if it is as good as Silk Stalkings (ha!) I am in.

Cable Drama: Still Waiting for the Cable Guy to Show Up with the Thread Name...
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
One line from that review,
But USA’s greatest gift is for casting.
really struck me. It's so true - even when the dialogue is crap or the stories are outlandish, I stick around for how much I like the people. On the shows that I've given up (Suits) or never watched (that U.S. Marshalls thing that I'm blanking on the name of), I still have a lot of fondness for the characters. Quite a gift, really.
Silk Stalkings, where South Florida had cliffs.
In Plain Sight.
I really liked the guy who played Marshall.
The Killing: Jewel Staite with the Serenity line was pretty funny. I don't think I understand their relationship if he keeps his toothbrush at her place but she hasn't seen his tattoos.
I did not get the dramatic visuals. The dying cow and all the skeletons, the stand of trees that didn't look particularly like the drawing but somehow led her to what I guess is a stash of bodies, they just made me say "what am I looking at?" more than anything else.
What was the Serenity line?
"Serenity: sounds like a stripper's name"
Something like that.
Mad Men: What is up with Bob Benson? There's no way he's really in love with Pete. It doesn't feel right. Apparently, there's all sorts of theories floating about, like he's a government spy. As the link points out, he is a skilled liar.
I don't know, but I am interested. Manolo said he's "a great salesman" which makes me wonder what their backstory might be.
The motivational record was highly intriguing.
Jon,
Tom and Lorenzo made a persuasive case about 2-3 weeks ago that given his body language, the secret they thought Bob was hiding was that he was gay. They were THRILLED that last episode seemed to confirm that yes, Bob is gay. I think the on screen evidence seems to be there from my stance. Bob would have to be in the closest back then, and TLo believe that Bob (unlike Sal) is culturally gay - that he seems to have a community he hangs with (i.e. he knows Sal after all) and was probably bringing Joan to Fire Island when they were together last summer.
I think TLo was tipped off when he was at the prostitution house and Bob's body language was pulled in and tight. He showed no sexual interest in the women there, nor has really expressed overt sexual interest in Joan.
