Glass Ballerinas & Gunfire

Sorry for the lacking of posts lately. I have a trip to Tennessee for my brother's wedding next week and I've been a busy bee getting everything ready for that. I'll be leaving Wednesday after work and hopefully able to drive straight through without needing too much sleep. It's only an 8 or 9 hour drive so I'm getting all my cds ready and packing lots of caffiene.

It's Thursday. That means The Office and Grey's are on tonight!

But last night....


It took me a minute to recall what exactly happened on last night's show. Since it was less than 24 hours ago, and this used to be my "water cooler" show, I'd say the show was kinda....'eh' again. I'm not sure what's missing, if it's the dividing up of all the original characters, or the complete lack of the majority of them. I love Sawyer (I'll take some Josh Holloway anytime) but the waiting till the third episode of the season to even show Locke, Hurley and the crew? Bleh. I still have high hopes for the season though. Especially since there's a rumor that Nathan Filion may make an appearance later in the season. Rawr.









THE NINE
I was hoping to not like this show, my tv-watching schedule didn't need any more additions. However, I can't help it. If you're looking for a show that's strictly plot driven (your "24" and such), I don't think this would be a great long term show for you. The mystery of what happened within those 52 hours in the bank will slow being revealed, sure...but I think the strength of this show is going to be the character development and the writer's making us root for each of them. The mysteries of the robbery can only last so long, and after that you're left with the characters that we've gotten to know - all of which have caught myinterest. Except for the DA chick...I'm not a fan of her for some reason. Was the chief of police lying to Nick about everyone's past? Yes Egan Foote had a gun, but how are we to know to if it was registered or not? Do we think that Franny had pills of E in her purse? Or are they using the obvious bonding between the nine against him, to keep him from speaking out against the Burea? And what's up with Bailey Salinger killing the robber at the hospital? Bailey! The show's scrumptious.
