There was plenty of clacking going on inside my head this week, everything from those stupid KFC commercials to Moonlight to the Super Bowl. Take a peek, and let me know if you agree or disagree in the comments section:
I wish 24 and Damages were better this season. Sure, it’s swell having them back, but so far, I’m not rabid for the next episodes or anything. That saddens me, because I really love both of these series, and it doesn’t get much better than Glenn Close and William Hurt. Hopefully, both shows will get better and have me pining to see what happens next. Or maybe I just expect too much. I didn’t even realize I felt this way about Damages until Modwild pointed it out to me in the comments last week. Mod, I don’t know whether to thank you or curse you!
The Moonlight ending was fine. I finished watching Moonlight, and while I was preparing myself for a rude and abrupt ending, it really wasn’t that bad. Sure, I wish the series would have gone on for six or eight seasons, but if it had to end, at least it ended with Mick rushing back to Beth and professing his love, and Beth hugging him and closing the door — with both of them on the same side of that door. At least we know they ended the series together and probably had sweet vampire sex that night. Hey, that’s a lot better than if he hadn’t gone back. We’ll just have to be happy with it.
Those KFC commercials drive me nuts. The ones where they show all the tasty-looking food with a voice-over that turns out to be … the cook. So, let me get this straight. We’re supposed to believe there’s a KFC “cook” in every location throughout the world? You know, maybe I’ve been watching the Food Network too much, but when I think of “cook,” I think of someone lovingly baking biscuits, chopping spuds for potato salad, grating fresh cabbage and carrots for cole slaw … you know, someone actually “cooking.” For some reason, I just don’t think there’s much of that going on inside any KFC.
The Super Bowl was an awesome game. I don’t even watch football, and had no idea which teams were playing before the kids and I turned the game on for the sole purpose of watching the commercials and musicians. But when it came down to those final few minutes and the tension mounted as to who would win … it was exciting! But I still mainly watched it for the commercials. My favorites were the ones with the Heroes cast.
And speaking of the Super Bowl … was Bruce Springsteen showing his age or what? He can still rock it out, but he just looked worn out. Or on something. And Little Steven Van Zandt ain’t no spring chick either, so I don’t know if he was much help if Bruce needed someone to lean on. Anyway, still fun to see The Boss, even if I had a hard time explaining to my son who he was the boss of. Uh … everyone?
What about you? What made you clack this week? Any thoughts on mine?
