Rio, no need to apologize for complaining! 3 years is too young to kill a car.

May your premiums be dealable and your car get back under your hands soon. But not on ice!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh please, Rio -- this is totally complaint-worthy.

Poor sick ita.

And I finally figured out that this is actually an old DH rerun, not last week's. I was kind of confused there for a bit.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

MI-5: I'm a little disappointed that they went for the easy and obvious ending. I would have liked it better if the retired double agent had survived, and the senior MI-6 guy had been called on the carpet for his perfidy.

By an odd coincidence, one of the books I am re-reading this weekend is Running Blind by Desmond Bagley, which is another British spy story involving the murders of British agents to further a British espionage operation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Really? I liked it that he bought it, but that might be my investment in seeing Danny broken up -- and I think it worked very well after the episode before, where Tom's idealism is stretched to the breaking point, and snaps in all their faces.

Well, the Vicodin is working. I hate this feeling, but I hate it less than pain.

I'd better be better tomorrow, dammit.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm glad, ita, and I hope you will.

A box of wine just arrived! now only if we had chocolate cake to go with the wine... life would be greatly improved.

Ah. I missed MI-5 last week. Sounds like it made a difference.

You could get chocolate cake at Porto, Kat, though not until tomorrow.

The MI-5 eps are pretty sequential this series, dcp. Lots of emotional throughlines and development.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Harry seems to be more active this season. He's really getting into the action more.
