I’m such a sucker for period pieces, especially those that feature Oscar-winning costumes and amazing actresses like Emily Blunt.  Give me a period piece that includes both some history and a love story, and I’m compeltely gone. 

Going into this movie, I thought I knew a little about Queen Victoria, only to realize as I was watching it that I didn’t.  Her name is everywhere in London, as is her husband’s, Albert, not to mention the British Columbian city that, growing up in Seattle, I visited quite a bit.  The whole regency thing felt vaguely familiar, but apparently Hollywood’s ability to teach me history is more impacting than a textbook or museum plaque.  Go figure.

While I enjoyed learning about her life and the fascinating family/political relationships that affected her from such a young age, it was her relationship with German-born Prince Albert that drove the story forward.  I felt so bad for both of them, the way they were “guided,” more like controlled, by their family and advisors.  How would that feel to be so surrounded by people and yet feel terribly alone?  You could see how they understood each other from the start.  Of course that understanding grows into something more, something almost palpable it’s so strong.  But, like all real couple, loving each other is not as easy as it seems when you’re faced with the realities and difficulties of daily life.

Before I give away too much, go rent this now that it’s on DVD.  It will not disappoint.

I miss Carla (Turk’s wife).  Having Turk talk to her on the phone just made me want her to come on the show.  Jordan showed up last week why can’t Carla show up?

I just assumed it was Cole who cheated.  I never suspected Lucy.  She seems so straight arrow.  I guess the pressure just got to her.  I did love how Cole was like, I pretty much own this place so I don’t care what kind of grades I get.  What a jerk.

I was not expecting to find out Drew was married.  That came from left field but I’m glad Denise could look past it.  I really like them together.

I was really happy to see Catalina from My Name is Earl playing one of the patients.  I love it when my TV families meld together.

I was really skeptical of this season at the beginning but it’s coming together for me.  Maybe I just love Scrubs so much that I’m willing to take what I get.  I don’t how.  How are you feeling about it?

Scrubs is on Tuesdays at 9:00pm on ABC.

As I was watching the show I thought the title referred to Stefan’s turning point not to leave but oh boy I didn’t expect it to be Elena finding Katherine’s picture.  I mean, we all knew she was going to find out eventually, right?  It was inevitable.  I’m just glad I didn’t pay attention to last weeks preview, if they showed it, because it was a great twist for me.  And she left the necklace behind.  Bye, bye Stefan.

Well, she’ll be back around sooner or later but the question is did the vampire at the end single her out or was it just bad luck she was driving down the road?  She’s not wearing the necklace anymore so will he get her to do evil things for him?  Obviously he’s not going to kill her but what exactly is the plan here?  Will he use her to bring back Katherine and the other 28 vampires?  I’m assuming this is Logan’s sire.

Speaking of Logan how did Alaric know he was a vampire? Could he smell him?  Stefan and Damon knew he was “dead” and now he’s “alive” so it didn’t take too much to figure that out but I’m super curious about the teacher.  I sure hope they tell us and don’t just leave us guessing on this one.  I don’t remember him ever being in the room with Stefan or Damon so maybe he doesn’t know they are vampires yet.  I still don’t quite understand what his role is in the show yet but I’m enjoying him being around.

Now to the exciting stuff.  Do you think Travis is a werewolf?  This is where reading the books would have come in handy.  It’s just they had that scene where he said he didn’t know what was wrong with him and the full moon was behind him.  Am I reading too much into this.  I don’t know.  Totally aggressive guy and full moon.  Spells werewolf to me.

I’m glad things got shaken up a bit.  How long do you think it will take Elena to forgive Stefan?  However long it takes for him to save her, right?

The Vampire Diaries are on Thursday nights at 8pm on The CW.

Okay, I do not usually flip like this, but the last 3 episodes have been some of the greatest in Survivor history. (They even rival the very best episode ever, when Randy was blindsided.) Russell drove me crazy for the first few weeks, and now, every time he finds an idol, it is the most entertaining thing ever, and I can’t help but root for him! My favorite quote of the night came from Russell, who said regarding the blindside of Kelly, “That was almost as great as my kids being born.”

So, I really don’t have much to say about the challenge, except that I’m SO glad Russell was on the winning team. (And I can’t believe Natalie didn’t fall out!) He may have found the 3rd immunity idol without the clue, but it would have been pretty tough. Instead, wasn’t it fabulous watching Dave follow him, and then Russell breaking out into to sprint to lose him?! I couldn’t believe it when he went back to the same spot and actually found the idol! Seriously, you can’t deny that the guy is good! I was literally laughing out loud.

After that, the immunity challenge was a little anticlimactic. But, all that mattered was that Laura didn’t win, so I was happy with it.

Now, the last 15-20 minutes of the show were the best. Well, really the last 5 minutes. But I just love it when there are so many deals trying to be made, when people make fake deals, the scrambling to scam others… THAT is why I watch this show. I love that Russell didn’t fall for Monica’s plan. He knew exactly what she was doing. And, the outcome was awesome! That was one of the best endings I’ve seen in a while. The whole tie-breaking vote system was interesting. If it came down to a tie twice in a row, any single one of them could have gone home. So, it was so perfect that John was rubbed the wrong way just enough to realize that! If I were him, I would have done the exact same thing. You either vote out one of your teammates, or you risk having a 1/8 chance of going home yourself. So, that was seriously the best ending anyone could have asked for! I cannot wait to see what happens next. I wonder if Russell will be a little more hesitant about sharing that he has the idol this time. We’ll see…

Because next week is Thanksgiving, Survivor will be a recap of everything. A new episode will resume the following Thursday, at 8pm PST, on CBS.

This will be a short post but I just wanted to direct you to Stephenie’s site where she answers some really fun questions about her books and movies.  My favorite is how she came up with her names for Twilight.  Check it out.

Q& A Link for Stephenie Meyer

Nicole!!!!  I thought for sure it was going to be Laura after this episode.  For sure.  She pulled off a great commercial and her runway walk was more “normal” than Nicole’s but Nicole won out in the end.  I love Nicole but her runway was comical.  I’m glad Tyra and Nigel thought it was signature.  I didn’t like Laura’s walk either but Tyra loved it.

I really enjoyed the sequence on the runway with the fabric and the wind.  I thought both girls did an amazing job with part.

It seems like the judges always choose the girl that has the worst commercial.  I remember thinking that the last several cycles.  I guess the emphasis of the top model job is not acting but runway and photo shoots.  And in that regard they totally picked the right person.  Nicole is stunning.  Just standing around she’s gorgeous but you get her in front of the camera and she comes so life.

I am so happy with the results.  Are you?

I hate it when I love a “laidback” team like Gary and Matt.  Much as I love them, I’m always scared that their more relaxed nature will get them in trouble.  I will miss Gary’s Minnesota accent–the way he said “sauna” was cracking me up–and Matt’s pink hair.  Sniff, sniff.  Much as I love them, however, I wanted to smack Matt upside the head for not knowing what a candelabra is!  Oh well, at least they got to hang out in the saunabus.  How cool was that?

Meanwhile Meghan and Cheyne showed just how sporty they are by winning the volleyball–which looked ridiculously hard in that mud, by the way– in what appeared to be a much shorter time than the other teams.  They are tough competitors, but I don’t feel very strongly about them one way or the other.  I don’t love them, but I also don’t hate them.  They’re so solid as a team; they’re just not all that interesting.  I would pay good money to have legs like Meghan’s, however.  Wow.  She was the only one rocking the underwear out there.

The Globetrotters/Gay Brothers rivalry was getting kind of old by the end of the show, considering they all but drove that one into the ground.  Clearly they were trying to build up for the big fall at the end, but when they showed the footage the second time it really did look like an accident.  Flight Time was trying to pass Dan, tripped and fell, and accidentally brought Dan down with him.  Really not that big of a deal.  Or maybe I’m just biased because I like the Globetrotters way more than I do the brothers.

Amazing Race is on CBS, Sundays at 8 pm.

Well it’s obvious the show has upped it’s gore factor.  Everyone has blood spurting out of them and they’re all twitching dying on the floor.  I’m not saying I mind so much as I’m surprised because I don’t remember last season being this way.

I didn’t understand until this episode that the underworld is where everyone goes after they die good or bad.  I was so shocked to see that monk surrounded by all the writhing, rotting bodies.  I guess last week I just didn’t think about it enough to figure it out.  But if the underworld is where you go after you die, it’s where you go after you die.

OK, the banelings.  They get to come back to the mortal world as long as they kill while they are there thus supplying the underworld with even more inhabitants and soldiers.  Good plan.

How hilarious is it that Cara tries to do something nice and ends up sending the locket away?  They got it back though in the end as well as the boy that carries the mark.

I can’t wait to see what the Keeper throws at them next week while the rift to the underworld is still open.  How about you?

Legend of the Seeker is on Saturdays at 2pm on WGN.  It’s also on several other channels at different times so check your guides.

I can honestly say I am almost crying right now.  Why do I have to love the shows the TV execs hate.  I really like Dollhouse and I love Joss Whedon so I am totally upset by that cancellation.  I think I love everything about the show.  The premise, the actors, the characters.  Super sad about this one.

I am devastated about Eastwick.  I don’t understand at all why this show would be cancelled.  It’s got a great plot line and terrific actresses.  It’s safe to say this is one of my favorite shows on TV right now.  And my gosh, it’s in the 10pm time slot.  Does it really hurt anybody if it just hangs out there?  I mean really?  I feel totally betrayed by ABC.  How dare they tempt me with this beautiful show and then take it away.  Aargh.

Why do I even bother with new shows?  They all get cancelled in the end anyway.  Oh well.  Are you as sad as I am?

Here’s the link the the article at /film.

Finally this is back on.  I will say right off the bat though that my husband didn’t last through the first fifteen minutes before he walked away.  I don’t know.  I’ve got a soft spot for this show and I’m going to continue to watch it.

So first of all.  We go from Darken Rahl, a bad sorcerer type guy to the Keeper of the Underworld.  Really?  That seems like such a jump to me.  They couldn’t have found someone in between.  I mean I’m coming up blank for options here but where are they going to go next once he defeats the Keeper?  I’m just going to forget about that for now and focus on this season.

Have I mentioned before that I love the Mord-siths?  Maybe it’s TMI but I would love one of those outfits.  Those girls are beyond sexy and totally badass.  What’s not to love?  And Cara is just about one of the most beautiful girls I’ve seen and she’s a good girl now.  It doesn’t get any more awesome than that.  Can you imagine the fights they’re going to have between Cara and Kahlan.  I don’t mean bar fights I just mean they’re not going to trust each other at all.

Speaking of Kahlan.  Why was she ever considering leaving the Seeker.  I don’t care if she’s the Mother Confessor she’s Richard’s Confessor and she should know better than to leave him.

I’m intrigued by this prophecy that Richard will fail but know that everything will work out in the end.  It always does.

So anyone else excited the show is back on again?

Legend of the Seeker is on Saturdays at 2pm on WGN.  It’s also on several other channels at different times so check your guides.

Well, after just saying I didn’t pay any attention to the Kandorians there’s a whole episode devoted to them.  I guess the writers want me to pay more attention.  Note taken, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it.

How bad does it suck for Clark to lose Jor-El right when he finds him.  There must have been so many questions he had for him.  Not to mention the longing to have a father again.  Super sucks.

And what about Jor-El asking Clark to save Zod.  I know Clark is mad but Clark is Clark, he’s totally going to give Zod a break in the end.  Or at least that’s what my take on Clark is.

I think it’s hilarious that Lois left town.  Of course she only left town because it was convenient for the story but it’s cute that she runs at the first sign of commitment.

It looks like the Kandorians are going to play a bigger part in the show whether we like it or not.  How was Friday’s episode for you?  Did you change your mind about the Kandorians now that you have more detail?

Smallville is on Fridays at 8pm on The CW.

Seriously, how weird would it be to work for the very people you used to run from?  I can’t help but think about that as I watch Neil sit in on all those FBI interrogations and meetings, or even as he helps orchestrate the traps for criminals.  Tonight’s set-up probably wasn’t too big of a stretch for him, however.  Huge party in that roof-top garden with tons of models and other elite New Yorkers?  The former art thief seemed right in his element.

I never would have imagined that you could hide valuable intel/security info in the hem or thread of a dress.  These spies and criminals think of it all, don’t they?  The foreign model who first witnessed the first murder kind of drove me crazy with her overdone accent and her awful acting, but thankfully Neil was in most of the scenes with her so I could just look at him instead.  Adorable eye candy that he is.

I’m curious to see what happens with the FBI agent who undercovered as a model.  There was definitely some good flirting going on between her and Caffrey.  Then again, he flirts with everyone, even Peter’s wife–loved that he just showed up at Peter’s house without asking Burke–who was happy to reciprocate.  Can you blame her?  I liked that she got to be involved in the case a little bit, even if it was only as an event planner.  Neil seems determined to track down his girlfriend and appears to be getting closer.  What do you think will happen when he does find her?  Do you think Burke will let him go after her?

White Collar is on USA, Fridays at 10pm.

Figure skating lifts in the school parking lot.  High-larious.  I was wondering what Claire was doing when she struck that funky pose, and then I realized it was their old routine and thought, “Awesome!”  It was nice to see her make Mitchell so happy for once, since usually they’re fighting over something or he’s worrying about something else.  I love the way this show writes their relationship.

Manny as the killer fencer was pretty funny too.  There always seems to be something in this show that reminds me of my own family, and this time is was the fencing.  Or more specifically, Jay and the fencing.  My dad was exactly the same way growing up, not fulfilled in life unless one of his kids was winning a championship in some sport.  Luckily we all loved sports on our own, but the pressure to win and be the best ruined more than one tenth grade basketball game for me, not to mention when I completely choked at the state tennis tournament my senior year just knowing he was there watching.  He was always coaching from the sidelines, pulling me aside during time-outs to tell me what I was doing wrong when I should have been huddled up with my coach and teammates.

Back to Jay, however.  I loved how pumped he was, “Who’s the Manny?” T-shirts and all, which is why the big championship was so funny to watch.  The pity cards for Manny’s opponent just kept piling up: orphaned, diabetic, and then all the wheel-chaired friends rolling in.  And then there’s Manny just taking it to her, misreading Jay’s signal to back off as “Go get her!”  Good stuff.

Claire’s husband drives me crazy in a Michael Scott embarrassing kind of way, and the way he used Luke to sell real estate was so typical of something he would do.  No shame.  I loved how he tried to cover up Luke’s injury and then lost his own shoe trying to walk up the stairs.  That poor couple must have thought he was crazy.

I can always count on this show for some good laughs.  It’s definitely one of my new favorites this fall.

Modern Family is on ABC, Wednesdays at 9pm.

Remember Bryce Larkin from the much-beloved and yet currently not-on-the-air “Chuck”?  Matt Bomer played Chuck’s nemessis and seems to have a corner on the sexy villain-hero role, because he’s playing a similar character in this new series.  His name is Neil Caffrey, a con-man and mult-tasking criminal, who after serving nearly all of his four-year jail sentence decides to escape maximum security prison and find his girlfriend.  Caffrey is too late, however; she’s fled the country and Peter Burke, the FBI agent who originally caught Caffrey, finds him and puts him back in prison.

Caffrey offers his inside knowledge and experience in helping Burke catch his latest white collar criminal, “the Dutchman,” who has eluded Peter for almost three years.  Burke eventually agrees and Caffrey becomes a paroled, FBI “consultant” who wears an ankle GPS bracelet to track his every move.  Together they try and catch a famous counterfeiter.  Forgery fascinates me, especially on something as specific as a bond or on something as public as artwork.  Do you remember the movie, “Catch me if you can” with all those counterfeit checks and forged documents?  Such attention to detail just doesn’t fit my mental of image of a crook.

Plot aside, Neil is a fun lead character to watch.  Yes, he’s so good-looking it almost hurts, especially once he loses the orange jumpsuit and dons all those fabulous Rat Pack suits.  Fly me to the moon, baby.  He definitely has the charm thing going for him, too.  I couldn’t believe how easily he struck up a conversation with June, a very rich old widow, at the thrift store.  Before you know it she’s given him all her husband’s old yet top-of-the-line suits and she’s letting out her guest room to him.  Nice that it happens to be on the upper east side with an incredible view of Manhattan.  Speaking of views, the locations they shoot on for this show are pretty amazing and make me wish I were in New York with them.

Burke is of course the opposite of, and therefore perfect foil for, Caffrey.  All business, no charm.  How and why he is married to Tiffany Thiesen of Saved by the Bell fame, who appears about fifteen years younger and five times better-looking, continues to baffle.  As Liz would say, “These are Hollywood rules, not real life rules.”  Anyway, the tension and almost friendship between Neil and Peter makes for some fun dialogue, and even if that fails I may still watch it just for the eye candy.  Yum.

White Collar is on USA, Fridays at 10pm, Pacific time.

Yes!  I was going to go to bed and watch the show tomorrow but changed my mind at the last minute and am so glad I did.  I would’ve missed out on all the long-awaited Rigsby/Van Pelt drama.  The deeper they made their way into the secret passageway of that house, the more I hoped Wayne would say something.  I had no idea just how bold he would be, however.  “I love you. . .   I need you.”  Wow.  Grace’s unsure response had me worried, and their super awkward follow-up conversation in the car was simply tragic, knowing just how long it took Rigsby to muster up the courage to confess.  When she asked to do the stake-out separately, I figured we were in for a season of even more awkwardness between them.  That suspicion felt proven by the kitchen scene before the pizza.  But then!  Grace proved me wrong and pulled Wayne into one of the empty interrogation rooms for the killer kiss we knew those two were capable of.  Sigh.  Rigsby’s goofy, post-kiss grin was absolutely priceless.  You could tell Jane was onto them when they came in for pizza, but I was sure glad he didn’t out them.  That would have ruined the moment for sure.  I can’t wait to see how long they keep it a secret, especially since it’s against the CBI rules to date people on your team.  You can be sure Jane will have fun with his inside knowledge, however.

As for the case, I wasn’t super surprised it was the nephew, although I certainly wondered about the bookstore owner when Jane called him a “deceitful bag of bones.”  The ghost contraptions in that mansion would make for some fun Halloweens.  Too bad they ended up killing the architect.  I thought it was hilarious that Jane had them drinking the fortune at the end.  Lisbon’s expression was too perfect.

The Mentalist is on CBS, Thursdays at 10pm Pacific time.

Kenneth is one of the reasons I love this show, and his stories about the town he comes from are definitely part of his hillbilly charm.  That’s why I was excited to hear that Jack and Liz were heading to Stone Mountain to find their “Middle America” cast member.  Fatty Fatty Sandwich Farm looked awesome, and Liz’s speech about sandwiches being the universally-loved food was even more awesome.  I love Lemon and her views on life.

Jack is so mean for not telling Liz what chuckle is (disgusting if that is for real), and their checking in at the hotel was downright painful to watch.  “Did you bring a beagle?”  Only Liz Lemon could fart like that and not make me like her any less.  And as sneaky as Jack was about choosing some hick comedian he knew Liz would hate, at least he defended her honor in the end.  I love that he attacked the doll rather than the ventriliquist.

Meanwhile Jenna and Tracy were as ridiculous as ever.  I know I’ve heard that “bad things come in three” way too many times, so I liked that they made fun of it with the celebrities dying.  Betty White’s hanging up and Jimmy Fallon’s coming at Tracy with an axe were classic.  This show always gets the best guest cameos.

Apparently the quest for a new cast member continues.  Where will they go next?

30 Rock is on NBC, Thursdays at 9:30 Pacific time.

Last night was something new, and I loved what they did. The top 20 dancers performed, in group numbers, in the their own styles, without risk of going home. And I actually thought it was a great way to start the show. When the first week arrives each season, I never feel like the dancers have had enough time to let their personalities show. And it seems so unfair to that first couple who goes home. At least this time they have 2 chances. And we’ve gotten to see what they’re best at, before they’re thrown into some rumba, disco, or Broadway routine.

So, if you missed last night, here’s a list of the top 20 dancers, by genre:
Hip Hop: Kevin, Russell, Legacy, *Brandon
Tap: Peter, Phillip, Bianca
Jazz: Ellenore, Mollee, Pauline
Ballroom: Ashleigh, Karen, Ryan
Contemporary: Ariana, Channing, Kathryn, Noelle, *Billy, Jakob, Nathan, Victor

*Just as I finished this post, I read that Billy has had to leave the competition due to illness, and Brandon (a hip hop dancer) will replace him in the top 20.

It’s hard to judge anything at this point, and I have certainly not picked my favorites. However, I do have a couple people who already bother me! Ashleigh- the wife of the ballroom couple. I never thought she was strong enough to make it to the top 20… and she seemed to slip in there by default. And I’m on the edge about the tappers, mostly Bianca. I think they’re great, but basically, they’re going to have to win votes by being great at the other genres. Like Nigel mentioned, they’ll never have the opportunity to dance tap with their partners… and I doubt a tapper will be able to “save” themselves by doing a tap routine.

Lastly, I just want to mention how young this group seems this season. Nine contestants are either 18 or 19. I think I may already miss my “seasoned” Melissa from this summer. I’m hopeful, as long as their dancing doesn’t keep reminding me how young they are.

So You Think You Can Dance season 6 airs tonight on Fox at 8pm PST, a 2-hour premiere. And voting will commence.

Written by Liz

So I know that the show is geared this way, but I don’t like any of the Mercy West kids either.  I did however love this episode.  I can’t help relating this show to my actual job working as a respiratory therapist.  For all those friends and family members who always ask me what working at a hospital is like, well this episode was pretty close.  This is pretty much what a busy night can be like, minus the spanish inquisition. (nobody ever expects it)  And as a non-doctor type I get a unique view (as I am usually standing right by assiting the doctors), to see how young, cocky, green, and sometimes stupid, interns are.  Most of the time anyway.

As far as the actual show goes, remember the time when we all sort of liked the chief? We’ll he’s turning into a super douche. Derick gave him a well deserved dose of his own medicine tonight.  They should have an Over the Top arm wrestling contest to see who the chief should be.  Sylvester Stallone could judge it. (too obsure of a reference?)  And what’s up with Izzie?  Were the rumors true?  Are both her and George gone from the show?  I’m sad for us and for Karev.  I love him.  I’d make out with him in the supply closet anytime. He and Christina should form a wonder twins super hero team. Thier powers could be being super mean and being super awesome!  Well that about covers it for me for this week.  I promise no slacking anymore.  Until next week.

Watching them search for the water urns in those desert sand dunes made my mouth water.  I couldn’t believe how tough and determined Brian was out there.  Brian and Erika have been growing on me a little bit the past few weeks, and tonight made me like them even more.  Brian’s karma theory and approach to helping other teams gave me warm fuzzies.  Really.  I liked watching those two have so much fun on the indoor ski slope, too.  They are such a pleasant contrast to Lance and Keri, who are clearly not team players and tonight paid the price for being that way.  I’m so happy I don’t have to watch them fight with each other next week, and I thought it was perfect that he screwed up more than she did tonight.  He’s been yelling at her since the first episode as if she’s the one making all the mistakes when in fact he’s the bigger idiot making the “awful decisions.”  Good riddance.

Poor Mika with the world’s tallest building.  I felt so bad for her and how scared she was that she’d have to jump off of it.  Next week looks like another tough challenge for her, however, with Canaan trying to push her down a water slide.  Yikes.

I did find it interesting that the two teams who were making an effort to help other teams, the Globetrotters and Brian/Erika, were the only two to find that ridiculously small snowman in those huge mounds of snow.  Maybe Brian’s onto something with karma.  Why did they all choose that challenge, though?  It sounded so much harder than building a snowman, I couldn’t believe so many teams chose it.  As for Meghan and Cheyne, they scored with the racetrack fast-forward and ended up being the first team to the pit stop.  That said, I thought Meghan’s tears were a little ridiculous, even is she does have control issues.  Come on, it’s not the Indie 500 or something.

I’m still sad that Zev and Justin are gone.  I would much rather be watching them race than the poker players who should have gone home last week.  Maria drives me crazy with all her mistakes and complaints.  Driving right on top of that spike tonight was par for the course with all the dumb stuff she has done.

Anyway, my favorites right now are the father and son team, Gary and Matt, and then probably Brian and Erika or the Globetrotters.

Amazing Race is on Sundays at 8pm on CBS.

I figured from the flashback intro–hilarious, by the way, that his dad would lock his eleven year old son in the trunk of a car to practice kicking out a tail light–that Shawn was going to be stuck in the trunk of a car, but I figured it would be illustrating a point in a case or something.  I certainly didn’t think HE would be the one kidnapped and shot while doing it!

Big phew that Gus was there to interpret the cryptic text message.  Even better that he was there in his train/plane/car (what IS on there anyway?) PJ’s.  “Son, are you wearing children’s pajamas?”  I loved it when that old guy called him out on it, and I loved it even more that Gus had no shame about having them on.  Gus really is like a little kid sometimes.  I think that’s why he’s so likable as a character, though.

Anyway, the “I love you” phonecall to Juliet was awesome.  Right up until he said Abigail’s name at the very end.  You know she would have said it back if it hadn’t been for that!  Poor Juliet, man.  I wish Shawn would just figure it out already. Alas, I’ll have to wait until January. . .
