read only if you can tolerate MORE tv show talk :D
michael vartan is coming back to alias! might be temporary, might not be vaughn (who knows?) and god knows why he's back. but this -is- alias.
anyway i think vartan's cute again. but i'm just sort of confused about him. so... apparently he's been filming on the alias set again. so we'll see. soon enough.

i'm fa-fa-falling for balthazar getty! well, thomas grace. he's got some seriously good lines. and very cute. in a dark brooding accidentally-charming way.

and i'm wondering if rachel gibson's going to be lesbian. there were some suggestions. but that might totally be reading too much. but then i'm not the only one reading such things, twop said so too but nobody knows for sure.

also, UGH. the spoilers for gg. highlight to read, of course. christopher back to terrorise luke/lorelai. luke has a long-lost daughter he didn't know existed! HELLO?!?!?!

and LOST: a major character's going to die. i'm very very scared. i'll be devastated if it's jack or kate or sawyer. or SAYID or SHANNON. i loooooove sayid. i love sayid and sawyer. although i've decided that naveen andrews himself is a bit icky. but i love sayid. so smart.

my mom's hindi soap has gone nuts. the main character and her daughter were in an accident that my dad precicted would happen, in the usual foreshadowy predictability that is true soap opera. and the main character's blind i think, and the daughter's dead. and the husband's gone mad and the other daughter's drowning in tears. this after the still-alive daughter was living in london with a woman she thought was her mother but had abducted her 18 years ago when she was a baby on holiday in london with her mother. and at that time her mother and father were divorced and her dad was onto his fourth wife or something, the one who produced the daughter who died and whom the main character adopted because that woman died in childbirth and left the kid to her husband's first wife who's the main character and also the doctor who delivered the kid. (confused yet?) so eighteen years later she finds her real daughter, and then the adopted daughter gets mad and kinda rebels in all kinds of ways then gets in trouble and comes back. and the daddy comes back too, after living in exile in goa and writing books. oh and during that time, the daughter who'd been living in london goes to goa and falls in love with that guy not knowing he;s really her dad. and then stuff happens and they all get reunited as one big family finally. and now there's blindness and death. this is what happens when soaps go on too long and the writers run out of hallucinogens.

if you finished reading that paragraph with several shreds of sanity left and actually understood it, i'll give you a prize.

from Anonymous Anonymous:
and omg of all people he had to kill her!:(
from Blogger aparna:
omg mani you watch that show too?! and was the second post you as well, about killing aastha? the show has completely degenerated into typical indian tragedy, which is really annoying. ah well it was always melodramatic and annoying and my brother calls the show ass-tit. cos you know, astitva. ass-tit-va.

and you don't get a prize cos you watch the show, ha!
from Anonymous Anonymous:
haha! that's really quite funny! but yeah it's quite sad what's happening to Astitva cos it was really good earlier.. as in even the melodrama wasn't all that bad. and much better than the other Zee tv soaps at least. sighh but now they've gotten rid of aastha, the only eye candy in the show:( apparently it's cos she signed up for some movie and can't handle the show at the same time. Argh. probably thinks she's too hot for tv though that might be very true too:/. anw yeah, boycotting it now.

yeah haha that was me in the earlier post. was fiddling around and accidentally clicked on anonymous i think.
from Blogger aparna:
ah well i never really loved the show, only my mom and all her friends love it. on the odd occasions that i watch, i enjoy mocking the melodrama more than anything else. and i HATE aastha! i hate sia too. and i hate sid. i think the only tolerable one is simran.

and yeah amazingly my mom's boycotting it too. i think the show should've ended a long time ago. like kareena kareena. that show was cute and it just ended. while people still LIKED it. so they'll say "oh that show, kareena, i was so SAD when it got over." instead of "oh that show, astitva, i was so GLAD when it got over." um. yeah. haha puns.
