Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Production Team: Simon Kinberg, Doug Liman, Dave Bartis

They're not spies, they're assassins. Spies are boring. And have been done to death.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was amazed at the number of pilots either from movies, or BBC remakes.

Having finished watching Life on Mars, I'm suddenly a lot more protective of it than I was when I first heard of the American remake. Maybe I'll feel better when they finalize casting, but I doubt it.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Maybe I'll feel better when they finalize casting, but I doubt it.
Three words (or, more accurately, two names and a letter): David. E. Kelley.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I keep hoping David E. Kelly can do something as good as Picket Fences or the first couple of seasons of Ally McBeal again.
A modern day Phillip Marlowe sounds intriguing to me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I love that Mike is back to acting like Mike. I miss Bree.
Me, too, on both. Mike is actually making me like Susan a little bit again. I guess not having Bree around leaves more room for Edie, which has turned out pretty well, I'm liking her quite a bit as an actual character and not just a foil; but it also seems to require Lynn to more obtuse than usual. I'm all for the Schavos (or however you spell it) having problems, but I don't like Lynn flirting with another man.
I'm apparently more invested than I thought.

24: Additional thought about the Bill Buchanon sitch: he can totally help rogue Jack out -- well, once Jack escapes which I'm sure he will.
