Last night's NCIS mainly consisted of me flapping my hands and then giggling whenever people I loved were on screen. So, basically the whole episode.

And now Agent Lee is bad! Mostly I just feel for Jimmy. :( I'm glad that he realized on some level that he was being used, but he's just so cute when he's having a good time that I don't want him feeling bad.

But I was glad to get some reason behind breaking the team up. Now if only they'd just get Tony back...Loved Abby's little sticky-note counter with the pictures.

Also, it was weird to watch Without a Trace having just seen Anthony LaPaglia's brother get killed an hour before.

Ugly Betty is back! I'm really looking forward to this season. The whole Henry thing I found kind of dull and annoying. I mean, there were moments last season that had me going "aw" and being able to accept them as an...adult couple. But mostly I was over it.

Betty went on a trip by herself! Good for her. Marc and Amanda missed her! Aw.

I liked that Mrs. Mead's desk was a little island of color in Wilhelmina's monochromatic sea.

Yeah. I've got nothing interesting to say. Just yea!

Also, I want more Cliff this season.

And The Office, too! I have mixed feelings here.

On the one hand there was everything that made me happy: Pam getting to go to her classes; Pam and Jim on the computer; Jim kicking the crew out of Pam's room; Mindy Kaling for being freaking awesome as Kelly; Michael (and the rest of the office) making Kelly feel good about herself; Ryan apologizing to Kelly; PROPOSAL! IN THE RAIN! AT A GAS STATION! I knew Jim was going to do it! And THE KISS. THAT WAS A GOOD KISS.

Added to that was all of the hilarious stuff. And there was a lot.

But on the other hand, I'm not happy about the way the Andy/Angela/Dwight thing is going down. I feel really bad for Andy. And Dwight came off really skeazy to me in this episode. Poor Andy. :(

Michael was great most of the episode and then he tore up those tickets! I think Mom and I were both like, "IDIOT!"

And then they went to TOBY. That left me feeling really down. Barely there, no beaches, and his only visitors are the film crew. :(

I was happy to see that even though I haven't exactly been super hyped for these shows, all of the squee came back while watching. See, the problem with shows returning this week is that they're beginning when all I want to do is watch Due South. It has taken over my brain in the best way possible.

Plus, it's like playing Spot the Vaguely Familiar Canadian Actor. A couple of episodes ago Apophis was driving a cab.

FRASER: When I was a young scout, anxious to earn my ecology badge, I insinuated myself into a hunting party to catch a baby seal killer.
RAY: What happened?
FRASER: Well, I was clubbed repeatedly, Ray.

He is seizing an opportunity at trying to worm his way back into the arms and heart of the woman he loves. Angela is the instigator. She is the one paging Dwight to meet up for quickies and because of that I blame Angela. Dwight is just doing what Dwight does, using the opportunity given him to take what he wants.

That I can agree with. Like I wondered in my comment to Michele, Dwight's change in behavior (and I do think there is a bit of a change) can be blamed on Angela's influence and the fact that he loves her but can't completely be with her. And I love that you point out that Dwight takes the opportunities that come to him, because that's so true.

I forgot to mention it when we were talking on the phone, but it wasn't just Dwight's actions with Angela that pushed me into thinking he was being a bit of an asshole. It was more a combination of that and his treatment of Phyllis as well as his general behavior around the office. In retrospect, I'm sure it wasn't that - if at all - different from his usual behavior, but for whatever reason it came off as worse to me. More offensive. Maybe I've just gotten soft over the hiatus. Or maybe I'm just annoyed at the Dwight/Angela/Andy triangle and that manifested itself in being really uncomfortable around Dwight.

I guess it's like some episodes I love Michael and other episodes I want to kick him in the head. Some episodes Dwight goes too far and others he doesn't.
