Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

I like In Plain Sight, and Marshal Marshall is a big part of why.

Which is funny, because he's a big part of why I didn't pick up the show in the first place. I'd seen him in something else - a soap I think? - where he annoyed the fuck out of me. And between the heavy-handed promos - she's so hard ass! he's so quirky! - I was just, no.

And now that I have started watching I love him to death. D'oh!

As for Leverage, I didn't realize it was about thieves and conmen! I ought to start watching it.

Yes, you really should.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

it throws me when other characters react to her as if she's the hottest thing walking, when to me she is terribly skinny and not pretty at all.

Well, men are stupid and they have somehow developed the idea that thin=pretty. I do have to admire her six pack, though.

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

Well, if men as a monolith do share the opinion then it's freaks like me that need to adjust their opinions.

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

I can understand that some guys like thin. I just don't think that means that ALL they like is thin. I find some thin does=pretty. David Tennant, for example--although I have loved and lusted after men of many shapes.

true. the implication in this show is that all men like thin women (even if they might like other kinds of women as well, thin is always pretty)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Shun me not! It's now next up in my Netflix queue.

“Not dead yet!”

Oh... POOR MARSHAL MARSHALL.

I just wanna smish his poor little broken-hearted self.
