1/4/10 - No Ordinary Family/V/Parenthood/CHANGES

No Ordinary Family – No Ordinary Friends

     To be completely honest, I watched this as it aired live, thinking I would re-watch it and pay closer attention to what was going on, but I don’t want to re-watch.  So, I am not going to.

     I love Rich Schroder, but even he couldn’t keep me interested in this episode.  I really do want to like this show, because I think Julie Benz is great, and I like Michael Chiklis.  I actually like the entire cast, and don’t know why this show just isn’t gelling for me.  I don’t know if it’s the writing, the special effects, the overall premise of the show, or what, but I am not at all invested in these people.  I couldn’t care less about the overall mystery, and already feel like the storylines are getting repetitive.

     The only thing that really interested me in this episode was that “Joshua,” aka The Watcher, finally told Dr King he is done being his spy/bitch.  He told him the powers were coming at too high a cost, and it seemed he actually really wants to be with Katie.  Of course, just as he makes the decision, Katie found Stephanie’s “secret powers journal” in his clothes, right after he deflowered her, and now she is going to feel betrayed and hurt and angry.

     Last question for right now:  Why did they have “Joshua” erase Daphne’s memory just to have her regain it in the first minutes of this episode?  I guess she still doesn’t know what happened that led up to her memory loss, since that wasn’t something anyone else experienced, but why couldn’t he have just erased that portion of her memory.

     I will keep watching this show for the rest of the season, but I honestly don’t see myself coming back to it next year, should there be a season 2.

V – Red Rain

     It feels like this show has been gone forever and I am glad it’s back.  I am glad ABC stuck with this show and gave it a second season, even if they did

     Tyler’s face melting off due to red acid rain in Erica’s dream was awesome.  I think it may have been one of the most graphic, gross things on network television.  It wasn’t bad if it was a cable show, but it was pretty graphic for network TV.

     The real red rain looked like blood, but wasn’t acid.  I was a bit disappointed LOL.

     Before I say anything else, I have to make an admission here:  I have a mad “girl crush” on Morena Baccarin…  I have, ever since Firefly.  I think she is about as close to a perfect woman as you will find, so don’t expect any negative comments about her or her acting.  I have a bias and am not afraid to admit it.  If it comes to a showdown between Anna and Erica, I will be hoping for an Anna victory, although I do also like Elizabeth Mitchell.

     I am happy for the addition of Bret Harrison as Dr Sidney Miller.  He has a comedy background, most recently he starred in Reaper, and I think he will add a lighter touch to some of the heavier scenes. 

     I am also glad it appears that Chad Decker is going to start working with the 5^th Column as a double super-secret agent.  Although, his loyalty seems to shift with the wind, so I still don’t particularly trust that he isn’t going to take all of his intel back to Anna.

     I think this episode did a good job of setting up this season, and it made me look forward to what’s coming next.

Parenthood – Damage Control    

     When did Jabbar turn into a spoiled rotten brat?  He’s always been the cute one, yet this week he was terrible.  I don’t like bratty Jabbar.

     I understood Haddie being upset when her parents said she couldn’t see Alex anymore, but I totally see their point.  However, he really does have his shit together, and has already gone through some of the worst things life can offer.  He will treat her well and they wouldn’t have to worry about him drinking and driving with Haddie in the car.

     I am looking forward to meeting Sarah’s ex-husband.  That’s obviously where they are headed with all this talk about his addictions, as well as Sarah deciding not to date again, ever.

     I didn’t care at all about the dead bird/explaining death to Sydney.

     Sarah’s new motto for 2011 of no more men/relationships and that the year is going to be a good one is going to be my motto.  At least for now!

**** T HE WINDS OF CHANGE ARE COMING TO THIS BLOG!!!****

     As most of you know, this blog has only been in existence since September.  I am still trying things out, seeing what works and what doesn’t, and tossing things against the wall to see what sticks (EWW). 

     Anyway, I am going to try something different.  Because this blog has started to feel more like a second job than a fun little diversion, I am not going to be posting daily commentary on ever show I watch.  I will likely post something most days, but it won’t look like it has up to this point.  On the advice of a friend, I am going to be more casual, and just post when I have something to say.  I may post news, information, opinions, thoughts, etc.  I live in LA, so if I see a celebrity at an event, or on the streets, I will post something.  I will still talk about shows, especially if something really hits me, but it’s not going to be as intense as it has been.

     Give it a few days, then please send me a comment and let me know what you think.  I look forward to hearing from you!

1/3/11 - How I Met Your Mother/Mike & Molly/Castle/Hawaii Five-0/Men of a Certain Age

How I Met Your Mother – Bad News

     I love me some Sandy Rivers!  I was happy to see him back on the show, and since Robin is working there now, there are chances for him to return in the future.  I really love Alexis Denisof and it’s always fun when he shows up on my television unexpectedly.                                                                               

     I knew the title was “Bad News”…  I typed it right up there ^ before the episode started.  Still, I got so caught up in Sandy Rivers, and Robin’s bad video history, and Barney’s doppelganger being a fertility specialist, I forgot the title.  I got so caught up in Lily being ok, and Marshall having great sperm (high motility-high five!), and Sandy Rivers wearing a toupee, I forgot the title.  I got so excited for Marshall to tell his dad, then to tell Lily when he didn’t reach his dad, I forgot the title.  Then I realized Marshall couldn’t reach his dad.  And Lily was crying when she got out of the cab.  And then, BAD NEWS struck, and Marshall’s father is dead.  It was devastating.  I cried.  HARD.  I have no doubt there will be a lot more about this next week.
     I've read some commentary since writing this that there was a countdown clock on the episode.  I have to be completely honest, I never saw it, never noticed it.  I don't even know if it was just coming back from the commercials or if it was somewhere on screen through the whole episode.  Since I didn't notice it, I have no comment on it.

Mike & Molly – Mike Goes to the Opera

     Mike is gross.  Is it not possible for a man of size to be depicted on television as being clean and neat, even if sick?  I was so disgusted when he sneezed in the car, I almost turned the channel.  Mike has never come across this way before, and being sick shouldn’t turn him into a pig.

     I don’t really understand why Molly wanted to take care of Mike so badly.  If it were me, I would have been thrilled to let his mother handle it.  I get that she wanted to be the hero, to be the “go to” person in his life, but seeing how completely incapable he was of taking care of himself, I would have been happy to push him off on his mother.

Castle – Nikki Heat

    I like Laura Prepon, I always have, but WHAT did she do to her eyes?  I found it very distracting.  Maybe it’s just the dark makeup, because I don’t remember noticing her eyes when she did How I Met Your Mother, but it looks like she may have had some work done.  She is barely 30, it’s too early to start nipping/tucking/injecting.

     It made me laugh that Castle obviously didn’t enjoy having someone more famous than he is circling around Beckett and the team.  He didn’t like her to begin with, and the subtle lack of acknowledgement of his skill and writing didn’t help.  He eventually warmed to her at least enough for him to allow her to jamb her tongue down his throat, but I don’t see them ever being best friends.

     I was pleasantly startled to see Melody Thomas Scott as one of the suspects.  It’s not often she breaks away from Young and the Restless to do a guest spot on a prime time show, especially one on a different network.

     It was great the way Beckett went from loving attention and having a famous actress follow her around to hating it.  She got creeped out and concerned that Natalie was going to “single white female” her.  Natalie never went that far, but she would have slept with Castle if he had been game, which he wasn’t.

     Ryan’s proposal to his girlfriend Jennifer was sweet and just about perfect.  It made me tear up.  Some of that might have been left over emotions from HIMYM, but it was just a perfect proposal.  I also love the fact that Jenny is actually played by Seamus Dever’s (Ryan’s) wife.  It made the whole proposal resonate just a little bit more for me.

Hawaii Five-0 – Ke Kinohi

     Of course the bad guy, who’s been a bad guy for years and years, and who has oodles of money is well-connected.

     I want one of those gadget tables.  It would be cool to set my phone down and be able to see everything on it or plug in a memory stick and have it all pop up easily on screen.

     Steve and the team have gotten closer to solving and proving who killed his mother.  I am glad they showed Mary again, and showed Steve putting her on the plane back to LA.  I guess if you are a former Navy seal with a pass from the governor, you can still walk your little sister right to the gate.

Men of a Certain Age – And Then the Bill Comes

     It was nice to see Owen bringing the sales and service departments together with a new incentive.  It totally sucks that he had to back down and take it all back when his father told him the truth about the business taxes and property.  I feel badly for Owen because even when he gets it right something happens that sets him back.  His father really set him up for a huge fall by not telling him everything.  I am interest to see what he is going to do with that land.

     Poor Terry is trying to act like a grown-up, but his family and friends don’t seem ready for him to do so.  No one seems to believe he is ready to give up the acting for a more steady income as a car salesman.

     I am glad Joe went to see Manfro.  I like Manfro, and hope he doesn’t die, but I have a feeling next year Joe may inherit a dog and the bookmaking business.  I also have concerns about whatever is going on with Joe’s eye.  I don’t think it’s a hair he kept seeing; I think it is the beginning of something degenerative.

     I can’t believe next week is already the season finale.  It goes too fast.

1/2/11 Desperate Housewives/Brothers & Sisters

Desperate Housewives – Assassins

     Oh Orson, go F yourself.  “Judy kicked me out, can I stay with you?”  UMMMM, NO. NO. No. No, no, no, no.  The ensuing food fight was great though, and did make me laugh.  Bree is so much better suited to Orson, but Keith seems to bring out a fun side to her that Orson doesn’t touch,  I am glad Orson got to see her with Keith in a moment where she let her guard down and showed her true feelings for Keith. 

     I think Gaby is starting to have a breakdown of some kind.  While I completely understand Carlos’ point of view, he didn’t bond with Grace like Gabby did.  And while the therapist may have been right about what will help Juanita, I don’t think any of them have taken into account what Gabby is going through.  This is a really difficult situation, and I agree, and disagree, with everyone involved, to one degree or another.

     Susan refused to accept that things have to change, and instead of following the advice of her nurse, and her doctor, and insisted on taking MJ for ice cream.  So, instead of him being scared she might die, he was traumatized by watching her have a seizure on the hospital hallway floor.  I would say that is a much worse option.  I wanted to slap her for this, for not listening to the professionals and thinking she knew better.  It would be a better show without her, but there is no way Susan is going to die.  So now we get to see her deal with dialysis and being ill instead.  Uggh, not like Susan was frail enough before, now it’s going to be even worse.  And would someone PLEASE buy Mike a razor.  I know he was in Alaska, but he is back now; shave for goodness sake.  Carlos did, and he looks 10 years younger because of it.

     Paul now knows that his wife is Felicia’s daughter.  He is obviously going to use this to his advantage somehow in the future, although I don’t think he knows yet what he is going to do with the information.  I think a part of him may be hurt by what I am sure he sees as a betrayal, and we all know a hurt Paul is like a hurt animal:  he will strike out to protect himself.

Brothers & Sisters – Scandalized

     I LOVED Seth’s personalized ringtone for his mother.  The scream really cracked me up.

     Scotty and Kevin giving back their baby in their role-playing made me tear up.  Those two have more emotional resonance with me than anyone else on this show.  For me, Scotty is really the heart of their relationship, and he has the biggest heart of any of the characters.  That may be why I identify with him and feel for them as a couple.  I teared up again when they realized the little girl, Olivia chose them.  I really hope they end up with her!

     The dinner Nora hosted was one of the most uncomfortable dinners they have had on this show in a long time.  Carl was seriously a douche and I hope that was the last we see of him.  I love the actor and want Nora to be happy, but he is not right for her.

     Did I miss something with Justin?  Last I remember he said he wanted to be an EMT, and now he is one?  Did he just walk in and say, I want to be an EMT, I was a medic in the war, and they just put him on an ambulance?  Same thing for his relationship with Annie, it feels rushed and forced.  It feels like time has supposedly gone forward much faster for Justin than for the other characters for some reason.  It just feels weird and rushed and odd somehow.

     If they ever do a spin-off of this show, I hope they take Scotty and Kevin and give them their own show.  I would watch that for sure.  I think Scotty running a restaurant, Kevin being a lawyer, with full lives and careers and family life, and the process of fostering and adopting a slightly older child would be a great show.  Yep, I would watch that.

Big Bang Theory

Big Bang Theory – The Justice League Recombination

     I enjoyed when Leonard knocked on Penny’s door, and Sheldon said, low and almost under his breath “Penny”.  That was very funny.  Then when he did his Penny knock as The Flash, I thought it was even funnier.  One of my favorite running gags on this show is the Sheldon knocks and says Penny three times.

     Zack kind of reminds me of Molly’s sister Victoria on Mike & Molly.  He may not be stoned, but he is not at all smart. 

     It is so beyond obvious that Penny and Leonard still have pretty serious feelings for each other, yet neither of them want to confront those feelings.

     I didn’t particularly love this episode.  I didn’t hate it, but I was hoping for something a bit stronger.  I think Twitter may be spoiling things for me a bit, because I see people from the show talking about the episode, and talking UP the episode, and by the time it airs my expectations are higher than they would have been otherwise, and I end up disappointed.  It happens with BBT, and with some other shows as well. 

It seems this is the last of the new shows until after the holiday break.  I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas (if you celebrate Christmas) and a spectacular New Years.  I may pop in with something if it is warranted, but I may not be back until new episodes return after January 1.

How I Met Your Mother/Mike & Molly/Men of a Certain Age/Hawaii Five-0

How I Met Your Mother – False Positive

     As the title suggests, Lily and Marshall experience a false positive pregnancy test, but while they believe they are pregnant, it caused everyone to reflect on their own lives and try to make positive changes.  When they all found out Lily wasn’t really pregnant they reverted back to their old ways.  Then Ted basically told them all to be their better selves, and they listened.

     I loved that Barney bought a ridiculous diamond pinstriped suit, but then returned it.  I loved that he did an Oprah-like “Barney’s Favorite Things” and that everyone really enjoyed the gifts he gave away.  What I liked most though, was him making a large donation to his brother’s father’s church, AND donating dozens of his suits.  That was legend-wait for it-dary.

     I am glad Robin is finally on a good career path.  She decided to take a job as a research assistant at a major cable network.  She also told Ted she wants him to be her best man if and when she ever gets married.  I am starting to think the wedding we saw earlier this season, with Ted acting as best man, may have actually been Robin’s wedding, and not the wedding we have been lead to believe.

Mike & Molly – First Christmas

     Why is it that so many men can seem so wonderful 11 months out if the year, then when Christmas rolls around they are complete idiots?  First of all, not listening when ideas are not just hinted at but put up in neon signs is bad enough.  Worse is when they not only don’t get the neon sign hints, but then go out and buy themselves the one thing they want more than anything, and you KNOW they want, and you have already purchased.

     This has happened to me, and my guess is it’s happened to many, many women, otherwise it wouldn’t be a plotline here, or on all the other shows for which it’s been a story.  Then Molly had to go get him a different gift and it was JUST AS AWESOME as the first one.  Mike couldn’t even come up with one decent gift, yet Molly came up with two.

     Mike ended up getting Molly a diamond bracelet that he absolutely couldn’t afford.  At least she knew that at told him he had to return it, that she couldn’t keep it.  While they were discussing this, Mike finally told Molly he loves her, and she told him she loves him too.  It was a really sweet ending to the holiday episode.

     Mike’s mother and Molly’s sister were as annoying as ever, but Molly’s mother was better this week.  I think once the writers find their groove with at least one of the family characters, they will soon after find their groove with the rest, but I hope it happens soon.

Men of a Certain Age – Same as the Old Boss

     I really enjoy this show, and tonight was no exception.  I am glad each of them is standing up for themselves in the areas in which they need to.  Owen told his service manager that his work wasn’t acceptable and things needed to change.  Terry took abuse from his coworkers until he figured out that showing up with a hot chick from the commercial they were using to tease him, and making it seem like she had been looking for him for years and they were going to sleep together, would shut them up.  And Joe started to take his attempt to make the seniors tour more seriously.

     At the same time Owen’s wife Melissa took small steps toward going back into the workforce, and Joe’s son Albert took a step out of his comfort zone and went to a party.  I like that we are getting to see more of the lives of those who surround our three main characters. 

     I always enjoy the times that it is just the three guys, whether it is when they hike, or when they are eating at Norm’s.  Their friendship seems so natural and life-long, it’s sometimes hard to remember these are just characters, and these actors really didn’t know each other before they started filming last year.  It’s fun to see how they interact, and tease without malice, and give and take advice.  I hope we never lose those scenes.

Hawaii Five-0 – Nana ‘a’a Makehewa

     Scott Caan was nominated for a Golden Globe this morning, for supporting actor.  I don’t necessarily think he was the best choice out of every supporting actor out there that didn’t get nominated, but at the same time, I get it.  This show is pretty average for the most part, but Scott Caan as Danny is the outstanding cast member.  His scene at the beginning of this episode with the Christmas tree and Santa suit really shows how he shines.

     The cock fighting scene was too realistic to me; even though it didn’t get violent it still bothered me.  Unrealistic to me, however, was the specificity with which they could track the ankle bracelet with a phone.  Is it really that easy and specific?

     Daniel Dae Kim sure gets almost blown up a lot:  First on Lost, now here.  Also, a smoke pillar to designate the bad guy’s location for the money exchange reminded me of the smoke columns on Lost as well.  Between a cast member being shared and the island setting, I guess it’s inevitable that some things would bring back Lost memories.

     Victor, the dude we thought of as the big bad (played by James Marsters, Buffy’s Spike!), really isn’t the big bad.  It seems he was just the middle management bad, and someone worse was pulling his strings and is now in town.  It’s enough to bring me back after the break, along with Scott Caan’s scene stealing performances.

Desperate Housewives/Brothers & Sisters

Desperate Housewives – Down the Block There’s a Riot

     I have been sitting here for hours, doing other things, but all the while trying to come up with something nice to say about this episode.  I think I am jaded when it comes to DH though, since my favorite scene was Susan getting stepped on during the “riot”.

     I know these kinds of things happen, where neighborhood’s protest a possible half way house in their neighborhood, and I totally understand that.  I also understand the mob mentality that comes over people, and how things can get out of control.  I even understand that in her panic about Keith getting beat up Bree would get and fire her gun.  What I don’t get is, as a responsible gun owner, as she has always come across before, how Bree could then turn and point her loaded weapon into the crowd. 

     I know Lynette blames Paul, and Paul told Lynette it was on her, and both are right, but both are also wrong.  People were already on edge, and it may have happened anyway, but I blame Bree.

     Are we supposed to care if Paul lives or dies?  I don’t.  Are we supposed to care about what happened to Susan?  I don’t.  Are we supposed to wonder why Keith’s father Richard freaked out about finishing the back yard?  I don’t, and on this point we probably aren’t supposed to care.  I have a feeling this will never be addressed, and will just be one more thing that was done solely and strictly to keep him there so Keith could come over and beat him up. 

     Obviously we are supposed to care who shot Paul.  I don’t.  I have a theory, a complete and total guess, but I am not going to put it down here.  I don’t want anyone to take my theory as anything more than that, so I am not putting it in writing.  Just be sure that if it plays out the way I think it will, I will say I KNEW IT here.

Brothers & Sisters – Cold Turkey

     Nora’s dream sequence was amusing.  I enjoyed seeing Holly as the step-mother, and Kev as closeted.  It went on just about the perfect amount of time; at least it didn’t drag on through the whole episode.  It was fun to see what she believed her influence on each of her children to be.  I also really enjoyed seeing Kitty with a little meat on her bones, even though she was also dumpy and unkempt. 

     I loved Kevin and Kitty fighting over who would host Christmas, and the fact that in the end neither won, neither lost.  They created the perfect compromise and still had the big Christmas day celebration at Nora’s even though they didn’t know she would be home for dinner. 

     I noticed a cute little wink and nod that I just have to share:  When Kevin and Kitty were on the phone and she was staring at the little Christmas village, one of the buildings, the big one that they pushed in on right at the beginning of the shot, was labeled “Harrison’s Hardware.”  I thought it was a fun, sweet thing for them to do.

     I still don’t understand why Sarah’s office, where she seems to be spending all her time, is at the radio station where Nora works.  It really just does not make any sense to me.

     I felt badly for Saul when he was finally able to confront the man he believes made him HIV+, and the guy, Stephen, didn’t even remember sleeping with him.  Also, I know that was Richard Chamberlain, but I think someone needs to put the breaks on the plastic surgery.  He looked very tight and plastic to me.

Big Bang Theory/Vampire Diaries/Mentalist/Fringe

The Big Bang Theory – The Alien Parasite Hypothesis

     I loved the Rat Man, Mouse Boy superhero, sidekick discussions between Howard and Raj.  It seemed silly that they would resort to wrestling to decide who would be the hero and who would be the sidekick though.  Being that they are both intellectuals, why wouldn’t they settle it with their brains?  Was it because they believe a superhero needs brawn more than brains?  Whatever, that question was never answered, nor was the question of which of them would be the hero.  They just circled around each other for hours, never touching each other.

     I am glad Mayim Bialik was made a regular cast member, but I really didn’t want to see a whole episode centered on her and on Amy’s baser instincts.  I like that she is Sheldon’s intellectual equal, because even though all our guys are smart none of them really match Sheldon equally. 

     I know that they had to cut back on Penny screen time while Kaley recovers from her accident and is in a cast.  It’s frustrating though that Leonard has been relegated to back burner and supporting character while that plays itself out.  I don’t think he had more than 10 lines this episode and that’s just a shame.

The Vampire Diaries – By the Light of the Moon

     My first comment after I watched this episode was this: Tyler broke my heart.  I have watched a lot of horror movies, a lot of werewolf changes, not all of course, but a lot.  I have never seen someone show the physical pain so well.  He was heartbreakingly brilliant.  And we saw just enough to know what was happening, but not so much that it went into the cheesy, bad special effects realm.  The special effects and makeup were perfect, but honestly Michael Trevino completely and totally sold that transformation.  He was a revelation tonight. 

     Nina Dobrev just keeps acting the hell out of her Katherine scenes.  I think Elena has taken second chair to Katherine, but only because Katherine is getting all of the meaty scenes lately.  I didn’t really expect the sex scene between Katherine and Stefan to be real, since they showed it in every ad for the show all week, so it wasn’t a surprise or disappointment when we found out it was her messing around in his mind/dreams.

     I am glad Tyler wasn’t the one that bit Rose, but I am really interested to find out who it was, if it was Jules, Mason’s friend, or another werewolf.  I am also really intrigued to see whether the bite does kill Rose, and if it is as slow and painful a death as it looks like it might be. 

     I am developing a crush on Elijah.  He’s hot, powerful, strong, dangerous, and mysterious.  He is exactly the kind of vampire that definitely gets my attention.  He is Damon, if Damon had been around for several centuries, instead of less than 150 years.  He is what Damon would be like if he was an original, instead of a relative newbie. 

     I read in one place that Elijah took down the vamp barrier in the cave just long enough to get Stefan out, and then put it right back up.  I don’t think that is correct, I think the barrier is gone and Katherine could get out at any time, but Elijah compelled her to remain right in there as if the barrier were still up.  Just more proof of how powerful Elijah is, and another reason I think I am going to really like him.

The Mentalist – A Jolly Red Elf

     Patrick’s obsession with Red John just cranked up another notch in this episode, and I am honestly kind of tired of it.  There are so many shows that try to keep up a weak through line, an overarching story that runs through the entire series, and for this show Red John is it.  It really frustrates me that they haven’t captured him yet, or that Patrick hasn’t found and killed him.  I know they want to keep things going and that if the Red John story ends there would be no reason for Patrick to keep consulting, but I am sure they could figure something out.  At this point I am afraid the show is going to get cancelled before Red John is found out.

   

Fringe – Marionette

     My first thought was that someone on the staff is a big Dexter fan!  The sheets of plastic hanging from the ceiling, the cellophane keeping the victim attached to the table, all of it shouted to me DEXTER.  But then, of course, came the Fringe twist:  the victim’s heart was removed, yet he was still alive and speaking for 3 minutes after paramedics arrived.

     Reanimation has been in the popular lexicon since before Frankenstein was written, so this story wasn’t really new.  The particulars were a twist of course, but the basic premise has been around for centuries.  What I really enjoyed was that the puppeteer could tell just from looking into her eyes that whatever he created wasn’t the girl he was trying to bring back.  It had shades of Stephen King’s “Pet Cemetery” but also really reflected what was happening with Olivia in this episode.

     I thought Anna Torv continued to rock the storyline this week.  Her anguish at having had someone completely invade and take over her life, wear her clothes, do her job, and having no one realize it was an imposter weighed heavily on Olivia.  She is hurt and angry that Peter not only didn’t know it wasn’t her, but doesn’t seem to realize how that is affecting her now.  She spent the majority of the episode downplaying how upset she was, but when she sat with Peter and said, “She wasn’t me; how could you not see that?  Now she’s everywhere: she’s in my house, my job, my bed, and I don’t want to wear my clothes anymore, and I don’t want to live in my apartment, and I don’t want to be with you.  She’s taken everything,” and she walked away, I felt so much pain from her.  It was a very impressive scene from both Anna and Joshua Jackson.  He sat there and took it, let her vent and knew that he could say nothing that would make it better.  It was a beautiful, devastating scene.  Kudos and well done to both actors.
