I actually found this one on r.a.t. and decided that it was relevant
enough to repost. (I decided to stop reading Kristin's stuff because
she and her frenemy over at TV Guide were getting fairly identical in
their reports . . . until now.) Interesting comment about Scott
Patterson's status. The show's clearly as dead as a doornail.

Nooo! (Aliens in America Looks to Be a Goner...)
I'm not gonna lie. This is just about the suckiest scoop I've had to
report in a good long while, and it actually makes me tear up.
Aliens in America looks to be dead.
Casting sources connected to some other show (does it really matter
which one?) have informed me that Scott Patterson is now being
classified as "available for a new project next season."
He's the Tolchuck dad, you see, and an integral character on Aliens.
Aliens in America
And it gets worse: Adhir Kalyan, who plays Raja, also has been cast in
FX's Nip/Tuck for next season. It's only a recurring part, but I think
we all can see the writing on the wall, and it makes me a sad clown.
If you haven't yet seen this show, you have no idea how tragic it is
that Aliens gone. The show truly found its groove in later episodes,
and Momma Tolchuck (Amy Pietz) just might be the funniest woman on
television right now. (OK, next to Tina Fey and Jenna Fischer, but
still.)
The CW network has yet to weigh in, and the CBS-Paramount studio
officially has no comment. If something comes through contradicting
the news that Aliens in America is over, you'll be the first to hear
it. In the meantime, I'll be over in the corner sobbing quietly if
anyone needs me.

LORELAI: I am so done with plans. I am never, ever making one again.
It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.
