Busy flailing brb

I will most likely have to do some sort of flail-filled reaction post to the season finales of my favorite shows, but for now, I leave you with a linkspam:

* Chuck has been renewed for a 13-episode season 5! Wooo! (Especially since the season finale is called "Chuck vs. the Cliffhanger.") It's also the final season, sadly, but it's three seasons longer than I ever expected it to get, so I'm just gonna be thankful for this.

* From the "I'll watch it so [livejournal.com profile] pocochina doesn't have to" file: an analysis of how similar Aaron Sorkin's new pilot is to his other shows. The verdict? Jury's still out. Comparing the mentor/BFF relationship between two female characters to Dana and Natalie on Sports Night is promising. On the other hand, "he just has too much integrity" reaaaaaally worries me.

* Here's a list of female-driven TV pilots in consideration for next season. Not many I really have a desire to watch, although the zombie one sounds kinda fun. Also kinda WTFy that the article describes women as "bitchy" and "slutty" in the taglines, like, what is the message of this article? "Hey, female characters are awesome, but we don't actually respect them!"

* 40 things that will make you feel old. The Clarissa one really hurts.
