In the words of House, “Read less. More TV.”

YESSSSSSS. Tuesdays at 8, Veronica Mars! Tuesdays at 9, House!

EDIT: AAAARG. They’re putting VM up against American Idol? Do they have a deathwish?

Lost will be interesting, though. Quoth the Detroit Free Press:

No pesky, frustrating “Lost” repeats next season. After airing seven fall episodes, “Lost” takes a break while ABC tries out the new drama series “Day Break.” And then “Lost” returns in late January or early February to finish off an all first-run third season.

Also, Grey’s Anatomy is moving to Thursdays, so my friends and I are going to have to find a new Sunday night show to follow. Or maybe I’ll just record it and we can all watch it on Sundays regardless. If they don’t kill off my friend’s brother, maybe I’ll look into Desperate Housewives.

Does anyone know if Sci-Fi is ever going to catch up with the BBC, and if they’re going to start airing new episodes of Doctor Who in America, possibly within a few days of airing in the UK? Is that in the cards, or not so much?

Anyway, here’s hoping for The Dresden Files in 2007! (And speaking of fantasy protagonists that are much cooler than you or I could ever be, Aysha drew Vimes! And Moist! Hurrah!)

And unrelated to television but still in the realm of fandom, Neil mentioned in his blog that They Might Be Giants are writing songs for Coraline. SQUEE!!!

OH MY DEAR GRAVY, THE COLBERT REPORT. I need that screencap of House as Wonder Woman, and I need it now. Hey, maybe if Morgan Freeman turns down the part, Hugh Laurie might be willing to take on the role…

(And he mentioned the bear eating the monkey! This makes the second TV personality in two days who has read my recent blog postings, then travelled back in time to have the content influence their show!)

Shatner raps Shakespeare — also from Peg!

California endorses gay history in school texts. A national survey conducted last year by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network reported that 75 percent of homosexual students frequently overheard derogatory remarks at school. Advocates of the bill say more positive role models could reduce high suicide rates among gay and lesbian students.

Serenity is IMDB’s Movie of the Day! A critical yet ultimately positive review.

24 episodes to be offered on MySpace, iTunes style.

Common-sense medical advice for obnoxious, insulting, and frankly offensive reasons. Whoever came up with the term “pre-pregant” can bite me.

Lost. I watched it with my mom and aunt, neither of whom had seen a single episode. It was kind of hilarious, trying to explain two seasons’ worth of backstory during each commercial break. The following is RIDDLED WITH SPOILERS, so tread carefully.

Charlie/Claire! Aww, JJ Abrams must have read my blog post in which I griped about all my OTPs getting the boot to the head, then travelled back in time several weeks in order to add those adorable moments! YAY for Charlie making the right call re: the statues, YAY for him choosing a spot in which the statues are unlikely to end up washed up on the beach again, YAY for finding a constructive way to help Claire and Turniphead without making yourself look like a deranged stalker maniac!

Other Things:
AWW at Sawyer’s confession to Jack
YAY for Sayid being the only person on the island not foaming at the mouth with stupidity
WAH at Hurley’s eugooglogy
WTF for the Others’ demands not including the offing of A-L. If Michael came up with that on his own, rather than the situation being a desperate father doing whatever is asked of him to get his son back? I wash my hands of him.

Desmond coming soon!

It’s official! Veronica Mars is getting a third season of 22 episodes! *does a merry dance and ignores the addendum of “depending on ratings, may be reduced to 13″*

I just hope they don’t put it up against Lost or House again!

I just applied to Laika, the studio that’s making Coraline. I’m a few days past the internship deadline (May 10th), but I just heard of the company today, and I figured it was worth a shot. Fingers, toes, and even eyes are crossed! Henry Selick. Neil Gaiman. *happy gurgle*
