Just a Bunch of Random Items I Don't Want to Forget To Mention

Was anyone else disappointed in last night's Chuck? Half way through I began to think I should have watched House instead. That's about the same time I gave up trying to use the 3D glasses which didn't work well and hurt my eyes. But my main problem was the actual plot. Chuck has a far fetched premise that, by and large, they've been able to

Stephen Fry has Twitter. Neil Gaiman has Twitter. Joe Hill has a blog and now PRINCESS LEIA has a blog.

Oh god. I love the internet.

I just learned the other day Stephen Fry was on Twitter. Now, if only Hugh Laurie would get on and have a conversation with him. :)

I almost posted the Carrie "Princess Leia" Fisher has a blog, but then I thought the poor woman gets labeled with that enough. Though I give her a lot of credit for not just recognizing that is a significant part of her life and career, but being so willing to talk about it, sometimes at length, after all these years.

I couldn't stand that episode of Chuck. It was dull, unfunny, and lame. Not to be harsh. Sorry. But I think they let the 3D thing distract them from doing what they do well.

[asta77]

Hee. I'd hate to see your harsh. ;) But I pretty much agree with your assessment. Not only did they allow the 3D gimmick to get the better of them, I'm sure it's no coincidence that Jerome Bettis, one of NBC's football analysts, appeared in an episode the day after the Super Bowl. To his credit, his performance wasn't bad, but the storyline was dumb.

[nolivingman]

I love Jerome Bettis like crazy, so I'm not impartial, but I didn't think he did bad either. But it was wasted on that storyline. I fear that I've never been much for shows with urinal cake jokes.

Oh, thank you for the Racetrack info! I've seen a lot of people mention her role in the other mutiny, so I'm glad Leah Cairns thought it was relevant too.

I'm not linking the thread since it seems to have degraded into character bashing. :/

I'm shocked! ;)

[asta77]

I'm glad I found the info. I only pop my head in the forum once a week and then only to look at a couple threads. Fortunately, the topic was clearly marked and at the top of the page. :)

I really wish we got to hear more from the actors after the episodes air. They all have such great insights into their characters and, in this case, I found reading Leah's perspective helpful. At least I get why she decided to join the mutineers, though I'm still perplexed how she can stick with them after seeing Zarek commit a murder and Lee nearly being executed. Maybe we'll get answers tonight. :)

I'm shocked!

Heh. The thing that shocked me is it only took two or three comments for it to begin. In the good old days, it didn't happen until page 2. ;) .

What a shame she didn't shot that scene! I'd have loved to see Racetrack talking shit about Adama XD and it'd have been such a great opportunity for Leah to develop her character! Any chance we'll see anything like that on the DVD extras? Frak, I understand it must have been a really hard call but premiere with Al Pacino instead of awesome scene with Racetrack? Why, Gods, why? xDD

[asta77]

And considering '88 Minutes' didn't do all that well, she probably should have stuck with BSG that week.

I wasn't shocked at all about Racetrack. In fact, aside from her freakish ability to find everything, I said, "oh, so THAT'S why they got her for the webisodes." Because she saw that Raptor with three dead humans (two of them pilots and probably her friends) and one freaked out human whom they obviously believed his story about the Cylon, and saw what the Eight had done, and then was probably expressly told by Adama never to mention it again because they were sweeping it under the rug in order to preserve the alliance. In that webisode, Adama took the side of the Cylons over the side of his own men. I totally get why Racetrack would mutiny. ::Sigh::
