He’s not nearly as bland as the lead guy in “Serenity.”

YEAH! I said it.

I have to confess that I did read the boards of “television without pity” to see if they could make sense of all of it. They couldn’t, but somebody did have a great response to the season premiere:

“Girl just can’t get married, can she?”

I don’t get the whole “Vaughn is hot” thing; the guy’s about as bland as you can get. Even Will Tippin was more memorable because he was annoying and you wanted him to die. How can anybody notice Vaughn when you’ve got Jennifer Garner all over the place being all stunning? And Lena Olin? And Lauren, who was finally hot when she turned evil? And hell, Francie had her moments, too.

I did think of a reason I want Vaughn to still be alive, though — because by the end of the series, I want every character to be somehow related to every other character.

I have to admit, watching Sydney and Vaughn making out and stuff after I knew that they had broken up in real life made me feel kind of…icky.

But I just hate the television need to never give any characters romantic closure because it’s “boring.” Always gotta through in amnesia, or a new wife, or cold feet, or death. It’s always SOMETING!

Plus, I think Michael Vartan is totally hot, so I’m going to miss that.

The funny bit about that is that the corn field, the moving train, the coffin, and all that seemed perfectly normal. It was the shawl and the purse that stood out. I’m really glad they wrote it into the story, and then fast-forwarded four months, so they don’t have to act like they’re fooling anybody by hiding it. I was worried they were going to have her abducted by aliens. (They haven’t done that yet, have they?)

Everything about Vaughn’s death seemed rushed and fake, but then everything about this show seems rushed and fake. I really can’t predict what they’re going to do with it — which is pretty good, I guess. The lead of your sexy action series has gotten pregnant, so you can’t have her do action scenes anymore and can’t have her be in every episode, so what do you do? You kill off the male lead of the show. Huh?

And whether he’s really dead, or a zombie, or a clone, or a double, or a quadruple-agent in hiding, I realized I really don’t care. I was saying that I have the same opinion of Vaughn that Jack Bristow does — I think he’s weak and boring and only tolerate him because he’s useful on occasion and he makes Sydney happy.

And the baby will be born a ZOMBIE!

There was something really anti-climactic about Vaughn’s death. I think that was his clone, or the death was staged to keep the evil dudes off his back. And I think when the baby is born, he’ll be a stay-in-hiding dad while Sydney continues to earn the big bucks kicking ass.

I loved watching them try and hide Garner’s belly last night. They used everything in the book: A shawl. A big purse. A corn field. A moving train.
