The West Wing is about to get crowded
Most notably, Rob Lowe will return as Sam Seaborn for the final two episodes. I know there had been a lot of speculation about Lowe's return, but now it's happening. Also set to reprise their roles:
* Mary-Louise Parker (Amy Gardner)
* Anna Deavere Smith (Nancy McNally)
* Emily Proctor (Ainsley Hayes)
* Marlee Matlin (Joey Lucas)
* Gary Cole (VP Bob Russell)
* Tim Matheson (Ex-VP John Hoynes)
* Timothy Busfield (Danny Concanon)
* Annabeth Gish (Elizabeth Bartlet Westin)
Squee! SQUEE! More squee! As if the J/D stuff wasn't enough incentive--I am SO gonna be tuning in for the rest of the season. I'm not gonna like it, I'm sure, but I'll be glued to the TV nonetheless.
Last night's Gilmore Girls was just plain lame. Not stab-myself-in-the-eye hateful like a Daniel Palladino episode, just kinda boring. I don't care about Christopher and Gigi and whether or not she's spoiled. And what was even the point of Rory's panel? To bore us to tears? To fill time? And Rory needs to grow the fuck up. You don't cut someone out of your life, refuse to talk to them for weeks and then try to claim that you weren't officially broken up and they should have stayed faithful to you. Unless you're a complete tool, that is. And Lane and Zack? I have nothing (much) against Zach, but if the writers seriously expect us to accept that they're gonna get engaged out of the blue like that after not talking for months, they have obviously lost all grip on reality. Why is it that none of the characters on this show seem to have the ability to actually talk and work through problems? They all just run away, shut down, and then miraculously make up whenever sweeps rolls around. What. Ever.
There were, however three highlights that saved it from being a complete waste of an hour:
1. Sebastian Bach singing "Hollaback Girl" - I nearly peed myself I was laughing so hard.
2. Danny Strong a) drunk and b) wearing Rory's coat. Awesome.
3. Luke's handling of Lane after the proposal. So cute. And I needed some Cute!Luke after the last hideous episode.
Rumors continue to circulate around the internets about Arrested Development and Showtime, but STILL nothing official or even vaguely reliable sounding. Gah. Give me something, people!

I wonder if Special Agent Gina Toscano can be borrowed from the Las Vegas Crime Lab to push a nosy reporter into a fridge, just for nostalgia's sake.
I'm intrigued to see what they do with the returnees, though--I haven't read what they intend to do about John Spencer's (tragic) absence, but if they have Leo die, could that be where Ainsley comes in? I always loved their relationship (not 'ship! Just relationship, darn it. ;)
For real...massively awesome. Just. Heh. Yeah.
They've already filmed Leo's funeral, because Brad Whitford was talking about how weird it was because he was a pallbearer at John's funeral and then Josh was a pallbearer at Leo's funeral. *sob*
Beat that with a stick!
(Sus, now you have to use your OTP icon.)
I haven't seen the kissing commercial yet, but damned if I'm not super excited about it!
Your 3 Gilmore Girls moments were my top 3 of the night too. Honor's friends were SO LAME. Worst exposition ever. Though I'm pretty sure that one of them was at Rory's debutante ball and was drunk then too. I thought Lane & Zach were quite cute, and they'll probably be married on June 3rd, but yeah, not appropriate. Like, maybe talk a little bit and reconcile before you propose.
I watched so much of those Olympics and didn't see it until the very last day. I almost fell off the couch. Once upon a time I said that I didn't need to see this, but turns out that I'm pretty excited about it. Who knew?
I know! That was awesome. I found it particularly funny since I've been to a bat mitzvah and that's what it's like. The only thing worth watching on GG currently (In my opinion) is the Lane-Band stuff. I absolutely cannot stand April! It’s like Amy Sherman Palladino is trying to reincarnate a younger, more annoying version of Rory.
Yay for all the old school WW people returning!
I keep telling myself to watch but I haven't managed to yet. I think there will be pain involved. I was kinda hoping, with the Leo storyline, they might have Mallory around. :/
I know. ::sniff:: It's almost like an episode thread on testy's boards.
