I was surprised, definitely.

JUST WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK YOU GUYS.

(I really *really* wish I could talk about this show in real time. But I'm also not willing to wait a week to watch episodes I have access to now...)

I was pretty shocked also. One minute it's New Dude and Carrie watching the feed (didn't Saul go home?), five minutes later, there's a CIA Swat team there? I suppose if anyone would have rapid response teams, it would be them. I guess there was a team sitting outside in a van the whole time she was there?

I love-love-love that the show validated Carrie's intuition, both in last week's big reveal, and this week's action on what she saw after he talked about ECT.

Virgil's brother (in law?) is it Tim? Ted? looks like he is going to prove to be a keen observor. It did not go unnoticed that he told Carrie he'd believed in her along (and I believed his sincerity) nor that he was looking keenly at the board and absorbing all the info until he was shoo'd away by someone (who?). Not sure where that's going, but I'll be watching him in the future.

It'll be interesting to see where they go with Mike and Drunk Soldier. I presume Mike will be pursuing this and collide with Carrie et al. at some dramatic time on the same search for info about Walker.

I loved the shot with Carrie against the black tablets at CIA HQ with what looked like a coded message, and Goo gle-fu tells me it's Krypos. [link] "Of the four messages, three have been solved, with the fourth remaining one of the most famous unsolved codes in the world."

Is anyone else watching The Big C? I'm catching up on On Demand. I like Laura Linney so much I'll probably continue, but even occasionally-foul-mouthed I was offended by the swearing in the ep where her brother comes into her classroom and goes off on a tirade. Then her son started swearing later in the ep also. Sorry Showtime, it doesn't shock, just irritates, and it doesn't add to your show, it detracts - it's lazy writing. It makes "not having ads" a big plus, instead of, you know, good writing, good plotlines.

I was amused by seeing Victor Garber on the show, though again, frat-boy potty mouth and sex stuff is not that amusing. Is that who watches this show? Or I am more the demographic? I wonder.

I like it, but, of course I'm watching the DVDs and have no idea what's going on with the current season.Pretty soon, though, right, she'll either die, or resume life with a future again, right? As fun as the show can be, sometimes I get frustrated with with the feeling-great-but-still having no tomorrow fantasyland aspects of it, although the death at the end of last season threw me a curve. Linney sells it pretty well and I love the actress from Precious whose name I can't spell. But sometimes it reminds me of those people who write into little_details looking for a disease for their fanfics that kills you but doesn't make you look disgusting or nothing, and then I get pissed, and I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because lucky people have time to think like that. The rest of us get what we get, whether we stay sexy to the end, or not.

I watch the Big C. I loved the first two season and hated the third. Next season in their last. The language in the show has never bothered me.

We are catching up on last season of Dexter and during the introduction of Travis and The Professor, the DH turned to me and said, "That guy isn't real, just like Dexter's dad." Was it that obvious during the actual season?

Scrappy, I didn't catch it, but a lot of people did.

I just saw a preview for Hunted, which premiers next Friday on Cinemax. It looks really, really good.

I really like it so far. Aside from the one scene with the eyeball, which I never ever need to see.
