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

I only know him from The Wire.

I'm not quite halfway through the episode, but I'm liking the plot more than most recent ones. I keep watching for the characters. And I'm glad for the return of McNichol - I like him much better on Numbers than on 24.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, I missed Larry so much! I was so worried about him! I was terrified he'd come back wrong.

It was a good episode.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I was okay with Numb3rs until Charlie was lecturing the FBI on interrogation methods. That made absolutely no fucking sense.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, the first Michael Shanks episode of 24 was tonight. And there was plenty of him.

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

I just saw Tim Daly on some Hallmark movie, The Outsider, with Naomi Watts , a Westerny thing where he played a killer who's found by Watts character, who is a Plain woman, a widow, and he has a tortured past but as he heals they fall in love and she leaves her religion and family to marry him.

I love that movie, in a sort of Lord King Bad Movie way. I've practically transcribed the thing to shrift in chat.

I saw the very end of that movie. Sadly, I believe I missed all of the shirtlessness.

Thrive to spite them

I missed the reason the Plain elders met in the rain at Rebecca's house and she was being forced to admit her sins --did she and Johnny get caught kissing?

And I wanted more about them day to day after they got married, I think there was too much build up about the sheep and the cattle and all of that. Like I wanted a scene where she goes to put her hair up like normal and then decides to wear it down all the time.

I think Johnny Gault wins for the most horrible secret man pain. Tim Daly did a decent job with describing that because I almost went to a "oh! woobie" place rather than just rolling my eyes at the over the topness.

I believe they were actually caught in flagrante. The not!Amish were not pleased.

Oh! And I missed Sexy Tim Daly action! Hallmark needs to air that again so I can record it and watch the shirtless parts again.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

is this where I ask "who is Johnny Gault?"
