I think you should just remain on the water all night.

That said, will the announcement come right at the end? Can't we have a crying-limo ride a la Bachelor? Could they announce say with 15 minutes to go, and then have "We are the Champions" medley.

Besides, what does it matter even if you see the last 10 minutes. The precise moment will be replayed on your Fox news channel later tonight.

Nina should come back and kill some more people with credit card fragments.

Most of the episode was anticlimactic. The scene at the stadium, Marie's lame threat, the VP/Pres reversal, Palmer's forgiveness, Mike's termination, etc. were all kind of rote. Even the very last scene was totally predictable. The only moment I really loved was when Kim held Jack's hand and he had this little smile on his face. It was very subtle and said so much. I think Kiefer should win an Emmy.

Actually, I was hoping that when Jack held out his hand and said "K" that he would finish by saying "Kate."

This would be slightly absurd and unsentimental. Besides, Jack really deserves to get laid.

POTMY*. Although I'd like to think you were making fun at bilmore, the post works so much better if I'm your target.

I'm rather pleased with how it ended. Left the spin-off possibilities wide open. Plus, ya gotta love the nod to Trogdor the Burninator. Well, I gotta.

Joss told Slate that they didn't want to choose which characters to spin off too soon or based solely on which actors had empty dancecards. Giving every potential slayer the power is actually a pretty cool idea for a high-budget spin off. Xander, Willow and/or (ick) Dawn and Andrew can travel the globe, finding them all in exotic places and gathering them unto a new, hipper Watcher's Council. I wonder whether they'll modify the Angel mythology to accomodate this. Of course, I would have been happier if Anya had lived to be with them, 'cause Andrew is a poor substitute. Or they could just have a spin-off in which Faith takes another slice of Principal Wood's schnitzengruben.

Leaving aside his acting ability, Kiefer has become very hot. When he was younger (i.e. jilted-by-Julia Roberts days) he was never this attractive. Maybe it is the whole "weary man of action" thing he has going on these days.

Does it still work as POTMfY if she is sincere?

That's it exactly. Kiefer is a fucking MAN.

Can someone tell me how Spike is going to be able to move over to Angel given the events of last night.

All hail Trogdor the Burninator.

Annika says... “When I accepted the invitation, I must have been very naive,” Sorenstam said, looking out at some 300 people at her news conference. “I’m doing this to test myself, and I didn’t think everybody else wanted to test me at the same time.”

And... “I like to compare myself maybe with a mountain climber,” she said. “This will be Mount Everest for me, and I believe I have practiced for this for years. I feel like I have nothing to lose. Nobody expects anything from me.” I think she's wrong here - if no one expected anything, no one would care that she's there.

And this is my favorite... “It’s funny. Suddenly, everybody is an expert on my game and how I think,” she said. “And some of them have never seen me play.”

When I saw the interview last night - she seems genuinely surprised at the Total Amount of Attention she is getting. I think she expected a circus, but not the Sigfried and Roy/Michael Jackson levels of attention.

And putting her with a couple of rookies who seem to like her was great. Wilson wore a “Go Annika” button that is being sold for $3 in the pro shop at Colonial, although he won’t wear it when the tournament starts. He has watched Sorenstam play, and has no qualms with her spot in the field, or his place in her group.
“It’s exciting; it’s history,” he said. “And it’s a privilege to be part of it.” At least he knows he's part of "her" group.

Umm. Isn't he the focus of the show and isn't she is like the anorexic foil? This is like Ally McBeal without Ally and Fish and Biscuit etc. Not that I like the Practice, but this seems like a stupid(er than normal) idea. I have always hated the Practice because 1) they win about every criminal case 2) almost all their clients are innocent 3) their lawfirm sucks. I mean, it seriously sucks. There is a shouting match in every episode. Who the hell would want to work there. And why is everyone, including the secretary, an equity partner?

ABC told David Kelley that it would either be cancelled, or renewed at half the per-episode fee it was earning this year. When they chose renewal, Kelley decided to give ABC "the show they were paying for, and nothing more," or words to that effect.

The problem is that ABC is a distant fourth in the ratings and there's not enough money to go around. I expect Practice to get cancelled midseason next year. They didn't help matters by moving it from Sunday to Monday this year (though arguably it was a dying show anyway).

More proof that ABC is being run by a bunch of Chunderheads.

Clearly Abba took microeconomics as as young-Abba. Or else she has unwittingly demonstrated an important principle therefrom.

Did you notice the comment about the hellmouth in Cleveland? There was an episode where we first meet Anya where Cordelia wishes Buffy had never come to Sunnydale. In that alternate reality Buffy was in Cleveland. I am a total dork for remembering this.
