Ducky Lives Near St. Elsewhere

I was out doing some Xmas shopping because seriously I'm addicted to Xmas and I love getting gifts for people. I'm a giver. It's what I do. HA! Anyhow, I was roaming around Newbury Comics and noticed that St. Elsewhere was released on DVD this week! For those of you under the age of 30 you probably don't remember St. Elsewhere but you hopefully have heard of it.

St. Elsewhere took place in Boston. Be be more specific, St. Elsewhere (St. Eligius Hospital on the show) is a block and a half from my house. I ride my bike by it every day on my way to work. It looks a little different than it did in the 80s when they would show exterior shots but its still St. Elsewhere. It was a medical drama that starred a bunch of young actors that went on to be huge in entertainment.

Howie Mandel (Deal or No Deal), Mark Harmon (NCIS), Ed Begley Jr. (RIP - Dea O'Dell from Veronica Mars and Sitwell from Arrested Development), David Morse (currently tormenting House on House), Tim Robbins (Mr. Susan Sarandon) and a little known actor named Denzel Washington.

20 YEAR OLD SPOILER ALERT



St. Elsewhere is most famous for its SERIES FINALE whammo in which the whole series took place imagined from a young autistic boy looking into a snow globe. The whole series was imagined through this childs eyes and in it his blue collar father was a surgeon saving lives and being a hero. It was quite the controversial ending and one I remember my Mother freaking out about!

Anyway, I was excited about it being on DVD as it was a huge part of my childhood so I thought I'd pass it on. If you like ER, Grey's Anatomy, House, or even Chicago Hope this show is worth a gander.

Idol's Chris Daughtry Disrobes

Okay so he doesn't just take it all off like I wish he would but Ellen does get Chris Daughtry to take off his shirt to show off his tattoo. He is after all My Season 5 American Idol so I had to post this.



Thanks to JustJared for posting the clip first.

Rob Thomas Spills Veronica Mars Plan

Thanks to GMMR for the heads up... Wanda over at E! (you may know her as Kristin) but to me she will always be Wanda - spoke to Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas today about where he plans on taking Season 3 now that The CW only gave them 20 episodes this year.

As we all know, the first mystery ended last night and in January Veronica will set her sights on finding out who killed Dean O'Dell and why. But when that storyline wraps in Episode 16 there's a problem with doing a 3rd mystery in just 4 episodes.

According to their interview:

Wanda: What’s the plan for the rest of the season?
Rob Thomas: Well, you’ll be the first person to hear this. There has been talk—more than talk—about dropping the whole big mystery idea after this middle mystery and to do all stand-alone episodes and sort of a combination of a few things. The network is behind it, and I am interested in heading in that direction.

To read the whole shebang, click here.

I personally think its because Rob really is concerned its the end of the Veronica Mars story and in case they are not coming back for a fourth season, he has 4 episodes to just work on resolving the personal relationships we've grown to love.

New Heroes T-Shirt Design - H.R.G.

Originally Hiro was my favorite of the heroes but lately I've been falling for the man with the throwback style... Claire's Father, Mr. Bennett. Otherwise known as H.R.G. (Horn Rimmed Glasses)




I've not seen this week's episode yet, for some reason my DVR decided to not record the whole episode and really seeing part of Six Months Ago didn't seem wise. I've downloaded the episode via iTunes (isn't the internet great) and plan on watching it tomorrow at lunch. I'll write my thoughts when I'm done.

Thanks to everyone that's purchased my Save The Cheerleader, Save The World design. I've had incredible feedback and people as far as Holland are wearing my design! God, I hope it goes with clogs!

Veronica Mars "Spit & Eggs" Review

*Update: My friends at The CW have informed me that last night's finale of Mystery 1 granted Veronica Mars their highest ratings ever in the key demo Adults 18-34 as well as season high's in all categories. Plus, last nights episode was the second highest rated the series has ever posted. Not too shabby.

So I was pretty harsh on my favorite show a day or two ago. You may have read it. I've had really high hopes for this season of Veronica Mars and have wanted it to succeed but I don't know if it's just me and where I'm at emotionally but this is just not doing it for me lately.

Tonight was the Fall finale of Veronica Mars' first mystery of the season. The Hearst College Rapist. It was a storyline that began back in Season 2 and one that gave Veronica quite the reputation before even enrolling.

All season, she's had to fight the frat boys at Pi Sig (especially the recently tighty-whitied Chip Diller), the femanazi's of the Lilith House, her hideously wigged TA, and the random folks that have thought she was a traitor, a conspirator, and in general just a nasty bitch.

Tonight marked the third time Veronica's been roofied in three years and the second time in three weeks. That's quite the record. It was also a lot of devious trouble to go through without intending to kill young Ms. Mars.

SPOILER ALERT:

The rapist and his accompice were idiots. Mercer and the Frak RA were working together in conjunction with Pi Sig parties (of which the Pi Sigs had no part) to rape the young Hearst coeds. Frak drove them home in the Safe Bus and gave Mercer their room number, master key and before you knew it, whammy... in the morning a freshly shorn head and a lifetime of mortifying memories.

My main issue with having Mercer be the rapist is that he and Frak RA really went through a lot of trouble to throw Veronica off their GHB'd scent. Did they ever have any real intention of either raping her or worse killing her? I mean, being drugged twice is pretty harsh if all you're trying to do is scare her or push her away. So why go through all the pomp and circumstance?

In the end their just two weenies about the get the living shit beat out of them by Logan (btw, his beating the police cruiser with a bat was incredibly funny) and then some jailtime. In my opinion what they did to Veronica was incredibly premeditated and with intent to kill. There needs to be ramifications for that. There needed to be a motive... Will we ever find out why Mercer did it or better, why Frak RA assisted? I heard Frak RA call Mercer "SIR" and I thought I heard Mercer call him "SLAVE" - what the frak is that all about? And how does a geeky RA that coins the catchphrase of the season "FRAK: The Profanity of the Future" do something so horrible? Bastard.



Oh and here's another thing that bothered me about Mercer being the big bad... Didn't we witness his revelatory scene prior to raping the girl before? Oh like maybe for the first time back in 1996 and then again in 1997? Does SCREAM 1 & 2 ring a bell? Mercer was majorly channeling Billy Loomis, Mrs. Loomis and Mickey. They just did it better and at least revealed a motive in the process of their unrealistic and uber-verbose tirade. Mercer revealed nothing. NOTHING. So what was the point?

Was this just one big exorcism for Veronica? Was this her way of getting over what Beaver did to her at Shelly Pomroy's party back in high school? Rape is a horrible hideous crime and one worth Veronica fighting but in the end I don't know that we learned anything or that it will have changed her in any way. So, Rob Thomas... what was the point?

Enough of my being down on a generally amazing show.

On to the goods!

I loved the Almost Famous-ish shot of Wallace and Mac at the frat party that then turned into a pretty scary and anxiety ridden scene of Veronica running through the Hearst halls all bloodied. Kristen Bell does scared really really well!

Dick mooning the Lilith celebratory float.

Logan: "He's a master-debator" So obvious, yet so perfect!

The LoVe breakup was harsh. It was much needed in my opinion as Veronica and Logan apart and struggling to get back together always makes for amazing television. KBell was unbelievable in her subtlety and pain. Jason Dohring played the wounded puppy role to perfection. I got mooshy at his "PAIN NOW" rationale.

Logan: "I'm here if you need anything... but you never need anything" AMAZING!

KBell's shower meltdown!

Piz's oblivious entrance after Veronica tells Wallace and Mac of the breakup.

Piz: "Hey gang, what's the word? is it avuncular?"

Dean O'Dell's storming Piz's radio show to announce he's over turning the abolishment of the greek system at Hearst. His quick entrance and exit were simply hysterical.

Dean O'Dell's choice of depressing music... Olivia Newton John's "Have You Never Been Mellow." I heart Olivia!

Veronica (to Dick and that whorey girlfriend of the TA): "Man, when I look at the two of you all I see is a petri-dish" Genius Veronica, simply genius!


Open Questions:
-Did Dean O'Dell kill his cheating wife or her boy toy Prof. Landry?
-Who shot Dean O'Dell dead?

I'm guessing both the wife and Landry are alive. As for Dead O'Dell, the obvious choices are his whore wife, Landry, any of the Lilith girls, the Cigar Man Mel (rich alum that persuaded him to re-admit the Fraternal Order at Hearst) or is it Richard Grieco?

Veronica Mars & Ducky Got Toe To Toe

Tomorrow night is the Season 3 "Mystery Arc 1" Finale. It's been a bumpy ride this season for Veronica Mars. I wouldn't call it the College Years slump but I would classify it as a slump none the less. To me it's seemed like a very disjointed season both character and mystery wise.

The season started on a high note. The Hearst Rapist we had already become acquainted with was up to his/her old tricks again but this time it hit close to home. We were introduced to the new kids on the block, Piz and Parker, as well as some school folks (The Lilith House kids, the Professors, the TA's, etc.). We were reunited with our old faves like Logan, Wallace, and Weevil while being promised more screentime for Lamb and Mac. Lamb's had ample screentime and his fill of assface moments but mysteriously Mac has been absent since Episode 2. Which means that even if she's in every episode from here on out she'll only have appeared in 14 episodes. The likelihood of that happening is pretty slim as well. Hell at this point, going into Episode 9, guest star Laura San Giacomo is more of a series regular than Tina Majorino.

So, really the only series regulars this season should have been Veronica, Logan, and Keith. Every other character has had some majorly small screentime.

Also small on screentime has been this season's first mystery. I don't know if I thought it would be a central motivator of the season or if I'm just been too picky but seriously... could there be less focus on the campus rapist? Yes, the past two episodes have really ramped up the game but up until that point there was too much focus on the mysteries of the week. Though some of the mysteries were fun or intersting they didn't advance the storyline along. Now, I guess we cannot take into account a storyline or character that has been introduced that we don't realize plays into the second mystery of the season but at this point it seems really inconsistent.

I've been very skeptical of the three mystery approach all along. When Rob Thomas ran the idea by a pack of bloggers last season I was really against it but apparently that's in part what got Veronica Mars a pick up for this season by The CW. They liked the user-friendly approach to a self-contained 3 mystery season.

I really enjoy the engrossing 22 episode mysteries previously played out on VM. I think Season 2 was very combersome but there was so much pay-off in the end. I loved seeing how the bus crash, mayor woody, thumper's death, and Kendall's storyline all kept us riveted throughout the fall and spring. Not to mention we were shocked to find out Beaver really had raped Veronica in Season 1. Hell, we thought that was put to rest...

This season I don't feel attached to any of the storylines yet. I could really care less who is raping or not raping these girls. Is it a male? Is it one of the Pi Sigs? Is it one of the Lilith girls? Is it Dick? I could kinda care less because they've not made me care. The last two episodes have pushed me much closer to caring but I don't think that the danger to Veronica has been severe enough. I was almost dying at the end of episode 7 when Veronica was drugged and that hoodied figure crept out of the parking lot but the danger didn't continue in episode 8. Sure she thought someone was following her in the library and that was tense but I'd like for Veronica to know that all of her meddling and all of her conniving has left her with many enemies and that they can get to her at any moment. We're almost at that point, but not quite yet.

I also don't feel any attachment to the newbies. Who is Parker? Who is Piz? Hell for that matter who is Veronica now that she's in college? Well aside from being an untrusting and smarmy joykill of late? I can't put my finger on it but Veronica is just not Veronica this season.

What do you think?

Kristen Bell's Got Bangs! VMars Advance Pics

Veronica's bangin'! Okay that sounds way dirtier than it's meant to. Veronica Mars done got herself some cutie patootie bangs for her Mystery Arc #1 Finale tomorrow night.

That's all. I just thought they were cute.

Tim Gunn - People's Sexiest Man?

So I'm way behind on this one but I just came across the video People Magazine features on its website in honor of Tim Gunn being named one of the Sexiest Men Alive. The video is part People photoshoot part interview and 100% amazing! Can you believe our lil Tim Gunn is named one of the sexiest? I'm dying. Good for him.



Carry On

Heroes | Chapter 10 "Six Months Ago" Preview

When did Monday's become Must See TV night? I've got HIMYM, Studio 60 and Heroes! Tonight we get a glimpse at the lives of our heroes six months ago. We'll be witness to each of the heroes as they discover their powers and/or learn to use their powers for good or for evil. In preparation for the night, I wanted to bring you a number of sources that got me geared up!

First, there is a great six minute long preview at Access Hollywood. Click on the picture of Hiro and Charlie below to watch.





TVGuide has a great interview with actor Jack Coleman who plays H.R.G. (Horn Rimmed Glasses aka Mr. Bennett aka Claire's Dad) and I've included some tidbits below but I will say that the man should be working PR for that show. He likes to talk and he doesn't come off as an actor at all! It's a great interview and a must read in preparation for tonight's 10th episode!

TV Guide: What can you say about the Nov. 27 episode, where the clock turns back six months?
Coleman: I read some blog that said, "I don't want to go back, I want to keep going forward," but I'm telling you, this episode's fantastic. Going back illuminates so much of what you've already seen and sets the stage for so much of what lies ahead. You learn a lot more about, for instance, where Niki's coming from and how her split came to be. There's a lot of light shed on how all these people came to be who they are. The episode right after that is the cliff-hanger, which I don't think would be nearly as strong without setting the table the way Episode 10 does.

TV Guide: What's revealed about H.R.G. in "Six Months Ago"?
Coleman: Quite a bit, not the least of which is the revelation of how Claire in a very profound way is revealed to him and how he decides to act on that.

How I Met Your Mother "Single Stamina"

Tonight is a real treat! The little show that could once again proves its got the goods to become a killer show that's around for a long time. Tonight we meet Barney's BLACK GAY brother (played by Wayne Brady - who I normally would like to have killed in a bus crash but he's really good in this).

Don't worry though folks, he's Barney through and through. Playa! And the best part of the whole show is we meet their Mother... Will & Grace's Megan Mullally!

Here's a clip that really speaks volumes... and I'm not talking about the decables of Barney and James' Mother's voice.

Heroes | Chapter Nine "Homecoming"

Homecoming

HRG: "Neutralize Him!"

Eden has some power y'all! She stopped Sylar dead in his tracks. "You don't want to hurt me... Sleep... Sleep..."

Who knew she had that much going on in that Pixie lil head of hers? She's got a very powerful ability there and I really hope that we learn more about her as the next chapter unfolds. Man, Sylar didn't stand a chance against HRG and his rogue band of goons.

HRG is quite incredible to watch. He is so menacing at times and yet so loving and caring at others. But seriously did anyone else think that when he heard from his wife that she let Claire go to Homecoming that he was going to reach down, grab that yapper of a dog and punt it across the house? No, just my sick twisted mind? Fine.

Claire is one daring girl. She really has become this great character with a no hesitance at all in the face of the unknown and uncertainty. Sure she took off for the hills when Sylar grabbed that twunt Jackie and sliced her head open but wouldn't you? And how does he slice their heads without using any weapon? That was jeepers creepers. The whole locker room scene was. I just wanted more of it!


I wanted more fighting, more action, more interaction with Sylar, Peter, Claire and HRG. I wanted a showdown because honestly that's what the preview made it out to be. They made this episode look like the big bang of all episodes but it was not so much. Not that I didn't love every second of it, it just wasn't a POW BAM BOOM kinda showdown.

What do we think of Claire's friend? Is he queer bait or does he like her? I really couldn't tell. I had a whole convo this afternoon with 2 people at work and none of us could come up with the answer. I always assumed he was gay but there was a moment last night that led me to believe he's in love with her. But then on the contrary there was the moment in her room where he said something about being happy is she liked being who she is. I coulda sworn that was the moment to confess to her, hell she did just ask you to Homecoming, but nothing. Confused. Is he Mormon? That would explain everything.

One last thing before I head on to the other stories this week - how genius was it that all the unpopular and freak kids voted for Claire in part because she damn near killed the high school's head jock? I love that! I love that there he is sitting there in a wheelchair and she walks by not even paying him any mind! She's such a HEATHER!

Oh one more... what is the count of Heroes that have Dr. Suresh's book? Peter and Claire so far. Did Hiro have it as well? Pretty soon, they will all cross paths and its all for one cause...

SAVE THE CHEERLEADER - SAVE THE WORLD

And Save the Cheerleader he did. Peter Petrelli and his bangs folks... round of applause. He's a very willing and wanting superhero folks. He traveled across the country to meet a Japanese man from the future, his friend and possibly to his death. He's so into what's happening to him that he honestly puts all hesitation aside and does what a superhero is supposed to do. Hiro and Peter are alike in this manner. It's charming.

Not so charming is his brother Nathan. What's his deal? He just trashes the painting - saying it's better for his brother. Sure he knows Peter is dead serious and that he could get killed but come on, Nathan obviously knows more than he's letting on. There is something in his background that allows him to turn off the need to be a superhero. Is he really evil as a lot of us out there have suspected?

I know who is evil. Jessica Sanders. When her name flashed across the screen I was like... WHO THE HELL IS JESSICA SANDERS... then it dawned on me. It's the nasty evil bitch side of Niki - and she knows how to use a gun like no one's business. Is there a third personality in there named Annie Oakley-Sanders. Damn.

The Jessica/DL/Micah storyline was so sparce I wish they would have just left it out of the episode. Sure it was great to see Micah show some distrust in his criminal father but really we didn't learn anything new or see anything spectacular. She sets her sights, she shoots and we never see her again. Well until next week.

We learned that Hiro went back 6 months in time and that he was in Charlie's life until he disappeared a few weeks ago. For almost 6 months he was with Charlie and living some life we've yet to see. It's great how everyone knows him and this is the alternate reality. Too bad Ando is stuck sitting in that damn coffee shop waiting for Hiro to show back up in present day.

Mohinder's storyline is confusing to me. I need more time with him/it.

Alas that brings us back to good ole Sylar. Well, from the brief shots we got of him last night I do at least know who the actor playing Sylar is. Well it's 24 alum, Zachary Quinto.

How I Met Your Mother "Robin Sparkles | Slap Bet"

Robin Sparkles "Let's Go To The Mall"
The smash sensation that swept the Canadian Malls is here in all its glory. Revel in Robin's teased hair, glossy lips, day glow color schemes, acid wash jeans and especially her dancing ability! Plus, as a special bonus feature, Robin cabbage patches with THE ROBOT!



This episode was just simply the best half hour of television this cast and these writers have produced in their lives! I spent most of the show rollin' - I was dying with laughter.

A while back when I was given the Robin Sparkles information, I was I think her 20th friend on MySpace but by this morning there were already 736 friends! Robin's popularity is sky rocketing. And why wouldn't it? Its not like Robin could have been friends with Jessica and Tori forever. We were destined to be BFFs. God, I wonder if Robin watched Degrassi? Did she love Joey Jeremiah as much as I?

In all honesty, this Robin Sparkles bit has completly changed my outlook on Robin's character. I have at times found her to be incredibly boring and kinda lame but after this incident I damn near find her the most intriguing one of the bunch! And on top of the video and song revelation, Robin had a great line last night...

Ted: "I can't believe you don't like the seven dwarves"
Robin: "Only Doc, he's creepy. He went to medical school - what's he doing living with six coal miners?"

Genius!

Oh and what about her "friend from Canada - who got married way too young." - dying again! I hope they continue that line of reference. It's Charles Glass, it's Heather Sinclair, it's the friend from canada..." I love it.

Lastly before I move on to the joy and genius of the SLAP BET...

Lily: "So just to be clear... you want everybody to go to the - the mall? Today?"

DYING!

Okay so I don't have a ton to say about SLAP BET other than it was laugh out loud funny and painful to watch. When they received the script for this week, they all must have just screamed with excitement as this is the episode that sets this series apart. It's the SOUP NAZI or the WE WERE ON A BREAK episode.

And to close, I soooooo want to be SLAP COMMISSIONER!

America's Next Top Model "See Ya Butch"

So I finally caught up with last week's America's Next Top Model and I have to say that I almost had a nervous breakdown watching! For months now I've been saying that the Top 3 girls are Melrose, a twin (pick one... Amanda), and Cari Dee so imagine the shock and horror I was feeling as the bottom two are revealed.

Now, why so worried you ask? Well, I originally had AJ as my girl to win this and after just one bad shoot (and a couple wins in her belt) she was sent packing. Next was Brooke. Sure, we knew that Reese Witherspoon-lite was never going to win ANTM Cycle 7 but did she deserve to go home before some of these girls? Hells to the No!

So there they are in the bottom two... Cari Dee and Butch Ass Jaeda! Up until last night, they've basically drooled over Cari Dee's work and damn are they a flip-floppin' fickle bunch. Sure as shit they turned on the blonde bombshell! She had a bad commercial. BAD. Like car dealers 7 year old daughter pimping your wares BAD but none the less... 1 bad commercial and they're ready to send the bitch a packing. Seriously Tyra? SERIOUSLY?

Over her.

Regardless, there is a point. The insecure beast Jaeda was sent home and Cari Dee survived another day! That made me a happy man.

Veronica Mars Scores 20 out of 22

So its old news now but I've been out of town and out of commission so its news to me! Veronica Mars has received a 20 episode order for this 2006-2007 television season over on The CW.

You have to ask why 20 and not 22 as is customary. Who can tell the reasons, but I'm happy that we got the extra 11 out of them for Season 3. As you know, the original order was just for 9 episodes, so this at least gives them almost a dozen extra hours of tale to spin.

How I Met Your Mother "Robin Sparkles"

Seriously this is the best thing I've ever seen in my life! You have no idea how much this reminds me of the joys of my youth! I too loved shopping and the mall... and cute boys. Oh and Debbie Gibson and Tiffany with a little Lisa Lisa thrown in for good measure. Kids Incorporated with Martika and Dance Party USA! Oh yeah baby, this was so my bag. I remember mall tours, I remember the hideous air brushing of the acid wash jean jacket. I remember the mall hair and mest tights. Did I mention I'm a male? Doesn't sound it. God I'm so gay sometimes.

Monday when I opened my TV Guide and saw a picture of Robin and her 80s secret I almost pissed myself. Today I got the official press release from CBS including some pics and a link to Robin's alter-ego's MySpace page. Robin at one time was the Canadian answer to Tiffany. She was a bubble gum pop princess that toured the Mall and sang about boys, like ya know...

God, it's already stuck in my damn head. It's the best song since 1988! "Let's Go To The Mall" really should be released as a cassingle.

I introduce ROBIN SPARKLES!


Please visit her MySpace and friend her. Please click on the Sparkles logo below for an exclusive clip!

I can't wait for Monday night!

Curious about Robin’s distaste for shopping malls, Barney does some digging and discovers her hidden past. When he unveils the embarrassing truth to the gang, they cannot believe what they see and hear Robin doing and are provided with endless hours of amusement from their new discovery about her teenage years.

Veronica Mars "Of Vice and Men"

Oh the punny pun pun titles, this week's was a great title for an okay episode. I'm honestly getting annoyed with the MOTW and the attachment these random folks get to Veronica. Plus, the things she's willing to do for little or no money, hello 'Ronnie - it's time to start having some higher standards.

Sure she holds the men in her life to the very highest of heights in the expectation department but is it really starting to ruin her life? When you've alienated everyone you love because you're high horse is comfortable and you want to ride it all day, bad things are bound to happen.

She pushed and pushed for Logan to reveal his secret alibi for Mercer. Did we want to know that Logan and Mercer were involved in a hotel fire in TJ that may or may not have mangled and or killed some guests? Not really, it didn't make me love Logan in that moment. Nor that bitch Mercer.

Keith continued his flirtation with the vivacious Harmony much to Veronica's disapproval. She even basically moved out because of it. Logan continues to be all secrets and lies pushing Veronica to ultimatum and blackmail time. Veronica, it doesn't look so good when your boyfriend discovers you've been shacking up in boxer shorts and a t-shirt with the competition, Mr. Piz.

It is however good to have high standards for yourself and I applauded Veronica's stand against Landry. I love that she's not afraid to confront him and that she's not afraid to turn down a great opportunity with the FBI based on feeling like a whore. Sure, in the end she may take him up on it but until then I'm glad the girls got some morals.

The moral-less Vinnie was back! I just love Vinnie. I was kind of mad he came to Keith and tried to blackmail him. That was not so nice. But hell, if the Fitzpatricks want to know where Kendall and the money are and you're the last one to see her alive do you really think Keith wasn't expecting this at some point?

Speaking of the Fitzpatrick's, how frakkin' scary was the scene in their bar? I loved that Veronica was afraid to set foot in there again. She's wisened up over the years. Too bad she was forced in. I was on the edge of my seat watching Liam pick Veronica up and swing her around the bar like a rag-doll. All I could think of was the scene in The Accused. I just wanted her to get the hell out! Scary but amazing scene.

Also scary and amazing was the ending of this week's episode. There's been a good amount of flak in the blogging community about how they've really pushed the Hearst rapist case to the backburner on most episodes but damn did they move that arc along last night. Veronica left her big gulp cup on the Food Court table as she complained about her food order and when she returned... whammo! Someone roofied her drink and it just went downhill from there.

Having been roofied and raped by Beaver in high school, she knew what was happening to her and tried like hell to get to safety before it completely knocked her out. On her way to her car we saw this scary ass hooded figure looming who then approached as she passed out and with gloved hand turned off her car alarm just seconds before Logan came to save the day. That rapist is one scary person trying to take Veronica out the way they ("they" as it could be a man or a woman and there could be more than one) did. It was a dark moment. Almost as dark as Weevil tying Thumper to a urinal and watching him implode.

So here's where I'm shady. Not slim shady but shady nonetheless... Her closing remarks had me confused. Was she saying that it's worse having someone you love do anything for you knowing that you don't love them nearly as much as you should? Is she saying that she realized she doesn't love Logan in an all consuming way? Is she realizing that there are limits to loving someone as twisted as Logan? Thoughts?

Supernatural "Crossroad Blues"

What's with "Crossroad" this week? Jericho has it as a title, now the Winchester boys are playing with the devil as well?

This Thursday, heads will spin, pea soup will spew, and a crucifix will end up in unholy places. Sorry that was the Linda Blair episode. Tomorrow night:

DEAN LEARNS THE PAINFUL TRUTH ABOUT HIS FATHER’S DEATH — When two highly successful professionals die after claiming to be haunted by hellhounds, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) investigate the local dive bar and discover it sits upon a site where a deal-making demon has been making people’s dreams come true in exchange for their souls. Dean summons the demon to exorcise it but is horrified after it reveals the painful truth about John’s death and tempts Dean by offering him the one thing he wants more than anything – his father.

Jericho "Crossroads"

With only 3 episodes left until the Fall Finale, Skeet and Co. are trying to secure those damn borders. I suggest getting Collie's... get it... border collie's - nevermind.

When Jericho receives a surprise visit from several seedy out-of-towners, the residents realize they need a plan to keep intruders out. Emotions run high when the townspeople meet to discuss ideas for securing their borders. One solution that strikes a nerve with several citizens involves a strategy that would isolate a large part of the town from the other.

Jericho airs Wednesday, November 15th at 9pm on CBS

Heroes | Chapter Eight: "Seven Minutes to Midnight"

So last week I completely blasted Matt Parkman's character and its even possible I took a dig at Greg Grunberg but as of this morning I take it all back! Well sorta. I really appreciated his character and his abilities while dealing with Radioactive Man. And acting wise, Grunberg hit it out of the park when RadioMan was telling his blackout story with the Haitian and he realized that he too had a missing gap of time and recalled briefly seeing the Haitian. Then the markings on their necks! It was intense and a great revealation!

I will however state that I don't get the whole cheating wife but I'm not gonna call her out business. Obv she knows he figured it out otherwise he wouldn't have punched Tom out last week but why stay with that cheating whore? He needs to kick it with the Red Headed FBI Agent, played by Stacy Haiduk (whom I've always loved since Kindred:The Embraced - I'm so lame).

Radioactive Man's life frakkin' sucks. I mean, you kill your wife and you basically can have no human contact at all. He's Rogue from X-Men only without the well tailored leather and skunk stripe. I loved that we finally got some payoff with another painting. Damn, do not make RadioMan angry. He ain't fooling!

I absoloved Charlie The Waitress and if her Sylaring isn't reversed I may have to start a campaign. She was so great! She was the perfect combo of sassy small town waitress and sexy smart siren! I loved her so when the blood started trickling down her forehead I was none too pleased.

Hiro, wanting to save Charlie, bent time again but so far has yet to return. He told Ando to count to 5 and he'd be back but hell by 5000 he was still MIA. We did however see Hiro again, this time in a photo on the bulletin board with Charlie and the Birthday Cake. What the hell's going on? What alternate reality is he creating... scary. I knew there would be ramifications of his continual time bending.

SAVE THE WAITRESS, SAVE THE WORLD!

SYLAR

Um, and while we're on it... Sylar is one creepy ass dude. He sat there in that diner all day watching Charlie and Hiro silently in the shadows sipping his coffee and possibly contemplating the Democratic victory the previous week - then SNAP! Without warning he's silently and stealthly slicing Charlie's noggin' open and stealing her brain! Damn, he's good.

You know who else is good, in a way... HRG! Claire's Dad (Horn Rimmed Glasses) is the Charles Xaviar of the bunch. He travels the globe searching for these "Heroes" and helps them so it seems realize their abilities and helps fine tune them. He and the Haitian might actually be doing some good in this world! Obviously he kidnapped Matt Parkman so he'd be able to realize his ability and take some control. It seems the same for Radioactive Man, Eden aka The Pixie, and originally Claire's birth Mother (though she offed herself it seems). In his eyes he's doing the right thing. So does that actually make him more the Magneto? Food for Thought.

I'm gonna admit something that I don't want you to laugh at... I got a little teary eyed when he was telling Isaac that Sylar would kill his daughter tomorrow night at Homecoming. There was this real sense of loss in his eyes and then when he sat there watching Claire so happy and excited as she made her death banner, sorry Homecoming banner, it really got to me. I'm so gay.

Next week looks unreal! I cannot wait to see what happens and why...

SPOILER ALERT














...these two are completely drenched in blood!

Meredith Grey Engaged... Sorta

Not that this is a big surprise or anything, but PEOPLE magazine is reporting that Grey's star Ellen "Townie" Pompeo and effeminate beau Chris Ivery are engaged.

Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo and her boyfriend, record producer Chris Ivery, are engaged, PEOPLE has confirmed.

Ivery proposed to Pompeo on Friday, her 37th birthday, after breakfast at home. "She was surprised and thrilled," the actress's rep tells PEOPLE. Ivery presented Pompeo with a 3.5-carat emerald-cut diamond in a platinum setting from jewelry designer Tacori.

Pompeo and Ivery, 37, both Boston-area natives, grew up minutes away from each other, but didn't meet until pals introduced them in Los Angeles in 2003. They didn't start dating right away. "We were friends for six months; then one night she just looked different to me," Ivery told PEOPLE in October.

Their relationship is laid-back. "We had a great day yesterday," Pompeo told PEOPLE. "We walked on the beach, then we came home, took a shower and went out for sushi. Then we laid on the couch with the dogs and watched TV."

Pompeo added, "We were six degrees our whole lives, so I feel like we were sort of meant to be. We'll get married eventually, secretly."

According to Pompeo's rep, no wedding date has been set.

GMMR Meets Jenna Fischer on Rachel Ray!

So I'm not going to go into how I was supposed to be meeting Jenna Fischer and all but you should go over to my girl GMMR's site for a full recap of her day at Rachel Ray!

TV Guide Tidbits

TVGuide is reporting some good news for Sci-Fi fans! Here are two stories in today's news that made me squee!

Battlestar Galactica Producer Inks Deal With THEM
Fox has tapped scribes David Eick (Battlestar Galactica) and John McNamara (Profit), and director Jonathan Mostow (Terminator 3), to create Them, an hourlong, alien-invasion-themed drama based on the graphic novel Six. Details are few, but the premise, per Variety, hinges on a sleeper cell of E.T. terrorists who take the form of humans

Mulder Says It's Showtime!
David Duchovny is finalizing a deal to tackle his first series-regular TV role since The X-Files, as the star (and exec producer) of an untitled Showtime drama pilot about a sex- and drug-addicted novelist trying to raise a kid on his own. (I like to think of it as "The Courtship of Eddie's Horny, Hopped-up Father.") As part of the deal, says Variety, Duchovny will also set up a comedy series — Yoga Man, fancied as Shampoo in a yoga studio — at the cabler.

Grey's Anatomy "Where The Boys Are"

I'd like to point out the moment that made me smile before I talk about anything else in last night's pretty good episode of Grey's Anatomy. The Return of Halfrek or as you non-Buffy folks may know her, "Heal With Love" Sydney! I love HWLS and her perky ways... especially when they are annoying our favorite Seattle Grace Docs.

Peer Counseling sounds seriously like the worst thing on Earth. Seriously. Add to that HWLS and her smothering over sensitive ways and damn no wonder Izzie would rather sift through Monopoly tainted poo than talk to her. I really did appreciate the payoff in the end though. I like that HWLS is really just a front because deep down she's a tortured and damaged soul just like the rest of us. It's hard to think of HWLS as Dark & Twisty but damnit, she might be!

A quick shout-out to Christina for her reference to HWLS: "Grinning Puppet Head"

I laughed and laughed and laughed.

I also enjoyed the semi-forced but still entertaining camping trip with the guys and the gays. I've always thought the addition of Joe and the Bar was a bit how do I say this... lame but sometimes it really works. I like the bar now as an alternate location but seriously, who goes to a bar that much? When do they have any free time at all and why wouldn't they want to be at home watching Heroes or something instead of hanging out in a bar with people they see everyday. Hell, they all practically live together, create a bar in the basement... I got off topic though. So, Joe and his partner are invited to go camping with the guys? Don't buy it. I'll go along with it, but I will never buy it.

I loved The Chief's discovery and reaction to they Gays. His complete lack of awareness was hysterical and led to pretty much the best line of the night.

"Man Love... it's beautiful. My cousin's gay. Brokeback Mountain and all that..."

I was rolling. He couldn't have eaten those words if he tried!

I loved the SLAP FIGHT! It was so funny to watch, and if I'm being completely honest here... kinda hot. God what I wouldn't give to see these two in a naked tickle fight. I'm sorry did I just type that out loud? A really genius scene that turned on a damn dime! Bam, next thing you know there's a gay getting his head bashed on some rocks. Just verifies what I've always known... the gays are not made for camping! Amen.


I also liked that George discovered Burke's hand trembles. His nervousness as Burke was stitching up Joe's lover was so tense to watch. You wanted George to say something yet he just stayed silent. Truly scary. I wonder how long George will let Burke play this charade? Not long I guess based on the previews for next week.

What else did I love? Oh yeah, that would be Addison and Callie or as I'm now calling them Thelma and Louise. Seriously, why have I never thought of these two as the best of friends? They're a wicked combo and every and all men should fear these two women! Nurturing Callie was a welcomed surprise. I'm glad her soft turn had the typical Shonda spin to it though. Case in point: Callie going to console Addison in the crapper.

Callie (to Addison through stall door): "Don't make me climb over this stall. I'll do it but I won't be happy 'cause I don't really know you too well."

The perfect balance of sass and sensitivity! Dr. Torres rocks!

The saddest moment of the night: That would be Alexandra Holden delivering her dead baby! It was the worst saddest moment ever. I was crying my eyes out at how horrible that sitch was. God, just cut me open and take it out of me... that's what I assumed would happen. NO SHE HAS TO DELIVER THE BABY. God it was hideously painful and both Alexandra Holden and the guy playing her husband were amazing to watch. Why doesn't Alexandra Holden get more gigs? I love her. God, ever since Drop Dead Gorgeous! Note to casting directors, get on it!

The moments I was happy came: Bailey's wrath! Christina's a tard for doing what she did and Bailey is almost going too easy on her, don't you think? I would have that girl parking cars before she set sights on a hospital ever again. And where does Christina get off. She's an intern! How dare she assume power and the right to do anything over a resident or doctor! I want and need consequences for Christina's actions.

The who cares moment: McSteamy hitting on yet another girl.

The other who cares moment: The sexual reassignment storyline. Seen it. Don't care.

The okay, I guess I'm ready moment: McDreamy reintroducing himself to Meredith. I didn't think I wanted it so soon yet the way he did it and the damn cuteness won me over as well! I liked that Meredith at least thought about being independent and sticking up for herself but seriously, who wouldn't cave to those eyes. McDreamy...

And finally, the worst moment of the night: "George, its your Dad" and the curtain reveals O'Malley's Father lying in the hospital. So convenient. So easy. Such a sweeps stunt that again, I saw sharks jump. Why did they need to ruin a completely good episode with that revelation. Shonda, I expect better of you.

Men In Tree's Follows Grey's

Does this mean I have to start watching Crazy Heche and her Alaskan Men in Trees? I curse the ABC gods for handing me yet another show to watch! I knew it was a show I'd like if given the chance, and til now I'd not been given the chance... but starting at the end of the month, Crazy Heche follows Philandering Meredith and Co.

Beginning November 30, ABC will air Men in Trees, which stars Anne Heche as a New York fish in Alaskan water, on Thursday's at 10 p.m. following Grey's Anatomy. The show will replace Six Degrees, a drama that has struggled in the ratings against ER and Shark.

Trees has averaged 7 million viewers in its Friday night 9 p.m. berth. The show is from former Sex and the City writer Jenny Bicks.

Six Degrees will return to the schedule in January. The show, which tells the tale of New Yorkers whose lives are intertwined in mystical ways, has struggled against a resurgent ER on NBC and a solid Shark on CBS.

The network will air a repeat of last week's Desperate Housewives in the spot tonight. ABC has made no announcement as to what will air in Trees vacated Friday slot or what it will air in the Thursday slot for the remainder of the November sweeps period.

The addition of well-reviewed Trees to Thursday ups the ante on the night even more. Grey's and CSI already duke it out in a clash of ratings titans, and NBC recently announced it would move the Tina Fey comedy 30 Rock to the night to form an all-comedy block reminiscent of its "must see TV" glory days.

ABC had originally planned to pair trees with fellow freshman Ugly Betty on Fridays, forming a "women's night" of TV. As the fall season approached, the network decided to move Betty to Thursday, where it has flourished.

Studio 60 Given Full Season!

It's a happy week! First we take over the House and Senate, now America is given a second chance at intelligent and poignant drama!

Despite all the cancellation rumors, Studio 60 has been given a full 22 episode order and I'm frakkin' excited! We'll get to see more Crazy Christians, and we'll be able to start tracking the baby bump on Amanda Peet.

Hazaa!

Jericho Gets Lost

Taking a page out of the 24 and now Lost playbook, CBS's Jericho will split its season in two allowing for more continuity and memory retention. When it returns its an all out repeat-free race to the finale.

Here's CBS's official press release on the exciting news!


"JERICHO" TO BE PRESENTED IN TWO DISTINCT SEASONS WITH NO REPEATS

CBS's Hit Freshman Drama Will End Its "Fall Season" With a Cliffhanger Finale on Nov. 29….

Britney Spears has filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Kevin Federline, PEOPLE

L.A. Superior Court spokesperson Pat Kelly tells PEOPLE, "Yes, it's confirmed. It was filed today, on the grounds of irreconcilable differences." TMZ.com was the first to report the filing.

Spears and Federline wed in September 2004 and have two sons, Sean Preston, 1, and Jayden James, who was born Sept. 12.

According legal documents filed on Tuesday in Los Angeles, Spears seeks custody of both boys, with Federline getting visitation rights.

Spears gives a separation date of Monday. She asks that each party pay their own legal fees and waives her right to spousal support. She also requests that certain assets, including "miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects," be confirmed as separate property.

She and Federline, 28, both spent the weekend in New York City, but Spears did not appear at any of the events promoting Federline's new CD, Playing with Fire.

Still, on Friday night at his record release party at the Manhattan hot spot Stereo, Federline shot down rumors of strife in his marriage, telling PEOPLE, "I don't waste any energy thinking about these things. I don't get caught up in it."

But the previous week, he admitted that, because of his touring schedule, "I'm not going to see my family as much as I want to, but I mean, those are the sacrifices you make as an artist." has confirmed.

Faith Hill Hates Carrie Underwood - CMA Smackdown

Is This The Story That Went Up A Hill And Came Down A Mountain?

Watch the video for yourself.



To me it almost looks like Faith Hill is joking but that face and her storming off doesn't really help her cause here.

The backstory: Faith Hill lost at last nights CMA's to American Idol winner Carrie Underwood for Female Vocalist of the Year.

In a statement released by the huffy singer, Hill claims: "The idea that I would act disrespectful towards a fellow musician is unimaginable to me, for this to become a focus of attention given the talent gathered is utterly ridiculous. Carrie is a talented and deserving Female Vocalist of The Year."

Spin Spin Spin

Heroes - Chaper 7 "Nothing to Hide"

Did our favorite new show go from Heroes to Zeroes in the matter of one episode? Last night's episode of the usually stellar Heroes was pretty much pointless and craptastic. Hands down the worst episode of this show so far (I know, it was only Episode 7) but for their first episode of sweeps, this is what they come up with?

Something smells and it ain't the dead, frozen, decapiated bodies we're used to, nor is it the charred flesh of that nurse's arm from Radioactive Man... it's the smell of bad writing and even worse acting. Oh yes I did!

I'm gonna get creamed for this, but seriously could the Greg Grunberg storyline be more pointless and could his power be less lame? And his acting? Maybe this serious cop is out of his element because there is not one moment that I found true in all the scenes from last nights show. Not the one with his wife when he realizes she's been messing around. Not the one with his cop buddy when he realizes he's the one that's been sctupping his wife. Not the hideously and almost unwatchable hospital scene where he's reading Cancer Girls last dying thoughts and telling them to Radioactive Man so he'll let the hostage nurse go. It was like a Lifetime movie, and not a good one! I'm talking one starring Haylie Duff bad.

It's not that I don't like Grunberg because I do. There's just something so bland, contrived, and senseless to his character and storyline. And Clea Duvall (who I normally adore) is about as believable an FBI agent as Ming Na was in Vanished. It's gross miscasting and the dialogue for the FBI scenes is written as well as that of Vanished... and by as well I mean as bad. Seriously painful.

Move Matt's storyline along already. Get him away from that whore of a wife and toward the other Heroes and then we'll talk. Right now, his storyline and character is expendible.

Okay so there was the whole Radioactive Man subplot but I just don't get that yet. Is he responsible for blowing up NYC? Is he the bomb that triggers the explosion? Did anyone else think he looked like Isaac?

So why focus so much on the Cop when we have such juicy dish going on in Odessa, TX? Claire's brother finds the tape of Claire trying to kill herself any way possible (including a never before seen shot of her getting hit by a car and flying through the windshield!!!!) and she must do everything in her powers to convince him to not tell their parents. Man, it was a great mix of urgency played out in an age appropriate manner. It was typical brother/sister hijinks with much greater consequence. When she turned on the adoption, they won't love me tears I couldn't tell if that was a ploy or if it was the real deal. Regardless, it was amazing. As was the "YouTube's free, you idiot" line!

See, that's a very compelling and immediate storyline to follow yet there was barely enough screentime allotted. More Cheerleader damnit!

What else was good? Micah has powers as well. How could he not? With a split personality Mom and a wall walking Dad we knew Micah had to be blessed with something. Not only can he manipulate technology, the boy can lie like the Devil! He don't care. I love that he also knew he wasn't speaking to his true Mother. Great exchange.

Nathan's wife (played by Rena Sofer) is in a wheelchair and we know that Nathan had something to do with it but what is still the big mystery. Um, and what about her demanding a reason for her to want to walk again? She's so onto him. He's busted big time for the affair in Vegas. She may be crippled but she ain't simple. I dont know where that line came from or why it should make sense, it's close to a line in my 6th grade play that Sue Eyer had to say but really it has no relevance to Heroes or that wife of Nathan's. Wow, long tirade.

What else? Hiro saved the day again and was just super cute but nothing big there either.

Um, and lastly... Peter played with his hair and Simone's Dad died.

Next week looks killer though! I can't wait to see what goes down. What did you think? Love, hate, indifferent? Have our Heroes fallen already?

Here it is folks, KAl on Oprah looking so much better. Girl done lost 75 pounds (that's a backstreet boy) and wanted to strut her stuff for the cameras. Here is her grand entrance in a bikini!

Veronica Mars has teamed up with Veoh and created its own Veoh exclusive clips section on the popular video site.

And remember to check out veoh for more exclusive VM clips in the weeks to come. And I beg of you to watch Veronica Mars tonight at 9pm on The CW as this may be the make or break it week as rumor has it next week might be the announcement of a full season pick-up. Last week's numbers were so low, I can only hope y'all were out trick-or-treating instead of watching Veronica try to scrub the acne off Weevil's fat face.

Ducky's Blogger Buddy TVFan Hates Meredith Grey and Let's All Commuters Know About It!

Congrats to Hilary from Passtheremote (you may also know her as TVFan) who I met at the Veronica Mars Bloggers Press Day. She's a great journalist and blogger - she contributed to the TV Bloggers Top 5 Picks and today she's featured in a story about the hatred of Meredith Grey! Way to go Hil! Here's the article that appears in today's Metro (NYC,Boston,Philly)...

Last Thursday, 21 million viewers tuned in to “Grey’s Anatomy,” the most talked about show on television. Whitney Matheson was not one of them.

“I watched a few episodes of ‘Grey’s’ this season, but at some point I realized I just didn’t care about these characters anymore,” Matheson, editor of USA Today’s Pop Candy blog, says. “I know there are plenty of viewers who can sympathize with Meredith Grey’s love life and work situation, but I’m not one of them — in fact, I can’t really identify with any of the people on the show.”

It may sound like blasphemy, but despite what your McDreamy-dreaming mom (or ABC) might have you believe, there is a small but adamant core of “Grey’s” haters out there. We’re not talking about scorned fans of “The O.C.,” angry at the time slot competition — these are dedicated TV junkies who gave “Grey’s Anatomy” a shot and have since formed debate-worthy arguments against the hottest thing in scrubs since “Scrubs.” Their number one target: Meredith Grey.

“I think [Meredith] is the most unlikable lead character on any current show,” Hilary Hall, editor of PassTheRemote.net, says. “She’s conniving, whiny and too self-absorbed. I find flawed characters to be fascinating, but Meredith has just too many for me to enjoy her character.”

Matheson might be drawn back if there was less Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo, on “Grey’s.”

“I realize the show is supposed to be focused on her,” Matheson says. “But first let’s just admit that people are going to gripe about any female star of a TV show — look at the torture Ally McBeal went through.... But Meredith Grey isn’t out to be the viewer’s best friend,” she continues. “Most people I know who love the show tell me she’s not their favorite of the ‘Grey’s’ gang, but they’re still pulling for her anyway.”

As for the rest of the McDoctors and their relationship woes, critics argue the love triangles get a little too “Laguna Beach” for a hospital drama.

“I know ‘Grey’s’ is supposed to be soapy, but all of the boy-girl drama gets so exhausting that after about 20 minutes I feel like I need a nap,” Matheson says. “Honestly, one thing that turns me off about this show is a tendency for some characters to revert to weird, sixth-grade attitudes about romantic relationships. Maturity may not be as witty, but it would be refreshing.”

The defense:
Victor Balta, a TV critic who writes weekly “Grey’s Anatomy” recaps for MSNBC.com, can understand viewers’ frustrations with the series’ overly dramatic turmoil of the non-romantic kind. “I think the show has gone over the top at times,” he says, referring to hospital cases that included a bomb inside a patient (pictured above) and a woman’s IUD caught on her ex-husband’s genital piercing. “I know it turned some people off. It’s fun to watch, but not necessarily all that believable, so the thing fans have to hope for is that the writers are realizing this, and that they’re doing these things with a wink,” he explains.

Veronica Mars "Hi, Infidelity"

VERONICA IS ACCUSED OF CHEATING? Say it ain't so! Also, Harmony is back for episode 2 of her 3 episode arc. I love Enrico and Laura together... why just 3 eps?

Veronica (Kristen Bell) is accused of plagiarizing her paper for Professor Landry’s (guest star Patrick Fabian, “Joan of Arcadia”) criminology class. In trying to clear herself, she discovers that her mentor is not who she thought he was. Wallace (Percy Daggs III) is pardoned by Dean O’Dell (guest star Ed Begley, Jr., “Arrested Development”) for cheating on his exam, but makes a decision that could affect his college career. Piz (Chris Lowell) invites Veronica to a night of bowling and she decides to bring Logan (Jason Dohring) and Parker (Julie Gonzalo), unaware Piz wanted the evening to be more of a date.

Now, where the hell is MAC? We got Piz and Parker she has to be putzing around somewhere right? Let's hope so.

Supernatural "The Usual Suspects"

You know I love me some Winchesters and lately I'm loving JPad even more for his Anti-Fur ads! Here's some content and photo's from this upcoming week's episode entitled "The Usual Suspects" [*edited from original post because wrong title was given in press release]. And in case you were wondering, yes that is Linda Blair from The Exorcist, not looking too shabby.

Pics do contain some mild spoiler information but damn that cast is hot on Sam.

THE WINCHESTER MEN BATTLE THE DEMON AFTER A LIFE-THREATENING ACCIDENT — Sam (Jared Padalecki), Dean (Jensen Ackles) and John (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) were left for dead after the Demon plowed a semi into the Impala. Now, one of the Winchesters hovers between life and death as the surviving family must face an old and powerful adversary. Eric Kripke wrote the episode directed by Kim Manners (#201).
