jen’s top 10 of ‘07

So Kristin just posted her Top 10 shows of 2007 and because I am nothing if not a stalker follower (seriously, isn’t there some saying out there about imitation being the best form of flattery or something?), I thought I’d post my list as well.
Except…it’s really a lot harder than I expected. For one, we [...]

i’m changing my name to ‘elle’

Seriously.
As many of you know, I’ve been kind of ambivalent about Heroes this season. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still among my top 10 favorite shows — and even top, oh, six or so — but this season started out rather sluggishly. Tim Kring & Co. do what a lot of writers do, in that [...]
