Woo Hoo!

I'm sick. Boo. But being sick usually results in some sort of TV-on-DVD marathon for me, and today was a bit of Alias S3. It's my least-favorite season, but I've been thinking lately that there have to be redeeming qualities to the season; I just hated it at the time with the scheduling (a month or two in between new eps in the middle of the season!), and because I hated Melissa George (Kath: I HATE her. Seriously, I hope I can hate her on Grey's, too, because I just really hate her.).

I ended up watching 11 eps today. Who knew the season had redeeming qualities? And episode 11 is one of my favorites. But in episode 7, I recognized the dude working in the prison (p.s. Any time you're a bad guy and you see Jack Bristow doing that slow, methodical walk towards you? It's not looking good for your team . . . Jack rocks.). I thought super hard, which is super difficult to do when all phlegmy (and not sexy phlegmy, a la Phoebe) and gross, but I figured out where I knew the actor from!

Drum roll please!

He was the tanning booth guy on the FRIENDS episode were Ross gets a tan! One of my favorite episodes ever (Kendra, how many times did you and I watch that ep? And try to get me to clap on cue and I kept messing it up?). Good times.

Bleck - sorry you're sick, friend! That's no fun. I'm glad to see you're enjoying some TV delight, at least!

Hope you feel better!

If you watch multiple JJ Abrams series, tons of his characters repeat, and then you can start making flow charts of how all the characters are intermingled. Super fun.

Maggie, YES! And I laughed so hard when I read your comment. They way he says "Mississippi-lessly" is hilarious!

NICOLE! I was so confused for a second because I thought you were my sister, and I was like, "When did YOU ever watch Alias or any JJ show?" And then I plugged in--the OTHER hilarious Nicole! =) Yes, JJ characters all over the place! But with FRIENDS being a non-JJ show, I wasn't expecting a JJ guy! And I saw another JJ gal on a non-JJ show tonight: Dr. Pavone (Felicity) and Dr. Hynosis (Alias, I forget her character's name) was on Grey's tonight. Woo! LOVED her on Felicity.

Sorry you're sick, but happy that you got to watch Alias!

I also hate Melissa George so much from Alias that I'll probably never be able to like her in anything she's in.

Love that episode of friends...so good...
