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

Someone elsewhere suggested that Suits and Franklin & Bash were very similar, but one is more comedy.

Reading that, I am awash with doubt that Franklin & Bash could be funnier, but those terms don't have to be equivalent. And when you apply the Dudebro downgrade...

Anyone watching it? What does it have to recommend itself?

OK, the #don'tkillseanbean ads are hilarious, and Legends itself is pretty good so far. I'm getting a nice Philip K Dick vibe. But it makes me yearn for a vehicle like this for Enver.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I just realized that the wife on Rush -- not Rush's wife, his friend's wife, but (at least so far) her character is 100% The Wife -- is played by Jo Lupo from Eureka! What a bummer.

Anyone watching Rectify? my sister is raving insanely about it. I recorded the marathon, and am liking it well enough, but it's hardly the second coming of Breaking Bad, or anything.

I'm up to the part where the hairdresser welcomes him home.

I'm pretty sure that Rectify is the main reason that Javi wrote this.

Well, I don't get that from it. Maybe it earns it in season 2?

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

I have a friend who tells me to watch Rectify with every other breath. Er, online, so she's not actually breathing. I've heard good things from some TV critics as well.

Legends: well, I don't really care about the big mystery. I hope there is some kind of explanation why "they" didn't kill our hero when they drugged him at the hospital, but I doubt I will get that. I still like the cast, though, so I'm not quite ready to chuck it. But it's definitely a show to have on while I pay attention to something else.

Dear Kurt Sutter,

Maternal drug use has absolutely nothing to do with spina bifida.

No love,

Always Anti-fascist!

The saddest part is(although I'm still watching season 2) they were probably just sitting around the writer's room, kicking it little_details style going "I need something disabling, but not too hopeless.(seriously, fully half of little details inquiries are this and how to give someone a terminal disease that leaves them fuckable-looking until their tragic deathbed moment.I...don't like little details quite so much anymore.) And the new story editor was like "My cousin has spina bifida and she has a job and whatever." And it got late, and they had a Mayan beatdown to write anyway so they just said "spina bifida. Perfect."
