Well, I don’t know why I wasn’t watching the Real Housewives of New Jersey this season. Last season was, of course, perfectly delightful, and Caroline’s tear-filled eyes as she said “you’re garbage” to Danielle was one of the more memorable TV-moments of my entire life
The Jersey Shore… oh wait… (I should point out that my ability to retain memories of things seen on television lasts for maybe 2 months. I only remembered the “you’re garbage” line because they showed it during the opening of this new reunion).
On the advice of a friend, I watched the Season Two RHONJ reunion, a reunion so glorious it was split into 2 parts. Of all the many moments one could single out as being particularly pleasurable, perhaps the greatest was Danielle’s confounding logic regarding the provenance of tweets. Her argument that there is no way of knowing whether or not the particular tweets being mentioned were in reference to the birthday wish regarding Ashley committing suicide for a video camera was hard to refute without relying on “oh come on we all just know it.” The truly delicious argument came when she said that if she had replied to the particular tweet in question, it was surely because she hadn’t read all the way through. I mean… how can you argue with that? It is the very nature of this technology, no?
Lame…
True Blood has come to an end already, after an overall fairly mediocre season (“we will eat you” excluded of course). And how did it go out? With a fizzle. A rather ridiculous fizzle.
After neatly tying up a number of totally uninteresting side-stories — even typing “inbred panther people” makes me LOL — Tara’s totally irritating histrionic “I can’t handle this supernatural bullshit because I have Stockholm Syndrome for all of these Maenad-possessed/vampire lover-kidnappers”, etc… Sookie gets sucked up into a chandelier space-ship with her alien kin, and Bill starts flying.
I have three letters for you: WTF? I guess those answers will have to wait until next summer, by which point surely I — and I assume most people — will have forgotten the questions.
