Watching It, Watching Me

I don't know when new episodes of Everwood will be airing, but I hope it's soon. I'm pining for some Bright and Amy and Ephram and Hannah time. Thank God the reruns have ended and I can finally share a meal with the Gilmore Girls. Rory is back at Yale and her ex, Richie Rich (fine, Logan), is stalking her. I hope she stays away and they bring back Jess for some hot, intellectual, anti-establishment lovin'. I love that Luke has a long lost daughter who's a total science geek and has a web site that reads "Intelligent Design Had Nothing to Do With It". I imagine there will be a few dramatic bits with Lorelei and Luke because there has to be drama in a drama, but the dream wedding we've all been waiting for will definitely occur at the end of the season. Perhaps then Jess will show up and he'll whisk Rory away to Prague where they'll drink good beer and collaborate on a novel about intellectual types living in Prague. That would be awesome.

I caught exactly five minutes of Emily's Reasons Why Not on ABC Monday night, which was enough to learn that Heather Graham must have been totally desperate, and the lowest she could go was not The Guru. Heather, you are so much more than this. Remember Boogie Nights? Remember P.T. Anderson and Gus Van Sant? Heather, you need a new agent.

Lost is back! Yaaaaaay! Loved the Mister Eko flashbacks, but I wanted to see more of Michael talking to ghost Walt on the machine (that 1980's computer down in the hatch). If you don't follow the show you might as well get on with your eye rolling and scroll down to the next post. It feels sort of impossible to even try to discuss Lost. Where to begin? This is an awesome show, but I actually kind of worry that the writers don't know much more than we do and are making it up as they go along. J.J. Abrams already lost me on Alias, let's hope he keeps it real with the castaways.

The "we" policy thing seems even weirder to me now than it did before. Does just using the we convention make something *not* an editorial and implicitly speak for all members of the Austinist staff?

This is just an observation and there's no need to get defensive. Austinist continues to be a great blog due to the efforts of it's editors, contributors and readers and it's been fun to watch it mature and grow.

Matt, I'm not sure I follow the whole who's on who's back thing, but from what I can tell I end up right behind you. I am flattered, but I don't like you like that.

odam

what did we say about pandering to readers? you're both fired!

truecraig

EDWARD is back! And opinionated as ever! Super sweeeeeeet!

And it is true that Odam's written opinions do not reflect those of himself. He lets his hair styles do that for him, which is kickasstastic.

i love edward!

good try edward, i hope you know alison, otherwise people might think you have some sort of weird internerd crush on her. it's nice to see you have her back, but we really got her back, so closely, that you, in turn, end up only having our back, and not sure you want that. every weekly column (check the archives) done in the first person SINGULAR is to be posted with said disclaimer, just policy, that is all. we may change it, we may not. we may put it before every post. who knows? and, no, you don't have to like football to not be marginalized. you have to to love jesus, though. a lot. *the comment posted ehre by the co-editor does is his opinion and does not reflect the opinion of austinist as a whole. -the editors*

Like many blogs, most Austinist content is simultaneously informative and editorial, but ever since Alison publicly implied

(http://www.austinist.com/archi...

she didn't watch or care about the Rose Bowl it appears her articles have been singled out with a disclaimer that they do not necessarily reflect the group think of the Austinist staff. This seems unfair and unnecessary. Isn't it implied that all posts reflect the opinion of the author in some way? There were several posts on Austinist equating the Rose Bowl with the Rapture, but I didn't see any disclaimers there. It seems that doesn't represent the opinion of at least one Austinist staff member. Sorry Alison, you have to like football (or at least not publicly say you don't) to not be marginalized.
