The Thursday TV thoughts, plus a close shave...
I just finished watching the trailer for Sweeney Todd. My gut instinct? When did Jack Sparrow turn into Edward Scissorhands and what would Wade "Cry Baby" Walker say? In other words: LOL!
Ugly Betty - Still love it. Marc/Justin 4EVA! Really the most solid show I've watched of the season so far because it's doing what it does best: focusing on the people we know and love. Everything from House to Heroes has imported The Others.... newbies who take away from the established group. And, no, newbies aren't always bad, especially when used minimally, but the UB gang is all our favorites, wackier, and more well written than ever.
Supernatural - Still love it. My Sam is SO PRETTY.

OMG! She was BLONDE! And she SAVED SAM with a MAGIC KNIFE! She's SUCH A MARY SUE! That stupid bitch, I wish she'd die.

I had absolutely no problem with Ruby or Bella, or whichever one she was, popping up for all of four minutes and then going away. That was perfect. She was pretty, she was badass, she left, and Dean got to make fun of his brother for being one-upped by a girl.
Not to mention the fact that CyberTamara was way, way more badass and I hope *she* returns. I recognized her right off the bat as Ianto's metal cone galpal, Lisa, from Torchwood and she was just a really nice addition to the Bobby/Sam/Dean team for the week. I mean, see, there were two girls in the episode and it did NOT take away from Sam and Dean's dynamic. They were still there, still them, and I loved Sam lecturing Dean at the end for his laissez faire attitude about dying. That was a great exchange.
-Leo offering to sacrifice himself sexually so Regina could graduate from the nursing program? Bwah! Oh, so noble, Dr. Julian.
-I loved and hated the shootout montage. (Guess we couldn't get out of something GH-related without one). I hated it because we can't seem to escape the stupid violence. I loved it because of the character dynamics. I loved Spinelli carrying Jolene's body... because that's the first time we've seen the character do something typically "manly." It was tender and it was strong and that's the Spin I could tolerate if we saw him more often. I LOVED Jason saving Robin and Patrick looking on like, "Holy shit, I can't compare to THAT." I'm not even an R/J 'shipper, but that moment when she nodded at him just slightly to shoot? Fabulous.
-I loved Kelly and Andy's 74 day bet, with the tantalizing promise that they'll sleep together after it.
-I HATED that there was no Cody and Lainey. What the fuck was that about?
-The cheesetastic Brenda reveal should have been on GH during the day.
Overall, it just felt like the whole season WAS Robin's injury-induced hallucination. 'Cause it was too good to be true and this last episode basically returned us to Kansas from Oz. Violence and the Jason Show... that's what GH is now.
I just want my doctors and nurses, dammit!
