For four days the upfronts happened, and they were blogged about, and it was good. More important still, someone can taste the identity of that fifth cylon on Battlestar Galactica. And I may agree.
- BuzzSugar got the awesome opportunity to chat with the adorable Bret Harrison (a.k.a. Sam the bounty hunter for the Devil) about the future of Reaper. (BuzzSugar)
- Thanks to CBS, Moonlight’s dead. But what will we do without our weekly Jason Dohring fix? Come share your ideas on where he should be cast next. (RTVW)
- Talk of long division and twin side beds? Either Scooter has been watching too much of The Big Bang Theory or Death Cab for Cutie has a new album out. Well, most likely both. (Scooter McGavin’s 9th Green)
- This week, the TV Addict spent some time in New York professionally reporting on the TV Network UpFronts. Oh who are we kidding… we met 90210′s Kelly Taylor! OMFG! (the TV Addict)
- If only Kevin and Scotty waited one more week, they could have had a real marriage instead of just a big ol’ gay commitment ceremony out there in California! Either way, it was extremely sweet and wrapped up an uneven season of Brothers & Sisters on a high note, well, at least until the whole not-incest thing between Rebecca and Justin. (Tapeworthy)
- While Jace attended the upfronts this week and broke down the networks’ scheduling decisions, he was more captivating with pondering just who the Final Cylon is on Battlestar Galactica and offered up his theory on who the last sleeper agent might be. (Televisionary)
- Dan didn’t (still hasn’t, actually) get a chance to see this week’s Top Chef, but you can get a chance to create your own episode through this Top Chef Mad Lib. (TiFaux)
