Michelle, Truly, and Talia make an excellent power trio. Seriously, please promote Talia to regular and keep her around for always. Please?
Also, that coal miner dance was one of the best things ever.
(I'm not really okay with the way they ended the Melanie & Dez plotline, though."Because" is reason enough, Dez, and Mel, you do not actually need to come up with logical reasons for why you don't want to date the guy, if you don't want to date him. )
(And what do you mean, next week's the winter finale? Didn't we already have the winter finale?)

...I feel bad that I don't have more to say about this episode, but I also kind of feel like Bunheads is the kind of show you can't really say that much about?

Thoughts on summer TV I'm watching:
Bunheads is not a particularly good show and it has plotholes you could fly a 747 through, but it's got Sutton Foster and ballet and I'm really shipping Boo/Sasha (at the very least Sasha has a massive crush on Boo and no idea how to deal with it), so I'm sticking with it. Also this week had They Might Be Giants and a dig at 50 Shades Of Grey, and those are never bad things.
Continuum continues to be fantastic and everyone should be watching it. The ways the writers use (and screw up!) Kiera's future tech is fascinating. Alec is one of my favorite TV geniuses. And I cannot say enough about how much I love the moral greyness of this show. Everyone is of questionable morality, the 'bad guys' are mostly bad due to their methods but they got there in understandable ways and the 'good guys' also used morally dubious methods and UGH I LOVE IT SO MUCH. IT SHOULD BE PICKED UP BY A NETWORK IN EVERY COUNTRY AND WATCHED BY EVERYONE.
Political Animals I am mainly watching Because Sigourney Weaver And Sebastian Stan. That's not a complaint. TJ sometimes gets very close to Prince Jack for me, but Sebastian Stan does it so well I still can't complain.
Alphas is back! My relationship to this show is kind of weird for me because I basically forgot it existed while it was on hiatus and then it came back and I suddenly remembered how much I love it. I have some minor issues with the reset button being played so quickly, but whatever I still love it dearly. Especially the hug scene at the end of the episode. That scene right there encapsulated pretty much everything I love about this show.

Some things:
We're one week into Camp NaNo! I'm doing well on wordcount and am actually a pretty good ways ahead, which lets a little stress off, but I basically have no idea what my plot is doing. I've only got a very vague structure in mind for the novel as a whole, but part of that structure relies on the first third of the book ending in a very definite way, and I have no idea how to get to that point. Woo, writing by the seat of your pants.
The Tony Awards are on Sunday. I've got my prediction sheet written up; it'll probably be about the same ratio of right to wrong as usual, but we'll see. Did you know that this year's ceremony will have more performances than any other Tony Awards ceremony to date? I don't know whether that's awesome (yay, more performances!) or depressing (why are you showing me a cruise line's production of Hairspray instead of, say, Best Orchestrations?).
Bunheads starts on Monday. Sutton Foster on my TV will never be a bad thing, and I saw the online sneak peek of the pilot and it looks like it could be an interesting show, so definitely watching for at least a few episodes.
I've already finished Vol. 3 of The Swamp Thing and am a good chunk of the way into Vol. 4. This is either because Vols. 3 & 4 put together are only a fraction as long as Vol. 2 or because Alec Holland as protagonist was seriously slowing me down and now that he's not such a focus it's become an easier read. You pick; I know what theory I subscribe to.
