I wonder if it comes from comedy training, because a good joke relies on double takes, and explaining it yanks most of the fun out of it.
Can I mop your brow? I am at the ready with the fearsome brow-mop.

Maybe...the comedy is why we love him when he says horrible things.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Are we supposed to not notice that Sarah Shahi is pregnant?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She was suddenly HUGE. I wonder what the break in filming was between last week and this. I guess they'll have her sit for the rest of the pregnancy.
Or have Tidwell's baby.
Heh.

I think that the FBI thingy is how they're dealing with the pregnancy.

Both Life and Criminal Minds had poisoning hookers last night. Except Life's wasn't really a hooker, and damn were those guys cheap in comparison to the Texan femme fatale.
Toxic sex for hire in the nine o'clock hour. Wonder what Lie To Me was about.

I missed a lot of Criminal Minds but what I saw ... I was disappointed. Struck me as going for the sleazy and exploitative without much in the way of content. Is it sweeps time again?

Lie to Me wasn't on, there was two hours of Idol.
Take that as you will.

I think Criminal Minds ended well. They don't often show the unsub as anything approaching sympathetically broken. I got a woman who started with a mission to kill men she thought were assholes and then broke.
I know her being a nubile blonde had something to do with why Hotch held her hand as she died, but it worked for me, despite her still being villainous.
