It isn't healthy to harbor revenge fantasies against characters in commericals

Tuesday 11/28/06
Beverly Hills 90210 (the pilot!): 5:35 PM to 6:59 PM
Gilmore Girls: 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Veronica Mars: 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM
Total Viewing Time 3 hours 24 minutes

It's becoming harder and harder for me to watch the Gilmore Girls. The actors are phoning it in. I don't blame them. Their characters are being written like pod people replacements of their former selves. Everything seems homogenized and air brushed so that Abercrombie will keep their strange product placement hold on the CW Tuesdays. It's like that hack Rosenthal has moved the show into that strange parallel universe where that Hallmark commercial in which all of the people stuck in the airporrt are actually cheered by the horrendous mom-pod who livens things up for them and her kids by producing some wretched santa rotating musical thing instead of barely suppressing violent outbursts of rage against that fucking woman and the whole fucking Christmas season. If I was stuck in an airport trying to get home for Christmas and that happened, I would...well probably nothing, but I would certainly think about it. I hate that syrupy world. Please bring my TV show back from it. Please.

Agree with your point on Gilmore Girls. I wish the deaths of the writers after every episode but I can't help but wanting to see the next one. I still can stand that Christopher and Lorelai are married, that's so Hallmark-y. And the thing between Marty and Rory that is supposed to be what, sexual tension. They spent like 5 episodes kind of developing it and then completely abandon it and now they randomly decided to pick it up again? Can't they hire some other male actor to be Rory next "love" interest? Grrr. On a different note, looking forward to coming home to a blue state.

Ok I don't know why my comments posted twice...maybe I'm just technologically challenged.

I know what you mean about wanting to see the next one, i've invested way too much time on this narrative just to abandon it now that it sucks.
It's too bad they can't bring Jess back, but the show he's on now is so much better than GG.

I like Heroes...altho I'm not sold on his character yet.

really? his character is the link in the chain. When they're finally joined up like the X Men, Jess, or Peter as he's called in that particular universe, will be able to use all of their different powers. He'll be able to fly, read minds, and teleport all at once. That's fucking cool.

He's basically Rogue, but he still looks like a little bitch if you ask me. Don't get me wrong, I've always liked Jess, but the way he talks is weird and he needs a fucking haircut.

i think that after they blow him up, he'll come back like Jean Grey/Phoenix, the dream he had last night was weird, everyone looks like a little bitch on that show, its basically the whole point of the show a bunch of little bitches getting superpowers and not knowing what to do with them
