As promised, Friday’s sixth episode of DOLLHOUSE didn’t disappoint. Please tell me it wasn’t an aberration. — DrunkonDushku
The TV Addict: Rest assured, it wasn’t. With Whedon’s winning streak continuing this Friday when he reveals more of Echo’s backstory by sending her on a mission back to the very College campus that we’ve become accustomed to catching glimpses of in the mysterious ‘Caroline’ video. Fans will also learn how Sierra ended up in the Dollhouse, when she confronts the man responsible for putting her there (and trust me, it ain’t pretty.) Oh, and as for the big reveal that there are twenty or so Dollhouses strategically located around the world, Whedon joked on a recent conference call that it’s built-in franchising. In other-words, get ready for DOLLHOUSE: MIAMI!
What’s the word on tonight’s GOSSIP GIRL? — GossipGuy
The TV Addict: Does “ZZZZZZzzzzzz” count as a word? Because unfortunately, that is my reaction to tonight’s snooze-inducing Nate-centric story-line. Seriously. If the Dollhouse ever needs another pretty-boy to walk around with a vapid and emotionless expression on his face, Chace Crawford is their man. So much so that not even an inebriated and highly entertaining secret-spilling Blair could save tonight’s train-wreck of an episode.
Loved Friday’s episode of TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR chronicles, how about you? — LenaLikey
The TV Addict: You mean the one where John Connor finally grew a pair. No exaggeration, scenes like John’s confrontation with Jesse are why PVR’s were invented (Well, that and because it allowed me to attend my BSG Frakkin’ Finale Party worry-free.) John’s transformation from petulant emo-boy was long overdue and I for one loved getting to see a glimpse of the young man who has finally started to demonstrate that he has what it takes to fight for humanity’s future. A fight, which by the way, just got a whole lot more interesting with Friday’s future-reveal that not all robots are on the same side.
Words this TV Addict never thought he’d utter: We’re starting to feel sorry for Gossip Guy Chace Crawford.
Why feel sorry for one of the lucky few winners of the genetic lotterly? Simple. Nate Archibald continues to get the cold shoulder from the GOSSIP GIRL writers despite being one of the most buzzed about young actors on the show. Take Monday night’s episode for example. This so-called lead character on the CW’s flagship show once again garnered less screen time than well, everyone. Gone and forgotten are his familial issues, housing crisis and relationships (or lack there of) with both Vanessa and Jenny. I mean for Frak’s sake, Dorota gets more screen time and we’re fairly confident that she’s not even legally allowed to work in this country! Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage [GOSSIP GIRL showrunners], care to explain?
Congratulations to theTVaddict.com readers Marenamoo, Marisa, Bws, Shanna, and Haya who correctly guessed that GOSSIP GIRL would be the lucky show to grace Entertainment Weekly’s Fall TV Preview. Now spill, which one of you secretly works at EW? [And could you possibly hook this TV Addict up with a job?]
While this TV Addict certainly appreciates the fact that the CW needs to do everything in its power to actually attract viewers to what’s quickly amounting to one of the most over-hyped/under-watched shows in the history of television. I can’t help but feel that the proverbial powers that be are going about it the wrong way.
Now admittedly, I’m no marketing guru. But releasing fifty plus photos in the hopes of generating buzz for GOSSIP GIRL’s second season premiere just seems like a bad idea. As the saying goes, “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?”
I mean take a look at these photos [above]. It doesn’t take THE BIG BANG THEORY’s Leonard or Sheldon to piece together the September 1st two-hour premiere’s major plot points. Heck, at this point I’m pretty sure even Penny would get the gist of it! In fact, I’d be willing to bet that if one took the time to print these photos and arrange them into a nifty little flip book, you’d have virtually the entire episode in the palm of your hands! Anyone have a few hours to kill? Let us know.
If Deadline Hollywood Daily is to be believed [and seriously, when has the internet ever led us astray?], you’ve ditched ICM for CAA [The Darth Vader of Hollywood Agencies] in the hopes of snagging a ’substantial raise’ for playing eye candy on the CW’s much talked about, yet little watched show GOSSIP GIRL.
Actions that unfortunately leave this TV Addict with no choice but to pose this obvious and slightly awkward question. Is it possible that Monday’s win for TEEN CHOICE Breakout Star has already gone to your head?
Having made the ‘Choice’ decision to hang out backstage rather than risk permanent hearing impairment courtesy of the thousands of screaming Jonas Brothers/Miley Cyrus fans at last night’s TEEN CHOICE AWARDS 2008. This TV Addict is proud to present this blow-by-blow account of all the behind-the-scenes fun you didn’t see on camera.
Choice Example of America’s Faltering Education System: When asked what the biggest challenge America’s youth is currently facing, Choice Movie Actor Winner Channing Tatum said, “America’s Education system is not doing good.” ‘Nuff said!
Choice Irony: After the adorably radiant Sophia Bush told teen girls everywhere that no matter what you look like or wear, girls should, “own it, and embrace yourself because anyone can feel fabulous.” A reporter who clearly wasn’t listening followed up with, “What are you wearing?”
At this evening’s 2008 TEEN CHOICE Awards, airing tomorrow night at 8PM on FOX — this TV Addict brushed up on his mad paparazzi skillz [how's that for teen lingo?] by getting up close and personal with some faces you may be familiar with.
For the full report, including more great photos, hilarious moments and interviews, check back tomorrow night following the show. But for now, enjoy these photos of the TV Addict on the red carpet.
Question: What do the TV Addict and GOSSIP GIRL star Chace Crawford have in common? You know, aside from the devastating good looks and millions of fans?
Good Morning Upper East Siders, the TV Addict here with a little GOSSIP GIRL Scoopage to tide you over until everybody’s favorite guilty pleasure returns on April 21.
