Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It made me realise how much I was taking for granted with The Inside. I mean, we have a woman who has difficulty relating to others, who's had a huge trauma as a kid, and is devoting their life to solving issues relating to death and crime.
But completely uninteresting. Yeah, I bitched about Rebecca's blank affect. This isn't that. This is ... plasticky. The writing's not tight, the suspense non-existent.
Just not good.
It looks like he'll have a huge, long running hit series on FOX, then.
Didn't work for Point Pleasant.

Totally. The books have a much more serious tone, IIRC.
Oh, and now seems the time to ask. The Tivo Newsletter seems to believe that Monk is a spinoff of CSI. Can somebody tell me they're craxy before my head explodes?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Big-time craxy.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

The book character that, I believe, DB's character is based on is pretty arrogant, but he can be charming, too. He's a detective trying to woo Temperance, but she's very skittish (been hurt, blah blah blah). So, he's trying to woo without becoming too overpowering. One of the things I like about the book character is that he's not all schmoopy with her. Arrogant? Oh yeah. Smarmy? Not.

ita took the words out of my fingers.
Though this might be a hit anyhow, since people seem to love the procedurals. (They tend to be a little too dark for me.)

Because books.
DB just looks strange to me as not!Angel. Which can't be a good thing. Typecasting is nothing to shoot for.

Fortunately for him (now), not all that many people watched Angel.
