NCIS: Los Angeles - Deep Trouble (Part 2)

EEEEEEEP
That is all.

This is possibly one of the most-anticipated premieres for me this year. Partly cos of the stupid cliffhanger, partly cos I love the people on this show! They're like a little family, complete with excellent chirps. AND THEY LIVE-TWEET!!!!

Who among us hasn't compared our sibling to a sheep?

New theme sequence is new! And includes Eric and Nell removing their sunglasses in sync - I'm going to take that as an homage to CSI: Miami and give it a thumbs-up.

Who exactly is steering that sub? And where is Hetty going?? And Granger - YOU DO NOT TURN OFF HENRIETTA LANGE!! She has a lipstick gun in her purse and she's not afraid to use it!

Friendly reminder: Hetty is a badass.

Everyone keeps saying Kensi and Talia (remember, that cute DEA agent that had cringe-inducing chemistry with Deeks?) are 'twins'. But all I can tell is that they both have brown hair and crushes on the same dude. And like kicking ass. That could be anybody. Even me! (If I knew martial arts and Deeks was a real person and I knew him)

Where the hell did Sam find a Sharpie on that submarine?? Oooh turns out there are actually people on the submarine! And they're terrorists. Muslim terrorists. Typical TV.

YOU DO NOT CONDESCEND TO KENSI BLYE!!! And Talia gets a headbutt to prove it. Also, Talia is borderline-creepy with all her innuendo - also hey, girly, has it occurred to you that a) Kensi is referring to Deeks as her 'partner' and not her 'boyfriend' because she wants to stay professional and keep her job and b) it doesn't matter if you hit on Deeks, if he doesn't like you, he's not gonna reciprocate?? Sheesh...

I seriously don't see the resemblance. Just because they're both wearing plaid...

Callen just coined the term 'mathmagician' and suddenly Sam is a human calculator. And because they're running out of air, they're gonna go crazy before they die. This ought to be good.

Here's a clue: some people bought fertilizer. This is suspicious only if they are not gardening. HETTY'S BAAAACK!!! And Granger is interrogating some guy who was on the season finale who we've forgotten already - apparently he built the sub? OOH so he can help! Maybe? I don't get it.

Deeks is also a human calculator, and has just informed a dying man who is 'refusing to die' that he has 'refused to grow up' which was unnecessary, because we already knew that. Oh, how I've missed his banter. Even if it's not with Kensi. Should he really be drinking on the job? Even as a bargaining tool? HAHAHAHA nevermind it's apple juice. And he fooled the guy into thinking he was dying, but he's really not. So many mind games here!!

Apple juice: pretending to be scotch on TV since... The invention of colour TV.

YES LET'S START A FIRE ON THIS UNDERWATER SUB WHICH IS FULL OF EXPLOSIVES!!! THAT WILL NOT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL!!! Sam logic. And is it just me, or is LL Cool J starting to look like a wax figure of himself in this scene?

And ok why does every single Muslim terrorist on this show have to have a really thick accent?? Like seriously. Especially the ones who are supposed to 'blend in' always drop their American voices after they're revealed to be bad guys. How cheesy is that?? (And yet they still communicate with each other in English, of course)

Holy crap how has only a half hour gone by already?? I feel like so much has happened already!! TIME IS IRRELEVANT IN NCIS:LA LAND!! Callen is joking about Sam dying, and this might be the beginning of him going insane. 'Too soon' to joke about Sam dying BEFORE he dies... I would think 'too early'. And oh please, these terrorists are capable of driving a sub but don't know Morse Code?

Hetty!! You know praying is a useless plan of action!! Why do you not have a better idea?? Or are you saving it until the last possible second just so you can be awesome as usual?? Cos that's a really mean plot device, you know... 

Speaking of mean things, it is mean for them to post this and remind me that I am not on that couch right now.

Typically, the ladies gang up on Deeks, who asks if he's missing something - Kensi replies 'yes, it's called a frontal cortex'. ZING! And then he gets his revenge by pretending to be Kensi's fiance and tackling an old lady. (She was a bad guy, don't worry).

Callen tells Sam he needs to act like Mr. T, and Sam wonders aloud if he would have been better off with Deeks. [Side note: Sam & Deeks trapped in a room together?? I want to see that episode please NCIS:LA writers!!!!]

The Navy is now dropping bombs over the sub.. And for some reason, the Navy bomber looks an awful lot like a commercial jet. When did Hetty get so religious??

Terrorists want to die on their mission, but now they're so desperate they just decided to kill Sam and Callen in an effort to stop sinking. I don't get the physics or the logic of this show. But obviously it backfires, because Sam and Callen are awesome. We interrupt this episode of NCIS:LA to bring you Jaws, with the terrorists being snuck up on and dragged under the surface.  (By Sam and Callen. There isn't a shark on this sub. Want to make that clear.)

DUN dun... DUN dun... DUN dun... DUNdunDUNdunDUNdun etc.

The Navy drops the bombs anyway, team at Ops looks somber, shit-they're-dead-fakeout aaaand then they surface right beneath the helicopter containing Kensi and Deeks - and for good measure, throw in some witty banter while treading water. Nothing can phase those two.

Deeks just uttered the phrase 'nerd herd' and I'm taking it as a shoutout to Chuck. Speaking of whom, it's Zachary Levi's birthday today - yaaaaay!! The day before mine - double yaaaay!!!

A motto for today, and every day.

I know you're celebrating the fact that no one died, but should ALL of you be drinking at work???

Season 6 is off to a good start! See you next week! (Hope you all remember it's on Mondays now, I know that's going to mess with me for a while)

Big Bang Theory - The First Pitch Insufficiency

Disclaimer: today I realized that I'm a bad fan because even though I own three Big Bang Theory-related T-shirts (and a Snuggie!) I let the season premiere pass me by without wearing any of them. I didn't wear my CSI shirt for their premiere last night, either. But tonight, order is restored, I'm wearing my 'Knock Knock Knock Penny!' shirt, and I'm ready to roll.

Also, we should send virtual fives to my Physiology prof, because he let the class go a half-hour early today, and therefore this blog didn't have to wait until tomorrow to be posted, because that class is gonna conflict with BBT until they switch back to Thursdays. Yaaaay.

In a weird coincidence, my roommates and I went to a Toronto Blue Jays game yesterday (they lost, but oh well), and now there's a baseball-themed BBT episode tonight. Just at the end of baseball season. Weird timing, guys. This really should have aired in the spring, but anyway... In a shocking turn of events, Howard has no athletic ability whatsoever.

Sheldon doesn't understand the difference between two dates and a 'double date'. And here's another freaky parallel between Bernadette and I, she used to play softball as a kid. I played for nine years. Only sport I'm even remotely fond of playing/remotely good at.

This was year three of nine. Look at those bangs!!

I don't buy this - apparently after nearly seven years, Penny doesn't know Sheldon's catchphrase. Granted, he didn't say it in season 1 (or maybe season 2? Can someone confirm this?) but she now thinks it's 'bazooka' for some reason. I call bullshit.

In Sheldon's mind, the ranking of the relationships in the group are:
1 - Him and Amy
2 - Howard and Bernadette
3 - Raj and whoever he's dating
4 - Penny and chardonnay (Amy points out that Penny actually drinks sauvignon blanc)
5 - Penny and Leonard.
Ouch.

They do make a cute couple. And that doesn't look like an anything-blanc to me.

I didn't know it was possible to be allergic to avocado. Apparently Amy is. And Sheldon has invented a scale on which to rate french fries. And there's an inventory to quantify the quality of relationships, which, naturally causes tension between Leonard and Penny.

When did Penny start wearing black-leather jackets?? And her hair is so flat that it looks like it's wet and sticking to her head. Emily no likey.

Also, astronaut guy is missing the key fact that it's HARDER to throw things in zero gravity. Yaaaay physics.

OK regarding the baseball game they all go to:
1 - The person throwing the first pitch doesn't get to make a speech first.
2 - The LA Angels (of Anaheim) are in a city nearly an hour outside of LA (longer with the LA traffic). That's like putting the New York Yankees in New Brunswick, New Jersey. 
3 - Proud Toronto fan braggy-moment - Angels Stadium hasn't got shit on the Skydome.

Does YOUR stadium have a majestic opening/closing roof and a view of the CN Tower?? DOES IT??

Howard is an idiot and didn't think this through. 
Aaaaand my supposedly-superior digital cable just cut out. Shit. I'm just gonna assume he keeps getting booed. Back after commercial break and he's still getting booed. Yaaaay predictable plot lines.
That's all for tonight! Who's your favourite BBT couple? Mine is still Penny and that wine.
I'll be back later tonight posting about the season premiere of NCIS: Los Angeles. Stay tuned for that!

Saturday Night Live - Chris Pratt

The 40th season of SNL is starting tonight, and I couldn't be more excited!!! Partly because Chris Pratt is hosting, partly because season premieres are awesome, partly because SNL season premieres usually include a lot of cameos (like maybe by former SNL cast members?? We can only hope!) and partly because they just hired Michael Che to be the new Weekend Update anchor, and I really liked him on The Daily Show so I'm pumped to see him here!

Also announced recently, Keenan Thompson is leaving at the end of this season. He's been on the show for eleven years, which makes him the current cast member who's been there the longest, and while I've always liked him (in particular the recurring What's Up With That? and 'Scared Straight' sketches, and his Update character Jean K. Jean), he was always kind of on the edge of my radar and never really one of my favourites. But this week I read this article and it reminded me of one of the best things about Keenan - his reactions. Whether looking repulsed, astonished, or just confused, his facial expressions are always hilarious. And I'll miss them. So let's appreciate them while he's still around!

We begin with Keenan playing a football player who beats children and is on a talk show and thinks that we all need to hear that 'school buses are yellow'. Also Jay drinks Bud Light Lime. Chris Pratt plays Roger Goodell and is typically unclear on his stance on things. (But it's interesting that they put him in the cold open, that doesn't happen very often) Aidy gets the opening and away we go!

Don Pardo was a legend and as funny as Darrell Hammond is, his opening narration leaves something to be desired. He's not very emphatic. They only hired two new people since last season - the aforementioned Che, and a 20-year old named Pete Davidson. I repeat, SNL has a featured player who is younger than me. What am I doing with my life?

Chris Pratt just pulled out a guitar. If he can sing, I might just faint. *passes out*

Famous Person Cameo #1: Anna Faris (Chris' wife) in the audience during his monologue

 

She's not embarrassed... Is she?

Apparently middle-aged people new need to get turnt in order to sleep with their wives/husbands - so there's a pill for that. And they're really milking that whole Lil Jon featuring in a Lonely-Island-song-thing, aren't they?

Poor Kyle always gets cast as a little kid. He's hella adorable though. Aaaaand Chris Pratt is He-Man and only wearing half a shirt and a unitard. Apparently toys, when brought to life, start destroying houses and lusting after children's sisters. Now you know. I feel really bad for whoever has to clean up these sets. Famous Person Cameo # 1 1/2: They put Ariana Grande (tonight's musical guest) in a sketch.

CAKE.

This is a recurring sketch about a bunch of weird accent-having vet-office staff (Cecily, Chris, and Kate) who tell everyone in their waiting room that their pets are dead. They've done this sketch before... It might have been when Josh Hutcherson hosted? Can't remember.

Next they mock Guardians of the Galaxy and just say that Marvel is making a bunch of random movies with a bunch of randoms - including 'fancy ghosts' and a bunch of shopping carts. And Star Wars. Chris Pratt was wearing a Princess Leia costume, so that was pretty interesting.

You're welcome.

C'mon, I would totally see that movie.

Ariana Grande is up next, aaaand mute. She's adorable, and you can't deny that the girl's got range, but about 60% of the time, it sounds like she's singing through her upper nose, and it just drives me nuts. Sorry. Also what's with the fuzzy cat ears?

UPDATE TIIIME!!!! Aww poor Michael tripped over his first joke - but he laughed through it, so he's ok! And the background is new. It's different. I don't like it. Put it back.

HELL YES!!!! Ok when they announced last year that Cecily was talking over Weekend Update I was disappointed that That Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation With At A Party wouldn't be around anymore. And now that Cecily's back to the regular cast - HERE SHE IS!!!! "If Neil Degrasse Tyson is so smart, why'd he bite that guy's ear off?" I AM DYING OF LAUGHTER OVER HERE. Someone send an ambulance.

I'm clearly going to the wrong kinds of parties. I've never met a girl like this.
And I love that she always made Seth laugh.

OK hold up a second. TGYWYHSACWAAP just asked Michael if he had a crush on anyone and he said there was a girl named Jessica... COULD HE POSSIBLY MEAN JESSICA WILLIAMS???!!! AS IN HIS FORMER COWORKER AT THE DAILY SHOW???!!!!

THIS JESSICA????!!!!!!

I ship it. Their babies would be hilarious.

Famous Person Cameo #2: Leslie Jones (comedian/one of the SNL writers) is a correspondent about being single - let's hear it for the loneliness!! She also hits on Colin - who I must admit is adorable, and slightly less stiff this season. Bravo Colin.

Finally, Pete the new kid shows up, as the 'resident young person' on the cast. He looks a tiny bit like Andy Samberg... Which is interesting. I miss Andy. (Casual reminder - Brooklyn 99 is back this Sunday at 8:30 on Fox). Now Keenan came out and they're singing encouragement to President Obama. Along the lines of 'Ooooh child, things are probably gonna get not worse'.

Colin is drumming and bringing the cuteness.Michael looks like he's conducting an orchestra.

Side note: bless SNL for being the only show I've ever seen to live-tweet screenshots. Makes my job a lot easier.
 
Apparently the only thing you need to do to learn how to flirt with someone is watch a lot of music videos. This has lead to Aidy Bryant singing 'Anadonda' by Nicki Minaj, which is weird. And Chris Pratt just rapped. Chris. Pratt. Just. Rapped. And as a side note, one of the girls in this sketch is named Alberta. Canadian provinces make for great baby names. For the love of god, stop talking about your ass, Aidy!

I do not understand this next sketch. Apparently it's supposed to be like a sitcom? And Chris is having issues making friends so he hangs out with a biker gang of rebellious 9-year olds, who start corrupting him. Apparently you can now call parks to see if they're closed. Kyle and Beck play his roommates - and none of them use any kind of inflection in this sketch whatsoever. "This is a fight" Chris says, walking out of the room. Thanks for letting me know, bud.

I am vaguely reminded of this Key and Peele sketch by the next bit - but instead of having ridiculous names, they all have weird criminal records. And they pulled out Colin for this one! As well as Leslie! The one player says 'I hit my wife' and then she's the next one and goes 'I'm his wife - I hit his ass back!'. The other offenses were funny.

Just in case you wanted to know what these two looked like not wearing suits or behind a desk.

OK Ariana is performing again so I wasn't really paying attention, but then I glanced back up and - who on earth is this dude and what the hell does he have on his head???

Now there are some people (Bobby, Sasheer and Pete) testing a children's video game in which painfully coloured and cheerful characters (Vanessa and Chris) tell you to put together a puzzle and then they make out. This is really awkward considering Chris' wife is in the audience... And Taran is the video game designer who, of course, sees nothing wrong with this idea.

You can't un-see this. I'm sorry.

Holy crap Pete's tall. He's pretty much the same height as Chris, who is 6'2 according to IMDb.

So that's it for tonight! I don't know why, but all the sketches seemed a little short tonight.. Although maybe that was just because I am really tired and therefore time seems inconsistent to me. Who knows. It wasn't their best episode, but it wasn't their worst. I like Michael and Colin together (except for that damn background!) and I'm really glad to see the return of That Girl You Wish You Hadn't... etc. !!! What did you think of the new Update Team? What was your favourite sketch/least favourite sketch? Leave me a comment!!

Bones - The Conspiracy in the Corpse

Bones being back makes me really excited because I have been watching Season 7 on DVD the last couple of days and it's really interesting to compare Booth and Bones when they first got together as a couple to the Booth and Bones that are now been married and have an almost-three-year-old.

Plus, it's one of those shows where the cast members really feel like a family and they all just make me so happy - except for the conspiracy bullshit that happened in the Season 9 finale and has left Booth arrested and him and Bones with a shot-up house.

Booth now comes with a beard and looks a lot older all of a sudden. Maybe that's just the harsh prison lighting. He also gets beat up a couple times. I'm still dumbstruck that the circumstances under which he's been imprisoned don't seem incredibly stupid to anyone else.

Sneaky squints are being sneaky and 'keeping things on the down-low'.... Not that anyone in the FBI will wonder what they're up to, in PLAIN SIGHT in the MIDDLE OF THE LAB.

Bones has a tense visit with Booth, and the security guard at the jail has been watching too much Arrested Development

Apparently the only way to get Booth out of jail is for Bones to walk into the office of a federal prosecutor and tell him 'Oh hi, I'm here to blackmail you.'....And it worked.

She also illustrates the crucial difference between being ordered not to do something, and promising not to do something.

I need to applaud the set designers on this show... Not only is the lab and attached offices utterly stunning, but THEIR NEW HOUSE OH MY GOD it looks like one of those places on Cribs or something.

Booth can't go back to work yet because he's a 'pariah' at the FBI office. Excellent use of the word. And I love that this show (like House) is one that would freak out Peter Griffin every five minutes, because they say the title almost constantly. Both as a nickname and as a noun. I'd wager it's one of the most-said words on the show.

He said it! And again! And there too!

'Insinuating' is also a good vocabulary word. But apparently people who are friends with Booth's boss should not be intimidated. Shouldn't they do a better job of figuring out who's sketchy and who's not before they hire/befriend them? But Booth is being followed by a handsome agent guy who Booth manages to outsmart. Apparently his name is SA James Aubry. And don't just take my word for it - one of the writers thinks he's a looker too.

Booth hasn't called Sweets a 'kid' in a while so he needs to call Aubry one now. I think Sweets would call that 'transference'. I hope they keep this one around for a while... Not like all the other random agents who are there for like four episodes then vanish, never to be seen/heard from again.

Like what happened to her?!!

Or her?? Although it's plausible she got fired after shooting Sweets... Poor kid, TWO 'accidental' bullet wounds.

Or... OK he wasn't an FBI agent but can you blame me for wanting more of him??!!

WHAT THE HELL SURPRISE DAISY AND PREGNANT DAISY NO LESS!!!!! Baby Sweets is gonna have a baby!!! This makes me very happy but slightly less happy because Daisy.

"It hurts when I breathe" I think Booth is channeling his inner Shania Twain. And then he and Bones start undressing and making out on their bed which is in front of a GIANT wall of windows. Not that they have neighbours or anything...

According to Twitter, TJ Thyne (Hodgins) and Tamara Taylor (Cam) laugh the most on set. I don't know why, but the idea of them giggling like idiots in the middle of shooting just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I love these people!

Bones says Sweets is going to be a good father. I concur. Remember how cute he was in Season 8 with Christine?? I couldn't find photographic evidence of that - but you know it to be true!

Suddenly, in the words of one of the writers, 'everyone's being blackmailed!' (Sounds like an episode of The Mentalist, amiright?)

(Commercial break) friendly reminder that I love Elementary... But it's not back until October 30th. Poo.

Sad Sherlock is all of us.

I gotta say, this show is going to be so helpful when I take Human Anatomy next semester. Things like 'spinal processes' are going to come in handy. Also Christine looks way older than she should. Children don't age at a normal pace in the TV universe.

Surprise Aubrey! Apparently he answers to 'James, Jimmy... Anything'. Does 'Handsome' fall into that category? And after seeing the adorable sleeping Christine, he wants to get himself a child... DOES EVERYONE ON THIS SHOW JUST MAKE BABIES IN THEIR SPARE TIME??

Don't just take my word for it...

Oh for shit's sake, more conspiracy bullshit, taking the remains that were the last clue they had. But Cam is brilliant! And swapped out the bones!! She thinks of everything!

And then the whole world just went to shit and I want to tweet the writers saying I hate them, but I tried that and one of them (another Emily, no less) favourited my tweet but no. Just no. I don't even have any words. Fuck this show. Not my baby, not precious baby Sweets. I get it, they bring in a young, dark-haired cute agent just to replace him, right? Like 'here's your new Sweets' NO TAKE HIM BACK FORGET WHAT I SAID EARLIER!

Is this how things work in the Bones universe? Someone has to die whenever someone has a baby? So the baby can have a namesake? Karmic balance or something? Bones' daughter was named after her mother, who, granted, died years before but it's still sad. Then we have Angela & Hodgins' son named partly after Vincent - which reminds me, I STILL HAVEN'T FORGIVEN YOU GUYS FOR KILLING VINCENT!!! And now baby Lance? Why must they kill all of my favourites? First Zach goes psycho, then Vincent, now this, and they already gave Wendell cancer!! Isn't that enough??

Swear to god, this is the most empathy I've ever felt for Daisy.
And then when Brennan said "This isn't Sweets. It's a set of remains that will help us find the man who killed Sweets." I just lost it. Let me put it this way - I read the entirety of The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (for the first time) today, and this hurt me more. Not okay. NOT FREAKING OKAY.

Apparently John Francis Daley wanted to pursue his writing, so they killed him. I'm getting flashbacks of Kal Penn on House.  We have a fatherless baby so you can get a sequel to Horrible Bosses. You're welcome.

It hurt me to look through all the pictures of him just to choose one. So here are a bunch.

Remember the goatee?

*Sobs*

At risk of sounding like Daisy - goodnight, sweet Lancelot.

This turned into a much longer and much more screamy post than I intended. Sometimes emotions get the better of you. I can just go back to watching Season 7 - EXCEPT THAT'LL MAKE ME CRY NOW. Good grief.

Screw it, I'm gonna go watch Friends.

Big Bang Theory - The Junior Professor Solution

One night, two new episodes of BBT.

If there was a female version of this, that'd be me right now.

According to the plot summary of this episode from the CBS website, Sheldon has to teach a class and Howard takes it. I'm expecting a lot of peanut-gallery comments, since he's always been the quickest with comebacks out of the group. This ought to be good.

Also I should mention that Sheldon is reeeeally reluctant about the teaching job.

Penny is avoiding Bernadette because she's finding her annoying and it's making Amy (and me) uncomfortable because this kind of thing is terribly awkward and kinda mean...

Can we just ban couple-names? Raj + his girlfriend = Kuthrapemily or Emmipali. Bad. Just cringeworthy. And as an Emily, I know my name wouldn't ever pair well with that of any hypothetical future boyfriend I might have. So just let's ban them. For the good of mankind.

Amy is playing a bit of a double-agent because Bernadette is complaining to her about Penny now - I HAVE BEEN THERE AND IT IS TERRIBLE. DON'T FALL INTO THAT TRAP, AMY!

Callback to the episode where Sheldon taught Penny about physics! Fig Newtons are named after a town in Massachusetts, not the scientist. (I knew that!) And Walowitz might get his doctorate, which is good for him, but I will really miss all those 'Howard's the only non-doctor here' jokes.

I always have felt bad for Amy... Her boyfriend couldn't care less about the things going on with her, and now she's 'popular' because she was always so lonely that she's willing to pit her two best friends against each other just so they'll both like her? It's really just kinda sad...

That was brilliant - Howard decided to be a crappy non-paying-attention student because Sheldon was being a crappy teacher and OH GOD HE'S RAPPING. HOWARD IS RAPPING.

But poor Amy, Bernadette and Penny are getting along now so she feels left out.

'Can't talk! Spitball! Probably gonna die!' Totally using that line now whenever someone calls me and I don't want to talk to them.

Howard has got a whole new backbone to him this season, I kinda love it. [Edit: I just managed to put a name on what's happening to him. He's becoming more quippy, and less creepy. Nailed it.]

(Commercial Break) there's a new Nicholas Sparks movie coming out and even though it sounds almost exactly like The Notebook I kinda want to see it because it has JAMES MARSDEN IN IT!! Although he was in the Notebook, and lost the girl... So he doesn't have a great track record. But he's very handsome. So he's got that going for him, which is nice. But I already have an idea of what the poster's gonna look like:

The BBT boys just gave me an idea... to study using a quiz system with chocolate as reward! Why have I never thought of this!

Big Bang Theory - The Locomotion Interruption

The first problem with living in a new house is not knowing which channel is which on the new cable... So I missed the first few minutes of this episode. Tuned in just in time to see pants-less Sheldon whining to people at a train station. Ah, how I've missed him.

To recap last year's season finale:
Sheldon ran away because he didn't know how to handle Leonard and Penny living together, the comic book store is going under so Stuart is now working as a nurse for Howard's mom, and THIS HAPPENED:

Now their babies won't be imaginary at all!!!

I have to say, I hate Penny's hair short. Kaley Cuoco can pull off anything, and she looks gorgeous, but Penny is too childlike and ditzy and the long, curly hair suits her. Maybe this is supposed to go along with her new 'career-woman' persona, but I don't think it works with the character.

Side note: Bernadette's line 'the world is full of things that could cause a rectum to bleed' would make a terrible motivational poster.

In honour of my former Monday-at-8:00 sitcom...

It's a little creepy (to everyone except him) that Stuart is still living with Mrs. Walowitz and kind of becoming her boy toy/replacement for Howard... But at least if they become a couple, we won't have to see them kiss or anything...

On his entire trip, Sheldon never went outside or had a single piece of fruit. Sounds like my idea of a fun weekend...

Fun fact - Howard said Stuart is in his thirties, but Raj thought he was 'like 45' - Kevin Sussman, the actor who plays Stuart, is actually 44.

I'm really glad Amy doesn't just play along with Sheldon's ridiculousness anymore - I've always felt so bad for her! AND HE WANTS TO WHAT - oh nevermind, he was just making sure she couldn't hear him, by pretending he wanted to have coitus with her hahaha I should have seen that coming.

Bernadette is so like me - tiny and nice but can still put the fear of God in someone if they need to get their shit together.

Also, just so you know, NOBODY IS ANYBODY'S FATHER even though Howard and Stuart are both talking down to one another and bossing each other around.

(Commercial break) Holy crap, they're still making Survivor?? Talk about beating a dead horse... Does anyone even watch that anymore???

And Sheldon is with me on the hair thing. Also he's for some reason obsessed with brands of foods.

Fall 2014 - I'm BAAAACK!

Hey there! Long time no see!

I didn't blog at all last year because I was very busy and also I got a little stressed about keeping up with all the TV shows. Since my absence, this blog has gotten over 15 thousand total views, and I'm shocked especially considering those are all about old episodes!!!

So this year, since I don't have the same job that cuts into my evenings, I'm gonna start something a little different - I'll still blog, but less of a play-by-play format and more just opinion-based (although I am a creature of habit, so I might slip back into my old ways, we'll see).

Starting tonight with the one-hour, two-episode premiere of the Big Bang Theory, I'm going to blog about Bones (beginning this Thursday, the 25th), Saturday Night Live (premieres this Saturday the 27th), NCIS: Los Angeles (which premieres next Monday, September 29th) and possibly Brooklyn 99 (which returns Sunday, September 28th).

I'm also going to be watching CSI, Elementary, and occasionally Criminal Minds and The Mentalist - but I won't blog about those ones unless I get requests. Sound fair?
I'm also considering watching the new NCIS spinoff NCIS: New Orleans, as well as the new NBC drama How to Get Away With Murder, but I have a terrible track record with new shows so I don't want to get too obsessed too early on hahaha.

So that's the game plan, although who know if I'll stick to it. This is supposed to be fun, so I might call it quits again if I find it taking up too much of my time... Fingers crossed that doesn't happen, because I really do enjoy it!

That's all for now, and happy watching!!
