Those Aren't Rapist Shoes!

Before I get to the Monday night television, I have some fun links for you all! See, we (helpmeveronica.com) developed all these extra bonus videos as a reward for solving the Codemaster's devious puzzles. Of course, only like five people bothered to stick with it long enough, and it seemed like a waste to hide them behind a barrier most people

So you get Studio 60 on Mondays? We get it the night before. Maybe it's kinda stale by the time you get it.

I agree about the Science Schmience and the show montage, though.

Heh, yeah, I figured that out when I wondered where the hell this Molière reference was and then I was like HOW DID HE TRAVEL INTO THE FUTURE AND SEE THIS EPISODE LIKE HIRO OR SOMETHING?? And then I remembered you damn Canadians.

I have to say, it totally trips me out that Greg Grunberg is in this and not Six Degrees. Did he and J.J. break up or something? Heh.

I missed part of it because I got home late, but Nikki is super-extra-ultra awesome. I loved the note on the heart post-it. Hee! This is fast becoming a must-watch for me, also; S60 keeps sliding by because there's nothing else really on, and because Perry is totally awesome, and because Bradley Whitford has a startling tendency to look like an overjoyed five-year-old on occasion, which I find entirely endearing.

Poor Indian dude with no superpowers. Why does the Indian guy have to be normal, huh??

I'll say to this what my parents used to say whenever I would ask, "If there's a Mother's Day and a Father's Day, how come there is no Kid's Day?"

EVERY INDIAN DUDE HAS SUPERPOWERS ALREADY, SUNIL.

Our power to be superhot?

Exhibits A thru C: Naveen Andrews. Sendhil Ramamurthy. Sunil Patel.

I don't think the world could even survive the existence of any more superhot Indians.

People of the subcontinent, I beg you: stop reproducing! YOU WILL BREAK THE WORLD WITH YOUR HOTNESS. PLEASE DO NOT BREAK THE WORLD. THANKS.

Haaaaa. Oh, Alanna. You are weird. But funny and endearing.

I didn't find this episode of Studio 60 as funny as last week, so I don't think it's just you, P-C.

Sorkin really enjoyes that behind the scenes look, so I'm hoping that we'll get more of it, without it being annoying. Of course, the behind the scens of being in President is so very different from running a TV show (which also may account for why Sports Night didn't fair as well as The West Wing.

My thoughts on Sorkin's show in general is you have to give them now, as he really doesn't flush out anyone in one episode. Hell--he might not even flush out someone after 7 years for that matter.

I am a big fan of Sports Night and loved Sorkin-era TWW . . . but so far, Studio 60 is not nearly as good as either of those two shows. I don't think the fellating is all that widespread, but it is true that Sorkin has a lot of built-in goodwill from a lot of people and he is probably going to be given more latitude because we know what he is capable of.

I am sticking with it, but I hope it finds its way sooner rather than later. The characters aren't nearly as likable and they are mostly coming across as smug assholes. And the Jordan subplot about the mugshot and her sordid past is just ridiculous. She's not a famous TV actress, she's an executive. Nobody would care about anything she did 8 years ago. Her mug shot would not be remotely newsworthy and I doubt even the Smoking Gun would give a crap.

I will admit that it made me irrationally happy that the show has an important Indian character who's not a stereotype.

Oh, yeah! I meant to comment on this, but this is yet ANOTHER reason you should be watching The Office.

There is an Indian character on that show who is hilarious. And not stereotypical at all. She's portrayed as a chatty airhead, actually, the complete opposite of the "normal" nerdy Indian doctor-type. (My DVD offer still stands, btw.)

[spectralbovine]

Oh yeah! I think I saw her in one of the PSAs.

hobviously has the US DVDs, so I may grab those from her if I can find a good torrent of UK first. If I can't, I'll hit you up.

And you can't forget that he's totally hot. Maybe you didn't notice that part, but... but, oh my God! The pretty!
