"I never sleep on planes."



"I don't want to get incepted."

For those of you who watched the entire episode, I too would like to have a baby in Canada with John Cho, the famous Québécois mobile meth dealer.

John Cho in suits!


The Cho Show, by Katherine Wheelock, GQ via Racialicious.


When John Cho was a kid growing up in Los Angeles, seeing a face like his on TV was a cometlike occurrence. When one appeared, "we'd all crowd into the living room," Cho says. "All Asians grew up doing that." The situation has improved only somewhat in the two decades since Long Duk Dong, Cho says. "There was a while where every role I was getting offered was extremely noble—like the judge or the kindly nurse."

Lucky for us, Cho is doing some actual heavy lifting in Hollywood these days—leveling Romulans alongside Chris Pine in Star Trek ($250 million) and rolling blunts for a possible third Harold & Kumar film. His fan base of geeks and frat boys [and me!] ought to program their TiVos for Cho's latest endeavor, FlashForward, which ABC is promoting like it's the next Lost (no pressure!). Judging from the first episode, we think this one might actually deliver. [ . . . ]


That is all.

I knew there was something missing in the new/old Star Trek.


Black to the Future, by Danielle Belton, The Black Snob.

TOP FIVE REASONS WHY THERE ARE SO FEW BLACKS IN THE FUTURE

1. Segregation. Most of us are working the elevator lifts and have other shitty jobs no one else wants.

2. New DNA technology allows us to be "bred" out making, white skin a dominate gene trait.

3. Still too broke for space!

4. New technology allows people the choice on whether to be born black or not. God. Was that a story in "Faces At the Bottom of the Well" because that sounds scary as shit.

5. Hey! That AIDS finally worked. Wait. What?

OK. I've officially scared myself with all these oddly plausible scenarios. Anyone else got a theory on how we got left behind?


I counted two black people in the Star Trek trailer, and one of them was also playing the role of "the girl." Then there was the beloved John Cho, who had approximately 4 seconds of screen time. I will hypothesize that all the colorful people, along with and including all the women, found a peaceful planet, and left the paler gentlemen to play their reindeer games.

Is that an American accent? I thought Sean Maguire always played British.

John Cho is working. Eddie Kaye Thomas is working. Jason George is working? I did not know that. Is Eli Stone still on? And Lauren Stamile is still working, too.

Good for you, cast of Off Centre. Like so many shows on The WB, it left too soon. I'm looking at you, Grosse Pointe.

Polar bears are back in season!



Note to Judd Apatow: That's how you do tubby, scruffy guys. Not all of them have to be women-hating, socially retarded ne'er-do-wells. For additional reference, I suggest you observe Kevin Smith. Not necessarily his movies, but more his guest appearances on Degrassi.

Cliff is the best! He is now my favorite part of Ugly Betty As I told Stephanie earlier this week, you'd think I'd stay away from (polar) bears after Knocked Up, Superbad and the Daniel from Pajiba crazy situation. But apparently, I have some depth, and I can see past the pale, round, furry facade. Polar bears are back in season! There really need to be some more cute round guys of various colors on TV so I can make my brown bear/black bear/panda bear jokes.

Second runner-up: Gio.



See, Gio is about something. He has an entrepreneurial spirit. In less than a season, he created his own sandwich shop. Plus, there's this:



It's over between me and Mr. Grubstick, since he is going to Tuscon in five months to be with his baby mama. There is so much wrong with that sentence. Maybe Kenny can mop up my tears.

I'm still not watching



Star Trek. Or House.

Yet I will be at Harold and Kumar 2. I'm so weird. Also, I heart NPH.
