I could have liked Cruz, but she just wasn't there enough. Jones didn't get much screen time, but I still managed to get more of a sense of him. All they told me about Cruz was that she did not have a crush on Neal.

I wanted to like Cruz because of Dub Dub, but it's hard to when she's not there, and her introduction was gag-worthy. Even when she is, she's forgettable. And she was glaringly absent when the whole office showed up to help Peter in that one ep (where he couldn't figure out how to make the coffee). And her scheduling conflicts may have been the cause IRL, but then why the heck hire the actress? Aren't there clauses for that? Elizabeth still managed to be mostly present and awesome with RL prengancy.

Yeah, I could not bring myself to like Cruz. And as has been said elsewhere, it's not that they can't write women.

They're filming now.

I think episode 1 of Leverage season 3 is wrapping soon. Not soon enough. And I have no idea when Psych comes back.

And then there's Royal Pains. Eh.

eta: And In Plain Sight, if you like that.

Nate, so far, one episode is drinking and having a couple violent outbursts. Not much changes.

Eliot's hair is already a lot bigger by episode 2, but I will be keeping my eye out for where it gets the pouffe and the curl.

A Pictorial Timeline of Eliot's Hair would be awesome. I'd take it to the con and show it to Rogers and say, "Sir, I present to you the evidence that Eliot's hair has developed into a sentient being, and I fear it will attack him in the night!" and he'd say "You sound distraught, my dear! Come, let me introduce you to The Hair and Its Boy in person! You'll see, it comes in peace!" and then I would laugh and laugh and we'd all drink and watch the hair grow.

Someone said at TWoP that it's odd since she was awesome on a show chock-full of awesome

Heh, that was me. Whatever the problem was, it wasn't that Natalie Morales can't act or that the show's writers can't do great work for female characters in general. She was wonderful in almost every scene of The Middleman, and Elizabeth, June, and Diane have all been written for very well.

Home sick today, so of course I watched three episodes of White Collar. It has healing powers. It does!

I had to watch Vital Signs again, to see the "You're the only one I trust" scene. (And Neal singing, and Neal faceplanting, and El laughing at the idea of Peter flirting, and, "Carrier pigeons! Think about it.") Good stuff, which makes up for the weird, awkward plot.

Was it just me, or did House make even less sense last night than usual?
