Lightning post.
I watched the show Chuck, and I think it's adorable and really funny. Jayne from Firefly is in it! Woo! But that's a side note. I like the guy who plays Chuck a lot more. I'll do a real post about it later. Probably next week I will, when the next episode is on. I reallllllly hope it doesn't get cancelled... I'm not sure why it would, but whatever. I think I'm going to cut out Private Practice because Chuck is better, and I'm starting to think I am overloading myself with TV shows. And Private Practice will get cancelled anyway, so I might as well not bother with it.

I don't usually like the villain best, so this'll take some getting used to
First thing: I hate you NBC.com. Watching shows on you is so difficult. With Bionic Woman, the show is practically muted, so I have to turn the volume all the way up on my computer, and then it gets monstrously loud when the stupid ad comes on. Second most frustrating thing ever. Most frustrating thing ever is how the episode kept freezing.
Okay, so Bionic Woman. I'm up in the air about it at the moment. I'm sort of confused, actually. I don't know what's going on. All I know is, I'm going to keep watching it whether I like it or not, based on these two things:
1. Katee Sackhoff
2. The bionic women are named Jamie and Sarah.
I don't really get why Jamie was crying all over herself and flipping out over the bionic stuff. I mean, I guess the initial shock would be pretty bad - but after that? Why would she be upset that she has new limbs and stuff that look the same as they did before? She looks fine! Chill out lady! Why are you crying in the bathtub? You're basically a superhero now. And I really, really rolled my eyes when she was standing on the roof, and then she jumped over it or whatever. EXACTLY like Spiderman. It was the same scene.
The biggest thing I'm confused about - is the boyfriend dead? Because at the beginning of the episode, I thought he was going to bite it really early on - you know, like in Alias. But then he didn't, he was the scientist guy who fixed her up. But then at the end, Starbuck shoots him in the chest. So is he still alive, or...? I think so, because when they finally took him in an ambulance, they turned the siren on. It's just that no one really seemed all that concerned about him. Not even Jamie. Who he had just slept with in a random and unnecessary sex scene. I feel like I missed a lot thanks to NBC.com's crappy video player. Whatever though.
Katee Sackhoff, I love you. I hate that you get all these cheesy lines. "Time out!" Please. I hope that stuff doesn't keep up... because you are better than that. And seriously, what is up with that Jamie girl asking "what do you want from me?" when she found you on the roof? Don't you think it would make a lot more sense for her to have asked you, "why'd you shoot my boyfriend?" She showed almost no emotion whatsoever. Didn't really make sense. But, ok. And you seem kind of messed up emotionally. "Tell me you love me," you keep saying. I'm sure it's supposed to be sad but all I can think of whenever you say that is this video.
Chief Tyrol?!
I also noticed Baltar's lawyer is the boyfriend's dad, who was in prison. I also noticed that you couldn't really see how short that guy is. He is really short. He's in a few episodes of Firefly and he is just tiny. They didn't really let you know that when he was on Battlestar Galactica, and they don't let you see it here either. But I just think it's funny. Because seriously, he is short.
I CAN'T STAND Jamie's sister. She is such a brat. I don't like her at all. Am I supposed to like her? I don't know. Get back to me on that, writers. If I'm not supposed to like her then you're doing a great job.
I really have no idea what was going on in this episode. The more I think about it the more irritated I get, because it's due to the fact that the player kept freezing and I kept having to restart it and find my place again and I wasn't able to pay as much attention to it. All I really know for sure is that Katee Sackhoff is swell. So I'm going to keep watching, and hope that it gets somewhat better in terms of writing (and that NBC.com improves their idiot video player).

the verdict is in
Journeyman: awesome.
It's like Quantam Leap meets The Time Traveler's Wife. Good combination, if you ask me. Spoilers ahead, obviously.
Dan, who is the "journeyman," is somehow being transported through time. This causes problems for him, obviously, and everyone assumes he is on drugs. They even stage an intervention for him. Which I thought was pretty funny. He randomly jumps through time, back and forth from the present to the past, leaping from life to life, putting things right that once went wrong, and hoping each time the next leap will be the leap home... oh, I mean, no. I'm getting confused. That's not quite what happens. But he does have to fix something that happened wrong. In the pilot episode, he has to save the life of a kid named... James? Was that it? He has to save this kid from being murdered - he convinces the mom to keep the baby, and he prevents the dad from killing him later on when the mom is leaving the dad and taking the son with him. We find out in the end that the kid is a super genius, basically, and he saved the lives of a bunch of people who were in a bus crash. (I think it was a bus.) "It was all about saving the kid's life," as he says. Only he says the kid's name, but I can't remember that.
In the middle of that, he has to prove to his family that he isn't actually on drugs, or drinking, or whatever it is they think he's doing when he's gone. Because he just vanishes, sometimes for hours, sometimes for days. He just appears or disappears anywhere at any time. And then one day, he went to the library and the librarian there knew him and told him she'd known him since she was a little girl, and that she knew they were going to get married one day. Oh - no, that's... that's wrong again. Sorry. Um, no, he's married to this lady, who is named... Katie. Yeah. That's it. (Not Clare.) He tried to tell her that he was time traveling, and she was like "no. You are on crack. There is no other explanation." And lo, there was much frustration. But it actually ended up being okay, because the next time Dan went back to the past he took Katie's wedding ring, got a box, put the ring in with a newspaper from that time period (which was 1997), and buried it in the backyard of the house he would eventually live in with his family. He goes home finally after saving the bus kid, and when he gets there, Katie is really mad, because he's been gone a long time, and she's so ready to start a fight right there, but Dan is all "hold on, okay" and he gets a shovel out of the closet (closet?) and goes in the backyard. Katie is thinking he is even crazier than before. Dan, standing on this nice stone patio, is like, "when did we put this patio in?" She says, "right when we moved in..." and then he starts hacking away at it. And Katie goes "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" and Dan says, "saving my marriage," and Katie says, "not really!" But then he digs up the box with her wedding ring in it, gives it to her, and all is well with everyone, except for me, because the entire time that was happening they were playing a song by The Fray.
I think this show is awesome and has a lot of great potential. I love time travel stories, and I like all the characters so far, except the wife actually, she bothers me a little... but I don't know. It's only been one episode. But I'm really interested in finding out what went on in the pasts of these people, because Dan kept running into this girl Livia, and you find out he was engaged to her, and that she apparently died in a plane crash, and he shows up at this restaurant where his past self is having an engagement lunch with his brother and... Katie. Katie and his brother are together in the past, and he's engaged to Olivia. So what went on there...? Livia dies, Katie leaves the brother and marries Dan. It's pretty obvious that she's in love with Dan in the past, even though she's with his brother. It seems sort of complicated. But interesting!
And THEN, SUDDENLY, Dan is doing something in the past, and he just left Livia in his old apartment, and he goes down the stairs and runs into... LIVIA? And he's all, "how did you get...?" And she goes "Come over here. NOW" and runs into this alley thing, and then you see... Livia... leaving the apartment. So! It would seem that not only is Livia NOT DEAD in the present, but she is also one of these time-challenged people who are jumping around. She goes, "Do you know why you're here?" and Dan goes, "The never found the body, so does that mean you're alive? Did you even get on that plane? Are you like a ghost or something?" and she's like, "I don't think I'm supposed to be here" and runs out another door and then there's the flash of light that means she left to go to another time. Dan is very confused, but that's all you hear about on the subject in this episode.
So add this to the long, long list of shows I'm watching this year. You should watch it too. Good stuff so far.

one other thing
So everyone knows what Peter can do, right? He absorbs everybody's power, which more or less makes him the guy with the coolest power, because he can do everything. And everybody, or at least everybody who thinks Peter is dead, knows that he was around Claire a lot. And in case you forgot, Claire can regenerate after she gets hurt and stuff. I mean, she got a branch stuck in her head, died, they took her to the morgue, cut her open for an autopsy... and she survived. She was lying on a table in the MORGUE. She was all sliced open and gross looking, but she lived. She was able to heal after they took the branch out of her head. So Peter has that power. Right? Following? Ok, so, fast forward to the episode last season where Mohinder brought a "dead" Peter to the other Petrellis. He had a shard of glass stuck in his head and looked completely dead. But we, in the audience, were all going "just take the glass shard out of his head! Come on! He'll be fine!" Remember that? And then Claire was like "oh, a glass shard, let's take that out" and she did, and then Peter woke up? And he was fine? Remember? Well apparently no one else remembers that. Because if they remembered that they would know that Peter could not possibly be dead. He can't die! Unless, I guess, he blew up into a bizillion little pieces, but we also know that didn't happen, because in the future, the messed up one from last season where the bomb did go off and Sylar was president, Peter had blown up, and he had lived. Okay... so where are the people on the show getting "Peter is dead, waaah" from. HE ISN'T DEAD! I mean, even without knowing that Milo Ventimiglia is still on the show I could have told you that!
I don't know why I'm so fixated on this. It is probably just a plot point, and nothing else. Kind of like "well, Spiderman got bitten by a radioactive spider, and that's how he got his powers" but really, how did the spider become radioactive? And what retard scientist let a radioactive spider run amok in a lab where high school students are going to be in the near future? Or like how the Fantastic Four got their powers from being in a solar flare, or something. Why wouldn't that have just... you know... killed 'em? I mean shouldn't it have just killed them? From radiation poisoning? I think maybe yes, it should have. At least that's more likely than all of them becoming superheroes. Anyway, it probably doesn't matter why they all think Peter's dead, just that they do think that. It just means that everybody is a lot dumber than I previously thought.

tv entertainment on the internet!!!!
After having some serious beef with NBC.com for repeatedly freezing about three minutes into the episode, I finally got to watch the premiere of Heroes online. And I think this season is going to be better than the first one. There are so many places it can go. I love this show because it's basically a comic book - so anything I find unrealistic, or any "wow, high school is not like that" situations for Claire or "wow, someone would totally have noticed Mohinder shoving that guy into the wall in real life" moments are excused for that reason. And just like in real comic books, no villain is ever really destroyed, and no character is ever really dead. It's filmed the way a comic book is written and drawn, and it is so awesome for that.
(Spoilers if you keep going.)
My first shock was seeing Nathan lookin' all grody with a beard and wandering around like a homeless guy. My second shock was "wait, isn't he supposed to be dead?" Because I totally thought he was dead. I thought that was what the whole "I will fly you, Peter, up to the sky to blow up instead of you blowing up the city of New York." I thought it was a sacrifice made for the greater good. "I open at the close," and all that. Well, apparently not. Nathan lived to beard another day. I mean die. Die another day. Just like James Bond. Only... with more emotional issues and less chicks in bathing suits. A lot less. I'm sort of confused about the whole "Peter's dead" thing that everyone and their mom believes (get it). If Peter really is alive, which of course he is (duh. what a stupid idea), then wouldn't Nathan, you know, know? I mean, wasn't he like, holding him when he blew up...? I'm just saying. I guess maybe he could have like, thrown him up into the air, or something, and then Nathan flew away from the explosion, and Peter just disappeared, but um, that isn't clear. (Also, what I didn't really get from last season was, why couldn't Peter have just flown himself up into space to blow up...?) Anyway, of course Peter's not dead. Duh. My guess is that he's chained up somewhere in a warehouse in like, Ireland, or something. And he has amnesia! HAHAHAHA - oh... okay. That's fine. As long as he's shirtless!
Hiro's in the past and he meets the samurai guy, who is... Sark? SARK FROM ALIAS?? OH MY GOSH I LOVE SARK FROM ALIAS!!!!! SARK WITH HIS CUTE PUPPY DOG FACE AND ACCENT AND MURDEROUS PLOTS!!!! AWWWW!!!!!!!!!! He's the samurai...? O...kay. Whatever. Sark. From Alias. Anyway - moving on: I love Hiro and how frustrated he got with him. "This is going to be tough." Ha ha Hiro, as a goat licks your face. I'm really looking forward to that storyline. It'll be neat to see Hiro turn Sark into a... um... hero, and have him get with Mulan. And you know you were thinking "Mulan" too, I mean, when the girl grabbed the sword and was all "if Sark's not going to save my dad, I WILL!" Yeah. You were. Also I really loved that both Hiro and Sark were like "my sword!" Yeah. Not a coherent paragraph, but that is Sark's fault. (SARK FROM ALIAS!!!!!!!)
Well, I think my new favorite character might be that guy West, who almost ran Claire over with his car. Yep. I thought that from the first time I saw him on the screen. I was like, "oooh... who's THAT guy." And I knew that he was going to show up again, because they spent a little more time than necessary on his face when he was like "look where you're going" to Claire. And I was right! There he is in Claire's chemistry class. Was that chemistry? Why were they talking about Darwin in a chemistry class, exactly? Whatever, I almost failed chemistry so I guess I wouldn't know. Anyway - I totally want him and Claire to hook up. And guess what? They're going to! Duh! But get this! I think I have a radar for this kind of thing, because I decided I loved him from all the times he was bugging Claire at school, and then at the end OMG HE IS FLYING OUTSIDE CLAIRE'S WINDOW STALKING HER JUST LIKE SUPERMAN STALKS LOIS. WEST IS SUPERMAN. SUPERMAN! SUPERMAN IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! WEST IS SO AWESOME!!!! Caps lock and exclamation points do not fully express my feelings on this subject!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to say that even though Mr. Bennett started out as a real douche last season, I really like him now. He is such a good dad, even if he is making Claire be boring. He is much better than stupid Nathan. "Why are you calling me." UM, I don't know, because I'm your daughter?! That's what you should have said, Claire. Not a bunch of crap about how you can't be someone you're not, and how you miss Peter too but you need to just like, get over it. PETER IS NOT DEAD GUYS! HE'S LOCKED UP SOMEWHERE! IN IRELAND! WITH AMNESIA! JUST WAIT UNTIL THE LAST SCENE OKAY?
I'm not sure I'm all that interested in the two new characters they introduced - the Spanish ones. But I hope they show their illegal immigration. I don't want them to just skip over that. I want to know how that works. It can't actually be that hard, if it's such a problem. I guess the girl has some kind of Hulk power, only instead of turning into a big green monster when she gets pissed off, she kills everyone. Kind of a sucky power... I mean, Ted from last season's sucked because he was radioactive and that killed people, but at least he could shoot fireballs at people. This girl Maya just makes people bleed from their eyeballs, and that's just disgusting.
I am freaked out by that little girl. Those drawings were totally disturbing. And so was the music they played when Weiss from Alias was looking at them... Oh!!! I almost forgot, now there are two people from Alias on Heroes! Sark AND Weiss! Yay for them! Only they never really shared scenes on Alias! And it looks like they probably won't share any scenes on Heroes either. So it's not really a reunion at all, except for my eyes. Anyway - that part was creepy. I'm sure the guy who is dream-stalking her is the new Sylar for this season. Only WORSE.
So Mr. Sulu is dead. I guess that's sad, because now we don't get to hear about whatever his legacy is that he gets to pass on to Hiro. But actually, we probably will, because guess what? Hiro can travel through time! So he can go talk to his dad if he wants. Oh and I guess he could like, go back in time and prevent his dad from ever dying, but whatever. It's been done. He can just ask Mrs. Petrelli. I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEIR POWERS ARE. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Why don't they use them? I mean, they haven't even shown them using them even when nobody's looking. COME ON. I WANT TO KNOW.
About the last scene... were those Irish dudes looking for iPods? Is that really what they said? "Where are the iPods?" That's what I thought I heard. And like some chained up shirtless dude is going to know. Seriously, don't beat him up. If someone took a bunch of iPods, why would they chain themselves up in the place they stole them from, half naked and completely freaked out? Does he look like he has the iPods? Um... not really! He looks kind of traumatized actually! I don't think he needs you to hit him! Not like he can't defend himself. I mean, he's Peter. Peter can do anything. He is awesome. And not dead in case you couldn't tell.
Let us all take a moment of silence out of respect for Peter's beautiful hair, for it is gone, and it is very, very sad.
And let it be known that I want Christopher Eccleston back. Come back Claude.
I didn't see the preview for next week, because they don't show it online, because watching it online sucks. So every week it will be a surprise. Unless in a couple seconds, when I look on the NBC website, I find a link to the preview. Well... nope. No, NBC.com is being stupid once again. Fine, I don't care. I will just wait until next Tuesday.
I also watched The Bachelor and all I have to say so far is that he is not "the sexiest Bachelor ever." That's retarded. They say that every season. But this time the host guy even said to him, "people are saying you're the sexiest Bachelor... EVER. How does that make you feel?" and the guy's just like "...I don't know? Good? Thank you?" And everyone else is going "Andy was hotter." Because, well, he was.
I'm excited for all the shows to start up again. Guess what else starts this week? Grey's Anatomy! And... I'm going to watch it. Why? I don't know. Last season sucked. It suuuuuuuuuuucked. The finale was RIDICULOUS. So overdramatic and COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC. Barf. Meredith is brain damaged, because anybody who dumps Patrick Dempsey is automatically certifiable. And give me a break on that totally stupid George/Izzie relationship. That is STUPID. NO, George shouldn't have married Callie. He only did it because his dad, who died, liked her and said he should marry her. He didn't really love her. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S OKAY TO CHEAT ON HER!!!!!! UGHHHHH GEORGE! There are so many other things I want to complain about but I will save it until I watch the premiere. Because I am watching it. Because I feel obligated. Even if all I will do is ridicule it. Private Practice also starts this week, which is the Grey's spinoff about Addison. I'm watching that too, because I feel obligated. Also because... maybe, just maybe, it will be good the way Grey's was good in the beginning. (Probably not though.)
But here is the best news of all! Thursday! At 8 (Central time)! ONE HOUR PREMIERE OF THE OFFICE!! And four one hour episodes in a row. How awesome is that? Very, very awesome. I leave you with this:
(LOOK HOW HAPPY JIM AND PAM LOOK!!!!!!!)
(Spoilers if you keep going.)

(Also, what I didn't really get from last season was, why couldn't Peter have just flown himself up into space to blow up...?) Anyway, of course Peter's not dead. Duh. My guess is that he's chained up somewhere in a warehouse in like, Ireland, or something. And he has amnesia! HAHAHAHA - oh... okay. That's fine. As long as he's shirtless!
Hiro's in the past and he meets the samurai guy, who is... Sark? SARK FROM ALIAS?? OH MY GOSH I LOVE SARK FROM ALIAS!!!!! SARK WITH HIS CUTE PUPPY DOG FACE AND ACCENT AND MURDEROUS PLOTS!!!! AWWWW!!!!!!!!!! He's the samurai...? O...kay. Whatever. Sark. From Alias. Anyway - moving on: I love Hiro and how frustrated he got with him. "This is going to be tough." Ha ha Hiro, as a goat licks your face. I'm really looking forward to that storyline. It'll be neat to see Hiro turn Sark into a... um... hero, and have him get with Mulan. And you know you were thinking "Mulan" too, I mean, when the girl grabbed the sword and was all "if Sark's not going to save my dad, I WILL!" Yeah. You were. Also I really loved that both Hiro and Sark were like "my sword!" Yeah. Not a coherent paragraph, but that is Sark's fault. (SARK FROM ALIAS!!!!!!!)
Well, I think my new favorite character might be that guy West, who almost ran Claire over with his car. Yep. I thought that from the first time I saw him on the screen. I was like, "oooh... who's THAT guy." And I knew that he was going to show up again, because they spent a little more time than necessary on his face when he was like "look where you're going" to Claire. And I was right! There he is in Claire's chemistry class. Was that chemistry? Why were they talking about Darwin in a chemistry class, exactly? Whatever, I almost failed chemistry so I guess I wouldn't know. Anyway - I totally want him and Claire to hook up. And guess what? They're going to! Duh! But get this! I think I have a radar for this kind of thing, because I decided I loved him from all the times he was bugging Claire at school, and then at the end OMG HE IS FLYING OUTSIDE CLAIRE'S WINDOW STALKING HER JUST LIKE SUPERMAN STALKS LOIS. WEST IS SUPERMAN. SUPERMAN! SUPERMAN IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! WEST IS SO AWESOME!!!! Caps lock and exclamation points do not fully express my feelings on this subject!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to say that even though Mr. Bennett started out as a real douche last season, I really like him now. He is such a good dad, even if he is making Claire be boring. He is much better than stupid Nathan. "Why are you calling me." UM, I don't know, because I'm your daughter?! That's what you should have said, Claire. Not a bunch of crap about how you can't be someone you're not, and how you miss Peter too but you need to just like, get over it. PETER IS NOT DEAD GUYS! HE'S LOCKED UP SOMEWHERE! IN IRELAND! WITH AMNESIA! JUST WAIT UNTIL THE LAST SCENE OKAY?
I'm not sure I'm all that interested in the two new characters they introduced - the Spanish ones. But I hope they show their illegal immigration. I don't want them to just skip over that. I want to know how that works. It can't actually be that hard, if it's such a problem. I guess the girl has some kind of Hulk power, only instead of turning into a big green monster when she gets pissed off, she kills everyone. Kind of a sucky power... I mean, Ted from last season's sucked because he was radioactive and that killed people, but at least he could shoot fireballs at people. This girl Maya just makes people bleed from their eyeballs, and that's just disgusting.
I am freaked out by that little girl. Those drawings were totally disturbing. And so was the music they played when Weiss from Alias was looking at them... Oh!!! I almost forgot, now there are two people from Alias on Heroes! Sark AND Weiss! Yay for them! Only they never really shared scenes on Alias! And it looks like they probably won't share any scenes on Heroes either. So it's not really a reunion at all, except for my eyes. Anyway - that part was creepy. I'm sure the guy who is dream-stalking her is the new Sylar for this season. Only WORSE.
So Mr. Sulu is dead. I guess that's sad, because now we don't get to hear about whatever his legacy is that he gets to pass on to Hiro. But actually, we probably will, because guess what? Hiro can travel through time! So he can go talk to his dad if he wants. Oh and I guess he could like, go back in time and prevent his dad from ever dying, but whatever. It's been done. He can just ask Mrs. Petrelli. I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEIR POWERS ARE. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Why don't they use them? I mean, they haven't even shown them using them even when nobody's looking. COME ON. I WANT TO KNOW.
About the last scene... were those Irish dudes looking for iPods? Is that really what they said? "Where are the iPods?" That's what I thought I heard. And like some chained up shirtless dude is going to know. Seriously, don't beat him up. If someone took a bunch of iPods, why would they chain themselves up in the place they stole them from, half naked and completely freaked out? Does he look like he has the iPods? Um... not really! He looks kind of traumatized actually! I don't think he needs you to hit him! Not like he can't defend himself. I mean, he's Peter. Peter can do anything. He is awesome. And not dead in case you couldn't tell.
Let us all take a moment of silence out of respect for Peter's beautiful hair, for it is gone, and it is very, very sad.
And let it be known that I want Christopher Eccleston back. Come back Claude.
I didn't see the preview for next week, because they don't show it online, because watching it online sucks. So every week it will be a surprise. Unless in a couple seconds, when I look on the NBC website, I find a link to the preview. Well... nope. No, NBC.com is being stupid once again. Fine, I don't care. I will just wait until next Tuesday.
I also watched The Bachelor and all I have to say so far is that he is not "the sexiest Bachelor ever." That's retarded. They say that every season. But this time the host guy even said to him, "people are saying you're the sexiest Bachelor... EVER. How does that make you feel?" and the guy's just like "...I don't know? Good? Thank you?" And everyone else is going "Andy was hotter." Because, well, he was.
I'm excited for all the shows to start up again. Guess what else starts this week? Grey's Anatomy! And... I'm going to watch it. Why? I don't know. Last season sucked. It suuuuuuuuuuucked. The finale was RIDICULOUS. So overdramatic and COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC. Barf. Meredith is brain damaged, because anybody who dumps Patrick Dempsey is automatically certifiable. And give me a break on that totally stupid George/Izzie relationship. That is STUPID. NO, George shouldn't have married Callie. He only did it because his dad, who died, liked her and said he should marry her. He didn't really love her. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S OKAY TO CHEAT ON HER!!!!!! UGHHHHH GEORGE! There are so many other things I want to complain about but I will save it until I watch the premiere. Because I am watching it. Because I feel obligated. Even if all I will do is ridicule it. Private Practice also starts this week, which is the Grey's spinoff about Addison. I'm watching that too, because I feel obligated. Also because... maybe, just maybe, it will be good the way Grey's was good in the beginning. (Probably not though.)
But here is the best news of all! Thursday! At 8 (Central time)! ONE HOUR PREMIERE OF THE OFFICE!! And four one hour episodes in a row. How awesome is that? Very, very awesome. I leave you with this:
(LOOK HOW HAPPY JIM AND PAM LOOK!!!!!!!)
