You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Cool! Given the way CBS has been treating it schedule-wise, I was sure it was a goner.

I've been watching Instinct, which is reminding me a lot of Castle, if Rick Castle was a gay ex-CIA agent.

Not sure if it belongs here, or in the Marvel thread: Benedict Cumberbatch Saves Bicyclist From Gang Attack.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Also like Instinct.I was ho;ing Take Two would fill the Castle shaped hole. But actress who plays the er actress is so wooden, she makes the women who played Bo on Lost Girl seem like Helen Mirren by comparison. I'm not even talking about delivering emotionally charged lines. When she says "Good Morning" or "Hi" you can tell she is reading a line. She cannot say a scripted word and make it sound like normal conversation. Or maybe she could in a different context. Sometimes a director insists on an acting style that is too far from what works for the actor and manages to extract a bad performance out of someone with actual talent.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've been - off and on - watching "Maigret" on PBS ... once I got over the adjustment of seeing Rowan Atkinson in a serious role (seriously? BLACKADDER?), I've been enjoying it.

I've been meaning to watch that Maigret. He can be interestingly intense. It's on Netflix or BritBox or Acorn, one of my sources of Brit tv.

I recently watched Maigret and was sorta stunned by Atkinson. It is a very reserved performance, so much so that I found him kind of dull, which isn't what I was expecting at all. All the energy comes from everyone else, and just swirls around him. OTOH, Madame Maigret is awesome.

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

Woo to the hoo!

As I said elsewhere, I didn't know I wanted this but now I'm excited to have it coming my way!

I'm only there if Logan was lost at sea in the interim.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Ha! I am also not a big fan of Logan, but I'm willing to put up with him if it means more of the rest of the characters that I love (which is basically every other character) (assuming they don't bring Duncan back).
