NCIS LA: We discovered G's early life of foster-home roulette, including his longest stint of 3 months with a Russian family. There were attempts at character development, but I was most distracted by wanting all the stuff in Arkady's house. Though I was impressed that they actually had a samovar in the Russian foster family's house.

Now that you mention it I do remember the glass shelving with glass bottles in the bay windows of Arkady's house--dodgy choices for earthquake country.

I didn't watch Carnivale past the first couple episodes, and I don't remember

Oh, man. Jonesy. The scene in which Jonesy first sleeps with Rita Sue? When she kisses his mangled knee and he starts sobbing? SEARED into my brain.

Lookit, Youtube has it. Awesome. [link]

Matt Bomer is insanely pretty, but personally, I find Tim DeKay much hotter. Smart and a bit repressed and principled and tenacious -- yumm.

When she kisses his mangled knee and he starts sobbing? SEARED into my brain.

OMG TIM DEKAY ILU.

He's also in "Big Eden".

NCIS: Poor Timmy.

And he really needs to stop going to that coffee shop. Last time we saw him getting coffee is when the coffee shop guy decided his books were real and started killing people.

I really have to get around to watching "Big Eden" one of these days. Although, doesn't the main character end up with someone else than DeKay's character? Granted, all my Big Eden knowledge comes from that one vid I watched a while ago.

Jonesy never had as much raw chemistry with any of the anemic young women on the show he's paired with as he did with Rita Sue. The Jonesy/Sophie in particular never did anything for me, but that might have been my Clea Duvall issue.

The scene in which Jonesy first sleeps with Rita Sue?

Just watched it. That's heartbreaking. Excellent job, DeKay.

Although, doesn't the main character end up with someone else than DeKay's character?

Dude (spoilerfont), Eric Schweig!

You must watch this movie, Vonnie.

Oooh, it must be that hot, strapping Native-Canadian-looking guy I saw in that vid dancing with whassisface.

I shall rearrange the Netflix queue accordingly! (Right now, I have Twilight sitting on the top of the queue since I decided I should at least watch it so that I could mock it from a better-informed position.)

CM was remarkably light on the gore this week. They made it obvious that it wasn't Rossdale (who I thought did a good job) because they showed him shirtless right after they said the unsub was a cutter who'd be ashamed of their scars. I just didn't figure there would be a third party. I thought it was all the agent.

Nice to have no Tamara, although I wish we could get her over and done with.

Good to see Morgan's still doing a decent job--sad he can't call Garcia "baby girl" anymore.

Good Emily this week. Good character notes in general, and I always like Reid mockery. Hotch and The Beatles, huh? I can dig it.
