Why is it that the espionage inaccuracies in Covert Affairs bother me so much more than in something like Burn Notice?
There are espionage inaccuracies in Burn Notice? Well, that's just devastating. I've been taking notes and everything.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Dana linked to it in Natter, tiggy.
It is very awesome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
On Covert Affair I'm wondering mostly about the sight assist tech accuracy.

Psych co-executive producer Andy Berman: What would your best man speech for Gus be like?
James Roday: Kelly, Gus can't marry you, because he's already married to me. I still think we should stay here and drink all this alcohol and eat all this delicious food, but at the end of the night he's coming home with me.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Ooh, the sound you hear is D having a nerdgasm for a reason he knows not why yet.
And....full-on knowledge-based nerdgasm achieved. My husband made high-pitched dolphin noises of fanboy glee. It was really cute. He picked up the cat and did a little dance, and dear god, if he ever reads this, I am never getting laid EVER AGAIN.
(but it was so cute.)

However I had a total fangirl moment when they were all "Big Bad Michael Weston" this week with the power walk towards the Spetznatz agent. I don't even think JD is hot, but that was smoking.
I'm in total agreement. About the not being a fan fan and the omg hotness this ep. Is it wrong for a person who has a degree in Soviet Dissident Literature going wibbly over JD speaking Russian? If so, I can't ever be right.

I wonder why she never carries a gun.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
A terrorist organization like the IRA would never use a numbers station—law enforcement would be able to triangulate their position! And a numbers station would almost certainly use a one-time pad, and hence uncrackable. You can't tell from that short a sequence of number whether or not they're random, and an encrypted code would be indistinguishable from a random sequence—that's the whole point of encryption! And, and, and...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Tom, I know! I just closed my eyes and waited for the stupid to go away. "That's not a random sequence of numbers!" Buh? There were like 9 of them. You couldn't possibly know that!
Burn Notice has its fair share of eye-rolly moments, but Covert Affairs is ridiculous. Not that I'm stopping watching either one. If I wanted a documentary I'd be on the History Channel! ...wait, no.
