Jayne ,'The Train Job'
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
I got weary of the raised eye-brows from other characters when they found out she was living with him. Do we always have to go there?
Well, slightly weird guy living in a huge house with no furniture and a teenaged girl who was part of the family that he was accused of killing? Yeah, I'd raise an eyebrow.
I really loved Ted in this episode; I love that he was saved by Charlie, again, and that he's not going to get beaten down by prison this time. I hope and mostly think he's going to get back out. I loved seeing that Charlie affected other people in prison, not just Ted.
I find the repetition of lines to be really grating if done more than once in an episode, to be honest. It feels like something they should scale back on, resist being so anvilly with it.
The biggest shame for me about Rachel was that, when she was there, she *did* have a distinct voice and personality; but she was only there for like twenty seconds of every episode. The progression of her relationship with Charlie is evident in the way that she goes from hiding in one part of the house to going out and defying him to going with his dad to the hospital and showing the defensive concern for him; I just wish we'd actually seen that progression instead of just having it be alluded to in the background.
That being said, I liked the mystery this week, I enjoyed having Roman's creepy ass back on my screen, and I was genuinely shocked by Charlie being shot.
But I hate that Danni wore fucking heels to the crime scene and climbed down a ladder in them. Can she not just wear motorcycle boots again? Please?

Leverage, where have you been all my life?!
Apologies if this is the wrong thread, I'm catching up and need to burble and am not sure if and where any conversation is taking place on b.org. I can't remember the last time there was such a delicious balance of smart, funny and feel-good, as well as a well-rounded instantly likeable cast of characters.
Julie, we're squeeing about Leverage in Cable Drama (and also a little bit in Natter).
weee! (thanks, brenda)
Krav maga in the Psych Christmas episode!
I just saw that one last night. I think they got the schwag wrong, though (at least, I've never seen a bracelet like that) IDing the logo would have been impressive enough.
Just saw the last ep of Life. I think, given Charlie's history with women since he got out, raised eyebrows are not out of the realm of...a reasonable response.
Apart from getting rid of Rachel (which can be un-done), I, too, like getting back into the web of connections. I'm doubting that Ted will stay in jail for terribly long (just long enough for whatever needs to happen with Charlie happens while he's living alone). I can definitely deal with exploring the relationship with Charlie's dad rather than his ex.
