Dear Project Runway...

Dear Project Runway,

I totally did not see the results of tonight's episode coming until the deliberation stage, and even after that, I was a little shocked by the results. I was also surprised that I found the six-hour challenge infinitely more interesting than expected.

Keep up the good work!

Dear Fox...

Dear Fox,

WTF was that shit you pulled last night after the "premiere" of Kiefer's new series Touch? You show a one-hour ep, and then at the end, you say that the show will be airing in its normal Monday-night sliot...in MARCH. It's JANUARY. What the hell possessed you to do such a thing?

Also, well, your one-hour taste of Touch was not that compelling. It isn't going to have me fidgeting and fussing for the next month and a half until the show starts its regular run. Some things to consider:

1 - The whole many vignettes swirling around a central story that all end up connecting back to it really, really, really felt contrived at the end. The bit with the father in Times Square and the boy who needed the oven at the very end had me eyeing the television skeptically.

2 - It would have been nice actually spending time developing the main character in the series, instead of heaping on more than a half dozen others who likely will only be in this one episode.

3 - The patterns in nature connecting all things speech by Danny Glover felt a bit woo-woo to me. And I'm a bit woo-woo myself. I think the conclusion I'd like you to draw from that is pretty clear.

4 - I'm not sure even JJ Abrahms could have pulled this ep off, and the writers weren't even close to having the writing chops of Abrahms.

No love,
Me

Native German Speakers...

Hey guys,

I kow that some of you speak German as a first language. I have someone in faramir_fics who is also a native speaker and is looking for beta help for her fics. They likely won't be VigBeany, but if you don't object to, well, fics about Faramir, you might want to check out her post.

Thanks!
