Sunday TV Time
I’m backed up on a couple days but I figured I’d get this one out now while things are still fresh.
The L Word - This morning, I was bored at work, so I trolled around some non-TWoP boards to see what people are saying about this show. And, wow, it’s like night and day. Like, there are people who actually enjoy this show? As in totally love. Then, I started feeling bitter and envious because I just can’t suspend my disbelief THAT much. And figured, when I’m getting this pissed at other people’s enjoyment, it’s time to cut my losses.
What does this have to do with tonight’s show? Nothing, other than to explain why I watched about 2 minutes worth and turned to watch a repeat of Wonderfalls. I’m canceling my Showtime tomorrow. Masters of Horror is done for the season and Weeds won’t be back until March. And I’m paying way too much money for so little actual entertainment.
Cold Case - Hey! It’s Maggie from All My Children. And yay for Katherine Morris on getting those bangs to work for her. Plus, Tracie Thoms is totally working the butchie detective angle isn't she? Sure, they through a het-anvil with the kid, but I didn't see no Daddy hanging around!
Grey’s Anatomy - Anybody wanna have sex? Yes George, Izzie does..with Addison.
Whoa, I’m still trying to process that little bombshell regarding Izzie. Of course, it would have been nice had they foreshadowed this sometime before the 2 minute mark of THIS particular episode. I can’t decide if it’s character assassination or perfectly in character for Izzie. On the one hand, it explains a lot of her motivations. On the other, it completely doesn’t. But, still, her being pissy with Addison needs to end about as quickly as the fucking Meredith/Derek/Addison non-triangle. Either way, yes, I’m biased and thoroughly in lust but Izzie soo should have been the lead of this show..or Christina..or George, anyone but Meredith.
Christina and Burke are having the complicated, messy, adult relationship that TPTB want me to think Meh and McDipshit are. And, dammit, you don’t promise me BarFight!Christina! and not deliver.
I am glad that the Meh storyline related to Meh's mother. With all those baby and pregnancy anvils dropping frm the sky, I was worried they were going to tell me Meh is the Chief's daughter. I can suspend my disbelief and buy alot of the crap this show sells me. Meredith being half-black? Not one of them.
*sigh* I wanted to feel for Meh in the closet, I really did. But, they just had to make it McBastard to be the one to comfort her. I’m beginning to hate him more and more with every episode. And why am I supposed to find a married man making the moves on his subordinate romantic? Please Addison, pull your head out of your ass and divorce this guy already. Izzie NEEDS you!! This way you two can run off to the Hamptons, or better Hawaii, open your own practice together. It can be a spinoff, Sexy Lesbian Doctors or something.
ETA: I know what it is that totally bugs me about Derek. He's trying to work out his marriage. He knows Meredith needs space but he NEVER gives it to her. It's like he's subconsciously, or not so subconsciously, keeping himself in Meredith's life so she *can't* get over him. Because, him figuring out what he wants is more important than either the happiness of Meredith *or* Addison. And, he just comes across like a selfish ass instead of the sensitive nice guy I'm supposed to think he is.
I already miss Bailey.
