Season finale: Life Unexpected

Life Unexpected

So, 13 episodes gone already. My, how time flies. An unexpectedly edgy show for the network that gave us Privileged, Gossip Girl, America’s Next Top Model, 90210 and Melrose Place, Life Unexpected has seen foster child Lux locate her birth parents in an attempt to get emancipated, only to be thrown into their care instead – thrusting radio show host Cate and bar-owning Baze into the scary world of parenting a 16-year-old daughter.

It’s not been picked up for a second season yet or by a UK network, but just in case it does, let’s talk about whether the first season was worth sitting through and whether a second season is going to be a much-watch.

Sitting Tennant

Monday’s Sitting Tennant (week 15, 2010)

Toby's Sitting Tennant

Today’s slightly self-referential Sitting Tennant is from Toby, who’s going to cause all sorts of people at Gallifrey Base to get into a sweat about parallel universes when “it’s just a TV show” should have been enough to help them deal with the issue. Captions please!

  1. Rullsenberg, Erin C: 90
  2. Sister Chastity, Toby: 80
  3. Sabine: 60
  4. Rachel: 45
  5. Karen: 35
  6. Dawn: 5

It’s a double header for Tobes, since in caption land, the popular vote awarded him 10 points as well. I do hope no bribes are being exchanged. Five points to everyone else for contributing such wonderful other captions, and good luck to everyone again this week.

  1. Toby: 75
  2. Rullsenberg: 65
  3. Electric Dragon, Marie: 55
  4. Jane Henry: 50
  5. ecg: 40
  6. Rachel: 35
  7. Sabine, SK: 20
  8. kellyann06, Sister Chastity: 10
  9. whogal, Joe B: 5

Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. Don’t forget to include your name in the filename so I don’t get mixed up about who sent it to me.

The best pic in the stash each week will appear on Monday and get ten points; the runners up will appear on Friday (one per person who sends one in) and get five points.

You can also enter the witty and amusing captions league table by commenting on Monday’s Sitting Tennant photo, the best caption getting 10 points, everyone who contributes getting five points.
