I know I'm going to regret the loss of sleep in the morning, but I stayed up to watch Saving Grace tonight instead of watching it on tape delay tomorrow.
The abrupt endings this season are certainly...abrupt.
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I keep forgetting that people will discuss Saving Grace here and not just in Cable Drama. It has the weakest procedurals ever.
Poor Rhetta indeed! This show does love to torture people.

Owain Yeoman and Tim Kang looking dashing at an unspoileriffic location shot for The Mentalist. Owain looks especially nummy.

“Not dead yet!”
Owain looks especially nummy.
Mmm... yes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, ita, that reminds me -- about the Guardian. I don't really remember, but your whitefont in Natter sounds right to me.

Jesse, what a bleak show! Our heroes beat people up, get killed, have people killed in front of them, do drugs, have Down's Syndrome babies, get fired, gaybashed, fire each other...
Man. And only three years.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I watched the pilot of _southland_ last night, followed by _flashpoint_. Can't help wondering if there's been an increase in cop-related shows lately or if i just didn't notice them until i became one of those dispatch voices in the background?
Ok, loved Southland. Will now have to find the rest of the season online to watch it. Have been enjoying flashpoint for a few weeks....but seriously, a SWAT team heading out on a burg call before patrol officers? No f'ing way. It wasn't even a hostage situation. No SWAT team would be anywhere near that call until there was an actual confirmed hostage situation or an ofcr put out an amber alert in the kidnapped infant. Sheesh.

erin, did you catch any of The Unusuals? The dispatch voice in the background had some of the funniest lines in the show.
