See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'll watch anything for Cliff Curtis.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

my DVR only picked up the last 40 minutes of House, and it was totally fine! I'm not sure if that means I should stop watching it or not.

I used to watch only the last half-hour of ST:TNG all the time, something in my schedule made that easiest and I always followed the plot just fine.

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

So...does Emily have a little thing for Hotch? Being the one to go find him last week, and now picking him up and walking him to his door this week and giving him the deflected "You're not alone..." speech?

Shallowly, Morgan looks like he's lost some weight, and Reid is looking mighty pretty, invalidism and all. Must be bulking up the upper body plus the new rag tag hair.

Oh, and I was on the ramification lookout during CSI:NY and noticed Stella's hand flutter briefly down on Adam's shoulders. I'm not sure what the two second post-coital shot and the corridor conversation of "Oh, let's both just pretend it never happened, 'mkay?" was all about anyway. It seems pointless to leave it there.

I may be on ship alert right now.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I liked half of CSI:NY, but the half involving the father with lung cancer dragged the show WAY DOWN. I'm not sure why the scenes were there because the main story was enough.

“Not dead yet!”

The Mentalist: Kendall Cho. "You're gonna die alone." Hee!

Cho rocks the house. I love him. I do hate Rigsby's hair, though.

Jane needs to be slapped about once a day, even though, or perhaps because he's so often right. Attitude, man, attitude. It's nice that Bosco mostly has his number. But I'm surprised he fell for the donut misdirect. It wasn't Patrick's subtlest work.

While scouring the web for provocateuse pics I discovered that Simon Baker is a surfer and a skateboarder, and I just got a proper new crush. I totally can't see him playing lead in The Guardian. That must have been soul crushing for him. He's like a labrador puppy in most of the pics.

“Not dead yet!”

Rigsby's hair is terrible right now and the shirt they had him in was too small. Cho's shirt in those final scenes, however? Humina! Those shoulders and biceps are a thing of beauty.

Have you noticed that Jane's a little more aggressive about being right this season? And while Bosco may have his number, Jane is right about a couple of things with respect to Red John. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out. Lewis thinks Bosco's going to be captured and tortured by Red John at some point.

Show not called Those Clever Guys at the CBI, I guess. I'd like it if they showed a bit more chops without Jane, but it's his stage. So I think he will ultimately be proven right, and how better than torture? But I think Bosco will continue to get some truths in along the way.

“Not dead yet!”

Oh, absolutely. I think it's a case of showcasing the two sides of the same coin adage and that it'll serve to remove some blinkers from Jane's eyes. I did find it kind of surprising how callous Bosco seemed to Jane's personal stake in the case but I put it down to the "Have to be harsh in order to get him to back off approach."

I think the guys are getting a little more proactive-- what's funny is they're using Jane techniques instead of more traditional ones.
