What is it with TV scheduling lately? Nothing is on in a consistent fashion any more. Shows start randomly at any time of year (for instance, Blood Ties which is starting this Sunday and of course conflicts with The Dresden Files), and there are gaps of weeks and sometimes months in a season (I'm looking at you Bones, Ghosthunters, Heroes, House, Jericho, and Stargate: Atlantis), and they change days and times randomly (too many to count!), and sometimes a particular episode will run 3 minutes past the hour and screw up the tape (Heroes last week), or consistently starts 3 minutes early (NCIS) so if you're watching something else before it, you invariably miss the teaser.

How the hell is anyone supposed to watch TV any more, unless they have a Tivo that automatically catches everything?

Whew. Okay. Got that out of my system.

Now, on to pleasanter things.
Hugh Laurie? Is hot. Last night's ep featured one of the best onscreen kisses I have ever seen. Good ep, too. Can I just say how glad I am that A) the Tritter arc is dead and B) the cancer thing was a fakeout. Also, Dave Matthews is a pretty good actor for a singer. :)

ETA: For you David McCallum or Torchwood fans out there, here's a rec: jadesfire2808 has written a short, well-characterized Torchwood/Sapphire & Steel crossover. You can find it on her LJ here.

Oh yeah! That last scene was the BEST! *g*

"The best part is knowing that they were really playing."

Yes! I so hate it when they never show the players hands, so that you know it's all fake. This was real! =>}
