Like Looking in the Mirror

..or, you know, feeling really in sync with someone I've never met. Either way...

Why do I think Rachel and I may have been seperated at birth? I present the evidence:

Don't get me wrong; I'm not so shallow as to love a certain actor for looks alone. Talent is necessary, explaining why you'd have to pay ME money to watch a Brad Pitt movie.

Last year, Lucius Vorenus was on his own new show called "Journeyman", which of course was canceled. I blame it on the chick who played his wife. She was MOST dour and unpleasant.

I sooo could've written that. I tried really hard to love that show, but I couldn't stand the wife - ugh! Watched it anyway. Now they have something similar in "Life On Mars"....but they subject us to Lisa Bonet (Can not act. Who ever told her she could act? Oh yeah)

And almost this:

Samantha Who? I adore Christina Applegate and don't even know why. I know why guys do, the whole Kelly Bundy thing, but I just think she's hilarious. Again, show made good with casting. You know what I mean if you watch this show. Ahhhndrea and Dena? LOVE THEM.
Find that show a little over the top, though Applegate makes it work and I still watch it more often than not. Ahhhndrea grates on me, she is just one of those actresses who have always bugged me.

Fringe. Totally digging this. The dude who played Denethor in LOTR plays a crazy genius here, and I LOVE HIM. I also dig how serious the lead female is. She's, like, serious. I believe her about how serious she is. She's the most serious pretty blonde of serious intentions I've ever seen.
NOT totally digging it, though I really wanted to. I love the cast, especially the crazy genius, but not the stories. Maybe it just needs to find it's stride, but it seems to be trying to fit too much into the plot - they didn't need all the subplots so early in the series.

BTW: In other similarities, D has a dog that is (almost) a dead ringer for Sunny
