It's good, for a wig. Bad, for hair.

Agreed. Rather impressed with it as a wig.

That's as bad as Ron Glass's hair in that one episode of Firefly. It could send small children screaming.

Also agreed.

Keep on walking, hacker man.

OMG. Why did no one warn me about the hair? Okay, fine, yes, I was warned.

<click. clicky click, click.>

OMG. Why did no one warn me about the hat? For reals, people! The hair cannot be contained by the hat.

Man, I love the Leverage blog [link] This was fun quote (among many) about the most recent episode (not tonight's):

We need them to be a little less the all-powerful super-team, or at the current rate of escalation the season ender would involve conning Galactus. ("The Slightly More Ultimate Nullifier Job.")

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Is that blog Kung Fu Monkey, or a different one?

Is anyone else watching HBO's In Treatment on DVD? OMG, it is SO addictive. So excellent. I haven't been this addicted to a show since Dexter or the Gilmore Girls. I mean, hurt my back from alertly watching for so long, unable to turn the tube off,, running around town to find the next DVD addicting.

I love the intimacy of it. Love the quiet camera that nonetheless gets different angles on the action of two people talking to each other, and that action can be really tense at times. Love the details, like the squeaking gate. Blair Underwood brings a whole new game to the show (IMO). I'm predisposed to dislike Melissa George's character ('cause of Alias; guess I'm shallow like that), but she acquits it well, actually. The interplay between Gabriel Byrne's Paul and Mia Wasikowska's Sophie, the teenage gymnast, is so heartrending, gripping in a positive view of therapy in action. Dianne Wiest is riveting. They all are. It's really good.

eta: didn't need to be said twice.

Well, Java Cat IS enthusiastic, isn't she. But HBO would be Premium Cable, FYI.

“Not dead yet!”

Anyone watching the Mad Men S2 DVDs? I'm loving the extras.

Have the DVDs but saw it in real time, so haven't seen the extras.

ION: Whee - loving having Leverage on my screen. I'm pretty sure they made up the name of the city this time, as I didn't recognize the name, and I know most of the major and minor cities in Mass that would have buildings like that.
