Apparently the TV deities have decreed that I'll have nothing to watch in the fall except for Better Off Ted and So You Think You Can Dance. And maybe Melrose Place?

(I've only seen one season's worth of the original Melrose Place; happily, it was the season that included the scene where Kimberly took off her wig at the end of an episode. But the new show will have my favorite character, Sydney, plus Stephanie Jacobsen! So I'll at least check it out. Though this may be a case of "a little goes a long way" -- if I recall, every time they introduced a new character in the original series, they turned out to be a psychopath within 3-4 episodes. And yet, it didn't seem to occur to anyone in the core cast to move!)

I'm still in mourning for the loss of The Sarah Connor Chronicles, with the reviews that I've seen of the new Terminator movie adding insult to injury. I figure I'll camp out in the denial stage of grief for as long as possible. To that end, here's some spoilers for the opening of the first episode of season 3:

( real spoilers for S2, imaginary spoilers for S3 )

Naturally I can't reveal my source for this spoiler. But you can foster my denial -- tell me what happens next!
