Not much going on today. New Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars last night, both pretty good.
On the former, it turns out that now the only storyline I care about is Luke's fight to get custody of April, a sure instance of the Willa Holland Phenomenon. I really don't care about Lorelai's continued unwillingness to grow the fuck up. The Lane pregnancy is only so-so -- most of that subplot was annoying last night, but the scene with Zack and the grocery bags was actually very affecting. Keiko Agena's fat suit looks really weird and fake, which is distracting. Please stop me from saying something harsh about the actress who plays (actresses who play?) G.G. Trying to stop on my own . . . the "cookies made from scratching" bit was actually funny.
Veronica Mars was a Mac episode, which is great. I think, based on interviews Rob Thomas gave about the first two seasons, the problem is money: Thomas is only budgeted for a certain number of episodes for most of the so-called regulars -- hence not much of Mac or Weevil, no Wallace last night . . . Anyway, last night was light-weight but enjoyable. Glad that Mac got the cute PHAT guy -- I actually pegged the lab boy as Mac's love interest. By the way, Tina Majorino is really good on Big Love, opposite Amanda Seyfried (aka Lilly Kane) -- weird that Majorino and Seyfried never shared scenes on Veronica Mars.
New Friday Night Lights tonight . . .
