Has anyone talked about Breakout Kings here? I just mainlined the whole season and loved it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I kinda liked it. It because more complicated towards the end, after they dropped the initial bombshell that the Italian guy didn't have a badge. Still not sure what's up with the chick in the office. Is she just generally shamed and unbadged too?
I don't really like any of the characters enough to like the show.
Yay! I'm getting closer arranging my visit to the Leverage studios. See where they do the magic stuff.

She is unbadged because she washed out of the academy for emotional reasons.

Trust my rage
It seems wholly unrealistic to me, in a way that White Collar doesn't. Or I should say, the prison stuff reads way more realistic to me than WC but the situation (all these people who have no legal authority running around catching people) seems unrealistic.
Despite all that, I enjoyed watching it a lot. I like that trust has been so hard to come by on the show. That seems real to me. It hit me though that 1 month off a 25 year sentence is nothing. You could maybe get more taking classes or something. (here in Colorado, classes can get you something like 10 days off a month.). So their "this gets time off my sentence" thing seems like not a huge motivation. But a change of scenery with good food and doing something that matters, that would be a strong motivation I think. And I like that everyone did t automatically turn good the minute they got this gig.
I would like to see more of their lives in prison.

Awesome! Maybe you'll get something/one named after you on the show. Stranger things have happened.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
The Killing: We'll that was an interesting episode. I am surprised that they would do an episode that seems to have almost nothing to do with the murder so close to the end of the season, do I wonder if anything that happened is going to tie into the murder at all.

Anyone else find the way her partner speaks to be...off-putting. Little too much faux-gangsta.

Oh, yeah, but I think it's meant to be. He's all not very well-crafted persona - I mean that's who the character is, not that the actor isn't doing a good job. I like him a lot better after this episode
I didn't mind it not furthering the investigation much, at least it wasn't more red herrings. I hope.
