I’ll miss you Life.
Officially cancelled.
15 pounds of pure bunny — Charlie Crews
Ah, show, first you had the shortened first season because of the writer’s strike (but it still rocked). Then you got rid of Robin Weigert and I wasn’t that keen on Donal Logue’s character joining the cast either. Sarah Shahi’s pregnancy came along midseason and you had to bring on Gabrielle Reece as Charlie’s new partner. Despite the unevenness, you were still a great show. The last episode surprised me a bit, but if Charlie and Dani belong together I’m okay with that. Charlie looking up at the sun, the barely touching hands during the exchange and 1+1 = 1 was such a poignant series ending. Thank you for bringing Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi together on our screens. I doubt it’ll happen, but could NBC please release both seasons on dvd with all the original broadcast music intact?

On the flip side, I did not really get into Little Dorrit on PBS/Masterpiece. This non(Dickens) reader was confused at the end – I thought Amy and Arthur were half siblings. But then they married so that obviously wasn’t right.

Tonight Little Dorrit begins. I go in clueless not having read the book, but I was pleasantly surprised how addictive I found Bleak House, so maybe this will be the same vein. Clocks in at 8 hours over the next few weeks and features Matthew Macfadyen among the ensemble cast. [PBS Masterpiece]
Conspiracy walls, charts, et cetera
Now Chuck has one. Love that it’s on the back of a poster in his room to help him figure out how to get the Intersect out of his head.

It reminded me of these other instances:
On Alias, there was Vaughn’s massive SD/Alliance chart.
This is about the killing the monster, not just cutting the arm off of the monster.

On Life, Charlie Crews has a conspiracy wall/room, which has already gone through a rehaul this season and is housed in a walk-in closet.

Here are two great fan videos by Lithium Doll:
Patterns – Life
Summer in the city – Traveler
(they are on imeem which can’t be embedded here yet, so use the links.)
The first is for the NBC show Life, starring Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi. Life was shortened by the writers strike but is scheduled to return this fall.
I don’t remember seeing commercials for Life that piqued my interest; I’ll admit the only reason I even found this show is because it was on immediately after Bionic Woman. I ditched Bionic Woman after the first ep, though, and continued watching Life. I didn’t even recognize Sarah Shahi until the opening credits rolled (to me, she’ll always be Jenny, Will’s assistant from Alias). And I discovered Damian Lewis thanks to Life.
The second is for the short-lived ABC show Traveler. It’s too bad this show didn’t last.
