producers didn't think they were excited enough. I.E. if they didn't squeal

I'll give a second to coverage of Bones. The Bones/House duo really makes two darn good hours of TV. The weekly mysteries are great, and the sexual tension between Brennan and Booth is off-kilter and entertaining.

Oh, it's brilliant tripe! Nicely spiced with self-aggrandizing hosts and surreal challenges. Watching the well-adjusted girls get increasingly maladjusted thanks to the bitchiness and general absurdity is like watching a car wreck. I've even developed a complicated sociological theory to justify why I watch every

Jaime goes supersonic
Did anyone else's ears bleed during Jaime's aside from the banquet? when she was talking about the booze? at a pitch that should have broken the ceramic they were drinking the booze out of? I missed the next five minutes of dialog as my ears readjusted to normal widths of sound waves.

Larry Craig is nowhere cool enough to say "Jiminy Christmas." And I say that as an Idaho resident.

reaction shots
I'm glad someone other than the sadly now-gone Victoria is unable to quite muster the requisite screamy reactions that seem de rigeur among the models. Seriously, some of us girls have never shrieked in our lives, let alone every half hour when someone mentions Tyra. Why must the ability to emote for

I'll admit some Bale-fangirl-dom, and I'd *like* to see an analysis of some actress's roles from a horny male AV Club writer. The thing is, it'd have to be an actress who isn't known for romantic movies or typical sex-symbolness, so Angie's out. That's what's interesting about this blog, is that

Catch-10,000
Wait just a cotton-pickin' minute here. Hype Machine won't go live until enough people visit the site…but doesn't a site need to be live for anyone to visit it?
Even worse, the site apparently wants 10,000 people AT ONCE (there were 1615 when I just clicked on). That's gonna be a long wait…although the

and alliteration, too
to Donoly: way to point up the irony of Taco Bell "supporting" indie-rockers by promoting the "if-other-people-like-it, it-must-suck" attitude of many hipster indie-rockers: "Spanish Boots is a great song because no one knows about it".
There are so many levels of sarcastic solipsism here I don't

sex, artiness and videotape
seriously, folks, what's wrong with showing real sex in a movie? I think traditional cinema and porn would both benefit from more overlap between them. It irks me when a movie starts a sex scene that advances the plot and characters and then they cut away to laying sweaty in bed, and you've

Three cheers for weird
to Laidback: remember "Harsh Realm?" No? Right then.
I don't think it was necessarily Chris Carter's pull that kept Millennium on the air, or we would have had more than three episodes of Harsh Realm aired.
In some ways, I liked Millennium better than The X-Files (the XF fangirl in me is

hmm. Might not fit this show, but kawaii:

Although Dead Like Me definitely shows Fuller's fingerprints, I'd say Wonderfalls is

exactly how is her vagina relevant to this? I mean maybe I'm out of the loop here, but I just don't get it.

Eureka!
It's been bugging me ever since I saw Ebony in motion (not so obvious in still photos). She looks incredibly alike Freema Agyeman, who plays Martha Jones on the new Doctor Who (except Ebony has darker skin).
