Yeah, she's pretty. But she's also the black Elisabeth Rohm. Like I see her and wonder whose niece and/or mistress she is that she gets the jobs and someone talented still has to serve up capucchino.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Also, it's not a good sign for the show that she is appearing. Like the human equivalent of a bad lumbar puncture. Not that I know what happened yesterday as I missed half of it.

Not javachik

I wondered if it was MM, too; guess it is.

The patient - wasn't that the actor from thirtysomething who played Billy? Yup, it was him: [link] Miles Dentrell/David Clennon was on Gray's Anatomy and he looked like hell. I wonder if it was all make up or if he really is that gaunt and sick looking. I thought I saw Polly Draper on something recently, too. Nope, not her. I loved that show and can't believe it's still not available on DVD.

Mirror syndrome was just about the best device ever to tell us about people's backstories without doing flashbacks. Really clever. They're being very mysterious about #13. I loved the Cuddy-House and House-Wilson domination-off.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The patient on last night's House was Frank Whaley, who played young Moonlight Graham in Field of Dreams. [link]

I loved the Cuddy-House and House-Wilson domination-off.

And House explaining away Wilson winning the dom-off by saying a doctor in charge of an operating room is always the most powerful person in the room. And Wilson not buying it.

Criminal Minds: Did anyone else find the BAU unit passing out candy at the end of the episode kind of creepy?

Art Crawl!!!

Yes.

I was really looking forward to having Joe Mantegna join the cast but this episode just wasn't that great.

Meanwhile, I really enjoyed Life. I liked that Charlie and Dani and Charlie's earlier partner were all working together at the end.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Life: I was thrown off at first, but I enjoyed the new tone and formula this week after all was said and done. And how glad am I that my theory that Roman was indeed a sower of lies and distrust and that his "tip" to Charlie about Stark proved false?! I so want Bobby to be a good cop (although his excitement about wanting to rough up the Cudahy contacts show that he's not above the law-- but then neither is Charlie with his doing it himself).

Dani clutching Charlie's arm at the end there was all kinds of awww.

Charlie's delivery of his commentary on Myspace/Facebook was hilarious.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

On Criminal Minds, passing out the candy at the end didn't bother me too much; the young guy made the point at the beginning that he really enjoyes Halloween. But I didn't think it was that great an episode, and I found myself really disliking Joe Mantegna's character. He was doing some really dumb things, not trying to integrate with the team, etc. And he obviously has his own agenda ... which I'm hoping will make things more interesting.
