1. Right before a gig on Monday night I got a text that Blaise had been cast for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to which I replied, "Oh noes! They'll totally fuck it up." And then I got sent the photo of the actor and I replied, "Oh noes, they did fuck it up! He's totally too hot for movie-Draco. This is obviously why Blaise and Theodore are so MFEO."

2. In addition to my new found love Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I am also loving American Gladiators, because Wolf is the man, and as antheia said Titan is totally the power bottom. I'm wondering where *that* RPF is. And yet, I am fucking thrilled that they are airing TWO new episodes of Chuck starting next week. It'll be the end of the season, but still.

3. Any news outlet that says the WGA strike isn't affecting TV is a fucking liar. Just saying. The Golden Globes are dust, the Grammys are on deck to be screwed and the Oscars are lookng iffy. No affect my ARSE!

4. I understand that people are excited about the new Torchwood, I am too, but guess what, not everybody has seen it? In fact, a lot of people haven't, so you know, not using your cut-tag for spoilers is just being an asshole.

5. antheia posted this photo in her LJ of part of the new Star Trak cast, to which I was like, wait, all that hotass is in the movie? Really? Where's the RPF? That's gonna be a HUGE fandom. Where's Zach and the new Kirk? So she linked me to this photo of Zach and Chris which spawned the following commentary:

hackthis: Oh, THIS is gonna be gaaaaaaaaay. They look so stiff together, is that the Milo & Hayden, 'No, really we're just good friends' stance or what?
antheia: I choose to believe that's exactly what it is. "Quick! Quick! Pretend we're not fucking!"
hackthis: Dude, can you smell what the Rock is cooking? Err, what the RPS is cooking? I CAN! I can see why JJ cast [actor X as Kirk].
antheia: *nod* It's not like he has to worry about upholding any kind of great acting tradition with the part, either. So that must be a relief.
hackthis: Pretty much!

I have to find and post it, but have you seen the clip of Wolf on Best Night Ever? OMG, I DIED FROM THE AWESOME.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Best Night Ever, what's that?

[antheia.livejournal.com]

Some VH-1 program. He's in the last minute or so.

You mean Best Week Ever?! I love Best Week Ever!

[antheia.livejournal.com]

I'm almost positive it was Best Night (or Day) Ever...

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. Hmmm.

AHA! Not completely unhinged, you see. (http://www.bestweekever.tv/2008/01/14/vh1s-best-night-ever-with-jessica-st-clair/) He's in the last minute or so.

So we were both right!

[antheia.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. I suppose the universe is probably better off for that...

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You were right about the title, but I was right about its geneology. See, everybody wins.

[antheia.livejournal.com]

Precisely.

Meanwhile, why haven't we discussed this? (http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/19438994.html)
