Therapy - Maybe I should have considered it
I pretty much only make the effort to turn on the television twice during the week. Medium on Mondays and Lost on Wednesdays. I just can’t bring myself to deal with Thursdays. Alias. What a shame. Alias and I had a lot of good times together. We were so in love when we first started dating. Alias made me laugh, made me cry, inspired me. Now? Nothing.
You might think I should work harder, that I should give it another try… that I should forgive the fact that Alias was moved from Wednesdays to Thursdays. But I just can’t. I mean come on! They axed Agent Vaughn in the first episode this season. Are they trying to kill me?! I know Michael Vartan and Jennifer Garner broke up. (I blame the meddling Ben Affleck. Who gave him the right to get her to fall in love with him and ruin perfectly good television?! Maybe the competition hired him to do this damage so they could raise their ratings.) And I know the pregnant Garner plans to leave the show as well. But if she was leaving anyway, why couldn’t they kill her or put her in a coma or something and keep him on the show?!
No, the damage goes too deep. Therapy would not have helped. I mean, I gave it more than a second chance - I watched through to the end of the 3rd episode this season. It was pure torture!
But Medium is quite good. I recommend you all watch it. I especially like the writing and the relationship between Joe and Allison Dubois. Jake Weber and Patricia Arquette do a fantastic job. Check it out. Monday. 10pm. NBC.
