Let's do this!

Incredibly creepy LOST video

Disturbing.

ETA: Damon Lindelof twittered about this video: "Person who made this? You complete me."

Lady Gaga 2005

Back when she was still calling herself Stefani Germanotta...

Jon Hamm on SNL

MAD MEN's Jon Hamm rocked it on Saturday Night Live this weekend, his second time hosting. Here are my favorite skits -- there are so many!

New Senator

The Curse

The Closet Organizer

Sports Show

Hamm & Buble

The Bar

You didn't need to watch the Grammys, just go to YouTube

The best parts are up - and it looks like a replay of last fall's VMA broadcast with more from Pink, Gaga (with assist this time from fellow hothouse orchid Elton John), and Beyonce...







WORK IT GIRLS.

Prece-don't

Stephen Colbert ponders the deeper implications of this week's Supreme Court decision about corporations sponsoring political campaigns. In his own very special way.

New trailers for DAMAGES and JUSTIFIED

Last night just after the first episode of the new season of DAMAGES aired, FX showed these fantastic trailers for upcoming episodes of DAMAGES, and for their new show JUSTIFIED starring Tim Olyphant. JUSTIFIED premieres March 16 - looks like we DEADWOOD fans might get some small satisfaction from this show.



Sorry for the very bad shot-off-my-TV quality, but I hope you appreciate the instant gratification factor. ;-) Also the audio on my DVR was a bit wonky last night, so there are some level dropouts on this video.

Random YouTube thing I just learned

Did you know about the difference between

linking to a YouTube video page like this

and

linking like this?

Because I didn't. And it's WICKED COOL. Can't find any link on the normal video page to get to this nifty video-the-size-of-your-browser-window version -- so I retype the URL format by hand to get to it.

Ships for The Ages

Over at Watch With Kristin they are asking for readers' favorite romantic pairings, past and present, on television. That inspired me to make a list of some of my own favorites:

"Oh gosh. So many! Currently on air: Owen/Yang on GREY'S... the Sookie/Bill/Eric triangle on TRUE BLOOD... the Jack/Kate/Sawyer/Juliet quadrangle on LOST... And great foxy blasts from the past: Nate/Brenda on SIX FEET UNDER... Willow and all (Xander/Oz/Tara) on BUFFY... Apollo/Starbuck/Anders on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA... and Nikita/Michael on LA FEMME NIKITA."

Leave your favorites over on their post... or here in the comments... or both. :-)

(Wait, wait! I forgot Joan/Roger on MAD MEN, Beecher/Keller on OZ and Mal/Inara on FIREFLY...)

Searching for some WebDev advice from the cloud...

Hello all, hope you're having a great weekend. I'm reaching out for a bit of webdev advice on a new site project I am building this month. While I'm working, I'd love to hear from you with any experience/comments you have about the following:

- For reader/member commenting: what you think of Disqus commenting system (like it? prefer another system?)

- For setting up a community site: would recommend WordPress (hosted versus self-hosted?), or do you prefer Squarespace or some other?

- Widget hunt part 1: I'm seeking the best side column widget feature that will feed in bookmarked news items from other sites, and allow me to include a short written note about the link - any one of you have a favorite for that purpose?

- Widget hunt part 2: also looking for the best live-chatting widget for the side column. Any favorites?

- Once the site is online I am also seeking the simplest, best way to activate a mobile version for readers on the move. Looking for recs...


Thanks in advance for any advice!
xoxo E.

Fandom PSA: all of LA FEMME NIKITA is online

Thanks to fangrrl alissabobissa for noticing that The WB dot com has all episodes of all 5 seasons of LA FEMME NIKITA online right now.

Pretty damned sweet. And a great DOLLHOUSE withdrawl medicine, I might add.

A peek at BBC in 2010

The BBC just released their Winter/Spring 2010 trailer - lots of fun peeks at series and telefilms including:

- THE SECRET DIARIES OF ANNE LISTER, based on the sexually explicit diaries of a woman who is often considered "the first modern lesbian"

- A PASSIONATE WOMAN w/Billie Piper

- Biopic LENNON NAKED with Christopher Eccleston (DOCTOR WHO) as Lennon, Naoko Mori (TORCHWOOD) as Yoko Ono, and Claudie Blakley (CRANFORD) as Cynthia Lennon

- Kenneth Branagh returning for more WALLANDER

- THE DEEP, a five-part thriller set in a submarine below the Arctic ice, starring James Nesbitt, Minnie Driver and Goran Visnjic

Let's hope some of this makes it onto BBC America this year too!
