1. I'm about half way through Chuck's second season. Still entertained by the show, even though I don't draw little hearts around it like I do with other shows. There is one aspect that has me sighing a lot. Not sighing enough to quit the show, but sighing all the same.
   
   To me Chuck's writers are failing at UST. Not in the chemistry department or dialog, but in the predictable barriers to Chuck and Sara getting together. You'd think that handler-protectee relationship would be good enough to keep that UST (as opposed to RST) going, but just about every other episode you can pretty much expect some external road block to be thrown up between them. We've had so many other love interests (including one coming back from the dead) it's actually kind of funny.
   
   10 ROAD BLOCK
   
   20 IF ROAD BLOCK=FEMALE (SADFACESARA.EXE) ELSE (SADFACECHUCK.EXE)
   
   30 DEL ROAD BLOCK
   
   40 GO TO 10
   
   If I was really into this pairing, I'd be pretty irked by it all, but since I'm not all that invested, I just move on.
   
   
   
   
2. I think I've been talked into at least trying How I Met Your Mother. I'D BETTER LIKE IT.
   
   
3. Spooks should be starting soon!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!
   
   
4. I've failed to keep up with Project Runway this year. Lifetime's video player sucks, and so I haven't caught up.
   
   
5. Speaking of video players, is it just me or has Hulu gotten worse lately? I used to have excellent playback of everything. Nowadays it's really jerky, which is very very distracting. I don't mind watching commercials and going the legal route, but at least make the quality decent!
   
   
6. Went into an innocent-looking DW post and immediately found Rose bashing in the comments. SADFACEMICHELLE.EXE

I don't watch HIMYM. I've never been able to stomach sit-coms. I've no idea why.

but SPOOKS!!!!!!! I can't wait. Poor Harry's been stuck in that trunk a long time. Do we have a premier date yet?

And of course RA.....*drool*

I've felt the same way about Project Runway...it's just too cumbersome to follow it and I just haven't. I've watched the first episode and that's about it. But I still love Tim Gunn.

lol, I feel like I could have liked Chuck/Sara if it had been written well. Unfortunately, it was... not. Actually, I find the portrayal of women as a whole on Chuck to be pretty poor, but I slot it in as "intended to be geek fantasy" and sort of move on. It keeps me from really liking it, though.

Aww, HIMYM. I hope you like it as well. If not... you can have a fic writing guarantee? :D

You don't watch HIMYM? Why ever not?! It's brilliant and wonderful and funny and adorable and very un-sitcom-like

I started watching cause my flist seemed obsessed with it so I gave it a chance and loved it too.

Honestly, not shipping Chuck/Sarah, but since my heart dies a little everytime I realize it's on NBC because I know Casey/Chuck will never happen it's okay.

Aww, even I don't get Rose-bashing, and I'm not her biggest fan. :(

BUT I NEED YOU TO TALK PROJECT RUNWAY WITH ME!

Also? Lifetime reruns all the episodes every freakin' weekend. Which means my DVR keeps recording them over and over again, thinking I haven't watched them. But I have. Thanks to the Saturday marathons, I've seen them all!!!
