owlbeerDo I need to start this with my traditional greeting oh 'haha, oh wow I should be in bed?' or do you think we can take it as read now?
I really enjoyed this episode. There were lots of really nice/hilarious/heart-breaking moments.
I really like Don/Fay and Fay as a character is definitely getting more interesting to me. I think there's more to her than meets the eye and I loved her speech to Don in his office. So fair.
Oh, Sally Sally Sally. I fear what is going to happen to you in the future. She was so happy (relatively) when she was with Don and then to see Betty standing there in reception my heart just sunk for her, and also when she tripped. Oh. Poor girl.
I really liked Megan and Joyce in this episode too. I hope they both get to stick around.
Sight gags don't always work for me, but the maneuvering of Mrs Blankenship was so, so well done, with Pete and then Harry at the end. Perfect.
Roger and Joan! I knew it was going to go down not quite how I wanted it, but it was an interesting way of bringing them together again. Loved the little scene in the diner, and to be reminded that despite his slightly callous selfish moments, Roger does really care about some people that aren't himself. He seemed quite affected by Mrs Blankenship's death, but I guess that is more because it made him reflect upon his own mortality and how close he came to dying in the office.
Also, they shed their wedding rings in the mugging. Hmmm. Thematic. Will be interested to see where they go with this. I think Roger would leave Jane in a second (and be a lot poorer financially for it) while Joan is something else all together, and I'm not entirely sure that's exactly where they're going with this.
I really do love this show.
I've seen a few posts about what people are going to be watching this new (US) TV season.
Returning shows:
Fringe - Shocker. It's not Thursday yet, is it? Damn.
Bones- sort of depending on how I feel. I'll watch a few episodes anyway. Hodgins will compel me if nothing else.
Community - need to see S1 first but I'm definitely keen
Big Bang Theory - I keep forgetting to watch it regularly. Must remember. In general, I tend to find it a lot harder to keep up with comedies than dramas. Mostly I think because I don't watch too many of them.
Gossip Girl - now two eps behind, but curiosity will get the better of me. Also, Chace Crawford.
In terms of new shows: I'm interested in Boardwalk Empire and despite myself The Event, even though it is absolutely another FlashForward waiting to happen. I like watching things crash and burn. I also await to see what show fandom welcomes with open arms, because there will be one.
I need to catch up on White Collar at some point too. I stopped after the disappointing 2.02 and forgot to keep watching. Also, the Treme pilot is still unwatched. David Simon, self, David Simon. Watch. It.
And there's some sort of Merlin show on BBC at the moment as well. ;) So much TV, so little time. (I've heard Chuck is very good ... and four seasons old. Oy. Later).
RL wise, my interview today went well, I think. Don't think I said anything too horrendously stupid. There is a second interview (*sigh*) which hopefully I'll hear about tomorrow. Fingers crossed anyway. I really want this job like woah.
Now, to tell myself that now is not at all an appropriate time to start watching One Week.
I can also see me possibly getting interested in hockey this year. I blame this on conversations with my ex-workmate (huge Canadiens fan), my own curiosity, certain people on my friends list and more than one actor (yes, more than just the one you're thinking of, but to be honest, fair call) I like going on about it.
