don't be dull, be fannish

Fairly Legal was canceled by the USA Network: link. See me shedding no tears. I tried watching it but Kate must have been one of the most obnoxious, childish, arrogant, smug, bitchy characters I've ever seen on TV. I wanted to slap her every time she opened her mouth. I dropped it after one episode and never returned to it. And from what I've heard, she got even WORSE during S2. Wow, I didn't think that was even possible.

Also, Brendan Fraser won't star in Legends after all: link. He and the execs didn't agree on where his character should be headed and so they split amicably. And now my interest in the show dropped to zero again. This show sounds rather derivative so it'll stand or fall with the actor playing the lead. If they don't cast someone I like, I probably won't even give it a try. Eh.

Deadline.com also reports that Burn Notice is nearing a 13 ep long S7 pick-up. I hope they give it a good ending and wrap it up. It was reported in the past that the actor playing the lead wanted out anyway - correct me if I'm wrong - and I don't like shows that keep actors against their will or replace them - see The X-Files.

Man! They are so hot! And Matt Bomer is so slim, wow *stares* More pictures from the photo shoot can be found here.

... for two more seasons - S5 and S6 - even though S4 hasn't even started airing yet! Link!

Tonight, I watched the full-length BN pilot. It was better than I remembered. But I'm still missing the... WOW-factor. I'm starting to warm up to Jeffrey Donovan aka Michael Westen but all the other characters felt rather flat or over-played. The pilot basically established that Michael is the sun and everybody else is planets circling around him. I'm sure that they'll get fleshed out in future episodes, of that I have no doubt - but I don't feel the chemistry yet, if you know what I mean. When I compare it to White Collar's pilot - that one I've seen 4 times in one day, I was so floored. It had the WOW-factor from the get-go. I think it'll take me some time to warm up to BN, on the other hand.

But the music, the setting - you know what that reminded me off? Fast&Furious!

And BN vs. WhiCo - Miami or New York? Miami's hot, but NY is sleek! I prefer NY, I think.

WhiteCollarUSA over on Twitter posted some funny bits from a phone interview with Jeff Eastin.

( My favorite parts: slightly spoilery for the finale and S2... )

I'm in love with the WhiCo writers. They are so friendly and accessible... BTW, they replied to a question of mine about the bakery from 107: Yes, Neal still owns The Greatest Cake - awesome!!! - and he has more money stowed away. I wonder just how rich Neal is. And what would Peter say about it ;)
