Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"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.
