Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

Okay, I did not know that Linus was a Brit. Bad fan: [link]

Another TV Guide procedural interview, this time with Owain Yeoman (yeah, I knew about him) and Amanda Righetti: [link] (spoilers for what happens with Van Pelt and Rigsby next week, but also shirtless wet Yeoman, so make your own call).

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

If you like Linus Roache, you can watch him giving a brilliant performance (with bonus making out with Robert Carlyle) in Priest.

Shame you exported all the Brits that can handle American accents. Have you seen Spooks recently?

My god, I watched the last ten minutes of L&O too many times. Linus gives the world's smallest smirk. I love it. But I deleted before rewatching the beginning, and I should have. I do love Lupo too.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

NCIS:LA I loved the little tea thing that ran through the episode, especially, "Can't you taste the paper". Heddy is really the only reason for me to watch right now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If you like Linus Roache and Timothy Hutton, and a bunch of other awesome people, I recommend the 13-episode series "Kidnapped."

Man, I wish Netflix had either of those streaming. I feel cheated having to wait for physical media. Possibly because my queue is impossibly long.
