Ringthane

I watched one episode and all she did was mimic all the moves of the old one, without adding anything of her own. It was like watching a tribute band - they can mimic the originals, but there's nothing original or new.

For me, it has to be Doctor Who. Also Monty Python's Flying Circus, Dave Allen at Large, The Tomorrow People, and Blake's 7. I never noticed how many of mine are British shows.

I just watched a few episodes a few days ago - it holds up very well for being over 20 years old (even if the equipment looks ancient now). One thing I noticed this time that I never noticed in all the times I've seen the pilot - after the first trauma is done, when Mark and Doug are in the hallway leaning against the walls, and Carol's walking away - somebody forgot to pull up the tape for Anthony Edwards and George Clooney's marks before they shot the scene. The little things you notice...

Well, people are giving just as much credence to the idea that Tarek was throwing a gun around like a drum major at a homecoming game last year, when he was merely wearing it for protection from wild animals, so what do you really expect?

But he wasn't "running around with a gun", according to the reports. He took it with him for protection in an area where many wild animals are known to be. It's not like he was using it as a hammer on one of their flips, or something.

I was just about to mention that - they definitely had blood on their clothes. And not just a spot or two, but enough to be noticeable.

One question I had - the guard that was actually the hit man: it was weird that nobody said anything about him being missing. He did say in the recap "they'll hire anybody here", so I'm assuming that he was a real employee, but even after everything was over, I don't recall anyone saying "hey, are we one guard short?" or anything. I haven't seen all the episodes yet, so I don't know if it does come up, but it was weird that he was never acknowledged by any of the prison staff.

Who was Cole? I don't remember a Cole.

Which one was that? I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

Robert Culp was the villain at least twice - once when he was the PI ("Death Lends a Hand") and once when he was the football team owner ("The Most Crucial Game"). Oh - he was also the villain in the subliminal cuts one ("Double Exposure"). There was also the blond guy who was in the first one ("Murder by the Book" or whatever) and then again when he was a magician (Jack Cassidy). Also he was a publisher in the one where the other guy made all the bombs. Sorry - I'm not good with the names. But I think Culp, the blond guy, Shatner, and somebody else I can't remember were the villains most often.

Shiplap Station?

I think they're not really shocked, they're just acting for the camera. Then somebody who's just flipping (pun intended) through the channels and catches a few seconds of the show will be intrigued enough ("Oh, my, how will these young flippers make it with all these hurdles?") to keep watching, and HGTV has another viewer.

Wait a minute... The cabinet and counter in the bathroom don't match the ones in the kitchen. I feel lied to... I thought that was the thing to do if you wanted top dollar from buyers.

We hope, anyway, She's been acting weird enough that you never know. And Abbi has been looking amazing this season. She always looks great, but this season she's really bringing it. It seems like she's doing her hair a little differently, and it really suits her. And she did look good in the dress too. The one thing that puzzles me is that sometimes she seems like she's taller than Illana, and other times she seems to be either the same height, or slightly shorter. Maybe it's just the shoes she's wearing or something.

I think that was the one where both Ross and Joey were fighting over Kristen.
