I thought Mad Men was a little much, but I can see that being Pilot Syndrome -- here are all these characters! Here's each one's defining characteristic! Here are the Big Themes!
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

VK looks so young! Younger than he did on Angel somehow.
It's the hair.

Though I'ma have to remember to play with the Tivo settings. This is the second week it's cut off the last minute or so, and it sounds like I"m not alone.
I really think The Closer runs a minute or two over the hour limit. I used to be able to fit two episodes on a VCR tape, but now I can only get one ep per cassette. (Yes, I know, but I am among the beknighted few who still do not have TIVO.)

Did anyone watch Kill Point? Had anyone heard of it? I saw it on the schedule and that it had Donnie Wahlberg and decided to watch. It's about bank robbers (ex US soldiers) home from Iraq who take hostages, it's on Spike.

I thought I had it scheduled but it didn't record. I rescheduled it for Wednesday.

One of the robbers looks like he was on the Wire, but he's not Bodie. But there's another actor who was the junkie on the Wire that hung out with Bubbles.

Okay, Donnie Wahlberg's hostage negotiator who is very picky about grammar and goes off on a few people for their bad grammar.

Is anyone watching The Closer? Because this is a really funny episode.

I didn't like The Closer last night, and I didn't like Saving Grace much either. I think I was in a bad mood or something.
I thought that the humor in The Closer was way over the top, and that the character of Brenda suddenly became an incompetent parody of herself.
I'm still digesting why I didn't like Saving Grace. Laura San Giacomo looks good in glasses, though.

The Closer toook a weird turn at the end, not the fight in the murder room, but with the doctor and Brenda and Fritz's and Brenda lying on her bed.
Is this supposed to mean she's got some serious health issue?
