Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.

So, on last night's Elementary at 47:12 you can see me in the distance outside Gregson's office in an army shirt. I'm staring out the window looking pissed off 'cause I didn't do nothin.
Cool!
Man, I am several episodes behind. At this point I'm just going to have to catch up over the summer.
Trudy, you seem to always get the episodes that are directed by Lucy Liu.
I do, don't I?
I'm lucky then, she's great. She's very quick, focused, calm, pleasant.
She also looks amazingly young without a stitch of makeup or any fashion to speak of.
It's like a TV version of Where's Waldo - There's Trudy!
I loved the bit with the Jersey mobster:
J. m.: "Milo committed suicide."
Watson: "He was stabbed sixteen times."
J. m.: "Hardest he ever worked in his life."
The Trudyverse is kind of like the Tommy Westphall universe -- it's all connected.
Trudy is this neo-nazi who was protesting on Homeland, and then got arrested on Elementary, and then gets sent to jail on OITNB.
That's. Amazing.
Has anyone else seen The Doctor Blake Mysteries? it's been turning up on the local PBS station - set in Australia in the early '50s (I think). Lucien Blake is a doctor who's gone back to Ballarat to take over his father's practice and serve as the medical - consultant? - to the local police. He's kind of mournful - he and his wife and infant daughter were in Singapore when the Japanese invaded and were all taken prisoner and sent to different prison camps. He's been trying to find them (they do turn up later in the series, I think).
