Supernatural: I really enjoyed SPN this week. The homage to black and white horror films was brilliant and just so enjoyable. We had lots of squeals from the fun of it all. There were some things that weren't quite right but they get high point for trying something new. I am enjoying the Dean storyline but I do think that they are leaving Sam's story too long. We really need to know what's going on with him.

NCIS was a lot of fun, too. Excellent choice for Gibbs' father. I don't go in for Gibbs/DiNozzo but you could really make a case for it here, what with Gibbs trying to prevent Tony from learing about his past. And the bit at the end where were see Gibbs and Shannon met was so sweet.

Primeval: I think I'm missing a few eps. Oh well. I find this show has about one or two genuinely fun moments and the rest of the time is filled with people being too stupid to survive. It is such a mishmash of genres. Is it a comedy? A monster flick? A evil conspiracy show? I get the action but all the quick edits actually bore me. I begin to think that men are wired different because I'm sure guys watch this and it really gets their hearts a pumping whereas I just go back to playing with the computer. And the dialogue! Anytime they try for profound it comes off as cheesy. I'm still watching though.... I think it's my new Smallville, a show I keep watching even though I know better. At least I did stop Smallville. Yay me. I'm just now watching the leech ep and can I say, Yeech!!

Pushing Daisies: OMG! The clown episode of Pushing Daisies was so funny!
I hate clowns and all the clown jokes were hysterical, especially the clown car. Pulling the gun on the mime, the limerick, the nun saying "dammit" at prayer, booze in the bible. I love Emerson. I love the word play and all the color and cheerfulness. What a lovely show.

House: I am so glad Wilson came back and it wasn't too contrived. As a rule, situations are played for laughs in this show. Even when people are seizing, foaming at the mouth or otherwise dying, it's just clinical and has now emotional weight to it. Seeing Wilson's grief and pain was an anomaly and very jarring.

No Criminal Minds. Wah!

ETA: Boston Legal. Awesome. My heart broke for Alan in this one. He was so devastated. At least Denny is there to comfort him. And where are they going with this? We now know that Denny gets hard thinking of Alan getting spanked and when Alan suggests a sleep over. Are they gonna end up with them being an item? If this were a man and a woman, it would have to end that way. Interesting.

In other news, I took Brindle to the vets to get him a steroid shot yesterday. He's been in the sink for two weeks, and had his flea meds a week ago. The itching and scabbing is worse now. I hate giving him steroids but he was so miserable. Hopefully, we'll be better soon. And Scooter continues to put on weight and going back to pestering us instead of being frail and somewhat dazed. The pest is back. *g*

Waaay behind on reading some flist journals, so catching up... what happened to Alan on Boston Legal? I don't think the new season has started here yet.
