(DOCTOR WHO SEASON 4 SPOILERS IN THE LINK)

When I said I'd be okay with it, this was not what I was thinking of.

I think it's a big mistake, honestly.

Oh well. On the bright side, my now favorite new show of the fall season, Chuck has been picked up for a full season (writers be damned?).

My second favorite show, Journeyman, appears to be not so fortunate. Oh well. I've grown quite fond of that one.

Pushing Daisies has disappointed. The cuteness of it quickly became grating and I just find it hard to watch. I've not stopped yet, but likely will soon.

Looks like it'll be back to two - hey, Torchwood! - three regular series since House continues to be highly entertaining.

I just can't see it as being anything other than a train wreck. Doctor Who's biggest asset has always been flexibility, this inability to let go of the past is going to slowly strangle the life out of the show.

y'know, the more I think about it, the more I tend to speculate that Series 4 will be Tennant's last. This sounds more like a regeneration reunion than anything else.

A three-episode reunion? Three episodes is enough to make a story arc or a full companion, when I hear 'reunion' I tend to think of one-offs.

But yes, I have seen the rumor that Tennant will stop after S4 (or at least the 2009 specials) in more than one place.

Let me rephrase...

God I hope it's a reunion for the sake of Tennant's regeneration or else RTD has gone even farther off the deep end than I possibly could have imagined...

One aspect of being married to an intensive care RN (the good looking one in the picture, there)is expert evaluations of medical programs in progress. ER, for example, is good medicine -- except long shots that should never pay off often do. Gray's was good but has gone down hill, medically speaking. House makes her furious. In much the same way CSI makes real forensics specialists furious. It does not work that way. He does things wrong, takes risks that would get him fired --if not jailed -- and either finds impossible solutions or finds the glaringly obvious solutions that anyone following protocols would have discovered. She yelled at the TV a few seasons ago during the confrontation in which House performs an "unorthodox" examination of a young girl in the elevator and finds a tick responsible for her condition. Once a tick was suspected -- as it was for much of the episode -- such an exam would have been routine. I think it was that same season she diagnosed the do-gooder medical missionary before House did. (One bit she did like was when one of his team of super-doctors hooked a heart monitor up backwards and the others all watched him do it without noticing. She says doctors do stuff like that all the time.) So while I like House, I can only watch it when my wife is not around. Then never admit I did so.
