What drives me nuts about the commercials for Saving Grace is that they use the longest, most drawn out version possible of "Ama-a-a-a-a-a-a-zing Gra-a-a-a-a-a-a-ce" for the soundtrack. Sets my teeth on edge every time I hear it.

I loved this week's The Closer. sumi, I agree with your assessment. I like how they are carrying threads through this season, like the house hunting and the budget concerns. I'm wondering if that I am reading too much into it or if they were referencing Evelyn Waugh's The Loved One. They used that term and then there was the reference to all of the plastic surgery on the dead girl.

Mad Men! I've seen the pilot, and it's made of awesome -- sharp and funny and VK plays a great really hot smarmy little shit.
The period gender politics are a little on the nose, but pilots tend to hit that sort of thing harder than regular episodes, and for the most part it's very smartly done.

I like Holly Hunter. If the angel is like the ones in A Life Less Ordinary, that could be an intersting show.
Wouldn't it have been hilarious for them to actually cast Delroy Lindo for that role?

Re: The Closer
Okay, how much did we love that Brenda called Sgt Gabriel her favorite ? Clearly, she had to do what she did, and Capt. Taylor agreed with her, which goes to show you that Gabriel was clearly wrong. Technically, she could have just not pursued it, but if Capt Taylor found excessive force, that's pretty significant, though.

I feel like they're building to something (though maybe this was it) but in the last episode (?), Gabriel seemed very angry with Brenda investigating the community center priest and the former gang-banger turned politician. It'll be interesting to see what happens when he comes back from suspension. I'm also looking forward to more stuff with her and Taylor. They're awesome when they work together.
Also, KS was impressive in that final interrogation scene. How she went from sympathetic to disgusted back to sympathetic with a blink.

episode before last. It's interesting that these situations keep cropping up where she is on the law and order side, but he is in more of a grey area. I mean, we all wanted to beat that guy, and no one was sad about it, but that doesn't make it any less wrong.
