So Daisy is absolutely obsessed with Colin, her new dog. Tim is still totally unimpressed. He’s a little hostile about it. He calls Colin a ‘ticking timebomb of death’, as a matter of fact. Apparently fuzzy and cute equal natural born killer in Tim’s mind.

The second season of The L Word gave us some new characters, new story lines and new pairings. What once used to be isn’ t anymore and what you never expected to happen is actually happening. But I guess that during the seasons the fans have been surprised more then once by the powers that be and the choices that where made where not always what the fans wanted.

Battlestar Galactica
Home Part 2
#6 (Top 10 Happiest Episodes)
Season 2, Episode 7

Remember how I said that an episode of ‘Battlestar Galactica’ can be identified by the lack of tears Laura Roslin cries? It’s true, because as we inch toward the number one happiest episode, it’s harder and harder to find the moments that make you want to eat your soul. So, as we wrap up our bottom five with ‘Home Part 2’, look for less terrible moments.
Hillary Duff
Hillary Duff is going to be Vanessa’s new roommate at NYU! After her NBC comedy, Barely Legal, was passed on by network execs, Duff booked a multi-episode arc on Gossip Girl.
Entertainment Weekly reports that Duff will make her first appearance in the fourth episode of the upcoming season. She will be playing Olivia Burke, a famous movie star who enrolls in NYU to escape Hollywood and enjoy the traditional college experience – think Natalie Portman at Harvard, except maybe more high maintenance, this is Gossip Girl afterall.

What’s worse than being a 46-year-old high school freshman? Being a 46-year-old high school freshman with braces. However, this doesn’t deter Jerri from making the bold choice to get vending machine barbecue ribs in the hallway on her first metal-mouthed day, or read a poem about being a hooker to the whole class. She’s a trooper, that one.
Karl Malden
…Karl Malden, Academy Award-Winning Actor
From CNN: “Veteran actor Karl Malden, who won an Academy Award for his role in A Streetcar Named Desire, has died at age 97, his manager said Wednesday.
“Malden died in his sleep about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, said his manager, Bud Ross.

It’s that time again – time to sit back and enjoy classic humor from Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, in A Bit of Fry & Laurie. This week, I watched season one, episode five. Here are some of the highs and lows for me.

We’re 5 weeks into Opie season already and the Bering Sea drama keeps on coming. Captain Sig Hansen of the Northwestern gives us the quote that is the title for tonight’s episode. Just when you think you got one thing right, something else comes up wrong.

21 Jump Street
Mean Streets and Pastel Houses
Guest Star: Jason Priestley
Season 1, episode 12
Valeria – Sr. Reviewer
valeria@thetwocentscorp.com
There were two things about this episode that distracted me from the general plot. The first one being that Jason Priestley, has basically 5 lines in the whole episode. The second one being that Johnny Depp is absolutely delicious in late 80’s punk attire (studded leather jacket, hair product, plaid pants, etc).

We’re a month into Opilio season and the crews of the fleet are exhausted. Seeing that the northern ice flow has caught up with them, it seems that there will be no rest for the weary. But if the Opies are there it will all be worth it.
