Fuck, I should really be watching Hustle -- it's on cable, so there are reruns, yeah? I can't even see ANTM until Tuesday!
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'll have to look for it, ita. Thanks.

I love how I'm all, "DAMMIT! Yet ANOTHER television show I'm sure I'd like?!?!"

AMC runs each ep 3 or 4 times, and they've done at least one marathon (of S1, right before they started airing S2).
I don't know if they've picked up the rights to S3 yet or not -- there's a legal issue with one of the eps which may cause problems, but I don't know the whole story so I can't say anything for sure.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
They pulled off a nice trolley shot in this past episode, way better than Spike Lee ever managed.
Which shot was this?

Is there a strong arc to Hustle, or can you jump in at a random point?

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

The one where the Cockney guy is in the art gallery, and has just had the Mondrian pointed out to him. I think it starts by them changing the focal length of the lens, but then they cut away to the painting and then back on him, and it's a trolley shot up until they pan to show the mark who is now at his side.
It is awful when you find good new TV, isn't it? At least all the traditional season is over.
This week my ability to get stress headaches instantaneously is back. I'm backsliding on the concussion stuff, I swear. Ironically, I'm training less than ever, so I can't blame krav, not in the near term. But the place where I hit my head is intermittently throbbing, and just catching a trigger thing on TV (immigrant West Indian father rendered near insensible by (possibly racially motivated) murder of his son) and boom! Pain!
I should get my stuff out of the dryer.

Nope -- there's some background continuity, but nothing crucial to any individual episode's plot. Watching the series premiere first is helpful because they set up all the characters, but you can mostly jump in anywhere.

Not really. The second ep I caught went over everyone's backstories, but basically the things that develop so far have been the Cockney integrating with the team, and Mickey's love life (neither of which are tremendous spoilers).

Cool. I will have to TIVO it, and then maybe ask lots of annoying questions.
