Just watched that. (a) weird that the lottery ticket thing came up in Natter today and (b) that whole Matthew storyline seems unnecessary to me. The theology of the show is getting murky.

Yeah, the lottery ticket thing freaked me out a little. I think that it was nice to know that there are other angels out there, and that they don't always succeed.

That's true.

What y'all say about Cam. I really like her now. It'll be interesting to see what they may now that she has adopted a child (or is on the way to adopt).
This was very grumpy-making last night: my Tivo deleted all the new Closer eps for no apparent reason. Grr. I want to see the Kitty one.

Sounds like you bought a Tino by accident.

How is it that Life is dead but The Mentalist lives on?
The story is about a former Unusuals cast member joining the show. I liked the Unusuals much more than the Mentalist. Sigh.

The Mentalist has grown on me. (Also, Direct TV runs Smith right after Mentalist so it's kind of fun to watch Simon Baker go from his Mentalist character to [smoking hot] psycho hit man in quick succession.

I like the Jane, Cho and Rigsby characters but the writing...it just grated on me after awhile. Which says something about how winsome actors and characters can only go so far to carry a show.
Now I'm off to think of shows that I watched solely for the actor/character. None leap immediately to mind. Though I will confess to giving certain shows/movies a lot of latitude on that count.

I liked The Mentalist more in the beginning than toward the end of the season. I actually thought we would have more stuff about how fucked up Jane is. Not so much in the whole season.
I'm not sure why I watched the full season and not sure if there is a good enough reason to start watching it in the Fall.

Always Anti-fascist!
Honestly, if I hadn't loved Hugh-Laurie-as-House so much I'd have given up on it before this. The premise started as intriguing, but has become a bit of a formula now.
