My retcon is that she didn't really learn how to do this stuff in a Wiccan community - she kind of made it up herself.
I'm no Sherlock Holmes - I did not notice the scarves.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

I just watched this week's SVU. They somehow managed to get in just about every stereotype about gifted kids -- pressured by parents, can't fit into the "real" world, overly competitive, antisocial, even one kid with thick glasses and weird vocal patterns -- and then added in some stuff about the dangers of ADD drugs, too.

Oh, I saw that one, and felt like "Hey! That's my hey." But then SVU is totally stereotype=a-rific. In addition to David Simon making me That Person who's all "You know, they usually don't find the weapon, right?" and making people shush me, Dick Wolf shows aren't fun like they used to be.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The butcher of Kiev is a character actor I first loved on Highlander.
The guy Elliot fought in the kitchen was the stuntmaster on several episodes of Highlander, and was Mac's opponent in the maze duel in "Duende".
The younger brother, Brad, on The Mentalist, played Michael, "Two queens. Right," in the Something Wicked ep of S1 Supernatural, and his dad was the same actor who played the suburban pipe-smoking, fruitcake-stomping, pliers-wielding pagan god (oh the irony) in the Very Supernatural Christmas episode.
Actor bingo--it's not just Canadian.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
You know what show I really liked this week? "Law & Order" Did anyone here watch it? I thought it was well done, suspenseful and well-acted.
I highly recommend the ep if anyone gets a chance to see it on rerun.

On that SVU, also, in that one scene with the kid doing math stuff on the blackboard, I think the set people just picked a few random pages from several different math books and copied stuff onto the board. Most of the diagrams were from topological graph theory (which does have very pretty pictures), but there was also one from knot theory, and a lot of the writing looked like differential equations, and there were a few other topics, too, and there's really absolutely nothing that links those topics together.

Most of us writers, not so much about the math.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I agree, le nubian. One of the best of the last few seasons, I thought.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What was the crime again?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
well, the show involved at least one murder, a class action lawsuit around a plane crash.
