Not that I don't appreciate it (and given the Manics love their sport, I'm sure they love it too) but an instrumental version of "Design For Life" is an interesting choice for a Paralympic advert. I'm assuming, if any thought went into it beyond whee! good music, it was chosen because of the theme of the song, fighting against the tide of life that wants to wear us down.

Virgin Media still suck, but this is a good advert - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB6LH62llrg

Person of Interest has been moved to 9 pm. I'd love to believe it's because Channel 5 have seen sense, but I suspect it's because of Big Brother scheduling.



I fear that the programme has never heard of identity theft. I assume this is to set up the wham, bam action part but ...

I really do like the mysterious Mr. Finch. And the detectives. And bits of the plotting. Just occasionally they do things that cause massive suspension of disbelief problems. I'm starting to think this might be like The Mentalist where I dip in and out. That being said, I want to know if that limp is related to the memorial bust.

TNA's opening bit was actually entertaining this week. I do start to wonder what Aces and Eights are up to. (And pondering if they're trying to make Storm look bad and then destroy him for whatever reason.)

The Brit is evil again. Life is good ;)

Madison Rayne's theme tune is really effective. And there's that problem when the evil-doer says things I agree with.

Um, guys, something weird is going on, Bully Ray was out helping the good guys.

Oh Daniels and Kaz, you're the most adorable evil types, and comic geeks. This angle has slid further into wrestlecrap. AJ, you don't need Daniels' (or Sting's) permission to get a paternity test.

I actually start to suspect Storm is up to something.

Have I seen Tarryn Terrel wearing even less clothing in something else?

Having a thoroughly peculiar moment, where I'm kind of happy that Aces and Eights attacked Storm because it means that he's unlikely to be their leader unless TNA are planning a twist more complicated (and more logical) than their usual.

Tarryn was Tiffany in ECW.

The AJ nightmare may be over soon as apparently the "actress" playing Claire has quit. I guess we'll find out on this week's show.

Thank you. I knew I knew her and it was driving me a little mad.

I feel sorry for "Claire", but most of me is cheering. Now to write it up for TV tropes.

She works at Universal Studios as Olive Oyl and was apparently annoyed that people found out her real name and job and quit.

I have no idea if all of that is true (I think the Olive Oyl bit is) but it just makes the story even funnier.
