"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

You may recognize LaGuerta as Gloria from Oz,

That's why she seemed so familiar!!!

and you may recognize Doakes as Moses from Oz.

Moses doesn't ring any bells, however. My Oz viewing was mostly as it originally aired, and I haven't rewatched more than a handful of episodes, so people who didn't last or get a major story line tend to get lost in favor subsequent seasons short timers (and honestly, without major re-watching, I tend to let shows fade to the background - what sticks is what sticks, and a lot doesn't).

Michael C. Hall on SFU was amazing, and one of the best reasons to check the series out. Even when I couldn't stomach just about any of the other characters, and even when his was being irredeemably obnoxious, he was fascinating to watch. Needless to say, a very different character (apart from carving up bodies, now that I think about it). I'm just grateful they didn't cast Matthew St. Patrick as Doakes (he would have been perfect, but it would be hella disturbing to see that vibe going down).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hee.

Moses doesn't ring any bells, however.

Yeah, honestly, I didn't quite remember him either. I looked him up, and he was one of the many characters on Death Row. I believe I have vague memories. Ah, here's a short summary.

t's...like Trekkie twisted, how stoked I would be to have his coffee cup.

Sadly, I'm going out of town this weekend so I can't hook you up.

Always Anti-fascist!

I don't need it. Not as much as I need to feel superior to the guy who turned his flat into the Starship Enterprise. David from Six Feet Under is really starting to grow on me. I mean, I still think he is...uptight, but I think we share a preoccupation with Doing The Right Thing that makes him relatable sometimes.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Finished Dexter season 1 tonight. Overall I enjoyed it, but the ending was a bit meh to me. Also I can't stand his sister. Ugh!

Aw, don't hate on Deb. She's got gumption.

Anyway, McNulty flaked on the garage sale.

It's kind of like...his character, anyway. 4 AM...well maybe there's something to it when actors bitch about long hours.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Saw the season finale of FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS. It was both sad and hilarious (Brett's dance of rage had me on the floor). I'm glad they have another season, both because I love it and I'd hate for this to have been the series finale (though I can see it working as such had they not been picked up).

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I was sad at the end! It was not my favorite episode-- not even any Conchords songs-- but probably endlessly rewatchable anyway. Especially the Flashdance/Footloose numbers.
