the forgotten- review

Dear Rupert Penry Jones,

First of all, you're hot and I loved you in Spooks and you're ridiculously sexy in Persuasion *squee* Sorry, moving on...

I just saw the first episode of "the forgotten." You know, that show that axed you after an unaired pilot when some douchey focus group said that you and the female lead weren't so hot (she wasn't, you're always steamy). And then they replaced you with Christan Slater fresh off of the nbc cancellation of his pretty good "My Own Worst Enemy." Remember? Um, well I saw the first epi and I would like to say... don't feel bad. This show's going to get canceled soon anyway. I mean maybe not real soon, but soon.

 Don't get me wrong, it's a good show and it definitely has potential. But it's one of those that takes the whole finding lost people premise a bit too seriously so that it somehow morphs into this self-righteous downer that you watch at first but then just start recording and only watch grudgingly when your dvr is full, not 'cause you like it or anything, just so that you can have the pleasure of deleting them. *cough*Warehouse 13*cough* It's just really not that serious.

However, I will say that Christian Slater wasn't that bad (even though you would have been better!) and Rochelle Aytes was gorgeous... um and a good actress too. I'm hoping for  a little hook up with those characters but I'm a realist, so optimism seems naive. Also, if they do hook up I'll always think of you Rupert because you're amazing and rock my socks. And I'm adult enough to admit that this letter just took a strange turn into the creepy...

Sorry,

Old Hats- reviews

Heroes: Snooze, but apparently it's still cool to watch Claire try and kill herself. And the little snippets of Sylar are always awesome. Black folk... sigh... maybe next time.

House: I guess, although I did just read an article that Jennifer Morrison is leaving and has already filmed her last episode. Isn't it sad that I don't even care about her character anymore? Oh, I guess I, uh, see. That was possibly a good decision for you then Jen...

Castle: After a show survives its first season, they're not out of the woods just yet. Everyone wonders if it can keep up the momentum. Some shows have such an amazing first season that crappy fans and critics tear apart its sophomore effort (r.i.p. Pushing Daisies). So the heat is on for Castle. I have to say that the premiere wasn't that bad. I mean I couldn't have cared two shits about the person who died, it was a bit... far fetched for me. But I liked it. I appreciated the Castle/Beckett angst. All of my favorite characters were there and still funny. Maybe not as funny as last season, but I love Nathan Fillion enough to be sure that I'll warm to them, just like last season.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The season premiere was so decidedly unfunny that I was nervous about epi 2. Thankfully the gang made up for their stumble last week. All I have to say is Soul Asylum never sounded so good Sweet Dee!

Law & Order: Last season I realized that every single part of that show made me happy. The cases, the actors, the storylines. It was all better than it'd been in years. The premiere was just as amazing. Seriously, McCoy fucking indicted former Vice President Cheney. It's like the L&O team are fucking reading my mind! Imaginary Christmas came early this year yall...
