It's hot. Too hot! Too hot in the hot tub! And last week we had almost too much rain. This week we need rain.

The Spousal Unit flies out tomorrow morning for a day long trip to Michigan and back. I hate it when he has to travel for work. I never get used to it, after all these years.

Why aren't I seeing new entries on my FList until days after they've been posted? Why why why???

I mean, seriously - Callum at a convention? Live, in front of people? Real people? He does understand that there will be people at this thing,

Oh, Callum. I'm sure he's deluded himself into thinking it will be fun. Does no one care enough about him to sell him a clue??

I'm d/l Eureka right now. I didn't dare look for a recap, since you warned me that the end is actually crucial.

OMG, I'd almost forgotten how slashy the Jordan/Shawn relationship used to be until Shawn and Kyle were talking about what used to be in that scene.

The make-up sex is going to be brutal. *g*

I like the ability they gave to April, and I like how they wrapped up her story line, finally making her useful and independent and responsible for her own actions.

I was having a serious hate-on for April in this episode, up until the end. I have trouble watching things like her relationship with Diana because it diminishes Diana so much in my eyes to put up with such a selfish, useless drain on her emotional energies. I know that IRL people do put up with far worse from family, but TV is my wish-fulfillment, and I'd love to see more character say "fuck off" and mean it to annoying and life-sucking familial units.

So, the end was satisfying in that it still recognizes that April cannot ever be trusted to do the right thing, and will have minders directing her every action from now on. It gives Diana both the peace of mind she deserves, and protects her from further disappointments from April.

True, plus we had April acknowledging that she couldn't be trusted and needed the minders to keep her on the straight and narrow. So, the growth was there by the end to an extent.

And, of course, Diana finally gets to admit she wants to stay in Seattle - though I wonder how long the boyfriend is going to be happy with that decision? I wouldn't mind if he dropped out of the picture, though, because I've never been all that crazy about him, I have to admit. I like Tom for her - or even Marco. :)
