Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Another question about TFofC: Mel - in the last ep, she's revealed to be the junior psych professor at the (I think) unnamed university and Roger the fired senior professor, so they are a couple, not father and daughter, right? end

I always thought Mel & Roger were made out to be a couple.

She has the kind of face that makes it very hard to tell age. I wasn't sure at first, I thought she was a teen (pink sweatshirts) and he was her father. Perhaps that's one reason why they added the last scene, to clarify that, besides that it's hecka funny that that is the profession.

They are a couple - she was his grad assistant.

No mention of Burn Notice? Finally saw it last night and loved it. Some blogger last year talked about the "take-away" aspect of the show, i.e. the stuff you walk away with that you didn't know before. Now I know how to drive through the woods in a cadillac without setting off the airbag sensors and how to drill through a floor and anchor it so it doesn't fall into the room I'm breaking into.

This show is so much fun.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

They've been running commercials highlighting exactly that aspect of th show recently.

It's a good show. I enjoy it, plus I'm learning a lot. I also liked that they finally stopped pushing him together with is exgirlfriend. She's a great character, and I felt that it detracted from her to be pining after him all of the time. Sharon Gless continues to be magic.

It's true - I'm glad that she's realized that whatever it is - it wasn't working. . . exactly.

I never liked the pining either, but they needed a reason for Fi to stick around and keep working for him. Friendship goes so far, and for Sam it's still a paying gig. What's Fi's interest now?

Sharon Gless continues to be magic.

I couldn't agree more. She's my favorite character, followed by Sam, Fi, and Michael in that order. And last episode with the coffee pot crisis, and after he finally explains that he was protecting her all those years by not calling her, she pauses for a beat and says "that still doesn't explain why you couldn't write." She's awesome. Almost making me totally forget that horrific role and storyline in N/T.
