I wonder if a system could be made to white board my design process.
I just missed the Life teaser. Did I miss anything important?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Just holy-shit-awesomeness.
Roman kills the interviewer, takes the video camera and wander the halls of his lair, showcasing men with guns and dogs and women giggling and men drinking and playing cards, then revealing Dani bound to a chair with a hood over her head. She spits at the camera and looks gorgeous doing so. He changes the tape and tells her to talk. She says "Crews" and the scene goes to static and titles.

the thought of breaking things down into arcs and turning points and beats makes me twitch.
I'm not sure if structure is what made TV writing my thing or if learning to write TV molded my brain around structure. Since I can't remember, it will probably always be a chicken or egg type question.

Life is making me twitch (in a good way).
My hands were shaking as I hit the remote to see if there was any time left.
eep!

Rand Ravich was right, if Life doesn't come back, I'm hella satisfied with how it ended. The last two minutes I had a giant cat-ate-the-canary grin on my face.
How much do I adore how Charlie took Roman out? The elegant simplicity of it. The badassery. So Zen, so Charlie Crews.

I need to take those words back and apply them to the end of the show, or find better, greater-than holy-shit-awesome adjectives.

Thrive to spite them
Anyone watch The Unusuals tonight? ABC's new crime drama with Amber Tamblyn?

I've got it Tivoed. I'll probably watch it tomorrow-- I have such a weak spot for Jeremy Renner.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I did. You know, it was a heckuva lot better than I was expecting. BTW, I thought this show was a show about police officers who have super powers. So I was disappointed that this wasn't the case. I'm not sure why I thought they had superpowers. Maybe it was wishful thinking on my part?
Anyway, I thought it was a pretty decent cop show. It isn't perfect, but I was definitely entertained. I liked the quirkiness of the cops and that they weren't TOO quirky. I'm glad depressed cop dialed it down by the end.
I'm a sucker for a mystery, too - and they got me there. I hope they resolve these mysteries soon enough.
