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

"What do you want?"
"I want a peacfeful soul."
"What do you need?"
"I need a bigger gun."

Way to up the ante, peoples.

I was v. amused during the commercials for Lie to Me that had different Fox shows playing April Fools jokes. I saw SCC, Dollhouse, and Bones. (BTW, the actor who plays John sounds VERY different in real life).

Also, the new girl in Lie to Me is starting to get on my nerves. Get some social skills!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Eep! The end with Life, discovering the scariest mofo Roman is lose, and finding Dani's cell and gun in the sand was hella creepy. Loved the Cat Power song playing over the final minutes of the ep, Charlie and Ted staring at all that remained of Dani on the kitchen counter... enjoyed all of that.

"I'm thinking about what I want and what I need" Love the way Charlie says how he wants a peaceful soul. "I need a bigger gun".

Next week there needs to pain. LOTS OF PAIN. And Charlie better be the one serving it up. If nothing else, I want Roman to go down. I don't want his stint as John Henry on SCC to prevent a reappearance here.

Art Crawl!!!

I thought that the Bones one was the Best.

Also, I can't believe that they had a babymill on Lie to Me. Was that "ripped from the headlines"?

Life: Yeah, LOTS of pain. For Roman. And I hope we get a Dani/Crews reunion but I can imagine a very horrible cliffhanger.

That made me laugh and laugh.

I was a little annoyed that they dropped the "why" part of the storyline. I also want to state for the record that the "depraved heart" charge is reeeeeaaaaalllly tenuous.

I missed the Bones one, but caught the Hell's Kitchen one with Gordon Ramsey. The look on his face!

I wonder if any of them are up on YouTube? I missed most of them, because I tune out during the commercials and didn't realize what was going on until very late.
