S2E1: The Last Sontaran (pt 1)
I really enjoyed S1 back when it aired, what was it, two or three years ago. Wasn't perfect, but it showed a lot of promise for a fun series, and I've always been a bit sad Scifi never picked up subsequent seasons. Finally got round to resuming watching the series today, and I'm glad I did. Still not perfect, but it's good. And honestly my biggest complaint with this episode is the chap who plays Kaagh. After the wonderful spark of life Christopher Ryan brought to Staal and Dan Starkey brought to Skorr, Kaagh just seems flat by comparison.

Saturday Night Live, the show with the Tiger Woods skit in it, aired on 12/5/09. Best SNL skit since Tina Fey's tour de force performance as Sarah Palin.

That skit was terrible and represents a low-point for SNL, which is really saying something since the show has been nothing short of terrible for roughly the past decade. SNL has been rather crude before, but to make fun of the subject material presented in that skit was beyond crossing the line.

No, it was not in any way funny and was beyond offensive as it portrays Elin Woods in a rather, and undeservedly, unsavory light, especially in light of everything that she has been through in the past couple of weeks. If SNL wanted to make fun of Tiger Woods, that's fine, as his admissions of "transgressions" certainly give them enough fodder for such skits, but I thought it was extremely mean-spirited of the program to drag Ms. Woods into their mockery, as, until proven otherwise, she has done nothing to deserve such a public and crude characterization.

But I guess SNL accomplished their goal, which was to get people talking about it again. It's a shame that they had to stoop so low to accomplish that, however.

I have to agree with elizabeth here, I found the skit rather funny. Sure it went on too long, but that's representive of all SNL skits. in the last 20 years.

[Tybre]

Well just to see what all this mess is about, just went and watched it on YT. Agree it does go on a bit too long, but personally I still found it pretty damn funny.

MEDIUM, Season 5.

Yes, I know - this show was kind of formulaic at the beginning and, well, could be boring through its predictability.

However, in the last two seasons the pace picked up, the cases became more interesting AND the family stories became very believable and fun and even thrilling because it was NOT the typical "ooh, we all are so adorable and love each other no matter what"-stuff. Instead, and this is what also makes Season 5 great, the children are growing up which spices up the problems of the whole family in a very realistic way. The marriage, of course, works as an ideal grounding for the supernatural visions, and this season marks a total improvement on the cases. Not episode one, however, which still is a bit pedestrian. But from then on, the show gathers momentum.

A few seasons ago I would have counted MEDIUM as a so-so show and wouldn´t have recommended it. Now, it´s must see DVD for me. Season 5 is the best one yet.

Nu-uh, the "Red ships of Spain" sketch is perfect

I kind of find myself on the t-side here. I don't think it goes way over the line, I'm not sure if I even think there is a line. But I really don't think it's all that funny, it's one mildly amusing gag stretched well beyond its limit with no real escalation or pay-off. And you have to wonder how different the reaction to the sketch would be were the genders switched.

SNL has specialized in irreverent tastless humor since NBC launched the series in 1975. Since then, I've gotten used to their brand of humor. I have found that their best sketches and skits have been performed when the event is current, such as with Tiger Woods. The political impersonations have been by far the best and most memorable, while sketches involving sports figures are mixed. Loved the golf club prop and help-me sign with the Tiger skit, but will it be as memorable as those involving other sports figures? I remember one involving a basketball match between Charles Barkley and Barney The Dinosaur, for instance. Any others?

This is not the issue, however. Of course, making fun of Tiger Wood is timely, and it is an appropriate source of humor because Tiger Woods made the decision to put himself out there as a public figure. Ms. Woods, however, has done no such thing. She's been a very private individual, only showing up in the "spotlight" as a supportive wife who attends golf matches to support her husband. She has done nothing to deserve the vicious characterization that SNL decided to attribute to her. The skit was beyond tasteless, and while it will be one of the more memorable skits of recent years, it will be so for all of the wrong reasons. The unfair characterization of Ms. Woods and the skit's trivialization of domestic violence are simply disgusting and will cause me to mark the end of my viewing of that awful show.
