Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Production Co.: Regency TV/Dutch Oven
Production Team: Simon Kinberg, Doug Liman, Dave Bartis
Based on the hit feature about a married couple who are spies

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.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

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.

ION, Kidnapped is out on dvd today.

Do we talk about Gilmore Girls here? Or in comedy?

It was good to see Luke and Lorelai getting back together.

I continue to love Doyle and Paris.

And Rory doesn't get everything that she wanted.

And people name their apartments? Did I miss the explanation of why?
