Yes.

And it is v. nice to see her playing somebody not so emotionally strung out.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Harvey is the attorney, Lewis is the other attorney that took the kid to play tennis, etc. I don't know the name of the kid who didn't go to law school. I thought his superpower was memory, too, and I guess he did sort of use it in chatting with Fantasy Football guy. Maybe that wasn't really my problem with the episode. I definitely had a problem with it, though I can't put my finger on exactly what it was.

They're doing a riff on an eidetic memory, which is that he remembers everything he reads or sees. So, he knows the law, he just doesn't know how to interpret/apply it.

I decided to give Necessary Roughness a shot because 1) I found out Marc Blucas was in it and 2) it got good ratings (I'm tired of watching a pilot then finding out it did horrible and will most likely be cancelled).

Why the heck did they call it Necessary Roughness? The show didn't even register with me because I thought it was related to the movie with the same title.

Eggs! Max Medina!

I liked it and set up a season pass for it.

Because books.

The show didn't even register with me because I thought it was related to the movie with the same title.

Wait, it's not?

Although that is a football term, I think, and not just associated with the movie. But I thought the same thing.

Compassionately intolerant

I liked N.R. too. Of course, my teeth were a bit clenched based on years of truly appalling representations of therapy in the media. (Sweets, I love you, man)

I enjoyed it and found Mark Blucas attractive in a way I never have. I also like the lead a lot...memfaulting her name...based on her performances in Rescue Me.

I'll watch.

Always Anti-fascist!

Callie Thorne. I never really thought of her as someone who could carry a project. I guess it would be good to be wrong.

OMG. I'm waiting for Leverage to start, and TNT is showing Return of the King, and the Grey Havens scene is breaking me all over again. Stupid allergies.

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

The end of LOTR: Return of the King always makes me cry. Haven't I seen it enough times for this reaction to wear off? Answer, obviously: no.

And now, Leverage geekgasm: Timothy Hutton playing Nate Ford dressed as Ellery Queen who was played by Jim Hutton! And Sophie dressed as Irene Adler! ADORE

Right! Too bad they couldn't work in a Nero Wolfe (or, you know, Archie) reference.
