TV Tonight: Fire Another One Up

Apropos of frakking awesomeness, Ausiello is reporting over at Time corporate-sibling EW.com that Katee Sackhoff has been cast on next season's "24" as "Dana Walsh, a highly respected and down to earth data analyst at the new and improved New York branch of CTU."

So as to not offer any other "spoilerish" scoop (I hardly think casting decisions for a character are spoilers), here's the link if you're curious: http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/06/exclusive-katee.html#more

Yeah Weeds stopped being funny after season 2, although I still continued to watch, but season 4 was a bit much for me. If I start hearing it gets good again maybe I'll pick it up again.

If only I had Showtime... We just got caught up on last season of Weeds this past weekend, and we loved it. I loved the Mexico stuff, the "get mommy a pillow" thing, all the crazy hijinks with the 2 kids, the strange development of the Andy-Nancy chemistry, the Doug-hitting-rock-bottom stuff, the gentle coyote stuff, the "getting the gang back together" and the falling out with Guillermo - the only part of the season that I DIDN'T like was pretty much anything involving Celia - it was all totally over-the-top with her the whole time. I certainly found crackhead Celia to be worth some laughs, but the character was turned into a total caricature. The side story with Doug and Andy and Maria was a bit silly, also, but none of that detracted from our enjoyment of the season as a whole... I'll definitely keep up with future seasons as soon as the episodes become available to non-Showtime subscribers...
