MickeyHanging on a Thread
In an earlier blog I wrote about the growing practice of multi-episode story arcs. While they do allow for much richer stories and character development, they also tend to leave us hanging, as a question or mystery is presented that we might not see the answer to for some time- if ever. Here, then, are some of the more pressing TV questions I'm hoping to see answered in 2007:
On Lost, the foot of a statue with four toes... have we ever see The Others (or even Crazy French Chick) barefoot?
On House, how long before Drs. House and Cutty finally fall madly in bed with each other?
On C.S.I., how long before someone finally offs Eckley? They all know how to avoid leaving evidence behind- and virtually everyone in the lab has motive.
On Galactica, how long before we meet the Cylons' God/Imperious Leader/Final Five models? Or at least a full frontal nude shot of Number Six?
On The Colbert Report, why does Tek Jansen have Aeon Flux's hair?
If The Dresden Files are any good, how long before SciFi cancels it to avoid being typecast as the Geek Channel?
On Venture Brothers, how long before the Monarch has a relapse and continues arching Dr. Venture?
On Heroes, how long before one of them 'just happens' to have to display their powers in public... and what plot device will have put them in spandex?
On Stargate, how long before they get a villain who doesn't get their jollies pretending to be gods?
On Doctor Who, why did the Time Lords hire H.R. Giger to redesign their TARDIS's?
On The Simpsons, how long before the No Child Left Behind laws require Springfield Elementary to socially promote Bart and his friends to the next grade?
On Smallville, when will Clark realize that having superpowers and invulnerability to most things is a good thing and STOP THE HELL WHINING ENDLESSLY ABOUT IT FOR GOD'S SAKE???????
On Jericho, when will they stop adding new players to the cast and do something with the people they already have?
On The 4400, when will they decide whether the 4400 were sent back to stop or cause the Catastrophe?
On any given news show, when will the anchors finally stop struggling to keep a straight face?
