You're very jaded, LeNub. I hope this show keeps DeKey's character (what's his name, again?) pretty much on the straight and narrow, and Neal a romantic piner for a while,
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

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

Just watched Friday's Numb3rs. I'm not sure that I like this "quirky guest professor of the week" thing. On the other hand, it's more realistic for them to call on people with various types of expertise instead of Charlie, Larry and Amita having all of the scientific knowledge in the world.

It's the quirky part that bothers me, more than their cost-cutting rotation. Are Charlie and Amita really that exceptional, that they can pass for normal?
But even worse was the invisible cellphone Pentagon guy. That was way too precious.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
A) I miss Larry. I always miss Larry when he's gone.
B) Seriously. And I think if invisible cellphone guy had been played with a touch more menace and a touch less whimsy it would have come off with the right panache. But as it was, definitely too precious.

The status is NOT quo.

Yes, this. And also what Liese said. I adore Larry and miss him terribly, and invisible cellphone guy had me tilting my head sideways and muttering, "When did the writers decide what this show really needed was Colonel Flagg?"

So behind: haven't watched Numb3rs or Cold Case yet.
I'd suggest skipping Numb3rs. It was painful.
