He wasn't totally random - he used to work at the mine where Boyd was trying to go straight. He was pretty interesting back then, too, though seeing more of his layers is cool. I kind of love that Ellie Mae has become such a pivotal figure.

I watched the stump unveiling through my fingers. I have to wonder why I do that, it's not like I see any less.

Eta: ooh, is that our old friend Holland in the preview?

While Tim not putting up with ANY of this bullshit is why I love him, it is a crying goddamn shame that we did not get any naked Tim Gutterson times.

Anyone watching Acceptable Roughness and their (at least) two part gay storyline? My sister sent me a link to Chris Kluwe saying they got it right: [link]

Necessary roughness?

I saw the first part, but not the second one yet.

The second half is on tonight.

I really like Peter McNichol's role as a Dani's therapist. He's pretty realistic.

I have no idea what put "Acceptable" in the place "Necessary" is supposed to be.

It's not Southland without Sherman going on a long-distance run after a perp.

I liked the Necessary Roughness, and it will be interesting to see what happens going forward.

Yeah, me too.

I'm trying to work out which shows had characters who came out during the season, and I don't mean "Mum! Billy whose name we never mentioned before today just got married" either those are just masturbatory back pats.

I think that, at least for this season, Rexy is going to be the other

The other what?

I do think most people, when confronted with a surprising coming-out, would roll with it fine, even if it took them a minute, so that felt realistic. But he should definitely stay off the internet. I also enjoyed TK calling their date "T-Rex."
