Thursday TV

[shipperx]

Whew!  What is the law that says darn near everything must air on Thursday?

 Community -   Stop Action Episode reminded me a bit of the Farscape Looney-Toons episode.  It seemed a tad long, but I did enjoy the Christmas Pteradactyl and the bit of the final song saying the meaning of Christmas was "cookies... and liquor"    

 Big Bang Theory -  God, enough with Amy Farrah Fowler.  She's not that interesting nor very funny.  Did enjoy Raj and Wolowitz 'wrestling' to who had to be Rat Man's sidekick with the "superhero zingers' though.  Too bad the main plot sucked.  

 Fringe -  Poor, poor Olivia.  I feel like I say it every week but... poor Olivia!  I rather loved (and by that I mean my heart broke) the scene where Peter worked up to telling her about his relationship with FauxLivia. You could see her heartbreak behind her eyes even as she tried to be mature and logical about it.  That's the way to pull off that sort of thing.  She knew and acknowledged that Peter had done nothing wrong and yet...  and yet...  her heart broke.  It hurt and it was awful, and I felt so badly for her.  And, I see what you did there, Fringe with the main plot being a guy trying to resurrect a dead girl with the point being she didn't come back the same.  (And creepy ballet was CREEPY!!!!)  Very good episode.   Poor Olivia. *sniff*   

 Vampire Diaries -   I just knew that the wolf bite was going to be worse than they thought it was going to be.  Too bad the Katherine/Stefan scene was just a dream.  And I'm really liking the Caroline/Tyler bit.  Who would've guessed?   But their scenes got to me, and they did make being a werewolf look horrific. 

 Being Erica -  It was more like Being Erica's "Normal Again."  Like last year I thought that the episode was penned to work as either a season finale or a series finale.   Everyone in Erica's family, and Erica herself got happiness.  I really liked Sam asking for Erica's thoughts on Lenin what with Sam having been so angry when Erica warned Sam about Josh.  Julianne got detente with Brent.... but they're really, really going to have to work to sell Brent as straight-enough to actually be into Julianne... if they come back.  If not, I think we're supposed to 'understand' why Brent did the things he did.   Erica's trip to the Alt_past also reinforced that while Erica's parents are in a bit of limbo they're in a far, far better place with one another than they were at the beginning of the show.   Adam is, I suppose, current guy.  And it works in case they end here.  There's nothing permanent about it or objectionable, so whatever.  And Erica got to be a "Therapist in training..."  wonder who was the hand that touched her shoulder at the end...

I kind of like Amy Farah Fowler. I recognize her, and not in a "Girl Sheldon" sort of way. I've worked with a few of her type in medicine-- usually someone anxious to go into research just as soon as they finish up that pesky residency.

Granted I loved "Blossom" (even though I was already an adult when it aired and really was too old for it) and so I'm probably predisposed to like the actress.

ITA on Sheldon/Penny. That one makes no sense to me at all, and it's everywhere. I kind of like that they can be friends without it being sexual. I have guy friends with no sexual component, and you don't see that much on TV.
