With Doctor Who when you're watching Lost and and they get the hidden roll of film out of the bible and you're going OMG! Lost Dalek Story clips and telling them to stop buggering around with blast doors and ancient computers and start looking for lost Two serials and Dalek Master Plan episodes. I mean, that entertainment stash has been down there since before the junkings...

With regard to the rest of it, I do have Ana-Lucia Issues. And it's not that I hate 'Strong Women Characters' I love strong women characters. I just don't think she is one. Strong characters aren't bullies just as they aren't abusers. That's a sign of a weak character and that's irrespective of gender.
Then there's also thrown in my issues with regard to a cop being a cold blooded killer - which is that they're a cop. I expect a higher standard of morality - even when it's hard and personal - from a cop than a con-man. I'd have respected her seeking justice - and IDing the guy so the case could go to a court of justice.Denying a day in court and blowing him away, that's not justice, that's vigilanteeism and that I don't like in a character. I did like that Kate's murder wasn't self-defence, that it was a crime and presented as such.I think it's the moral relative character vs the moral absolute character thing for me again. It's why I expect better conduct from a souled slayer or a cop than a soulless vampire or a thief and can take the latter stumbling and making mistakes but not the latter because they're not claiming the moral absolute high ground.

Though I am seeing ME cooties with the whole 'I hate that I fancy you, so I'm going to hurt you but you deserve it' thing. Eeep. Sawyer, Run away, run away.

Why are they burying people where any typhoon winds/waves are going to expose the rapidly decaying bodies? The jungle would be much better.
Also tarps are really useful in tropical rainfall conditions and in guarding sleeping skin from parasite infestation - and I've seen them eating their way out; it's not something anyone in their right mind would want. Why are they wasting the tarps on the dead? Palm fronds would do the job of covering them up without damaging survival chances.

Poor Sayid. Gavin looked unexpectedly ripped - though I'm sure Lilah is suitably appreciative, being with The Others plotting their next move as she undoubtably is. Bernard better look out too;)

And that island clearly has a zoo on it, as no natural tropical habitat has horses, polar bears, chickens and wild boar.

Veronica Mars I loved the Logan/Weevil fight. Best thing in the episode. Can we say sublimation much? I think we can. It might even result in a ficlet - which is good as I'm blocked to hell on what I should be writing. The two guys working together amid factions of the PCHers not buying it could be good. I did like Logan using his brain to ambush Weevil. I loathed Veronica's smirk at Weevil on the pole - that wasn't the girl I liked in the show opener, or the one that got the Lily influenced lift from Weevil that saved her life in this season's opener.
I loathed her not calling Donut on his shit about not telling his mother that they were together. Where's the strong character of last year, writers?

Why faff around with electronic babies in sex education? Just get them rolling condoms on bananas and instructed in safe sex. It's what we got and there weren't any babies in the bog at the school discos. Ok, one guy did a months long hoax that he got his girlfriend pregnant so he got let off tons of A Level homework, but was exposed in the end and expelled.

Speaking of bog babies - loved, loved, loved the Clemmons playing Veronica of it. Can see the thematics of VM needing to explore what her mum was like but I don't buy the she was really nice end twist - not with how she turned out. I can buy the psych of how Aaron treated his kids. It's the adored , indulged Chosen Child and the scapegoat, abused Biological Child dynamic I've seen in RL - but I don't see him and Wife Number One adopting a kid at that time. It's also too soapish throughout the who's Trina's parents thing and fell ultimately flat for me.

As did AH's acting. Having her play a bad actress at full pelt didn't do her any favours. It got rather hard to see any divide between Bad Acting and bad acting. The CC-AH scene not helping much there either. It wasn't a wink at the audience so much as a poke in the eye with a sharp stick that left me unable to take in anything happening in the scene in question - not that much did.
I think it was supposed to, but it all fell very flat - assisted with CC's complete inability to generate sexual heat or add layers to a very, very one note character, Donut's stale bakery product acting and some bad lines for JD. Boy the exposition fairy was wearing her lead lined boots in this one.

Pregnant Meg - like that was a surprise.

The alt ending - would have been cooler - but serious overkill in a season stuffed full of overkill. Overkill on characters that mean no pace. Overkill on pile the misery onto the scapegoat character and expect us to buy it because the lead's nice to someone else. Overkill on 09er Veronica and especially overkill by VD. Time to splat the Donut, Rob.

I really didn't miss Wallace again. Could he be the one on 6, please.

No Jackie. Yay!

Ew, rat. Not a good companion for the food items.

I still think that if they want a Triangle and Class/Race Issues, Logan/Veronica/Weevil was exponentially the better way to go.

Cassidy/Mac was adorable. They have the potential to be massively successful rich 09ers in a happy marriage where Mac has occasional flings with small blonde girls. And if Cassidy isn't smart and ruthless enough to crush Kendall when she tries to run off with the money, Mac certainly is.

Bringing up the rear, Desperate Housewives Go, Gabby. Get that nun.
Lynette hoist with her own petard.
Susan really is annoying.
Loved, loved, loved Bree letting George die. Go girl. Also her breakdown in the lift - good acting.
