What a good week in TV! This is a post for true TV geeks like me.Since last Sunday, there have been some big doings in my favorite fantasy worlds on the small screen. Some of the highlights:
- Emily Gilmore made me cry. The show has been such a disappointment this season, but this episode was perfect. Simply perfect.
- Meredith Grey went for an unexpected swim. Yikes. I love that this twist was never leaked on the spoiler sites. (I know, it would be simpler if I just didn't read the spoiler sites, but what fun would that be.)
- Lucas Scott has apparently written a novel. I want to read it. How cheesy is that?
- An earthquake has obliterated Orange County. Has any other show ended its run by literally blowing up the set? Oh, maybe 24, but I think they actually began the season by blowing up the set! With only two episodes left, Josh Schwartz and co. are going all out!
- After more than 12 weeks with the tension lurking below the surface, this week's episode was the first to really explore the racial issues in Dillon, Texas: a white assistant coach said way more than he should have to a crafty reporter and the black
players walked off the field in disgust. It was a great way to get the conflict between Riggins and Smash to come to a head without either of them really doing anything wrong. - There's a couch on Survivor!? Really?
- And finally, tonight, Kitty and the Senator kissed (and more)... and he's running for president. This show has really hit its stride with great characters and great writing. Plus, I love Rob Lowe. (And the line about him always liking Demi Moore was hilarious! Did anyone else catch that?)

Gilmore Girls was good again last week? I didn't want to give up on it, but I finally caved, and *that's* when there's a good episode again? Of course.
Sigh. :)
It was so good that I saved it on my TiVo, Sarah! You can come watch it!
I must have to comment on Gilmore Girls. Overall, it was a good show, I agree that Emily was great, but Christopher is such an pouty, conceited idiot, the end of the show ruined it for me. I am all conflicted now that American Idol is on at the same time as GG, I will have to have Sean set up the VCR so I can tape both!

Good article. Although I am still a sucker for that show since every once in a while someone can actually sing. I think we should make a date to watch the Galapagos show the Natl Geo. Channel is putting on in HD in March!
