there was a new episode of The Lone Gunmen on last night, though the season (and series) finale was a few weeks ago. i had no idea that it was going to be on, and i almost missed it. thankfully, i was watching the Simpsons right before it and saw the preview.

and you know what? it's too bad Fox cancelled this show. it's good, and i've liked the series from the beginning, but last night's episode was great. Yves kicked some ass, and she didn't use any high tech devices to take down her opponent. she used her fists and a great little boot-to-the-head move to take down the traitorous rose-colored-glasses-wearing bitch.

we got a tantalizing little bit with Yves in which, it seems, we see that she isn't hiding her identity to protect herself or just to have a Kewl Anagram Name, but that she's doing it out of fear or shame. finally, some more character development for Yves. also, she shows concern for Jimmy, not once, but twice in this episode, the second time worrying that he may be dead after being struck with a dart containing the Chinese Poison of Death.

Yves is warming up to Jimmy too. she backed off of the insulting comments and (not so) subtle allusions to his dumb-as-rocksness. Yves and Jimmy really work well together, her worldly, intelligent skankiness complementing his innocent, not-so-bright naivety. actually, because of the ass-kicking, and the character development, and the concern for Jimmy, i'll stop calling Yves a skank. she's turning out to be a cool character. she needs to keep in mind, though, that Jimmy is mine, and she'd do well to keep her hands off of him.

of course, none of this matters anymore since the show has been cancelled, though i'm sure there will be plenty of shows like "Not Really Interesting Police Videos" and "When the Elderly Attack" to fill in the space left in the schedule.
