A few TV thoughts

[bigboobedcanuck]

1. *cringecringecringe* when Cat Deeley asked single Kent who his ideal woman was. Uh, one with a penis, Cat.

2. Ryan Murphy provides such moments of joy with Glee, and such moments of frustration. The lack of consistent characterization and at times epically lazy writing (see: St. James, Jesse -- mustache twirling) holds this show back from being

I think Shelby realized that she wanted the baby she never had, not an almost grown Rachel. You can say that makes her a terrible person but I think it protects her from feeling the pain of all those lost years.

Something was really off about the Jesse storyline. It never made sense to me. I have heard that the episodes were out of order and that they had to made changes but they should have done a better job of pulling the storyline together.

I did not mind Finn saying ILY because he seemed to realize he loved her weeks ago - as soon as he could not have her when Jesse came on the scene. Besides this is high school and the ILY's can get thrown around a lot.

I think the show is at risk for an early burnout if someone does not slow down and make a plan of where the show should go. It got a little chaotic this year.

Love True Blood and hope it follows the books as far as Eric and Bill are concerned. But even with the books I fear that by the time the author ends the series (and she said it will have a definite end not that far in the future) Bill will win Sookie's hand.

I have no problem with her ALSO having a baby now, but it was just so cruel to Rachel. Especially since it was Shelby who initiated their meeting in the first place. I mean, Rachel is 15 -- still needs plenty of mothering.

They totally screwed the pooch with Jesse and ITA that they need to make a long-term plan for the characters instead of just throwing stuff at the wall each week and seeing what sticks.

It's funny, I actually LOVE Bill in the books. But Stephen Moyer is just an awful actor and not attractive to me in the slightest, and Bill on the show is so unappealing. I've always enjoyed Eric in the books but didn't want him with Sookie in the end. I haven't read the latest book yet, so we'll see how I feel. But for the TV show, Eric all the way!

I am a big Eric fan from the books and show but I thought last year's book "Dead and Gone" (the first book in the series that I did not like) signaled a Bill and Sookie reunion in the future.

[bigboobedcanuck]

Yeah, I've been expecting all along it will be Bill and Sookie in the end. I just hope I will still like Bill when I read the next book and that Moyer hasn't ruined him for me!

See, I'm exactly the opposite. Okay, not exactly, but --

I haaaaate Bill in the books (lying jackass that he is!). I don't like him in the show much, either, but I like him more because of Stephen Moyer's ridiculously bad portrayal of him. heh

I agree with you. The book Bill is not honest and true. Book Eric looks out for his best interests but he always is there for Sookie and he has saved her bacon many times so I hate the idea that she might end up with Bill.
