Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Did you see Michael being the bestest little spy ever thanks to abuse from his father?

I wanted to stand up and yell "THIS IS NOT JOHN WINCHESTER. IF IT HAD BEEN, WE'D HAVE BEEN TOLD. THIS IS WHAT THE THING YOU'RE WRITING HIM AS LOOKS LIKE."

Don't know how often it translates into immunity from head games and shitloads of drugs, but enh.

I absolutely made the John Winchester comparison in my head!

::rationalist high five::

So many fics write Papa Winchester like Papa Westin, and the canon is markedly different. Just sayin'.

Not javachik

I've read a lot about Orphan Black lately, mostly people hoping Tatiana Maslany would get an Emmy nod for acting (she did not), and was pleased to discover the show listed in the normal Comcast On Demand list. I'm not sure where it airs; is it a cable show, and belongs here? I'm three eps in, and enjoying it more than Dexter or True Blood - the fun of something new, I suppose.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It's been discussed in Boxed Set.

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

Grabbed an ep of King & Maxwell because Kane is on it. As is Dichen Lachman, it seems, in a more regular role. I often forget that CK isn't part of the Jossian cohort like many of the co-stars.

Yeah, me too. I was vaguely intrigued by the commercials, but it's just a generic detective show. It's not interesting or different or unique in any way. They're two former government agents that set up a detective agency. She has daddy issues, not sure what his issue is yet, but YAWN.

The ads for that were not appealing to me.

Tonight's The Killing was a good one. Brutal, but good.

I watched an earlier episode--I didn't remember Dichen, or the seedy Val Kilmer clone autism spectrum techie (good lord, that trope) from it, and it was nothing special. I like Jon Tenney quite a bit and don't mind Romijn, but there wasn't any there there.

I'd say it was a better show than Rizzoli & Isles, but less memorable, so...

Dichen wasn't bad, and I never much cared for her in Dollhouse. CK was fun. But he's gone, and she's not enough. I'm not that in need of another show.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

It aired on BBCA but, as P-C noted, it was discussed in Boxed Set due to the Mad Science.

I love Louis Litt. I'm not caught up this week yet, but I'm so glad that the episode started out with Harvey making overtures of "he was always mine, though". Also, Louis has a portrait of himself grinning on his own desk.
