Totally Obsessed: The Tudors, Secret Diary of a Callgirl, Supernatural, and WAY More

Hello! I decided to interview myself. (Yes, you read that right.) That’s just the kind of wacky thing I do. That’s how I got my nickname ‘wacky-doer-of-things-Jessica’.

Sofachip: So, Jessica, what is it that you’ve been watching these days - besides what you’ve mentioned on Sofachip already?

Jessica: A crazy amount of goodness that fills me up with all the angst, joy, and vitamins I need.

SC: But you didn’t answer - What exactly have you been watching, though? What did you watch today?

Jessica: Fine, fine. I’ll speak. I currently have Supernatural season one on DVD which I’ve been watching and just flat-out adoring. I just watched the Bloody Mary episode about an hour ago. See, I had seen most of the first half of the season, but not the rest. I saw the majority of season two, and all of season three. So I wanted to go back - it’s very rewarding to have seen the recent episodes and then go back to the initial ones and see how it all started. Also, these DVDs are honestly possibly the best DVDs I’ve ever seen in terms of TV shows on DVD.

SC: Why is that?

Making The Office More Feasible with Hello Kitty

How was your Memorial day? No, wait. I don’t care! I’m too busy recovering from mine where I ate canapes on a yacht while chatting with Gwyneth and Angelina.

Moving on, I came across a highly disturbing and mentally distressing post on Videogum.com. The writer, Gabe, states why he thinks The Office isn’t realistic. This argument centers on the idea of how a documentary crew could get away with filming all of this, and none of the people on ‘the show’ would ever get annoyed at being exploited like that. (Then again, don’t people often look like idiots on reality TV shows?) That’s fair enough. It you want to play it boring!

We do have to suspend belief for certain shows. But we can also help our shows along. I asked myself: How could it make sense? I channeled my wonky inner-genius and decided that the documentary crew could have told everyone they were filming that they had to get X amount of footage before they aired the show. Normally a reality show only films, at most, one season in advance (and probably not even that). So as for why four seasons would need to be aired, well…Sshhhhut it! Now, meanwhile, the show actually would be airing, but only in Japan.

This would give us a wonderful episode where Michael Scott would go on vacation to Japan and he’s treated royally, like a celebrity. He’d be signing autographs, and people would actually laugh ‘at his jokes’ (read: at him). He’d come back announcing how wonderful Japanese people and their culture are. The next party they have would have a Hello Kitty theme! People could wear California Roll bracelets, Mini Sushi bracelets, and Geisha Girl rings. Sounds yummy and fun. (Can you believe I’ve only had Sushi a couple times? Augh!)

I got a peek at Michael’s monitor and you’ll be crazy-surprised to see what was on there. Click after the jump and scroll down to see.

Now, I believe some of you want some answers to recent trivia.

What if the Cast of “Lost” was Re-Arranged?

I’m going to bring you back to a simpler time. When our Losties were still all on the island. We’d never heard of Nikki or Paulo. There was a giant monster and you were pretty sure it was a dinosaur, or something huge and corporeal (unlike black smoke). And you knew there were dangerous Other’s but they were far more menacing when you’d never seen one and thought they might be island natives with disfigured faces and polar bear tails. Or something. (For anyone who is a little confused, I’m just saying - remember season one?)

Using that template of characters, I got to thinking about how the cast could be re-arranged. Mind you, not ‘why’ - because I don’t know any good reason to re-arranged the roles, I just think it might be fun to experiment. (Every hormonal teenage guy totally just took that sentence wrong.) If you have other combinations, leave a comment and let me know. How strange can we make it? Well, who knows!

Jack Shepard: Currently played by Matthew Fox. How about… Josh Holloway (Sawyer)? It’s a little obvious, since they’re foils and all - but hear me out. If you took Josh and started him out with shorter hair, and a more clean shaven look - and he read Jack’s lines, and acted with the moral superiority complex, he could so be Jack! And - presto chango, Matthew Fox could play Sawyer. Can’t picture this? Have you ever seen season one or two of Party of Five? He was a slacker-type with longer hair (just imagine it less poofy). Now, who should be his leading lady?

Kate Austen: Currently played by Evangeline Lilly. How about… Emilie de Ravin (Claire)? This should be pretty easy to picture if you ever watched Roswell. On that show Emilie played Tess Harding, who ended up being pretty evil. Emilie can play a mischievous person well. She could dye her hair if that was needed.

Shannon Rutherford: Was played by Maggie Grace. How about…Yunjin Kim (Sun)? Pretend she speaks only English (and a little bit of French)! She could be snobby and have bad taste in men.

Okay. So I didn’t get too crazy. It’s not like I said that Terry O’Quinn should play Vincent the dog. That would be a stretch. But the possibilities are there. What do you think?

Matthew Fox says Jack Could Still Die on Lost

In the picture above you see Matthew Fox of Lost posing in the latest metrosexual couture. Maybe I don’t even have a problem with the clothes, maybe I just have a problem with the way the wind machine — er, sorry, I mean ‘natural wind from the island setting’ is casually blowing his shirt up like that. I know Fox isn’t heavy, but I also could swear that someone Photoshopped him to be thinner than he is.

Okay, so there’s another problem in this picture, if you haven’t noticed. In attempt for casual glamor, we’ve got Black Beauty (the horse - do you never read books?) running to the side. I don’t know how many horses are on beaches, and it’s very possible that this is a reference to the black horse that Kate saw on Lost. But I sort of doubt it. Jack (Fox) and Kate may be close, but Jack didn’t have a huge connection to the horse. So…is the horse supposed to be glamorous? Why does this picture look like a cheesy music video that Nick Lachey would call “brilliant”?

Well, it doesn’t matter. It’s just odd. This is a picture that accompanies an Entertainment Weekly story about Matthew Fox. I’m about to talk about major spoilers for what happened in the season finale of Lost last season, so uh, be warned! (Plus one picture from 4×01, but it isn’t very spoilery.)

Season Three of Party of Five on DVD is Coming Out This Year

TVshowsOnDVD.com has come out to say that finally, finally - season three of Party of Five will be released. My friend Tara, and I, weren’t even sure if it was ever going to be released (the second season was released in 2005) - so this comes as very good news!

You can buy the third season on March 25th, 2008.

Season three of Party of Five first premiered on August 21st, 1996. It’s been a long time, but you’ll still enjoy this. It was always a good show.

Party of Five was a heartfelt family drama that dealt with real-life issues. The show started going downhill when people started making jokes about just how serious and heavy the show had gotten - how every week there was some new huge break-down.

I don’t know that I’d say that’s true, although as the show went from season to season it did pursue some deeper storylines. I was always able to connect to the main characters, who, in their own way, were all just trying to find a niche to fit into, and grow up into adults.
