Aspiring screenwriter and seamstress, Sonia's dream is to write life-tweaking films while product-placing her own line of handbags. In 1999, she wrote, co-directed and co-starred in the short film Dr. Lovestrange, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bug, a satirical homage to Stanley Kubrick set amidst the panic of Y2K. She is working on her next short about the Mayan Calender that she hopes to finish before the end of the world. Ever the late bloomer, she finally started a blog chronicling her misadventures as one half of a long distance relationship (http://llddr.wordpress.com). She still struggles with which picture to kiss before bedtime: her boyfriend's or Bruce Campbell's. And, in the interest of time, she'd like to start thanking the Academy now. 2 Comments

Not brilliant, agreed, but I did think it was quite a step up from last week’s episode. For whatever reason, everything just felt about two degrees off in the last episode…except for Lee Pace, who was fantastic playing Ned as if his world was coming apart with Chuck’s decision to move out.
This week I laughed more, cried more, and generally was just more impressed with the fun and inventiveness of the episode. Okay, there was no crying.
Fingers crossed that it just keeps getting better…and the ratings go up…
I think that the thing that’s missing this season is the interaction between all the characters. Olive Snook is off at the convent, Chuck’s moved next door to Ned, Emerson is more emotionally involved with his own missing child than he is involved with the Pie Hole crew – there’s just too much fragmentation and the story is being pulled in too many directions at once.
If they wanted to split the team up, at least give us a half-dozen or so episodes with them all together before doing so – remind us why we love these characters and their world.
Here’s to getting the gang back together.
