In Top Chef Veronica Mars
Hello there, readers! I just wanted to pop in and point out that I’m not dead. I’ve just been rather busy with my paying job. Also, there’s nothing on TV.
Although that’s not entirely true: I started watching Top Chef on Wednesday, and boy is it great. Of course, Dan’s got that one pretty well covered, so there’s not much else to say on that topic.
I also forced Kyle to watch So You Think You Can Dance, which I found delightful (after all, this is one of my favorite movies), and he found… less so.
What else? Hm… I’m happy Jason Dohring is getting work, as Dan pointed out. He’ll make a fun vampire. And a bunch of Comedy Central shows joined the writer’s guild, so that seems like a good thing. Yay benefits, right?
To mask the nothing that was this post, please now give me your opinion.

New trivia question for 2017 (or maybe 2008): “Who is Rebecca Tripp?”
Did anyone else love the Studio 60 finale? It was nuts to think that AS would kill off the cast and go out in a blaze of destruction (No just the set). Anyone who has ever seen the last scene in American President (as I have too many times to count) should know this.
The reason we love his writing is that it is smart and funny and human and ultimately affirming and touching. He is a master of it. He outdid himself this time. And by convincing us (well, stupid me anyway) that it was possible that he was going kill everybody, he set up the triple punchline of this piece of ‘Capra-Corn” beautifully.
Anyone could have figured that cast killing tragedy was out of the question, if they (me) had stopped to consider that when the final arc was written and filmed it was not yet absolutely certain that the show was dead. And so we are given a heroic effort to breathe life into a prematurely moribund enterprise. Bravo!
Oh Rebecca Tripp? That’s the punchline to a typically inventive execution of the AS trademark. An emotional Hollywood style happy ending. There were at least four in this show:
1. Danny and Jordan
2. The brothers Jeter
3. Matt and Harriet
4. Matt and Danny
I think I’ll have to visit NY to see Sorkin’s new Farnsworth play in the Fall…
