I'm just starting the finale of Broadchurch. I'm already a sobbing mess again starting with Nige being given the article on his biological mother (that was fucking mean of Alec).

I love that as we discover people's secrets, you get them. You get why they did what they did, you get why they were silent or squirrely about information. There's no mustache-twirling or contrived machinations (that I've spotted). Just a lot of "now that I know the facts, I can see why you did what you did".

Halfway through. Need some air (if watching live, were commercial breaks adequate for reaquainting oneself with composure?).

I'll admit that I got to suspecting the son, and thought it couldn't be more awful than that. Or maybe that would have been more awful, but as a kid there might have been an element of naivete that would have eased some of the evilness...

She likes Montalbano a lot

Montalbano rocks. And the Swedish one set in the 17th century is good, too. Though it's Swedish, and therefore grim. Their taste in crime drama is intriguing.

MHZ is where we get most of our news.

The whole sequence with the old man was the worst part for me

I was watching and thinking "This man's life has been destroyed. And he's an old man, too old to leave and start over. His life is destroyed in this town, what can he do now?" And then the follow-up to that question, god.

To think that I only suspected the true killer once, and it was due to a bit of 24-esque "Is he acting shifty or are the directors of the episode telling the actor to be weird for the sake of red herrings", I'll have to rewatch that scene, it was so on the nose.

I figured the interview with the kid was a tangential way of flushing out the dad, so that's when I decided on him.

Anyone else out there watching Bones tonight? They've assured Sweets at least 20 times that no one blames him for what happened with him and Pelant, and I have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. That's what happens when you only watch every 4th or 5th episode, I guess.

Bones - still the worst show airing at 8 pm (or 9 pm DVR watch) to have dinner while watching. Yuck.

The Castle people need to get the people from Chuck to do their dramatic two-parters.

Not sure I get that. No, in fact, I really don't get that.

The Mentalist did a good two-parter episode break.
