I liked the final bit with the golfer (as not to spoil anyone who hasn't seen it)
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

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.

“Not dead yet!”
And I totally got that it was the psychiatrist from early on.
Strangely enough, that didn't ping for me until fairly late. I think it's because I was just so caught up in everyone stepping out of their prescribed roles a bit. It was really interesting and I like what they didn't show us almost more than what they did show us.

Speaking of changes of structure I don't think the CSI one worked nearly as well. Too much (boring) time with the perpetrator/flashback to the victim, not enough crimesolving.

Art Crawl!!!
Man, Southland has been canceled - two weeks before it's season 2 debut.
Need to rewatch Mentalist (I fell asleep) and also, watch CM. . . FB is eating my tv watching time. Although, actually on Wednesday it was shopping that was eating my tv watching time.
