I missed you Simon Campos.

The fact that it’s Thursday and I haven’t watched the NBC comedies feels wrong, but it was Flashforward (or as I will from hence forth be referring to it The Simon Campos Show) night so they’ll just have to wait until this weekend.

During the hiatus I asked myself how much I really cared about this show. I mean the writing is mostly cringe-worthy, there’s lots of scifi mumbo jumbo, the characters despite the best efforts of an incredibly talented ensemble are pretty thinly drawn and it’s a show that clearly wishes it was Lost, but most certainly never will be.

It’s fun and I do care about the characters even though I don’t feel as if I really know them. But the real reason I will watch this show for as long as ABC lets me is Dominic Monaghan. I love that man. And yes 50% of that love comes from the fact that he was Charlie Pace and I will never not love Charlie Pace more than every other character on Lost combined with the exception of Juliet. But the other 50% is genuine affection for Dominic Monaghan as an actor.

And he is acting the hell out of this. Now join me under the cut for some serious capslocking.
