"Did you just kill a guy with an appetizer?"
Cable Drama: Still Waiting for the Cable Guy to Show Up with the Thread Name...
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
I rewatched that episode recently too. It's one of my first season favorites.
"Did you just kill a guy with an appetizer?"
Maybe?
Ever since I was lost in Tropes, I've been waiting for Elliot to really be taken down. Like, really been gotten the best of, or at least taken down in a cheaterly fashion. Because it's true, even when he takes a hard beat-down, in the end he wins. And it's sad, but I'm jonesing terribly for a character-torture Elliot smack-down where the stakes are epic-ly high. And there isn't a single fic that cuts it for me.
"These peaches aren't going to poach themselves, Parker!"
My favorite Leverage line, bar none. I don't know why I love it so, but I do. Maybe it's just the dichotomy of the tough guy and the tender peaches.
Not exactly cable, but our local PBS station is running the original Life on Mars starting on April 1 at 10:40. Not sure if other stations are running it as well.
That reminds me that I have unwatched UK LoM DVDs. Duh.
WOuld this be the Breaking Bad thread? We watched the first two episodes last night. That show reminds me so much of the Sopranos when it first started - really messed up main characters, but you are still sort of hoping for them to succeed.
There were so many little things I liked about the story so far. So Jesse has embraced that he is the bad guy and Walt refuses to accept being the bad guy. So far, Jesse seems way more at ease with himself than Walt.
Yes, it should be. (I'm not watching it.)
This is indeed the Breaking Bad thread.
So Jesse has embraced that he is the bad guy and Walt refuses to accept being the bad guy.
Yeah, and, really, Walt has been a worse guy than Jesse. Jesse has seriously fucked up, but Walt has both done worse and admitted it to himself less. And, yet, I am still rooting for him to not get killed by the scary guys with skulls on their toes (DH pointed out that they are reminiscent of the Gentlemen with their silence and the wasy they will sometimes look at each other before they do something. Adds to the scary)
