Friday This N That

I was pleasantly surprised to see Sheryl Crow gracing the cover of the new issue of Ladies’ Home Journal. Also, as I’m playing "catch up" on some old This n That, I love seeing Sheryl with her boys. My, how Levi has grown. I last saw a pic of him as a tiny baby.





Since the forum at Sheryl’s website went down, I’ve really been out of the loop – even more so than I had been previously. Even though I didn’t post there much in the past couple years, I miss some of the regulars from the past decade. Hopefully when the “new & improved” forum emerges on the site, most will find their way back. Maybe some can find their way here as well. I miss ya Nancy, Ronnie, Johnny, Jen, Gregg, Bill, Liz & the rest of the gang. A hello from MissDJ.

Moving on –
I got the new issue of CBS Watch yesterday. I was pleased to see another pic from that great photo shoot that Cote did earlier this year. She’s so elegant.


The magazine also had a short article on Michael Weatherly (and others) moving into the director’s chair. It’s becoming a trend.



Speaking of NCIS –
I was kind of disappointed with the show’s season finale this week. I loved how it was revealed that Jethro made Mike’s casket. However, we’re left with the question of Tony’s "secret" project? Why does every show need to have some kind of season-long arc these days? It’s extremely annoying. Sometimes it’s just real nice to have a stand-alone episode where you don’t need to remember all of the backstory for the entire season and it’s just the “crime of the week” scenario.

Also disappointing was my now-defunct Chase. What the heck did they do to Daisy? Yes, it was a great episode with a wonderful, haunting backstory for the character, but having it end the way it did – her taking matters into her own hands, thus throwing her entire career in the toilet? – so disappointing. Now I think I’m glad that they ended the series. I’m not sure I could have continued with the extremely cliché’d Annie/Jimmy UST storyline that was overtaking the show. Marco & Daisy were fast becoming my favorite characters, when initially it was Annie & Jimmy. It just goes to show how writers can really screw up a good thing.

On the other hand, there’s Sanctuary.

After three somewhat depressing (dull? Boring?) episodes in succession, we FINALLY get a wonderful episode that’s worthy of this show. Magnus & Tesla are so great together with their serious-but-playful banter. I even loved the B-story with Kate being haunted by her past. Now, I’m still giddy with excitement for next Monday’s episode, “Normandy”, where we take a look back at The Five in their heyday. I love episodes that include The Five.
