I got so spoiled watching SG1 and Atlantis marathon style this year that it’s killing me now that I’m completely caught up. There were times when I’d have to stay up and watch 3 or 4 episodes in a row to get through cliffhangers and story arcs. Now I have to wait like everyone else.

Dude, honestly, when the bit with Kevin finally came out, I had to press pause and just let my laughter go nuts. That had to be one of the greatest television moments in history.

Sanctuary I’ll maybe watch for about the first two episodes (like Pilot plus 2) before I give a solid thumbs up. And it is the reason for them skipping an Atlantis week (and at what a cliffhanger too!)

OK, you might actually watch more television than I do…now I understand why you didn’t post all week.

Loved the Huey Lewis BTTF in Chuck. And Chenowith and McBride make Pushing Daisies for me. Her energy and ability to rattle off a rant like that in one breath is astonishing, and I love Emerson’s grumpy demeanor and frequent use of the tag. Some funny-@$$ moments on that show.

Is Sanctuary why I couldn’t find a new Atlantis this week? Should I bother checking that show out or is going to get cancelled so she can do more SG-1 movies?

I’ll get to Avatar someday.

I liked the structure of the Office opener, unfolding everyone’s Summer through the backdrop of that weight loss competition. Creed as always gets the best WTF one-liners(“That wasn’t a tapeworm.”) and Kevin’s delivery when he realized what Holly thought he was floored me. The gas station scene was anticlimactic, until I thought about what this show is and realized anything else would have been sitcommy and clich�. More realistic and ordinary, I suppose.
