I will be picking up several books for my Reformation class, and as a "reward" I will watch poll results and weep over Creigh Deeds losing to a horrible candidate through no fault but his own.

Not that I'll be watching and cackling my head off at the delicious celebrity gossip, hyperbole, and cursing elderly mother impersonations, but I would feel bad if I did not mention the premiere of the new Kathy Griffin stand up special at 9 on Bravo, Balls of Steel.

Yes, some straight guys like her comedy. Then again, some straight guys were raised in theater, so the connection isn't that shocking.

Tabatha's Salon Takeover is back at 10 on Bravo, and I know there have to be people around these parts who love her unapologetically bitchy attitude. Aside from introducing a broader audience to FIGJAM during her all too brief tenure on the inaugural season of Shear Genius, this DList certified hot slut eats idiots for breakfast and spits out their bones to use as curlers and straight combs on clients. Bitch could make Gordon Ramsey cry.

I'm 30 minutes into V and I'm already bored. You know what doesn't help? Realizing that I had mistaken Scott Wolf for Jamie Bamber when I saw the previews. How long has BSG been off the air?

I'm going to go get drunk and watch Firefly.

I do love Sons of Anarchy. BUT, they've got to step up the quality of the dialogue. How many times are they going to say "Shit" and "Jesus Christ" in the same-type situations? That stuff doesn't offend me in the least, religion-wise. It's just lazy writing.

"V" is little more than an allegory for Rothschild/Rockefeller/Illuminati conspiracies.

Where's Fox Mulder when you need him?

I just watched V tonight. I am so glad I am not as hip, cool, or trendy as ya'll.

I really loved it. Alan Tudyk! Villian!

Who cares!!! My boyfriend also agrees with me. He is 10 years older than me, lol. We met online at age-gap club -- http://AgelessMeet.COM/. Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.

I'm here, as usual, to talk about SYTYCD.

The Shankman is really growing on me as a judge. I wasn't always thrilled when he choreographed but he KILLS as a judge. He's articulate, gives fantastic, helpful critique, and was spot on when reviewing Tyce's gospel number in comparing it to Alvin Ailey and Fiddler on the Roof. Even though that number fell a little flat, I was happy to hear my favorite song from The Color Purple (God's Tryin to Tell You Something). I listen to it on Sundays and count it as going to church.

I was sorry to see Bianca go. I really enjoyed her and wanted to see what else she was capable of. Phillip, eh. He's not been performing well.
And Legacy is kind of awesome. Lots of good performances tonight. I'm more interested this season than last.

I love Adam as a judge - was actually happy when they made him permanent. He was adorable last week when he did his Lil C impression. I felt terribly for Bianca and Phillip, but at the same time thought they were the correct choices.

Tyce's choreography does nothing for me most of the time. His routines seem to start strong and then fall flat.

As for V, I thought it was just ok. It seemed rather silly to me how Elizabeth Mitchell's character was fed little breadcrumbs that let her to the exact right information; it was all so easy for her to be involved in the "secret group". I thought the discovery could have been drawn out a bit longer.

SPOILER ALERT????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
V:
That episode was jumpy as hell. Some of the lines were weird and my eyes rolled out of my fucking head during the jeweler scene. That was some awful writing. Speaking of, my wife totally called the twist with Morris' character. She's creepy like that.
As others have stated, I also desire the rebel teenager's death. The word "leering" comes to mind.
Amazingly, Party-of-Five boy didn't bother me at all. His inner-confusion face will fit in nicely here. And what's with his assistant?! Her face freaked me way out.
You don't one off the Tudyk! He'll be around, haunting that lady's dreams or the V's will slap his skin on another V, or both.
Anna. Sweet Anna. Some women can pull off the boycut, others cannot. Anna can. Oh yes, she can.

My rating for "V"? 2 mehs.
Points for including both Inara & Wash (YEAH FIREFLIERS!!!), Juliet kicking some butt, the beautiful Morris Chestnut, but minus points for the shitty writing, awful blonde chick from "Smallville," plastic Party of Five boy, and uber-annoying teenage son.

Tivo'd this week so Mr. Dammit can check it out, but overall, I think once was enough.

Damn, as much as I love Morena, I do miss the ultra-scary Diana, and Freddy Krueger in the original.

Question: Will Morena/Anna deep-throat a rat as in the original? Discuss.

Cindy,
I DVR 90% of the shows I watch, and I like reading these comment threads. I am a confused, self-flagellating man who sees spoilers at every turn. For example, I know who is kicked off SYTYCD, even though I came here to comment about V.

Off topic: Has anyone looked up the IMDB pages for the main BSG actors and actresses? They've all done the same shows at one time or another. The funniest one is "The L Word." About 5 of them have guest starred. Space lesbians.

If, in the second ep, I hear the line "You rock" even a single time, I'm out. Once was painful enough, but then to hear it a second time within the first half hour? That's some crazy original writing, there.

Re: SOA dialogue: Agreed, but do bear in mind that these characters are mostly sleazy, "undereducated" biker-types, so too large a vocabulary might be equally unrealistic. It's a fine line.
