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.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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!”

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.

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.

What I liked about last night's CSI was their casting of Tim Blake Nelson, who's one of my favorite nerdy-type character actors. But, the overall structure of the show was definitely not very successful.

Yes. IMO, if they had just done it "straight" - it probably would have worked better.
Problem is, I wasn't rooting for the victim. I wanted him dead myself and so therefore there wasn't a lot of tension.
