yes, but I have learned to have low standards :)

Watching the Gil Mayo Mysteries on BBCA got me interested in reading the originals. Oddly, the originals are almost completely unlike the tv version. The feeling of the books is unlike the show, the characters are mostly different (even if they have the same names) and the mysteries themselves - although they are "based" on the novels are changed quite a bit too.

It's just. . . odd.

Oh, and they're repeating Burn Notice this afternoon. Which is excellent for people like me who, for some reason, cannot stay awake at 9 pm on a Thursday.

Army Wives: Ha! I knew that there was going to be trouble when the Col. found out about what's his name and his daughter.

The Closer was really on tonight. The first act? Absolutely priceless.

I love this show. I am kind of disappointed that we aren't seeing any fallout from the thing with Sgt. Gabriel but then, I guess that we didn't see any real interaction.

Oh, I thought that the lack of interaction is the fall out. Did you see the impersonal way that he sat down beside her in the interrogation room ?

Perhaps I'm reading in.

I wasn't really into the case, but I liked Provenza scoring the food and everyone eating it in the observation room. Brenda keeping her arms crossed over her chest after talking to the doctor was a nice touch as well.

Also what exactly is Saving Grace about? I get that she's a cop, gets drunk, kills a guy, and an angel shows up. But then what? Does the angel help her solve cases? The promos are kind of vague and TNT's website only details the pilot and after that it's a blank.

Yeah, I don't get what it's about either. Except that it's got Holly Hunter.

I'll give it a shot. somehow, i think that she hits a guy while drunk, who isn't quite dead, decides to kill him, then sees the light or something, and then is all saved and whatnot?

Okay, I found some more information. She hits the guy, calls out to God who sends an angel and they make Holly Hunter a deal - the accident will be taken away if she changes her embittered ways. She agrees, the accident never happened, and the angel sticks around to make sure that she actually does change her ways and the "unique series" is about her struggle for redemption.

Also her sister died in the Oklahoma City bombing, and besides drinking too much she's having an affair with her married partner.
