Elementary and Scandal are both back this week. Woo. Allow me to summon up all my ambivalence…

No matter how bad I thought this show might get, I was on board as soon as they said "Justin Kirk" and "as a vet who loves animals but hates people." But this episode strained all my patience - all I could do was sigh and roll my eyes the whole way through.

I like how both Gen-Y and certain politicians are acting as if underemployment is this totally new thing that's happening. I remember 10 years ago meeting MBAs who were working retail while the Bush administration was bragging about employment numbers and the strength of the economy.

I didn't love IJWMPB, but I didn't hate it either. I'm not surprised MTV cancelled it (they have such a long history of horrible programming decisions after all), but it's perplexing why they would then order up a show that's basically a carbon copy.

I don't know which I'm more tired of seeing each tv season - good premises for series being squandered with bad plotting, or talented actors being wasted in such shows.

Yeah, I couldn't get over how she just gave up the whole thing that easily. No half-truth, no misdirect, just tell the angry warlord everything short of drawing him a map to the location of each MacGuffin.

Well she's really skinny so of course she must be incredibly attractive (and also by that same logic a great actress)!

Don't hate Grey’s Anatomy for the perpetuation of the “female as general disaster” genre. Not when there's so much hate to still be thrown at Ally McBeal…

Good god, EVERY work place environment is like high school! I've never been in an office with more than ten people where that wasn't the case.
