Yes, wrod. Sheila sets her own house on fire,blames Tommy so much he almost gets sent up the river and *she* can't trust *him*...fuck you, Sheila. I also think there's a little meta, there, actually, although that seems not much of a "Rescue Me,"type thought, about narratives and memories and how often things don't happen like we think they do. They did that before, with Mickey and the home movies.
Cable Drama: Still Waiting for the Cable Guy to Show Up with the Thread Name...
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
I like that. it makes me think that Tommy's assertion that whatever else you say about him, you can't say he isn't there for his kids might not be as rock solid as he thinks. Because what was he more sure of than that Jimmy died in the first tower, right?
I believe that he really *wants* to be, and that his love is undeniable but being there for someone involves showing up, and Tommy's had trouble showing up in the past. Except at burning buildings, which is where I would say his true "Whatever else you might say..." moment lies.
Absolutely.
Hey, look, I care about Tommy and his inner life, again. Neat.
Yeah, I know, awesome reverse-shark-jump, huh?
Drew Powell visits the Leverage writers. He was the "target" in The 12 Step Job.
Those were great! I can't wait for new Leverage.
But what you're doing, JC, is ranking the Procedural thread over the Cable Drama thread, and that's subjective--I rank Boxed Set first, so supernatural procedurals fit very nicely there for me.
Very true. This is the first I've looked in here since April 17, but I always check Procedurals.
My Tivo has never heard of Leverage and I keep asking it to find it. It must be premium cable? Off to find out.
eta: It's TNT, which I thought was a normal cable station. Must investigate my cable lineup.
