My new X!

If you are looking for dish here...sorry to disappoint!

I have been out of the loop when it came to the Fall lineup. After one of my favorite shows of all time went off years ago (MILLENIUM), then the origin of its spin off (THE X FILES), I'd settled in to anything Dick Wolf produced with the words "law" or "order" in the title. The judicial system and law enforcement were the only subject matter that caught my attention. Then back in September I caught a preview of a pilot.

There is something so yummy about Joshua Jackson! Is it the height (I do crave longshanks!) or that whole teacher-seduction-thingy he did as Pacey on Dawson's Creek? I may simply be smitten by my philosophy that all good actors are also above average in the intelligence department (and he HAS to be smart because he is a southpaw- like me!). At any rate, it is good to see an under-appreciated talent (he's done theatre people!) gain a vehicle.

I have heard from a source in the industry that working a series is 'draining'. It takes it's toll on the Creatives who are used to doing a part and letting it go. But as I sit in the state where Mr. Jackson once filmed Dawson's Creek, I do so hope that he will suffer for his fans through what is surely a series with longevity.

After watching Mission Impossible III for the fortieth time (Tom Cruise is practically a hometown boy after marrying one of my fav Ohio girls Katie!), I finally watched the commentary. I loved it! Just listening to Tom Cruise and J.J. Abrams go through the film scene by scene you feel as if you are at a private screening with the two of them. I hope all the best for J.J. Abrams and his family, he sounds like such an appreciative person; I too am happy Tom Cruise gave him that opportunity! I noticed something that has me thinking Mr. Abrams is not done surprising us yet on the credits for Fringe: he is solely responsible for the theme that coaxes you into the alternate universe of Fringe. Cool beans!

It's official: after just four episodes I have found my new X FILES! No calls between 855pm and 1002pm on Tuesdays, thank you.


Should you feel a need to share strange stories of your obsessive crushes on Mr. Jackson- please don't! You KNOW my heart will always truly belong to VDO...
