Best. Gay. Week. Ever. (January 9, 2008)

SUPERNATURAL: Just when I’d accepted that Supernatural was a mediocre show that I was only watching so I could gape in awe at the Hottest TV Duo of All Time, it went and got really good. I’m both fascinated and genuinely creeped out by these “angels” and the battle between heaven and hell. And Misha Collins as the angel Castiel makes a great addition to my “Wincest” fantasies!

THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES: How they managed to screw up this incredible franchise, I do not know. But screw it up, they did. Someone please pull the plug, then give the wonderful Summer Glau her own show — and Brian Austin Green his own sex tape.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: Oh, Battlestar, we used to be so wildly in love, you and I. But lately we’ve grown apart. I know you’ve made an effort to win me back — outing Gaeta in the webisodes was a nice gesture. So why has it been so easy for me to quit you? Yes, you’ve done your crappy episodes, but what show hasn’t? It’s more this creeping feeling I get that you have no idea where you’re going with this story — that you’re just sort of making it all up as you go along.

J.J. Abrams did this to me once before, with this appallingly bad final season of Alias, so maybe I’m just worried about being burned. So it’s me, okay, not you? Anyway, let’s just say goodbye. But before we do, could I get the number of your hot new friend, Caprica?

DOLLHOUSE: Yes, I’ve seen the “revamped” pilot for Joss Whedon series that’s coming in February. Sadly, it just doesn’t work. I am a huge Buffy fan, and I really wanted to like this show. I also completely discounted the negative buzz, because the network hated Firefly too, and that turned out to be pretty damn good. But Eliza Dushku just isn’t the sort of actor who can pull off a character who assumes a different identity every week. My TV prognostications are notoriously unreliable, but I don’t see how this show can last.

I LOVE MY iPHONE!

My partner Michael (the editor of this site) and I spent the holidays with our friend Sarah (the founder of AfterEllen.com and AfterElton.com). Sarah is a tad, uh, obsessive about media and technology, so as usual, we emerged from our “vacation” with a zillion great new ideas for AfterElton.com and a whole host of cool new gadgets that she talked us into buying.

One of which was our new iPhones.

There are “early adapters” — those who climb on board new technology early, setting trends, but also dealing with kinks and buying lots of devices that never really catch on. Then there are “late adapters”, who are always late to the techno-party, but get their technology cheaper and with fewer bugs.

Then there’s me, who still can’t bear to throw out his old cassette tapes.
