Song for Scott Guber

Goodbye Scott, and I'm sorry they wiped you
I think I'm the only fan you ever had
Most people thought you were evil, or mad.
But all they did was misconstrue you;
You were far greater than your fat boss
You never sought glory for yourself,
You loved your lousy job, at your own loss
You let yourself be left upon the shelf
And instead you did all the nasty work
The unpopular decisions, everything
That Stevens always decided to shirk.
When late in your office you began to sing
I saw that you were not at all the prick
That the others made you out to be
You had class, and heart, and with every click
Of your fingers your beauty I could see
Music, of course, was the love of your life
But it showed me the power of your love
And through all your crusades, your painful strife
You never lost that hope or that love
And eventually, you let us all see it
But their hatred for you refuses to wear:
You're dead now, so they say I shouldn't care
But I swear one day I'll make them believe it.

My List of the Top Five TV Shows

1. GILMORE GIRLS
“Special? As in stop eating the paste special?”
No one I’ve retold this too ever gets it. And I laughed for ten minutes straight after Rory Gilmore asked Logan Huntzberger thit in a mock-hurt way. Maybe someone else might have caught it too and laughed harder than me. Even though it was delivered faster than brownies disappear in our class. I do hope someone else got it, so I don’t feel like I’m this weird person who only gets the weird jokes and this is a terribly awkward sentence to end. Every episode leaves me with this bubbly-good feeling (except when Logan and Rory break up over and over) and also a sense of amazement at the sheer genius of the writers (Amy and Dan Palladino). And I only ever manage to catch about 13% of the wittier than Jay Leno pop-culture references, which are characteristic of Gilmore Girls.
Minus points: Er…none? This is Gilmore Girls we’re talking about! Ok, maybe Dean is a bit annoying. And Jess leaves too soon! But Logan comes into the picture…

2. CHARMED
I haven't seen a lot of the earlier seasons (which I hear were brilliant) but whatever I saw, I loved! Hello! Three gorgeous women saving the world again AND again, very goodlooking whitelighters to be saved and cool magic-y special effects! Full girl power and everything. Beats Buffy by a mile even though they don't have Spike.
Minus points: Ok, so *sometimes* it does get a *bit* unbelievable...and NO SPIKE (the super cool vampire with a British accent)! And they kill Drew Fuller, though he does come back one last time (*yay*)

3. ONE TREE HILL
Yes, this is a stupid teenage drama show, and no, I cannot relate it to my life (*raises eyebrows in general direction*), but it is SO entertaining! Unlike the OC which is only about you-know-what and gets incredibly hard to keep up with, there is actually a plot here, which constantly makes me squeal "They did not *not* just do that! I WANT NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE NOW!". And of course, it employs James Lafferty =)
Minus points: Luke (Chad Michael Murray)'s philosophizing. Making HIM the philosophical character? What is up with that?

4. LOST
Goodlooking people (and nice hero-type sorts too!) stranded on a mystery island. Where can you go wrong? Danger, mystery and suspense at every step! Enough mindbenders for the intellectuals and more than enough action for the rest. Never bores, always involves lots of bitten nails and edge-of-the-seat-squealing-and-covering-eyes action.
Minus points: The whole mystery thing does get a tad overdone and they never tell us anything, just create more and more *mysterious situations*. AND they killed Boone (Ian Somerhalder)!


5. PRISON BREAK
Would've rated this higher, but I've only seen seven episodes. It is, however, EXTREMELY entertaining and interesting. Goodlooking guy (again!), terribly brainy (this is the different bit) stuck in prison, coming up with meticulous plans to break out, thus its name, "Prison Break". Again, entirely full of suspense and never a lull in the action!
Minus points: A bit too gruesome for my taste...lots and lots of grit and blood.
