Odds & Ends
Haven’t yet watched FNL, so we can’t really recap that. Survivor last night proved to spark a bit of intrigue (for once), as we speculated, but it was entirely predictable based on the previews. Which we’re sure the producers probably felt compelled to produce to reassure us this season will eventually have a pulse. Oh, and also, that post-tribal “twist”, turned out to be a reward challenge, yeah, a little disappointing.
But unless the incredibly apathetic group remaining drinks a case of red bull, we might see Amanda end up winning this thing. Which, whatever. She might have to cross a slew of people to get there, costing her jury votes, so maybe not. But as of now it’s down to her an Todd, and she gets the edge because Todd has been perceived as the ring leader up until now, which people tend to resent this late in the game. Essentially, Todd’s done all the dirty work with her behind the scenes, and Amanda’s discretion all season will pay off in the waning weeks.
But yeah, it’s a really slow fucking news day today. It’s all strike oriented, and the basic theme seems to be that there has been virtually no progress since talks began on Monday. Shocking, I know. You would think that people in Hollywood would easily reach a compromise over an entirely fixable situation. Other actors to weigh in have been Edie Falco, Christina Applegate, the lead stoner from Freaks and Geeks and the brunette from That 70’s Show, a UCLA economist and gay writing protesters.
Sue Ellen Crandell demands you end the writer’s strike.
Now that we’ve confirmed everyone has an opinion, lets just set them aside and negotiate a deal. Because honestly, this site is becoming unmanageable without some material.
My apologies for mailing this in, FNL recap later today.
