If I had acted like Katie, uh, Katherine on Rescue Me did this week, my parents would have united to put their feet up my spoiled little ass.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Leverage can be pre-ordered at Amazon. It's got a price and everything.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Even an episode with two extremely contrived situations (and I'm talking about the final two scenes, both of which called for Walt to be in just the right place at just the right time)
Oh, but they set up that last scene so nicely, with Walt propping up the baby with towels earlier while the s-i-l talked about Hammacher-Schlemmer, and then Jane propping up Jesse after she found out how much money Walt owed him. And she only flopped over because Walt shook Jesse, so I see it more as him causing it than being there at the right time.
The previous scene was pure indulgence, but they don't do that often enough for me to really ding them on that.
Poor Q.
I'm pretty afraid of the season finale.
Rescue Me: I was thinking the same thing re: Katie, erika, but when she was listing all the ways their homelife is fucked up, well, she's not wrong. of course, she's wrong in thinking that being all upper crusty will make anything better, but she'll have to figure that out on her own.

wrod, and she denied them and implied that their jobs weren't good enough...which would have gotten me the "Every job has dignity" speech.When I was a teenager, I said something sarcastic about my my mom's job, which she hated, but I guess I took it too far, and she felt clowned, cause she slapped me for it. And, wrod, "The rich are different," does not mean non-alcoholic and not fucked-up. I sometimes wish life could be that simple, myself, but alas. I've missed Breaking Bad a few times.

She was probably disappointed for not getting slapped down, whether she realized it or not. For her dad not to say "We're as good as these assholes" must be a shock, right?

Re: Breaking Bad
Yeah, a bit contrived but still, the whole set up was well done. Every time I get up from watching one of those episodes, I tell myself how important it is to keep my kids away from drugs. Just, so messed up.

Okay, the Breaking Bad finale disappointed me. It felt like a giant set up for next season with very little of moving the story forward. And the plane crash teaser seemed vauguely connected and symbolic but not all that related. Last week was way better
