CSI – The Good, the Bad and the Dominatrix – Lady Heather! Most of this season has been pure rubbish and I’m not even talking about Sara/Grissom. That relationship doesn’t disturb me at all. No, no, my annoyance is over the fact that CSI has flagrantly jumped the shark this season. Between the annoying “dead people talking to each other” episode and the even more annoying “Hodges” episode, I keep wondering why I’m still tuning in most weeks. Of course, lately, my finger has been sitting on the fast-forward button while I watch. But I’ve always enjoyed the Lady Heather episodes and I enjoyed this week’s as well, especially since it let Catherine stick it to Sarah even though she didn’t realize she was doing it.

Supernatural – All Hell Breaks Loose (pt 1) – Oh, most dearly beloved show. Ever since that episode where Sam went a bit evil, Jared Padalecki has really grown on me. So while I will always be a “Dean girl”, I really enjoyed this episode and when Sam bellowed that girl’s name, my heart might have fluttered a little bit.  I did not quite have the same emotional reaction as the rest of fandom appears to have had to the ending, but it’s mostly because I’m not too emotionally invested. It’s weird really. I love the show a lot, but I guess neither character really reflects some aspect of myself on screen so I don’t find either of them to be one of my default fictional characters. I love them both, but they don’t speak to me on that level that, say, Angel or Daniel Jackson does. I think I really have to see something of myself in a character before I can get very emotionally invested. Of course, maybe it is a good thing that it doesn’t leave me weeping every week

Stargate Atlantis – The Game – I saw this episode previously thanks to either Canadian or British airing schedules, but I tuned in again this week because I LOVE this episode. It is so much fun. I actually noticed a lot more going on in it this time around as well.  I had noticed previously that the leader of “Rodney’s Country” was basically a Samantha Carter doppleganger, but I hadn’t noticed that virtually every woman in the town had short blonde hair. That’s just hilarious. Also funny were all the pictures of Rodney. I did not note how many of them were the last time I viewed this episode.

The other thing I really loved about this episode was the scene where Elizabeth tries to negotiate between the towns and the leader of “Sheppard’s Town” just does this spot-on imitation of John with a bit of a hand-wave. And it wasn’t even that the hand-wave is something that Sheppard does, but that the emotional tenor of the motion perfectly matched John’s personality. Really well done. Plus, I love that actor anyway. I know I’ve seen him in some other stuff and he’s HOT.

I’m absolutely certain I watched other shows this week and had things to say about them, but the problem with waiting until the end of the week for a wrap-up is that I’ve forgotten everything. Must take notes.
