foxxcub | It's not a booty call.

I'm still majorly pissed/emo/upset/squicked about last night's SVU. UGH UGH UGH. It was possibly the one and only time in the history of ever that I yelled the words, "NO, MELONI, DO NOT TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF." I couldn't even enjoy the ass shot, LE SIGH. Plus, canon is so fucked now on so many fronts. The good news? Perhaps now there can be a sense of fandom unity in that the Oliska fangirls can make peace with ~~the sane fans~~ the Meloni fangirls and there can a mass hating of Dick Wolf and Neal Baer.

God, if the rumors of Chris leaving the show a year early are true, I will be full of joy.

So I've been pretty quiet about the whole news about Lost ending in 2010. I'm pleased that ABC as well as Carlton and Damon can come to their freaking senses and realize that things cannot continue the way they are currently, and that they're not falling victim to the Chris Carter School of Mythology Writing. But if casual viewers weren't willing to stick it out for a four month hiatus, who's to say they'll last the rest of year waiting for a new season? I've become very pessimistic when it comes to this show, and maybe that's why, deep down, my reaction is really "meh". I guess three 16 episode seasons can only serve to make the show better in the end.

I feel bad for the cast, though. Remember the good old days when they all hung out and had parties and there was RPS everywhere? Yeah, pretty sure those days are long gone. And that makes me sad.

Since I don't want to end this post on a downer, has everyone seen David Hewlett's "apology" for the white nerd rap? OMG, I want to sew labels into his shirts that say "100% Made of Awesome". :D

Wait, who made this booty call? Olivia?!!!

I don't know what to think about the Lost extra season except that it's a financial decision. For the actors, it's another year of guaranteed work but another year they're forced to stick around, which might not be what they want at this point. And they've already fallen victim to the Chris Carter curse. :-/

The booty call would be Elliot, who made TOWARD HIS EX-WIFE. And worst part is that in the beginning it made sense--he'd just witnessed a horrible crime scene where three children had supposedly been shot by their mother, so he went by Kathy's house to see the kids. Understandable, as a scene like that would shake up any loving father.

BUT. THEN he's all thanking Kathy for letting him stop by, and she's all laying there in her bed in her little silk nightie and making goo-goo eyes at him, and then the Lifetime music starts and she asks him to stay and HE DOES and then I proceed to cry and gag.

Bleah. :-/ Why do most TV hookups make us gag?!

Okay, haven't watched SVU in forever, but if you aren't happy about Meloni ass shot that something must be crazy in the universe. Who the heck did he have sex with?

And sadly, I think its too little too late with Lost, when they were talking about setting an ending so that everyone could be satisfied and have an answer at the end I thought they meant next season would be the last, or two more sets of non-interuppted shows, but Three more years of waiting with months between episodes, I just don't see how that makes sense.

He had sex with Kathy. :(

no eliot no, so sad for him and just the whole state of that show

David is made of the awesome, he is, there is no way anyone can't adore him.

Lost, I was saying the other day..I'm not too sure how many people will be hanging around for three more seasons, I'm in it for the long haul, but sometimes they have to learn when to let it go.

Ok, let's start at the top, sitting we're sitting on this ledge together:

a) Least sexy sex scene Chris Meloni will ever do, and I'm including ones that ended in his character murdering the other person.
He just looked tired, not like someone about to hit it.
HOWEVER, he did look pretty relaxed/pleased with himself when he was drinking the oj in the kitchen.
It's just that nothing he did post-coital seemed to be consistent with his gradually fleshed-out (yes, okay, that was gratuitous of me) character. He's back to wringing necks. And for pete's sake, tell us where he's going at the end?
I also thought his gut is not flattered by the t-shirts or the side shots.
His ass, however, should be used to signal far galaxies. (Perhaps the Pegasus one...)
I'm not sure how this shoots canon to hell, other than my personal opinion that his post-sex character was from two years ago.
And I have to say, from the shrew she was in the first half of the season, I think I like the second-half Kathleen much better!
(PS.--Kathy was not in her little silky negligee. She was in her Kmart tank top.)
I just found it all sorts of hot how he didn't say a word. Almost could've been anybody in that bed.... ;-)
For the record, your problem with Kathy is? Or, your problem with him sleeping with Kathy is?
(Other than spoilers indicate a storyline that I think is a huge mistake....)

LOST--I think D and C are thinking they have a Battlestar or Shield or Nip/Tuck on their hands, where fans are willing to wait 8 months between shows and then not get a full season. And I'm pretty sure they don't.
I mean, it's not like if The King of Queens went on an 8 month hiatus and all anyone hears is crickets, but neither is The Sopranos.
I think this does the show a disservice in ratings in one key way: this is a show meant to be watched closely, obsessed over, and watched consistently. Note the lack of reruns in the summers. Note the dvd sales right before the new season. Much like 24, this is one of the shows where I hear lots of my friends say, oh, I'll catch the whole thing on dvd when I can watch the whole season in one shot.
Which means fair weather viewers can now say "oh, no really big mystery will be solved until May 2010, so I can skip the middle of next season and hey maybe even tonight's."
I'll be looking for a ratings drop-off, not severe but noticeable. While dvds are still doing brisk business on ebay.
I'm sticking around, but as my falling asleep last week proves, it's not quite the appointment television it once was. (Then again, this season, neither is Desperate Housewives or 24. And SVU is simply too ingrained for me to have any conscious decision at 10 pm on Tuesday nights.)

ATLANTIS--Still not a Rodster, except for the extreme slash he brings out in Shep. I saw the rap video and it was kinda embarrassing to watch, you know? Like, one hand over my eyes. I got the sense that the rap was in response to something someone else had done/posted? So I'll have to watch this "apology" at home tonight. Is the dog's site his own blog for real, or do we suspect someone else?

For the record, your problem with Kathy is? Or, your problem with him sleeping with Kathy is?

Well, for starters, she's a heinous hag, and has been for, oh, three or four seasons now. She jerks him around and completely does not deserve anything from him.

I like to think that Kathy would be a decent character if anyone on the staff of writers paid any attention to her. Like, when he was on trial and they only showed her at the end saying "I knew you didn't hurt that kid." Of course that looks unsupportive and ridiculous, but I blame that on the writers for not committing enough time or money to bring the actress in for an earlier scene or two. Then they had to put these words in her mouth to somehow acknowledge that he was in the paper and on TV as a killer.
Though I have to admit that I have no idea what they're doing with the Stabler side of things now. They get this big payoff ending with him telling her he wants to come home, then they don't bring him home. They make it a throwaway line in another episode, "Oh, we're moving back in together," but then they cut to a conflicted look on his face.
It doesn't come up again for an episode or two, then he simply HAS to see his kids, and she invites him to stay. I don't hate her for that. a) Cause again, see "writers" and b) she'd already indicated she was willing to get back together.
And did I mention how much I hate the upcoming plot contrivance that's going to continue this particular storyline? "If hate were people, I'd be China."
:-)

Remember the good old days when they all hung out and had parties and there was RPS everywhere? Yeah, pretty sure those days are long gone. And that makes me sad

Me too. :(

Then again, I bet those days were over last season when the first brigade of (mostly) pointless characters/actors came marching in.

Feels like I'm grieving for a tv show, and that seems incredibly stupid and/or insane.

I miss the days of whipping up RPS off the top of my head and sharing the glee with people. :(

It was possibly the one and only time in the history of ever that I yelled the words, "NO, MELONI, DO NOT TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF."

WHAT! Okay, that's just wrong, nothing should make you yell at Meloni to not take his clothes off. ;-) See this is why I record SVU and read my flist before deciding if the episode is worth watching or not. This one sounds like a doozy.

I'd say fast forward until the last ten minutes or so--Meloni definitely gives an awesome performance at the end, but the sex scene? Was HORRID. If only it had been Dani...

It's not a booty call.
