Tuesday Links
Here are some links to brighten up your day…
Lost is over… for now and will run through 2010. Great. You know, people say The Sopranos is just spinning its wheels and David Chase had/has no idea how to end his series (I vehemently disagree with this sentiment but its a popular one). I would have to say that for however many red herrings there are in The Sopranos, Lost has twice as many meaningless “plot developments” just for the sake of providing the illusion that they are going somewhere with the story. Can you imagine sitting in on a Lost writing session? (que internal monologue) Let’s see, let’s see… we need something unexpected, something original but implausible that we’ll explain later but people will be infatuated with it because of its implausibility… who the fuck am I kidding? We need a cheap exploitive ploy for ratings so we/I can all keep our jobs… (/internal monologue) “I got it! We put a polar bear on the island!”.
According to Cheryl Hines, Curb Your Enthusiasm has finished filming its sixth season. The bad news? It’s their last. Six seasons must be the tipping point for LD, that’s when he left Seinfeld as well.
We’re just full of great news here today, Rescue Me is slated to come back on June 12th. With a few surprise cameos and one returning cameo. So I guess that means Dennis Leary and Callie Thorne didn’t perish in that absurd fire that ended their third season. I, for one, am shocked.
The sets for Studio 60 are being torn down…If need be, I suppose I could burn them for you, Mr. Reilly.
And finally, one last positive note to close out the links: Kevin Reilly is considering stretching The Office to a full hour and moving it to 9pm. This is good for two reasons. One, more Office. Two, it doesn’t conflict with Survivor if they do indeed change time slots.
That’s it for an unusually upbeat links. More later today on some of the forthcoming seasons mentioned here.
