Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I wouldn't have known - except that Christian Kane tweeted something about it over the weekend.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
To add to that, Amazon is showing me that the Justified Season 3 DVDs will be released on December 31, 2012.

I was really disappointed in this week's Leverage. The "bad guy" this week wasn't a bad guy. She was just a person trying to do her job. She didn't even treat people particularly badly. The looks that we get at the end when the mark realizes they've been had are really fun. This time, it just felt smug.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I get your point, but the abusive practices in the store was pretty terrible. She was doing her job, but she wanted to get high profits from the store by any means necessary - having workers forego their breaks, working people to death, not really caring whether the store was really built on toxic ground, etc.
if she had said: let me see your soil reports and not trumped up illegal charges against the supposed environmental researcher, I would have had a lot more sympathy. That act alone made her very unsympathetic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd assumed the toxic job environment was coming from the top down. Working for free, preventing potential union gatherings, shit like that. The part with pulling the local economy and funnelling it through one enterprise (that might also result in random other US jobs being shipped abroad)--that's the "just doing business" part of it. Deliberately trying to close the stores, as started off the whole process...that's not cricket.

Oh, I'm not saying that she was totally innocent, but she was just doing her job. Not a great job, but she wasn't evil. I like my antagonists a bit more antagonistic. It felt a little Pangs-y.

Isn't there a point where "just your job" is cruel and harmful and you can be held responsible for said job? If there had been some sort of duress, sure. But she seemed aware of the bad things she was doing, and all in.
