No kidding!
Also: that p/f thing doesn't make sense. Don't most universities require actual grades?
Particularly for business degrees?
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

So thanks to tiggy, I'm 20 minutes into the first ep of the British Life on Mars.
... should I just delete the Season Pass for the American version on my Tivo now, then?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Probably.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
so the p/f thing made no fucking sense. I think they just wanted a visual joke.
In reality it is this: p/f grades at my institution for grad classes don't count toward GPA in any meaningful way. So if students want to pad the gpa, they can take a p/f class or 2. His would be an elective anyway, so maybe the students felt the class wasn't worth it as an elective if it wasn't p/f.
Also (hating to bring reality into it): is he getting paid for this? We don't pay adjunct instructors unless they have minimum enrollment in the class. Based on that class enrollment, his course would be canceled.

Also?
No self-respecting gpa padder would walk into that class NOT knowing the grading status.
Who plans their semester like that?
And, Tidwell not reading his team members' files seems like another laps in logic. He's skeevy, but not necessarily stupid, right? Okay, maybe not.
Charlie and X in the storage space...hott. And I love that he is the kind of guy who has a 'drunken' clown and his wife was the kind of woman who was okay with that.

At my university the student can take a course pass/fail and I don't know that the professor necessarily knows it.
Grad courses have a pretty small minimum number.
Fun to see Inara and McHottie on Numb3rs. (Hec would have liked her ultra short hair in this.)
The guy who was investigating the Epps brothers looked very familiar - did anyone recognize who he was?

Keith Carradine. Looking old but still bringing the creepy.

McHottie was, well...McHott but Marena didn't do that great a job. No subtlety at all. Then again, maybe the writers just wanted to prove, yet again, that Colby is dim.

Ah - I now recall that he was in the credits but then I forgot.

Wow. I know I'm usually a big fan of British tv, but man the American LoM pilot disappointed me.
