Natter 41: Why Do I Click on ita's Links?!
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.
I got out of the house! Sure, I feel like I have a hangover, but I got to see John (not Rogers, and he'd be pissed I'd need to qualify, but there you go). He's a Montreal friend who's in town to tape jeopardy. He's a great trivia hound, but perhaps more eclectic than Trebek needs. It is Trebek, right?
We went to Fat Fish, where I had a great meal, and met up with another of his friends who used to live in Montreal and just moved out here, and lives right near me, so I may have new friends. Well, new old friends. And I think they might sign up for krav.
Perkins -- wasn't Mile High tense? And then Waking The Dead was extra tense, and really, those Brits are mean mean people.
Yay for getting out, ita and old new friends.
It was, ita. I haven't been watching Waking the Dead. I don't need any more shows.
I got out of the house!
Cool. I seem to be watching the headache for you tonight. Feel free to pick it up later in the week.

Yet Silent Witness didn't do as much for me. I felt betrayed. By the Brits of course, it was one of those shows I picked on my own.
I haven't been watching Waking the Dead.
I think a fair amount of the tension is predicated on having watched the past season, especially the finale, because it sets up the emotional states. Not that I wouldn't recommend it, just that it'll be less affecting.
Feel free to pick it up later in the week.
Already full up. It's just one that I can drive with, as opposed to this morning.

It was an okay mystery show, I guess. The interpersonal stuff didn't grab me like it should, and it did take up a lot of non-mystery time, now that I think about it.
Damn. So this is my headache? Grrrrrrr...

I don't mind the time it took up so much as it wasn't very interesting to me. It just seemed snippy and mostly pointless. Which made it disappointing.
I am watching old Alias now. Can't believe I never watched this show.
I think, having seen only three episodes, I'm hooked on Da Vinci's Inquest. It's all so quietly played, with so many familiar faces. Well-written, too.
Today I saw Apophis figure out that a dead guy in an elevator inherited a peanut allergy from a liver transplant. Very odd.
I've heard good things about Da Vinci's Inquest. Does it show here?
Yup. My Tivo's catching it on Saturday afternoons. I forget what channel, but it's not an unusual one. I do recommend it; half the fun is going, Hey It's That Guy! a lot.
Also, it's a procedural with tons of women in it: cops, pathologists, lawyers, judges. Women and people who are not white, actually, although several of the core cast are white males. It feels more realistic, even if most of them (particularly the women) are rather too good looking. I dunno; I just like it.
It's got M-F showings at noon on WGN here. Not that I just checked or anything.
I caught an episode one late night. Jewel Staite as Da Vinci's horny teenage daughter was amusing.
In other news you people got me googling old college friends. So far I've learned that my senior year boyfriend is a middle school principal, one friend is chair of the theatre dept at a college in NC and his wife (also a friend) teaches at Wake Forest, and another is a well know X-Files fic writer. Oh my.
