so i will keep a deliberate pace

I watched the pilot last night!


So, I got Ashley to download the pilot screener and burn it to disc for me, so I could watch it. I decided I didn't want to wait two or three more days until Stew brought me my new computer. :p The whole time I was watching it, I was leaving messages for madmoisellestar on AIM, the gist of which were: "OMG I LOVE TOMMYSCHLAMMEAARONSORKINOMG!" There may have also been some "JOOOOOOSH" in there somewhere, along with some squeeage when Felicity Huffman showed up and people were shouting "good show" at each other and yeah. I didn't even realize how much I missed this stuff until it was right in front of me.

I'm gonna have trouble thinking of Bradley Whitford as anything but Josh for awhile, I can already tell. I try really hard, and for a few minutes it looked like it would be easy, with the whole drug-problem thing, but then he did the Josh head-tilt at Jordan, and I was all JOOOOOSH again and it was sad for me.

Anyway, I love Matt and Josh's Danny's chemistry, and I love having Matthew Perry on my screen again. I like Jordan so far, but that might just be a general liking for Amanda Peet, I can't really tell at this point. I liked Sarah Paulsen okay, but I liked that it was Matt that broke up with her character instead of the other way around. That doesn't seem to be the normal order of things on most shows like this. I didn't really get a feel for any of the other characters, but I can definitely see the potential.

In conclusion: Matthew Perry was made for Sorkin-speak, and I miss Timothy Busfield's beard.


Seriously, bets on how long til Joshua Malina shows up? I'm saying mid-season. February sweeps?

Anyway. Fiona Apple tonight! I'm working hard to contain my bouncy glee at the moment, just in case you were wondering. *g* We've got pretty awesome seats, and Wolf Trap is a really great venue if you have good seats, so here's hoping for a fantastic show.

Bradley Whitford always be the annoying guy from Billy Madison to me :P

Yeah, I know. It took me a few episodes of The West Wing to get over that, too. :p But, obviously I did.

I think I might actually give the pilot a try tonight.

Yeah, you might like it. Matthew Perry is very Matthew Perry-ish, which is always a good thing. :) It's a little slow, but I think most pilots are a little slow, so. I'm excited for what's to come. :)

He really really was, wasn't he?

There was one moment in the episode, I think when he barged in on Steven Weber and Amanda Peet and looked like an idiot and then came back with some quippy remark that I don't even remember that really sold it for me. I'm really excited for this show to be totally awesome. :)

EEEEEeeeeeeeeee!!

I say May sweeps. A new exec to help spice up ratings for Studio 60, much like William H. Macy's character on SN.

SO TRUE. He just *fit* right in, which is a weird thing to say for a new show, but it's true. I really loved the dynamic between him and BW.

Heh. I think we should get a pool going or something on how long til JM makes an appearance. Points for who calls the role he plays, how long he sticks around, how long til he's made a regular, etc. etc. :p

Yep. Exactly. He really fits in with the Sorkin mold, which I guess we all noticed when he guested on TWW, but it's so much more apparent now. Plus, that first episode where he's on TWW, didn't he spend most of his time with Josh? Mmmmhmmm.
