That's true, Hil. I never thought of it though. And Cameron already Decided To Live In The Face Of Death with stupid sex once anyway...maybe Thirteen should have gone skydiving instead of, well, never mind. I was about to say something really inappropriate. Without the mad diagnostic skills to back it up.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

ETA: actually, should this be in Natter? I don't think this counts as a procedural, right?

brenda, it's being discussed in Cable Drama.

I just Googled Huntington's Disease(You could call it a work thing, as, on occasion, I write postings about depictions of disability in pop culture...I'm debating not writing this one, actually, House has tended to dominate.) But in any event, at least one source lists "hypersexuality" as a cognitive HD symptom. Super-convenient for writing Thirteen, but kind of puts an unpleasant spin on her bisexuality, doesn't it. Not that sleeping with some chick whose name she either didn't, or barely knew, a few weeks ago didn't already do that.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Didn't totally hate Life tonight, except... is it just me, or did Dani's boobs increase by two cup sizes again?

Art Crawl!!!

Bwah!

And next week: the Russians!

I've very worried about Ted.

Also, not understanding how that cop slipped the gun and coke onto the seat. Was the window open?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I didn't notice Dani's boobs, but man, that last scene left me with chills.

The cop didn't plant the gun and coke; they were planted before Ted started driving the car, and the cops were put on him to tail him, waiting for him to do something worth getting pulled over for. I'm worried about him too.

I really enjoy Arkin in this role--so many times he plays an arrogant guy, or a defensive guy, or a guy with a level of confidence in him that seems untouchable; and you can kind of see that in Ted, in the Ted that used to be. But it's so very much not Ted now, and I really appreciate that quality in his acting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, it's a switcheroo on last night's Law & Order -- I thought Heather Materazzo was the famous-guest-star-actual-killer, but no! Vivica Fox takes the crown. Apparently.

Art Crawl!!!

Yes.

Apparently.

Actually - I thought that was another weak episode. (Compared to last week's.)

c.s.i.: evil cliffhanger.

Was that it for 2008?

Yeah it was. No new ep until 15 January. I wasn't super sure that the whole connecting-recent-case-to-old-crime thing worked, and it felt a little more like watching an episode of Criminal Minds than an ep of CSI, but still.

(I really want Grissom to go to Lady Heather at the end of his run, but he'll probably go to Sara.)
