Suppose I have to go to work today, huh?

Wow. That was really boring to me. Someone else may have enjoyed it, but to me it was a complete snore-fest. Apparently the writers are still trying to make us care about the Jack/Kate/Sawyer triangle, the previews being all ominous, trying to make us think that "OMG maybe Kate will sleep with Sawyer! Noooooooooo!" Frankly, Kate could sleep with the boar for all I care. Anyhoo, it's hard to care about any other pairings when the fluffiest pairing in the land is around - Charlie and Claire. (OMG, like puppies getting married!)

And the whole boar tying into Sawyer's past was okay. Having Locke spell it out to us that Sawyer was chasing his past was unnecessary. It was like the writers were talking to the audience as if they were a slow child. But yeah. Boring. Frankly, I kept changing the channel.

I'm just full of crankiness this morning. Was it just me, or did they completely dumb down Josh for this episode? I'm not sure if they were trying to highlight Santos' nobility or what, but chickens? Yeah right. Nothing I've ever seen of Josh's character would ever have him do stupid stuff like that in a presidential campaign. What happened to "brilliant strategist" Josh? What happened to the guy who refused to call Santos by his first name because it wasn't presidential? Even though we got to see Donna fighting with a giant chicken, that was just plain stupid. And weird. Bleh.

Huh. I guess Luke really isn't in love with Lorelai. Otherwise he wouldn't have had such a lame excuse to break up with her. Sure her family is psychotic, but is that any reason not to be with her? But this is sweeps month and so we've gotta go through the drama. (I still think a better breakup would have been over Luke's planning in their relationship. He's got this whole plan of their future after reading that book and I could see Lorelai having a serious freakout because of that.) But anyway, I suppose we'll have the breakup through February - maybe even the rest of the season. But they'll get back together. Like duh!

I think sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It just depends on the style, pacing, plots, etc. of the show. One show that I think went really downhill once they started getting into all that was ER. Once they left the emergency room and started having episodes outside of that, I lost interest.

However I think it does work to focus on relationships in a show like The West Wing where, although it's a show about the White House on the surface, it's the interpersonal relationships that drive it.

I take it all on a case-by-case basis. *g*

LOL I suppose that is true, I mean there are some shows out there that I do enjoy the realtionship aspect but there are a lot that just got ruined when it was introduced (at least for me) :P
