I'm not getting the Jeri hatred. I don't have a strong opinion of her one way or the other, but I think she's been fine in this (the offensive giggle went right past me, whatever that was).

I certainly have never blamed her acting for any problems with 7 of 9 since my biggest problem with Voyager was the creators decision to set up a show with a lot of conflict and then get rid of it as abso-fucking-lutely fast as possible. I assume to be as un-DS9-like as possible, which just pissed me off more.

I didn't watch Voyager, so I don't have any preconceptions of her. I just don't like her giggle. It annoys me; she uses it too often, it's too girlish for her age and character, and I don't like it. That's all, pretty much.

There I was hoping that Elliot would be the model.

I have accepted the Jeri hatred. I'm okay with it. I of course, hope that she dies. I know that she won't, but I can always hope.

And I swear that the bearded guy next to Parker was the Neutraface guy.

Aw, here I was hoping/expecting Sophie to be shutting off the webcam because she was in the next room and about to walk in.

I don't get her. I don't get the idea that she's hot, I don't get the charisma.

But I did have a twinge when she headbutted the guy. When she said Eliot liked her a little, I liked her a little. But it's not a lot.

I did catch the 5-0 reference, but the rest of the scam was a mystery to me.

I got major OT3 vibes off of Eliot and Parker when he was telling her about his exploits. If only Hardison could have been part of that exchange.

Next week, shirtless Hardison?

And upcoming Kari Matchett? Yay! Dying son flashbacks? Nay!

I was too, Juliebird, for a moment, but alas, I knew she wouldn't.

Eliot in guyliner: funny. Eliot mad at being teased for guyliner: even funnier.

I actually didn't mind Jeri/Tara this time. I love her "outsider perspective" comments. Her last comment, though, which I believe was "Nobody's as good as you think you are," sounds disturbingly portentious.

Speaking of disturbing: Criminal Minds. That hit several of my creep-out buttons.

But I did have a twinge when she headbutted the guy. When she said Eliot liked her a little, I liked her a little. But it's not a lot.

I liked her a little, but I also felt like the show was trying pretty hard to make me like her, so I was somewhat put off. I have no feelings on Jeri Ryan, however, and I enjoyed her constant bemusement at Nate's methods. "Does he always do that? Just say something and walk away?" Tara is not Sophie, but she's not supposed to be, and as of now, I think she's okay.

I did catch the 5-0 reference, but the rest of the scam was a mystery to me.

Same here. I thought she was telling Nate to go to the cops.

Dying son flashbacks? Nay!

Ooh, more YEEEEEEAAAAARRRRGGHHHHH! I can't wait!

I loved Parker trying to figure out the reindeer games.

PSA: Those who think Christian Kane is hot should take a look at his revamped website.

Also, Beth Riesgraf took most of the pictures thereon.

dammit, I can't get the link to work. no, it works now.

The dueling accents were as painful as usual.
