Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So I'm watching Lie To Me, and they've cast this guy. Am I ever supposed to believe a word he says? And he's a spouse of a lead? Bodes ill. But maybe I read that wrong.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

He's not the spouse of the main woman, if that's what you're asking. Her husband is Tim Guinee.

Okay, cool. That at least leaves his status as a bit more vague. Even though they've so far painted him as bad, I always want Guinee to be a good guy.

Speaking of guys who are always bad...C. Thomas Howell in Criminal Minds...

I figured, I dismissed, and then, blammo!

I wasn't sure if it was him. I met him once when I was a kid, when he was famous :)

I do want to know how the police didn't figure out that the wounds were self inflicted.

Heh. It seems to be him, with the skank, every time these days.

Life: Gabrielle Union is a good interim partner. Best I've liked her. Question--where did that bullet Crews is asking about come from? They space out the arc bits too much for me.

eta:

While I'm here, did anyone find Jane noxious this past Mentalist? I thought both now and the flashbacks portrayed him very unforgivingly. I didn't like the ep, for the sum of it.

The bullet was the same the Bodner shot Charlie with, which Charlie recast and shot Bodner with, and then told him to not throw the bullet out.

The Mentalist was horrible, and I can't figure out if Simon Baker really is that bad, or if he decided the show sucks and is phoning it in. "I'm blind! I'm blind!" Seriously, I thought I saw a phone cradled between his shoulder and cheek.

That guy was the one thing I didn't like about the dearly departed Jake in Progress.

I was annoyed by the way that they keep trying to make Jane not out to have been a bad guy. Well, yes, he was a fake psychic, but he just told her the truth! The "villian" was an idiot. He wasn't even mad that Jane was a fake, he was mad that his mother left his father and his perfect life changed. RIDICULOUS. So, he's going to go through this whole elaborate charade of dating Grace to get into the parking lot. DUDE! Be a delivery guy!

I know!!!!

I was like: get mad at your mother I suppose. Get madder at your father! It would be different if his father weren't cheating, but he was!
