When Luke showed up though after it was established that Chris was off somewhere pouting I steeled myself for the inevitable staple of soap operas and this season of GG - Christopher popping up when Lorelei was having an innocent conversation with Luke and misinterpreting the situation. Bah. Although coupled with last week's episode, I like how they are re-establishing the Luke-Lorelei relationship and edging out Chris.
On Law & Order: SVU Donut (Nathan Corbett) the pint-size car-stealing and joy riding kid from The Wire popped up on a rather blah episode. Olivia's anti-corporate crusade against the shady pesticide company was worthy but ridiculous. And CI was disappointing, too. Not enough brilliant deducing by Goren (the generally brilliant Vincent D'Onofrio).
And, apparently Bunk popped up on Numb3rs last week (via TV Squad)
And to those buzzing on the internets that it's only 18-24 year old guys who suffer this problem - nope, it the middle-aged ladies, too.
Dancing With The Stars carried on predictably last night. I think last week's order will be the final finish: Mario wins, then Emmitt, Joey and Monique. Poor Monique - the judges criticized her last week for getting her heel caught in her long skirt and then this week for showing off her imprecise footwork in her short skirt. But she could have protested that unfortunate dark lipstick which certainly didn't help her chances. And, I can't believe that none of the recaps I've read have mentioned the fact that Cheryl has a ballroom. In her house. I'm still scraping my jaw off the ground over that one.
Law & Order: CI was a bit disappointing. In the continuing L&O tradition of using aging stars for over-the-top roles, Liza Minelli's turn was more of a whimper than a bang. But always fun to see Vincent D'Onofrio work his psychological charms.
It was fun to see Mariska Hargitay back on Law & Order: SVU but, damn, put some dirt makeup on that woman. Her post-pregnancy glow on top of her already insane beauty was a tad riduculous when she was supposed to be an undercover anarchist terrorist. But loved how she couldn't get SVU detectiving out of her blood. And, please tell me that Dani and Elliot kissing in the promos for next week is some kind of bad dream red herring play acting to catch a thief and not a real hook-up. Ewww.
For tonight its 30 Rock which is getting better. Alec Baldwin and Kenneth the Page are laugh out loud funny. I'm still laughing over the "those shoes are definitely bi-curious" line from last week. No Jane Krakowski is a good move and, although I wished Rachael Dratch was in the "Girlie" role when ever Krakowski or Dratch were on screen, perhaps Dratch won't feel as bad now that they are both MIA.
Then Lost, of course. I have my suspicions of who's going to bite the bullet based on promos for upcoming daytime talk show guests. Dang! I generally don't mind spoilers but I like being surprised with Lost. And if I am right, I am not happy.
Finally, watching The Nine and recording Top Chef. I loved the pilot for The Nine but I'm losing patience with the pace of reveal and balance between flashback and present. Seriously, if they keep doling out 10 minutes per week of the 52 hour robbery this show will lose its already dwindling audience before the end of the season let alone before revealling the whole story. Top Chef, so far, is not as fun or engaging as last season. At this rate, it may disapper from the DVR and I'll catch up when they have a marathon at the end of the season.
And, question about Heroes... is Niki a Summer Roberts rage blackout come to life?
