So I happen to be bad with declarative statements.

A few weeks back, I stated quite explicitly that I am not writing tv reviews anymore. I really don't think I'm going about this plan the right way. Oh, well, it's not like my track record could get any crappier anyway.

I wasn't so sure about Julie at first, but she's been growing on me lately, and if she makes poor Matt happy, I won't say anything bad about her, ever.Yeah, I feel exactly the same way. I know a lot of folks loved her immediately and while I liked her fine, I'm always wary of that character. You know --the cute, witty, snarky, quasi-outsider who is awesome in every single way but no one can see it because she's smart and quiet so she remains on the fringes of popularity. That character irks me because...that girl *wouldn't* be an outsider anywhere except on tv

You are right on there, girl. That's exactly what I was thinking, only put more coherently.

I like it that Julie is really just a regular sassy high school girl, and they aren't pushing at us how special or how different she is. And she probably tries (ha) to avoid football players just because she realizes that, her daddy being the boss of the football circus, it might put her in uncorfortable position. A precaution that I don't think she takes all that seriously and is mostly just a smoke screen that might scare off a few suitors at a low cost and effort. I hope then that, when Matt continues to stumble through his way to pick her up, she isn't gonna put that much resistance.

About the '- Linc', well, I admit that the sunglasses and the half open shirt made me a bit more favorably inclined towards him lately. On second thought, though, they are throwing him back into the joint any time now, so bye sunglasses, bye bye shirt. So you might be right.
Seriously, 'Prison Break' did real good this week.
