I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'm watching NumbThreeRs and liking it, Erin. But I am not sufficiently mathy to critique. Or rather, I'm lazy. I could look at the equations, but I keep thinking, isn't this why I have Buffistas? To look at tv equations for me, so I can be righteously indignant without actually having to check?

But until someone tells me they're heinous tv numbers, I'm liking it. I meant to watch Medium, too, but I never did.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

There are some things I don't buy, but they're mostly innate mastery of computer programs that work in a domain other than math of physics

Like the building structural swaying computer-thing? That was one of the things I wondered about -- it made me think, "Huh, is he a Mary Sue?"

But it was still fairly entertaining.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am finding David Krumholtz kinda hot in Numbers. I met him at a party a couple of years ago and thought he was okay but he's grown into his face a bit. Great eyes, and I think he's a good actor--actually I think the show has a terrific all round cast.

Also, I consider myself incredibly bossy, but either folks around me don't mind, or I am wrong about my McBosserpants quotient.

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

Like the building structural swaying computer-thing?

For me it was the DNA software -- it's so much less math at that point (or my mother wouldn't be able to hack it) -- I can fuzz more of the physics stuff, what with the applied math quotient.

I think bossiness requires an ability to follow through which I just don't have.

Which is for the best. I'd be so much more annoying that way.

I do like Medium; sometimes Arquette is a little to flat-emotioned for me, but I like that she has to work around a lot of RW issues, and it's not psychic-in-a-vaccuum.

Liese, that you even THINK about working out the equations is more mathy than I. I wonder where the Indian potential-GF from Ep 1 went. Did she get a new job or something, cause I thought she would be a regular.

And would that female FBI agent please COMB HER GODDAMN HAIR. She can tie her shirt in a fancy way, but her hair seriously looks like she's been on a three-day bender in Mexico and got gum in her hair.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Erin, were you as creeped out by the Hyatt Skywalk reference as I was?

I think Medium can be interesting, but I find her character very cranky and off-putting. What, did God give her psychic powers by removing her sense of humor?

My HS auditorium was built by the same people, and they made the same structural boo-boo to our catwalks.

COMB HER GODDAMN HAIR.

OMG, yes! When they were walking in to meet with Big Whosis, I kept thinking, you know, if she really looked this unprofessional, no one would ever take her seriously. This from me, with the belief that grooming is overrated in general! Heh.

I am not bossy. I am anti-bossy. If I were a boss, I'd be the worst boss ever. I have spent a reasonable amount of time in my professional life trying not to get promoted into a position that would result in being a boss. And I suspect that if I ever were a boss, I would be the bossiest boss ever in overcompensation. And then I would have to micromanage, because everyone except me is incompetent, and then my hair would grow into points and that would just be bad.
