Skipped VM and watched House. I absolutely hate the anvils they're dropping about a possible House/Cameron relationship, but I find that I'm enjoying the Tritter (Evil Cop) storyline, despite the legal implausibilities. He's obviously a narrative device to test the stresses in House's psyche and his relationships, but as long as the writers are actually EXPLORING those relationships, I don't mind the device.
(On the down side, I'm starting to become hypersensitive to the Patient of the Week formula, with all of its misdirections and possible conclusions.)
Watched Gilmore Girls for the first time in almost a year, and enjoyed it (with reservations). Rosenthal and Kirschner did a passable imitation of the Palladino Patter (TM), and Lorelai and Chris look like more of a natural and relaxed pairing than Lorelai and Luke. (Were all those stories about Lauren Graham and Scott Patterson's mutual discomfort true?) The supporting characters are closer to S1-3 now than at the end of the Palladinos' reign, and Rory is bearable again. Still, I can't even pretend to be interested in the Lorelai/Chris pairing, because you know that somewhere down the line, Chris is going to fuck it up. It would be against character if he didn't.
And, since I was the one who spammed you with the Fox news story about S60's cancellation, let me make up for it by relaying the good news: there's a good shot that NBC will pick up the series for the full 22 eps...
