I would have to rewatch, but I could definitely see his reaction to office antisemitism playing light.

I can specifically remember incidents of anti-Japanese racism in the office where I played it off, when I was standing right there (I was working for a Japanese company, but I didn't count as Japanese because I spoke English, and you know, was from Ohio.). And I wasn't even trying to pass as not Japanese. Your upbringing doesn't always train you for how to directly and politely address racism when you encounter it. Sometimes you just let it slide, because you are tired of kicking up a fuss. I could definitely see Don just letting it sit lightly, even if that were his position and background.

oh, yes. but it could have just been a reaction to the wrongness. though, I gotta say that he doesn't seem that enlightened. I think that it might be a red herring.

Best part of Psych last night? Gus and Shawn's slapfight during the reveal.

That was great.

I loved their "investigation" of local chefs.

And Shawn's horoscopes.

Well, darn, I forgot to set my TiVo to record Psych. Must do that.

Did anyone watch Saving Grace last night? You gotta love a show that starts out with a bondage scene.

I taped it. Alas, my second vcr has died. . . I must figure out what to do come the new fall season.

I watched Saving Grace, although I'm not sure for how much longer. I was underwhelmed again by the MOTW, and even though the Grace character is certainly unique and very well-acted, I'm not sure I find her all that interesting. (Big Spoiler) I think we were supposed to be shocked by her having sex with Henry at the end, while I just found it to be predictable.

I don't think we were necessarily supposed to be shocked, but I think it was being a little heavy-handed in trying to show Grace as having some form of compassion. Sure, most people probably woulnd't go straight to sex, but it's the only way Grace knows to handle emotional upheaval--drink a lot of booze and go have sex. I got enough of the "Grace can have warm, fuzzy feelings" from her talking to Henry and then phoning him to check up on him. Of course, it doesn't hurt that it helps her push her father's affair with her aunt to the back of her mind, so it's definitely got a selfish motivation. It just adds another level of complexity to the character. I must admit, it seems like all they do is develop character without a whole lot of payoff. I'm just bummed that there's only four more episodes to this season, I'm not sure they can resolve anything and that feels like a bit of a cheat. I don't want to have to wait for the second season to see Grace admit she's hit rock bottom, especially when I don't even know if there's going to be a second season, yet. I feel there's a whole lot of avenues to explore that can't be wrapped up in just four episodes. I wanna know about the house with the purple door, for one!

Sail, no kidding, with the bondage! then later - holy cow, that's one amazing body Holly Hunter has. She's the definition of lithe & petite I tell you what. I had the same take on it as you, that sex & booze is her default for all relations with men.

I'm squicked by the thought of how unclean her house must be, though. She's throwing a beverage across the room this and pouring something on someone/the carpet that. ::shudder:: I wouldn't want to walk around with bare feet, let alone lie down on the carpet, clothed or naked. I guess we're supposed to assume house elves clean the minute she leaves the house instead of it attracting ants and roaches and who knows what like whoa.

Hee. I'll go with the house elves. In cowboy boots and stetsons. It wouldn't surprise me if she had cleaners come in once a week. She just is not the type to do the cleaning herself.

I thought it was interesting that while her brother had a gazillion pictures and articles about the Murrow building posted in his basement, she had as many mirrors around her house. I'd never noticed that before, so I'm wondering if they just shot it to look like she did. I'll have to keep an eye out next week to see if she really does have all of what it looked like.
