Bringing Party Favors to Hell

New Amsterdam was watchable. Certainly not the worst show to come down the pike, but it feels a bit tentative as of yet. (I don't think any of these comments are particularly spoilery so I'm not cutting them.) I'm not sure what narrative purpose the partner serves, since she's not there for UST, and didn't seem to have a lot to do in the ep, but I'll definitely give it time to settle in. Also, they need someone who's better at applying fake facial hair. To my dismay, about 2/3rds of the way through the ep, I realized that Nicolaj Coster-Waldau (I love that name!) looks like a more Hollywood version of a friend of mine's husband so it's a little weird to find him attractive, but I do. ;D

ReGenesis has started it's last season :( and I spent the first episode of it alternating between happiness over all because it's just so darn good, and ( spoilers behind the cut )

And then there was Jericho. Okay, I'll admit it. I was genuinely shocked by last night's ending. I'm so used to them leading us down the garden path in the trailers that I really didn't think anything about their spoilery warning in the commercials. But... but... ( spoilers behind the cut )

I'll stick the Stargate Atlantis stuff below a cut tag at the bottom.

First the Psycho Kitty question: Do any of you happen to know of anything that will make a cat less territorial? Lately there's been something... we don't know if it's a cat or a coon-- occasionally out on the roof outside my window at night, and if Riku realizes it is out there he just goes ballistic. He's like a wildcat. He tore the window screen open again last night trying to get at whatever it was (along with my arm and my ankle-- I had to get him away from the window before he went out after it, and he was still in full fight mode at the time. He didn't mean to rip me up.)

I'm afraid one of these days he will get out, and he is so small (only weighs about 6 pounds) I think a coon would have the best of him just from sheer size. (Though maybe not for ferocity. Not to mention he's loud. I heard one of the neighbors who happened to be outside at the time say "What the HELL was that?" when he heard Riku screaming. I keep thinking about that cat who treed a bear and thinking he and Riku must be related. :) It's so weird because he's SUCH a 'fraidy cat in other ways. He gets freaked out by bumps in the carpet for God's sake! Or strangers. We call him our Wussy Pussy most of the time. But he sees that whatever it is out there and it's like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He even freaks out our younger and much larger cat, Sora, when he gets like that. Sora just runs and hides until Riku has calmed down.

Second: anyone know where I can find some good ReGenesis screencaps?

Third, last night's Stargate: Atlantis. ( spoilers behind the cut )
