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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

Apparently, there's an app called "Burner" that gives you a disposable area code that you can phonebank in different states and seem like a local. It made me think "That Techie is a wirefiend," but the people I said it to didn't get it.

erika,

I bookmarked that app. I might need it someday.
