Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Where's Lee? I just watched Hustle, and I think the most annoying thing was how long it took for a musical number!!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm Here!

I think I agree, Jesse. I think I need to fast forward and watch that part again. Possibly a lot.

I have 21 more minutes of work. People need to be posting more!

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

That was a brilliant part.

The pacing of this one was off for me, and made me realise that the pacing of last week's should have been--there was no hiccup to overcome, just a last-inning reveal. Yet, it worked because all that time went cleverly and smoothly, and I'm not still sure that I even understood this con.

Are they calling you auntie Sara?

Hustle: I understood the con, I think: they were tying to get him to invest in a movie that didn't exist, but I was still eyerolly a little, because they cheat honest men all the time (like Eddie) and because of the "poor me, I couldn't pursue my dreams so I was evil, but now I Have Seen The Light And Know Better" stuff.

Nah, I'm just Miss Sara.

Two little girls competing (well, one is, anyway. I can practically see the older-T- rolling her eyes) is exhausting.

It was last week's con that I didn't get.

Is Eddie the bartender? I don't think he counts. I'd have preferred the resolution if it'd have been more he's onto us, and if he's not, he's good now than just the one reason.

Ah. Suddenly, I can't remember last week's ep. Remind me what it was about? I remember now. I ended up handwaving a lot of the fine points of British banking law, and just focused on the doublecross.

I am having flashbacks of a guy I dated in highschool who had twin little sisters, who were a riot, but PHEW!

On Hustle, I think they'd make a distinction between an honest man and a good man.
