ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME????? Garcia got shot. Garcia who sits in a giant computer room, and were she a guy, be doin' time for sexual harassment.
So, I'm not going to retell the gruesomeness that was this weeks episode. Just what we've learned from it.
1. Guys who were sexually abused by priests, don't really like priests.
2. Don't eat meat you didn't buy yourself.
So, back to Garcia. First time we see her this episode she walks in to a coffee shop, and asks for her usual. To spare you some grief, I'll not the obvious foreshadowing. Her usual, setting us up to say DUH, at the end of this episode. Anyway, she's getting her coffee and some "smokin' hot" (her words honey,) guy is cursing his laptop. Garcia being Garcia, steps in and fixes is hasta pronto. He gives her his card and comments that they should do lunch, she writes down her number and off she goes.
Back at the office, the target of most, if not all of her sexual harassment says good morning to her. She says "morning" and NOTHING else. He stops her and gives her the third degree. She explains some guy picked her up, something that never happens. People have to get to know her before they ask her out. Morgan tells her she should trust her gut, and if her gut says no, she should drop it.
The team is off to Florida to rid the world of evil. Meanwhile, computer coffee shop guy calls Garcia and gets her usual witty banter, he asks to change the "lunch" to "dinner", she starts coughing and says she's not feeling well, she'll let him know. Hanging up and discovering that the most recent serial killer has at least ten victims. She calls Morgan and has what to most of us would be a normal conversation. Morgan calls her on it and she gets pissed that even if he wouldn't cross a crowded room to ask her out someone else might. Garcia then informs Morgan that he sucks and hangs up on him. WHAT?
So, Garcia goes out with coffee shop dude and the big goodbye moment is the goin' in for a kiss that turns out to really be a hug. Then he turns and says "Garcia, I've been waiting all night to do this" or something equally sappy, and shoots her.
Another, can't believe I didn't catch that, moment, he calls her Garcia.
I have no comment. I'm heartbroken. Wish CBS would pay better, or stars would realize that they have a great part and great writers and stay put. You probably won't be any good in the movies. Sorry, but let's take a trip down memory lane. Rob Morrow. David Carusso. The guy who played Speedle. Mandy Patinkin is the exception, but he's really awesome, and ADD apparently because he's gone again. When your banned from tv clause runs out, this show will be gone, and no one will remember you. So please don't die Garcia.
DVR's
The DVR has got to be the best tv related invention ever. Even more so than the remote control. I could live without a remote, but could never watch all of this tv without my beloved digital video recorder.
We got our DVR through our cable provider, I'm so glad we did, because we've already burned out two of them. Guess what, they bring you another one for free, the rental fee is about the same as the monthly service on the Tivo, but no hardware to buy.
My only gripe about the DVR is not about the DVR itself, it's about the networks. They've evolved and now they start and end their programs at odd times. They know that DVR's are not capable of recording more than two programs at a time. This becomes a problem when you are recording two show at 8:00 and a third show starts at 8:59. It shuts them all down. So, someone come up with something to fix this, or maybe I'll watch less tv.

Life
I LOVE this show. I love the crazy eccentric multimillionaire trying to solve the crime that had him imprisoned for twelve years. I love his Zen-ness. Although I'm very decidedly Christian, I love the round about thinking he does.
I love the quirky accountant/fellow felon who is handling all of this mystery money, I love that the accountant is in love with the dad's trophy fiance' I just love it.
My favorite eccentric millionaire moments to date are the purchase of the orange grove, he likes fruit, not having access to it for twelve years would probably do that for you. I also love the "let's buy a solar farm." Loving the lack of furniture, and the closet full of clues.
Wondering who on the board set him up, wondering if the person who set him up is even on the board.

The Unit 11/13/07
Well, Hector is still dead, no tv salvation to bring him back from the dead. Betty Blue will pull through thanks to the fine field work that Hector did before he died.
Grey was sent stateside to heal, while Brown and Dirtdiver stayed behind to witness the autopsy of Hector and deprogram the journalist who was Stockholmed into thinking that we were the bad guys.
Mrs. Brown admitted to the Army Chaplain, that she prayed that if someone had to die, she hoped it would be someone other than her husband, and now was feeling guilty that she had prayed for the death of a friend.
Dirtdiver got the bullet that killed Hector, he brought it home to the Colonel who put it in a box with hundreds of other fragmented bullets.
Dirtdiver then went home, despite his banishment from, looking for his dress uniform. He and Tiffy, had some implied make up sex.
The whole thing ended at Hector's memorial service, they did roll call and everyone responded but Williams. It was sad.
Wondering who'll they replace Hector with. Should be interesting. Wondering if Grey will now get with Annie, no one can console a girlfriend like the best friend. Still thinking the Colonel had Hector killed. Probably be heading to reruns soon if that strike doesn't end.

The Big Bang Theory 11/5/07
It's Beauty and the Geek, with writers. Although you will never be able to write a funnier scene than ten guys who still think booty is a pirates loot. And the guy who finished it off with, "Rap makes a lot more sense to me now." You just can't make that stuff up.
Penny, the beauty across the hall, is hiding from her house guest in Leonard and Sheldon's apartment. When the russian speaking geek finds out that said house guest will sleep with anyone he is over in Penny's apartment faster that you The Flash character they all wanted to be for Halloween.
This leaves the geeks with a problem. No fourth for their Halo night. Penny agrees to sit in, Sheldon says that Leonard will have to take her. Exactly what Leonard wants. Turns out that Penny is a Halo prodigy and kicks Sheldon's patooty.
At the end of the evening, Penny tries to go home and go to bed, only to find in occupied. Leonard offers her the couch, or his bed. She chooses couch and Sheldon then criticizes her choice for sleeping with her head on the door side of the couch.
Funnyness ensues, the three geeks cannot function without their fourth. Sheldon proposes the all march over to his house and make him choose between sex with a model or them.
So, this is replacing How I Met Your Mother as my first choice for Monday night comedy. I'm glad geeks know how to write. Hopefully the writers strike will be resolved soon and we can all get back to laughing.

The Biggest Loser
Good bye Amy. We won't miss you. At elimination she was crying, saying she felt like she'd been stabbed in the back.
"Hello, Kettle, this is Pot, you're black."
Looking forward to next weeks make overs, Kae looks smokin' hot. Look out world.
Anyway, I'm sure that Amy was probably edited to look like the (*()&@ that she was, and I'm happy that she's lost 100 pounds. Her final sentiment to us was that Karma is a bitch, yes it is and she just kicked your tiny little booty.

CSI and Without a Trace
This was the one where they piggybacked with Without A Trace. Grissom and Malone spent the whole night trying to prove who was better. I vote Grissom. I like Malone and all, but I like him on Without a Trace. You can not have two leaders, never works.
Anyway, it starts out with a dead kid, Grissom gets on scene to find out that the team has been processing for six hours, but no one has cleared the body. Turns out the boy had an FBI hold on him.
Malone shows up via helicopter to explain that he thinks this may be a missing boy from New York from six years ago. Turns out it's not, but that doesn't stop them from working the case together.
The murderer had left a print and it was the same print found at the kidnapping six years ago. He thought it was his bio son, when he found out otherwise he killed him and buried him in the Arizona desert.
Another similar looking kid gets kidnapped near Vegas, they find out this one is the biological kid of the kidnapper, and they escape to, where else, New York.
Now on WaT, they are looking for the current kidnap victim. They go to the kidnappers old apartment where they find a dead guy in the closet. Kidnapper thinks he's home. They run the phones and find that the kidnapper called a hooker, they find her and she was only hired to make the kid a sandwich.
They link the kidnapper to several murders around the country, find his sister who happens to be wearing all of the dead ladies jewelry. She can't believe that her brother would do such a thing.
They use her to lure the kidnapper to the train yard, he kills himself, but where is the kid? They worry, worry, he's ran to the train yards, the only place his dad/kidnapper felt safe.
Good Grissom can go back to Vegas to be with his lovely, now fiance, Sarah. Then we see on the "Next week on CSI" that Sarah is leaving. Don't tease us, I'll be so mad if this is another "teaching assignment" that they torture us with for a week. I'll be even more upset if they actually have her leave, but hey, she's always had relationship issues.

Journeyman 11/12/07
Dan gets sucked into a 1974 key party with a 2004 bottle of wine, a very expensive one he bought for Kate's birthday. Apparently the most exciting thing at the key party was the live news on Nixon. The hosts of the key party had a surprise visit from their college aged daughter, Abby, who sees her mom hooking up with one of the neighbors, this throws the daughter into a tailspin. When Dan returns to 2007 he "googles" her and finds that she's been missing for 30 years.
(side note about key parties for those of you who don't want too much tv. Key parties happened in the 70's where the guys would put their keys in a bowl at the beginning of the party and the girls would go pick keys and go home with whomever they belonged to.)
We see Kate at a bar with her friends who inform her that the workplace is where most husbands stray, she defends Dan and says they are staying in for a nice dinner that he's cooking.
Dan wakes up on a beach in 1974, he wakes up just in time to see the daughter with a flat tire, about to get help from the man they believe to have abducted her. Dan steps in and the truck drives off. Discovering she has no spare, Abby decides to hitch it. Up drive some hippies and she drives off with them.
When Dan returns and "googles" her again, he cannot find any information on her, so he calls her parents only to find that she's no longer missing, she's been in prison for 30 years.
Jack is trying to backtrack his statement to the FBI, but they proceed with a warrant to search Dan and Kate's house. Dan is leaving for work and protesting that his bag is separate from the warrant, not knowing Kate had taken the money and put it in his jacket already, they search the bag and let him go. As soon as he walks out the door he finds himself in a 1974 diner with Livia. Abby's hippie friends are next to them, and they are now calling her Angela. They begin a conversation with the hippies and explain that they are time travelers from 2007. The hippies think that it's soo cool. On their way out Angela grabs some money off of a table and Dan prevents the diner owner from shooting her.
While cleaning up from the FBI search Kate finds a picture of Livia that looks like it's from the 40's. She shares this information with Dan, who is at work. They run into Dan's boss who wants to know why the FBI is poking around. Dan tells Kate he's "got to go" but the boss won't let him slip away, so Kate distracts the boss and Dan vanishes back to a 1974 liquor store that is being robbed. Angela has got a shotgun pointed at Dan, Livia and Dan have the conversation about when she is. Turns out Livia travels to the future, Dan travels to the past. She got stuck in the 80's and 90's where they originally met. Oh yeah, we're here to prevent Abby from going to prison. Abby it's time to leave, her boyfriend is mad, Dan throws around some hijacking money and Abby leaves out the back door. We hear sirens approaching, and Dan and Livia make a run for it while the other hippies clean out the register. Dan returns to 2007 and feels compelled to buy a paper. Abby Armstrong is a politician and quite a successful one at that.
Jack gets called back to the FBI. He appears clean but some evidence of his had been tampered with. Remembering a couple of episodes ago when Jack took a statement from a 1995 cabbie who was paid in 2004 money, the suspect never caught but had the physical description of Dan.
Jack goes to Dan and Kate's to talk, Dan yells at Jack saying "you didn't believe me when I told you so get out." Jack leaves to drink alone, and spends an overly faded 20, from 2004. Dan tells Kate about all the new things he's learned from Livia about time travel.
The professor who's an expert on Tachyons, the reason they can time travel, warns Dan not to tell anyone about the "book" he's writing. Telling Dan the FBI took all of his research to fight terrorism. Making us all wonder how the professor is involved in all of this and wondering how he affected Livia in 1948.

Desperate Housewives
Ok, so I didn't mean that Gaby and Carlos should kill Victor. Accidentally of course. That writer's strike had best be handled quickly, I don't know if I can go back to Carlos and Edie. Why didn't she die?
You would think that I want all people dead. That is not true. These are not real people, they are analogies and stereotypes, that is what I'd like to die.
Bree, Bree, Bree. Getting "your" son circumcised without your husband's knowledge and against his expressed wishes. If you can remember your own circumcision you should have some say in whether or not your son has one. All was forgiven once Bree said she truly saw Orson as the babies father and that he had every right to decide everything regarding their child, (now that the unsightly foreskin is gone),
Who's tired of Mike and Susan? How long until she has a miscarriage? There is a fine line between funny neurotic and painful storyline, that line has been crossed.
The Scavo family is yawn without the eccentric babysitter. Let's forget about our mother issues and get back to juggling a family business and a family.
Maybe we should do a spin off on Gaby and Carlos and their life on the lam with $10,000,000 I would watch that. I don't know how much more of Wisteria Lane I can handle.
You might wonder what I think of the the new neighbor lady, I don't, that's why I didn't mention her.

Commercials
What would tv be without commercials. My current favorite is for the Chevy Malibu. Finally a car that cannot be ignored. The two I've seen are hilarious. In one, a car (not a Malibu) is parked outside of a bank, the bank surrounded by cops, the bad guys are in the car but the police keep telling them to come out of the bank. The bad guys realize that they have an invisibility cloak and drive off.
The second commercial we see a jogger run smack into the side of a car (again, not the Malibu). She falls down and immediately runs into the car again. She repeatedly runs into the car and falls down while the narrator promises that the Malibu cannot be ignored.
Love it.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Ty showed a video of a family who had lost hope. They were desperate. The designers arrived at the house and Ty announced their arrival through a bullhorn. The family came running out of the house screaming and crying. The weight of their world lifted.
I cried.
They walked through the house and showed just how bad it can get. Life had dealt this family some blows, but despite their situation they were making their world a better place for others.
They stuffed the family into a limo, and started breaking things.
I wished I were there.
The "Braveheart" scene was next, an army of builders comes marching down the street, tools raised and screaming. The head builder said some nice words about what a privilege it is to be a part of this.
I wished I were there.
They build a house, go to Sears, show ten second shots of all the products they are putting in the house. They get the keys and move in the furniture.
Ty is out in the street working the crowd. The family comes home, the say,
"Bus driver, MOVE THAT BUS", the bus moves the family freaks.
I cry again.
Much like the directions on the bottle of shampoo. Watch. Repeat weekly. It's the same show every week and yet I cannot get enough of it. I love crazy Ty. I pray Ed doesn't do any more harm to himself. I wonder how the family is going to afford to keep the lights on. I hope that they pick families that will truly use this opportunity as a stepping stone.
Spoiler alert: Next episode is the 100th. Big reunion time. I think I'm going to cry.

Funny News
There were three men buying drugs from two men. Two of the buyers stole the drugs and ran off. The third was then subjected to cookie torture, where the dealers took freshly baked cookies and but them on the back of their customer. The unlucky customer received severe burns on his back and shoulders. This is according to the investigating officer...Sgt Burns.
Bionic Woman
Who doesn't want to be Jamie Somers? That girl can kick some serious tail. But come on, "The Rules"? isn't that so ten years ago? Good thing she's not a perfect student or her CIA hotty would be dead.
Also, leaving a teenager home alone is code for PARTY. It was good of bossman to cover it up though. How'd he get to Paris so fast after posting bail for little sister? It takes the rest of us longer to get through security.
Ah, but Paris, the city of love. A perfect place to break "The Rules" and who didn't see CIA hotty falling for our bionic girl wonder. She's much better off dodging bullets with hotty here than with Dr. Frankestein and his anthrocites (don't quote me on that, if I'm wrong I'll amend.)
Where has bionic woman number one been? When will Isaiah Washington be revealed as a spy? Is hotty gonna freak when he finds out that he's dating a $50 million weapon?

The Unit
OMG They killed Williams.
What else matters?
My thoughts. Colonel Ryan had him killed because Williams caught him with Tiffy. Wait and see.
Oh yeah. Brown had to hold a nice middle eastern family at gun point. War is hell.

CSI comentary
The original is awesome, which is why we now have three. The stories are great, the acting superb, the characters believable. I love that Grissom is that wierd. I love that they don't parade his and Sarah's relationship around. I love it. My favorite recently reran, Fannysmackin. When Grissom says you can go around killing people, and not even feel guilty about it. Yikes. That was great.
In stark contrast is CSI: Miami. The stories are silly, the acting, like a seventh grade production of Rent, with the noted exceptions of the Big Detective, the now deceased(?) Speedle, and Eric. It's a trainwreck that predictably happens everyweek. We are so lucky.
The third installment, CSI: New York, probably has the best acting. Who doesn't love Lt. Dan, and Eddie Cahill? When I watch it I enjoy it, but don't make it a priority. I got behind when the taxi cab murders started happening. Maybe this year I'll catch up....

Now, this is a cute little show.
For those of you who've missed the first couple of episodes, I'll catch you up. Samantha, played by Christina Applegate, woke up after an accident with amnesia. She cannot remember that she doesn't speak to her parents, who are by her side. Neither does she remember that her bff, formerly Sookie from Gilmore Girls, is someone she hasn't spoken to since the seventh grade. She doesn't remember her boyfriend, or her lover, or her job.
She goes home with the boyfriend. She finds out from the answering machine that they broke up and that she's a bitch. So back home to the parents. Her "real" bff, played by Jennifer Esposito, tries to rescue her from the 'rents and takes her out drinking. At this point Samantha remembers she's recovering and now thanks to bff has to start all over. She goes to the ex-boyfriend for help only to discover there is a party that night, she begs him to go, turns out it's a b-day party for the lover. Ooops.
She declares that her life is horrible, and she swears she'll be a better person. So her and "Sookie" hang out, and Samantha tries to learn to be nice. Samantha remembers her workplace, but doesn't know her job. Apparently she was some wicked real estate developer. Since the turning of the new leaf, she tries to do good, only to find out nobody likes good at the job. She's determined to quit, but finds out she really liked to shop.

Desperate Housewives
The new neighbors, Bob and Lee, have a Halloween soiree to help reunite Wisteria Lane after the whole fountain issue. While they are extending their neighborly invitation to Bree, they notice a person looking out the upstairs window. "Is that your daughter?" "No, my daughter is in boarding school in Switzerland."/upstairs peering out the window because I've hidden her away to cover up her pregnancy/steal her child to make amends for my previous bad parenting.
Gaby finds her new father-in-law waiting in her Wisteria Lane house, ready with a check for "lot's of zero's" dollars if she'll only stay married to the mayor until the gubernatorial election is over in thirteen months. When she tells Carlos that their plans to runaway together have to be put off because of their shaky financial situation, Carlos reveals that he'd embezzled $10,000,000 back when he had a job. Gaby is happy, no wait Gaby is pissed. She was entitled to half of everything he'd embezzled during their marriage. She can no longer trust him, and it's back to Victor who suddenly has oodles of time.
Susan and Mike talk to a genetic counselor, where Susan discovers that Mike lied about his father being dead. He's really in prison for murder. Susan decides that dad's reason for murder was not as legitimate as Mike's reason for murder and is disappointed that she is now carrying a child with broken genes.
Lynnette, gets back from her post chemo checkup and discovers that a possum has invaded her garden. She freaks out, and puts all of her energy into ridding her garden of Scruffy, the kids illegitimate possum pet. She even goes so far as to get gun advice from Bree, who sends her to the gun emporium by the Baptist church, "tell them I sent you and they'll give you a hefty discount." Later, Lynnette's mom gets her drunk and she falls asleep on the couch. What's this, a visit from her oncologist. Lynnette is cancer free. Yippee. Now she feels bad about killing that possum. It was only her misguided frustration with cancer.
Edie tells Victor that Gaby and Carlos are sneaking around, only after she told the IRS that Carlos had an offshore bank account, one that no longer exists.
So, 'round we come again to the Halloween party. Everyone is there, and in walks 8 month pregnant Danielle, cleverly dressed as her mother. Pulling the secret off until her water breaks. Then it's out the door, "can we make it to the hospital?' "there's no time" (excuse me, I was in labor for days with my first) well then I must go get the OB/GYN married to my arch nemesis. "you must never tell what you are about to find out" "Does this have anything to do with the pregnancy you've been faking" Danielle gives birth to a baby boy on the kitchen table, in front of her step-father and brother. (Does it get any more real than that?) The doctor holds up the baby just as the Scavo children are peeking in the kitchen window. Those sneaky Scavo children. Now that's five people who now know the dirty little secret the Hodge's have been hiding.
What follows is my rant.
Get Gaby and Carlos together and let them be happy. Be honest Bree. Grow up Susan. I guess we don't want normal.

Journeyman 11/5/07
Jack is watching Zach while Dan and Katie go to a Correspondents Dinner. Dan and Katie had a wonderful time, but forgot to leave dinner plans for the Vasser boys. Zach informs Uncle Jack that Dad has "monopoly money" in the closet so they can order pizza. Jack, like any good sitter, snoops and finds the $100 or so thousand dollars that Dan got from the missing plane hijacker. Jack takes a Benjamin to do some detective work on, and the boys enjoy an enjoyable dinner of chili dogs.
When Dan and Katie return home, Katie tells Dan she'd like to go back to work. (Didn't tell him she's already interviewing) Dan says we'll talk about it when I finish the recycling. But before they can, Dan, while taking out the recycling (Thanks NBC for going Green this week), gets sucked back to 1999.
He finds himself asleep in the backseat of a car. Surprised driver thinks he's getting carjacked. But wait, Dan is there to stop him from being carjacked by the punks really intending to carjack him. Oh no, surprised driver gets shot and carjackers find Dan's press pass.
Later at the hospital 2007 Dan calls 1999 Jack to find out why someone is trying to shoot surprised driver. He's the ONLY witness against some gang, court is tomorrow. Will Dan have to spend the night in 1999? Driver has to get to court. 2007 Dan goes to 1999 Dan's apartment, only to find it ransacked. He's not there to protect the driver/witness, he's there to protect his future.
Dan's dead fiance'/co-journeyer, has to help him get with his future wife. So 2007 Dan and dead Liv follow 1999 Dan around, oh yeah Dan has a gambling problem that Katie saves him from. Oh no, apartment ransacker stole $20,000 cash from 1999 Dan's apartment. Where or where will they get the money. Liv gets sucked into 2007 Dan and Katies closet, where she overhears Katie and Jack arguing about the money in the closet. Liv takes the money and vanishes back to 1999. Katie's wondering where the 100 large went.
A little time travel note before we go on. We can determine that Dan and Katie do get together because Liv couldn't have journeyed into their house had they not.
Now 2007 Dan has to beat up 1999 Dan, get him back to 1999 Dan's apartment, get back to the illicit poker game, follow the carjacker/apartment ransacker to the hospital, foil carjackers attempt to kill the driver/witness, get back to the poker game, launder $20,000 hijacking money, drink himself blind, wait for Katie, and find a clever way to "disappear" before she sees him with his 1999 self. Whoa, you thought you had a rough job.
We see 1999 Katie watching 1999 Dan sleep it off. We fade to 2007 Dan watching 2007 Katie sleep. AAAAHHHH poetic. But wait there's more. The FBI is at Jack's desk wondering where he got this flagged $100 bill. Jack holds firm for all of 30 seconds, he can't disclose his informant, oh yes he can. "I got it from my brother."

CSI Miami 11/5/07
A fashion show was invaded by gunmen shooting up the place. But wait, the gunmen were models and one died. Horatio was concerned and vowed to make it right.
The model who died had just visited her husband in prison. The prisoner, none other than the kidnapper of H's newly discovered son, who happens to be in the same prison, in the same cell block. The kidnapper of H's son, wanting to make ammends for kidnapping offered him a cell phone that later blew up H's son's prisoner/bodyguard. OH MY.
Things don't look good for H's son. Now instead of an easy burglary stint, he's up for murder. But wait, H finds kidnapper's son and uncovers some dirt. This dirt was enough to turn the "most dangerous man in Miami" into putty. Now the only witness against H's son can't recall anything that happened. Phew.
H walks out of the police station, pauses briefly, puts on his sunglasses and goes off to fight yet more crime.
