I can't believe that there still hasn't shown up a downloadable copy of HIMYM 4x15. I mean, people have it. And they've gotten it from multiple places. And no one is tech savy enough to remove the personal info and upload it to us poor embittered souls who are doing without. Won't someone please think of the children fans?!

And while I'm on the subject, why wasn't the airing moved up just a week? Isn't February still a sweeps month?

I have watched other stuff, though:

Top Chef
As soon as I realized that my favorites were safe, I stopped caring about who went home - I almost missed it. I do think that if the judges had done what they always claim to do - judge each competition on its own merit, not based on previous performances - Stefan would have gone home. So, so much for that.

This season has really been a clusterfuck from at least mid-way through the season. The show has lost so much credibility from the VERY obvious producer interference, and I'm just not trusting them one iota right now.

Let's just say that I think that Carla has become enough of fan favorite that she might win, and even though I'd never feel comfortable with any result this season ended up with (because I can't ever be sure that it was earned), I'd be okay with her winning based on popularity.

Though if popularity was the name of the game, I'm sure Fabio would win (at least if you go by my flist), but I personally don't think his cooking is strong enough.

The Big Bang Theory
I marathoned season 2 over the past week, and I'm sorry I haven't been watching it all season long, because this season it seemed like they just gave up pretending that Leonard was the main character and made it The Sheldon Show (with occasional preemptions featuring The Penny/Sheldon Show). Which is really how it should be, considering he makes the show.

I was really disappointed with this last episode, though, because why oh why are they revisiting Leonard/Penny AGAIN?! Just give it up already, gah!

Friday Night Lights
So, Tim goes to college and Matt doesn't? I am not okay with this. I felt so happy for Matt for finally getting to be something MORE, and instead they leave him stuck in that town on the off-chance that they get renewed? No. Just no.

Even though I can't ever imagine them getting a season 4, I kinda want it, just so I can watch the Lions destroy the Panthers. That McCoy jerkwad needs to be crushed.

Being Erica
I actually got choked up at the end of this latest episode. I've kind of been enjoying it in a "it's fun and quirky" sort of way, but this episode tugged at my heartstrings in a way no show has done in a long time.

Also, I can't decide if I'm totally insane for having a Josh/Erica moment when they were out there on the balcony. When he was about to tell her how he felt, I had that heart-stopping, breath-catching 'shippy moment. On the one hand, it's been a while, so I want to go with it for just a little bit, but on the other hand, HE JUST MARRIED HER SISTER! I don't think there's anyway around that. Or the fact that he's been involved with her for years.

I JUST REALLY WANT A NEW 'SHIP, IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
