Am in the middle of a giant Battlestar Galactica marathon. I've spent the last few days racing through the first two season and now I'm in the middle of the first episode of the third and I just can't get into it. I'm sure I only need some time, that in a few episodes I'll be just as absorbed as I was during the last two season, but so much changed at the end of the second season that I'm having trouble reconciling everything now with what I know from before. If that makes any sense.

Plus, I'm a total Apollo/Starbuck shipper and them being on the outs is unpleasant. Add to that the fact that we haven't had much Roslin/Adama interaction and I'm doubly depressed.

Sigh. And this week's slew of TV shows weren't much better. Ok, House was awesome (except for Cameron's hair; that was just baaaaaad), but Bones was disappointing, again. Gossip Girl was better than last week's, but still not as good as I want it to be; hopefully it's beginning to hit its stride and will only improve. Private Practice and Dirty Sexy money were both enjoyable while Grey's was fine but not great. The only really great episode this week was The Office's which, with the return of Ryan, was brilliant. Oh, Office, I'm so glad to love you.

Just finished a marathon of yesterday's Gossip Girl, Dirty Sexy Money and Private Practice. And found myself liking all of them more that I expected. GG improved from its pilot episode, Dirty Sexy Money was funny and the slash potential is crazy awesome, plus omg!Casey McCall and Creepy Russian Guy from the first season of The Closer. And despite moaning about Private Practice all through last year and feeling rather ambivalent towards it all summer, I really enjoyed the pilot. And dancing Addison is hot. And her speech at the end? So so good. Let's hope tonight's Grey's keeps up with the good times.

Just as a PS - What was with the 38 minute runtime on GG? And the first three minutes of that were all recap. I mean seriously, old episodes of The X-Files clock in at a solid 44 minutes and pretty much every other show on TV today can at least manage 41-42 minutes. 38? That's gotta improve. Over the course of an entire season that adds up to more than an entire episode of runtime. Definitely will not be watching it on the air if I have to sit through 22 minutes of commercials. All hail BitTorrent!
