Oh, W., you are an asshole. You've had days to address the collapse of the economy under your watch, days and days of shitty repeats that you could have interrupted without hampering the fall TV season. But you decide that you just have to address a crisis that is well underway during premiere week of the fall TV season. At 9PM. And better yet, you've probably known about this address for days but didn't bother to inform the networks of your decision until it was too late for them to adjust their schedules. So, Criminal Minds will be delayed by at least ten minutes(oh, sure. Make that forty-five in the real world)while you dither incomprehensibly about another plan to turn this country into a superstitious, repressive, irrelevant, impoverished backwater that makes British-ruled India of the 1800s look like a liberal utopia.
Well, fuck you. I'm sure that nothing good is going to spill from that Howdy Doody mouth of yours, and since you're going to be out on your ass come January 20, I don't care about whatever cockamamie plan you've cobbled together from bad advice, rich-man's privilege, and cack-handed buck-passing and ass covering. I don't want to meet the new demagogue who will have trillions of dollars at his disposal with no oversight other than the pleasure of the Fundie in the White House. I would really rather watch pretend criminals commit pretend crimes and be caught than watch real ones commit real crimes on national TV and get off clean.
NCIS was much better than I expected. I can only presume that this improvement stems from the departure of Dir. Sheppard, who sucked up all the chemistry and creativity of the show and shat it out in a noxious, festering dune of redolent dung. Yes, Vance and Gibbs are adversarial, but they can and do work well together when the need arises. Plus, it's wonderful not to be slapped in the face with Gibbs' and Sheppard's past affair every time a crisis arises. Frankly, that was rather like having a moist pair of post-coital panties rubbed in your face. Arousing as hell to the bonkers, I'm sure, but boring and hurl-inducing to innocent viewers who were just looking for a crime show.
So, yes, I boogied when Jen bought it.
Poor Langer, branded as a traitor while Lee goes undetected. I don't know if the writers had intended that arc for Lee from the outset. If they did, bravo on the brilliant setup and explosive execution; if they didn't, bravo on turning an incidental, garnish character into an unexpected villain I'll be interested to watch.
Why am I betting Lee's contact is either Eli David or the dorky, hangdog Ziva bodyguard in the background of her father's office?
I'm glad I decided to give it another look after last year's miserable season.
