No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Tony's movie references have never bothered me

When it was occasional, no. I've dated That Guy. But I remember at least one episode where like every other sentence was a movie reference, and then they just kinda stood out.

His tendency to be sophomoric about women and about McGee, on the other hand--that I'd really like to lose.

But this, yes.

So NCIS:LA already got a full-season pickup. Shouldn't be surprised.

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

Do you get A&E? They also do a lot.

Last night was a bad night for the CM team. They didn't save anyone's life, and didn't catch the bad guy.

Rossi was a mean, mean man to the judge, but it's not like the judge did anything to deserve decency.

I liked the final bit with the golfer (as not to spoil anyone who hasn't seen it)

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

NCIS:LA is the top new show of the season. Better ratings than FlashForward? But it's so...nothing particularly special! I watch it because I have a thing for the male leads and Linda Hunt, but I don't give it all my attention. Even the bromance is oddly forced.

ita is me. Much as I like the above-mentioned folk. It's poorly executed and even Linda Hunt is really, really phoning it in.

It got a full season pickup.

I find this oddly disappointing. Although as TV content goes...at least it's not another reality show.

Yeah, I pretty much leave NCIS:LA on because it's right after NCIS. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother. I think I watched the first 5 minutes and the last 5 minutes and got all I wanted from this last episode.

I like the girl and the newbie on NCIS:LA, the angst between G and Sam makes it seem like the producers are hoping the slash writers will take notice.

I know! It seems like they set it up just for that and it kinda grosses me out. I wanna come by the slash naturally, if you wanna call it that.

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

The girl dry cleans her jeans. I'm not sure I can get over that. The newbie's kinda sweet, though. Even if his emotional arc is telegraphed from a couple miles away.

I don't see angst between Sam and G, I just see slightly forced bromance. They're trying to force the chemistry, and I'm just not feeling it yet.

I like the break of structure in last night's Mentalist. People stepped out of their places. I'm not a big fan of Tunney's range, but I think she played the breakdown well.

And I totally got that it was the psychiatrist from early on. Not how or why, but I figured he can mess with her memory and he can mess with Jane's hypnosis results.
