I know my parents had to go to a court hearing with their doctor and minister get permission for my dad to get a vasectomy back in the early '60s. They had to prove that the reason they were getting it was to save my mother's life and that they were of good character.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Maybe it's because I've got a disability, but I'm still not sure a neurologist might not be a better fit than a psych. And, yes, bleah, to not talking to her and then talking to her hubby. Sometimes fighting for social change can be so frustrating, because day to day you don't see your work, but it's obvious watching that, that we do make a difference. Even if we have not created a utopia or anything.

erika - I'm guessing that her husband hasn't actually seen her hands not working so is willing to believe it's all in her head.

Yeah, that's true. He's not home a lot, and these are short little 'sodes she's been having. And I know more about disabilities than he might.

On Damages, the blonde who is the secret witness against Frobisher? Apparently played by Jamie Bamber's younger sister.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
And did you guys think that Draper's wife's disorder was a panic attack? I thought it was going to be something like ms which had to have been really difficult to diagnose and pretty much untreatable at the time. (Or so I would guess.)
I still can't decide which it is supposed to be, but the scene at the end where the husband called the Psychiatrist really freaked me out.

Yeah, that was freaky. Women were so NOT their own people.

Gil Mayo Mysteries: I'm pretty sure that the guy who played Danny in MI-5 had a small part in tonight's episode. (David Oyelowo - he's married to Jessica Oyelowo who plays DS Alex Jones. I now understand why he agreed to do such a tiny part.)

Oh my gosh, Burn Notice! How delightful is this show? Really really delightful. And Fiona was Princess Margaret on The Tudors, which is a bit of a type change for her!
Psych: So cute! But I fingered the Other Psychic all along. And that last shot of LDP was just pure porn.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
SA, I totally agree! LDP is totally hot in that scene. I was chagrined that I didn't figure out Other Psychic until half-way through, but at least I got it before the reveal.
I couldn't stay up late enough to watch Burn Notice. I did watch the first 20 minutes, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Mostly I want the main actor to just be there and not actually speak. Something about him bugs. I didn't like him on Monk, either.
Speaking of Monk, anyone else find they're having a hard time paying attention to the show? I think I'm losing my desire to watch as I couldn't really tell you what the plot lines were for the last two episodes. Oh well.
