"Now that I'm home, I can confirm that I will be coming on to Stargate Atlantis for a few episodes. I still have no idea who I'm playing, but I do know it's female. I hope. Anyway, I'm really excited to be going back, and they're a great bunch of people and—major plus!!—it shoots at home! So watch for that next season."

FOXNews.com - 'Studio 60%u2019 Cancellation Imminent - Celebrity Gossip | Entertainment News | Arts And Entertainment: "Here we go: despite receiving an order for three more episodes on Friday, the Aaron Sorkin NBC drama 'Studio 60 on Sunset Strip' is about to be put out of its misery.
Cast members are already confiding in friends that the end is near. It's likely NBC will pull the plug shortly I am told by insiders.
Last week, Studio 60 had 7.7 million viewers. Compare that with competing 'CSI: Miami,' with 17.5 million. That gap cannot be closed."

However many weeks we are into the season, and I’m finding
myself less and less enthused about the show being hailed as the best show on
TV: Battlestar Galactica.
Everything that I loved about it is still there: it’s fantastically
written, acted, produced, and all that.
Particularly compared to the original series (which is, after all,
complete shit), it’s great to see a genre series that takes itself as seriously
and has as much to say as, say, HBO’s The Wire. And while I made the comment in an earlier entry that it
shouldn’t be written off just
because it’s sci fi, I’m finding myself drifting away because it’s
unrelentingly grim.
Don’t get me wrong.
I’m not saying that they should try to find the lighter side of genocide
and terrorism and closed-minded fundamentalism and war. I’m just saying that watching it, week
after week, with no glimmer of hope or happiness, is starting to wear me
down. Maybe I just need to be sure
I’m awake enough at the end of it to watch my recording of Men in Trees
immediately afterward, just to cheer me back up.
