She was alive again by the end of the ep. Was there another death I'm blanking on?

Those were the two deaths. They had no idea if the show would be picked up when they filmed the first season, and I think that episode was a perfect ecapsulation of the series and was a damned good episode on top of that. Perfect season finale.

Glory bugs the shit out of me too, but it was a great finale. That was filmed/written when they weren't sure whether or not UPN would pick up the series. I liked Buffy dead at the end of the episode, and given the train wreck that was the Glory/Ben plotline, it ended fairly well.

I did watch ER last night too (a show I used to watch), but I haven't watched it regularly in a long time. It could be that last night was the only episode I've seen of this season -- and Thandie Newton is a babe.

The last couple of years have been really good. There were a few years there in the middle that were pretty so-so, but the last three years were way above average. The episode with Freddie Prinze Jr. (I think that's the guy -- the one who plays Fred in the Scooby Doo movies) as the male nanny was hilarious.

Go ahead, tease me mercilessly for liking a tv show. I can take it.

So did you like the finale? I found it pat and contrived. Not to mention overly emotional for the characters considering that no one was really going anywhere except that Monica and Chandler were (gasp!) moving to a house.

Men care more about bodies (as opposed to faces) than women do. That doesn't mean that men don't care about faces, they do. They just give more weight to the woman's body than a woman gives to a woman's body when assessing level of attractiveness.

Men find a sexier look more attractive than women do.

Yes.

And I'm off the Aniston train. She used to be attractive, but her face is TOO defined now. She has that Jack Nicholson as the Joker smile going on.

Hot in the mid-90s though.

Weird. I thought her face looked sort of pudgy last night. The bangs were awful and did nothing for her face. It seemed like they were curled under circa 1985. Ugh.

The only bit that worked for me was the ripping apart of the foosball table. Not that I will admit to having watched it, but my wife is a fan.

I didn't see it last night. I was referring to her face over the past year or so.

I'm just happy that the "Friends" time slot will be replaced by "Scrubs," so I'll know when it's actually on. Is it me, or was it being moved around a lot?

Well for the most part it sucked because it was so predictable and it took an hour to develop a half hour story line. Saying goodbye - again?!? Wasn't that last week? And yes we needed to see Ross and Rachel finally be adults and admit that they love each other. So many people in real life do this - they hold back because they don't to be the one who gets hurt. The twins story line - meh. And Phoebe, no closure, nothing for Phoebes. So out of 10 it gets a 5 for season enders. Mainly because 2 years of hype was hard to live up to. Newhart ender - the best. Pulling in the Dallas ridiculous dream sequence was great.

Brown shoes, brown belt, black watchband?

The last year was good in the fact that many people came to realize they are who they are. Carter has accepted the fact that he's rich and can help people. Carrie has come to accept her lifestyle. Abby finally decided to do something with her life and not try to live it through her family ando/or others. Luka knows that he's a man slut.

It would bug the crap out of me, if it were on me, but I probably wouldn't notice on another person unless the watch were really obvious and flashy.

(And sorry all about the Mojito thing - I've been in and out and didn't see it pop up before).

I would not even notice that. But then I've been known to carry a black purse with brown shoes. So don't listen to me if you are paranoid about that sort of thing.

I do this all the time. I have no idea if it's a faux pas. I hope it is.
