    Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode: "Entropy"
    News: Great episode!  I am ecstatic!  Early in the ep, Buffy refuses to help Anya curse Xander because she is his friend and she loves him.  Okay, so Spike and Anya get drunk and sleep together because they are both in misery over Buffy and Xander, respectively.  Buffy, Xander, and everyone witness the "event" through a camera they discover in the Magic Box, where the "event" happened.  So, Xander is extremely upset, and he goes to kill Spike.  Buffy follows him, and gets there just in time to stop him from staking Spike.  Xander is sickened by Anya's sleeping with Spike.  Then, Spike lets it slip, and quite purposefully, that Buffy had been sleeping with him for a while.  Xander looks like he's about to cry, throw up, and die all at once.  Then he drops his stake and walks off.  Yay!  I mean, it's all very upsetting, but the fact that this upsets Xander is a good starting point for some B/X goodness!  NEXT WEEK: Buffy and Xander spend some quality time together over a gunshot wound, and they work out some stuff.
    JAG episode: "Tribunal"
    News: Cool!  The episode itself was pretty fun, and at the beginning, Harm and Mac had dinner together at Harm's place to "discuss the case."  They did discuss business, but there was this silly, adorable scene where they both leaned down to get something on the floor, and they bumped heads!  They got giggly, and their heads were very close to together.  I'm pretty sure there was some UST there...  Overall, good ep with some nice Harm/Mac banter.  I like it when they work together on a case.
    Gilmore Girls episode: "Teach Me Tonight"
    News: Erm, nothing good.  Luke and Lorelai are now officially fighting.  And it's all Jess' fault.  If he hadn't shown up, he wouldn't have messed with Rory, and Lorelai and Luke might be smooching right now!  OH, and CHRISTOPHER is back.  Bad news, folks.  Real bad.
    Smallville episode: "Drone"
    News: My, but Lana and Clark spend a lot of time together!  It was lovely!  Lana convinced Clark to continue running for President because she told him that he's honest, trustworthy, and has an innate sense of justice.  Clark saves her from the killer bees, and they work on his speech together.  He tries to encourage her in keeping the Talon running.  At the end, even though he loses the election, she makes him read his speech for her when they are alone in the barn.  CUTE.  They just keep spending more and more time together, and she keeps giving him those LOOKS.  You know the ones I mean.  It's so silly!  I just wanna scream and throw things at the TV: "Just kiss him, for cryin' out loud!"
    Roswell episode: "Crash"
    News: Um, okay.  Some cute Max/Liz stuff, but absolutely no Kyle.  He was just not there.  I missed him.  Good ep, though.  I can't wait for the next episode.

    Angel episode: "The Price"
    News: Whew!  Okay, so Cordy is now back and totally in the old swing of things except for one tiny detail: Groo is still hanging around.  However, in this excellent episode, Cordy and Angel have a venting session.  Cordy gets Angel to talk briefly about his feelings of frustration about losing Connor, and we finally see Cordy get upset about the whole situation.  She is mad at Angel for not calling her, and she misses Connor.  Then, later on, Fred wants Cordy to talk to Angel about Wesley, but Cordelia says she won't because Angel's feelings are all she cares about.  Angel is her priority.  Groo overhears her!  Of course, she tries to assuage his uneasiness by saying something about Angel being her "work" priority and Groo being her "other stuff" priority, but it still feels a little bit off.  So, the rift between Groo and Cordy is beginning to form!  In the end, Cordy stays with Angel to fight off the evil slug things that have invaded the hotel while everyone else goes to get more help.  Cordy uses her demon powers to kill the slugs!  She gets very glowy and pretty and then the slugs are gone.  Yay!  AND...at the very end, Connor appears in the Hyperion lobby through the portal Angel opened with his black magic spell in "Forgiving."  Connor wants to kill Angel!  Scary...

    Dark Angel episode: "Love Among The Runes"
    News: AUUUGGGHHH!!!!  Okay, so throughout this very intense episode, Max is pining for Logan, and Logan is depressed as all get out.  Alec finally finds out about Max's little ruse, and he decides not to say anything to Logan and continues to let Logan think that Alec and Max are together.  It kinda breaks my heart the way that Max looks at Logan.  She loves him so much, but she has to push him away to keep him safe.  As far as the Agent White stuff goes, Max is special, very special.  We find out all about Sandeman, and I am very excited to see how this stuff turns out.  Maybe they'll find a cure for the virus somehow!  Probably not, but I can hope, can't I?  Oh, and Sketchy knows about Max and Alec being transgenic!  Yikes!
    Dark Angel episode 4/19/02: "She Ain't Heavy"
    News: Max was going to leave town to save her friends, but she decides not to when she realizes that Seattle is her home.  It was interesting to see the interaction between X5-452 (Max) and X5-453 (not Max).  453 was devoted to her husband and child, and although Max never said anything, we know that she feels the same way about Logan and her friends.

4/25/02
    Friends episode: "The One With The Baby Shower"
    News: I don't normally post news for Friends, but big things, big Ross/Rachel things, might be happening, so...
    ER episode: "Brothers & Sisters"
    News: Whoa!  Okay, so now, according to Abby, she and Carter are an "us."  They haven't done anything yet, but Abby definitely said something about "us."  Carter was upset with Luka and Abby the whole episode because Abby is drinking again and Luka doesn't seem to care.  Carter's concern was lovely, and Abby's admission of the "us" thing was great!  Can't wait for next week!

4/24/02
    Enterprise episode: "Detained"
    News: Hmm.  Average episode, but I loved the tension between Trip and T'Pol.  Not UST at all, but tension.  I think it's fun to watch them fight over command decisions.  This time, it was about whether they ought to mount a rescue(Trip wanted to) for Mayweather and Archer(T'Pol didn't).  Fun.

4/23/02
    Gilmore Girls episode: "Back In The Saddle Again"
    News: Hmm.  Not really anything for Luke/Lorelai this time.  And things to come don't look too promising, either.  Luke and Lorelai will get into a feud of sorts over the whole Jess/Rory thing.  Grr.
    Smallville episode: "Reaper"
    News: HEE!  Kinda scary episode, but there was some Supportive!Clark when Lana was worried about Whitney's dad being sick.  There were, of course, some little looks shared, and we got SweetAndGenerous!Clark when he got Lex to help Whitney and his dad experience their dream of Whitney playing football with the Metropolis Sharks.  Lana caught on to this fact really quickly, and she stared at Clark for a few moments before she kissed him on the cheek!  That makes three cheek kisses, a "possessed" kiss, and and two almost-kisses for Clark/Lana this season!  Now, if only Whitney and Chloe would disappear off the face of the Earth...
    Roswell episode: "Who Died And Made You King?"
    News: Wow.  I was quite into this episode, and that's saying something, considering the, ahem, quality of Roswell of late.  Nothing for Kyle/Isabel except that he was very concerned for her, as usual.  Also, Max/Liz may be tentatively starting up again.  I don't know, really.  The whole death thing kinda put a weird strain on the relationship.  I'm really excited about the final three episodes of the series.  I think this show has run its course, so it has to go out with a bang!

4/22/02
    Angel episode: "Double Or Nothing"
    News: Welllllll...there was definitely some nice C/A stuff, but not nearly as much as I'd hoped.  See, Cordy did come back and she did go comfort Angel over the loss of Connor, but Groo is still hanging around, and from the looks of it, he'll be sticking around for a while...kinda like a scab.  Anyway, she gave him this little hug and said that she was "just here."  Then she sat with him all day, just to be with him.  When he finally opened up to her (TO HER!), she was totally there for him.  It was wonderful to have her back again.  I am a bit worried about the future of C/A, though...

4/18/02
    Dark Angel episode: "She Ain't Heavy"
    News: WILL WILL WILL WATCH AND POST. :)

    No new episodes!

4/16/02
    Gilmore Girls episode: "Dead Uncles And Vegetables"
    News: Wooooooohoooooo!  Finally, something of note!  Luke's uncle dies, and Lorelai is right there with him, assuring him that he won't end up a miserable, lonely old man.  Their interaction was friendly and adorable enough, but it is Emily Gilmore that provides the true gem in the episode.  She mentions that Lorelai will be having her wedding reception in the diner because she will inevitably end up marrying Luke.  Lorelai, of course, firmly denies that she and Luke are anything but good friends, but Emily persists, saying quite petulantly that Luke and Lorelai are a "match made in heaven."  HA!  It was a really fun episode.  I enjoyed it very much.
    Smallville episode: "Stray"
    News: Hmm, minor thing, but still important.  A kid who reads minds is staying with Clark's family, and he reads what Lana's "secret" is.  He tries to tell Clark what it is, saying that it's about Clark, but our favorite farm boy refuses to hear it.  At the end of the ep, the kid tries again, saying "Are you sure you don't want to know how Lana feels about you?" and grinning like an idiot.  Clark says that he'd rather find out for himself.  I was mad.  I wanted to know! :)  NOTE: Chloe's feelings for Clark, thanks to the dumb kid who read her mind, are now out in the open and completely known to Clark.  This is really, really worrying me. :(

4/15/02
    Angel episode: "Forgiving"
    News: Well, because Cordy was still (still!) not back, there wasn't much.  However, Angel was quite adamant about not calling Cordy and upsetting her with the news about Connor and Wesley and everything.  NEXT WEEK: Cordy's very emotional return. :)

4/12/02
    Dark Angel episode: "Dawg Day Afternoon"
    News: I.  Hate.  Myself.  I.  Hate.  Myself.  I.  Forgot.  To.  Tape.  It.

4/9/02
    JAG episode: "Port Chicago"
    News: Good episode, very interesting, but still no signs of anything shippy whatsoever.  Come on, DPB!  You might start to lose viewers!
    Gilmore Girls episode: "There's The Rub"
    News: For the first time in a very long time, a new episode.  It was extremely entertaining watching Lorelai and Emily banter and fight and joke.  "Vicious Trollop," indeed.  Rory and Paris are friends again.  What does any of this have to do with Luke/Lorelai shippiness?  Nothing.  That's because the whole ep was devoid of L/L goodness.  Next week's ep looks much more promising, however!

4/8/02
    No new episodes!  Angel is back next Monday the 15th with an all-new episode, "Forgiving."  Angel will continue to run uninterrupted new episodes for the next six weeks!  Yay!

4/5/02
    Dark Angel episode: "Hello, Goodbye"
    News: Not good, not good, not good...  Max and Logan are, according to Max, officially over.  She's doing it supposedly for his safety.  She kind of lied to him and made him think that she and Alec are doin' the nasty.  UGH.  It's annoying, because they are both clearly still in love with each other, but their silly senses of nobility keep getting in the way.  Also, on a side note, I'm liking the idea of Asha/Alec more and more...
 

4/4/02
    ER episode: "Orion In The Sky"
    News: SAD!  Mark is leaving the show, and this was his last ep working in the hospital.  No Carter/Abby stuff, but I'm patiently waiting. :)

4/3/02
    Enterprise episode: "Oasis"
    News: I have not enjoyed an episode of Enterprise this much since the 'pecan pie' ep back in the beginning of the season.  Okay, so the crew is trying to fix this crashed ship with people who are, of course, acting weird.  However, Trip meets a young, beautiful woman among them and gets to know her.  T'Pol(!!!) proceeds to remind him of the last time he got involved with an alien woman.  The conversation between Trip and T'Pol about the issue was hilarious.  Then, when Trip gets called to a meeting about the people, he thinks it's because he's in trouble for cozying up to the alien girl.  He says to Archer: "Aw, did T'Pol say somethin' to you?" and he didn't get much farther than that because Archer interrupted to tell him that the meeting had nothing to do with that.  FUNNY.
    Enterprise episode 3/27: "Acquisition"
    News: OMG.  First of all, it was very enjoyable watching Trip run around in his underwear for the first half of the ep, and second of all, I got a huge kick out of the fact that when Trip woke T'Pol up from the Ferengi-induced sleep, the first thing she saw was Trip in his underpants!  She kinda made a funny face, and Trip was like 'oh, grow up.'  T'Pol was generally very funny in this episode.  She pretended to be attracted to a Ferengi in order to knock him out.  I couldn't stop laughing.
    Enterprise episode 3/20: "Rogue Planet"
    News: Erm, not much.  T'Pol ribbed Archer a little, but that was pretty much the most enjoyable part of the episode.  Not much T/T stuff.

4/2/02
    No new episodes!  Roswell returns to finish up the show on April 23rd.

4/1/02
    No new episodes!  Angel returns with all-new episodes on the 15th of April!  I can't wait!
