Waves back at Frank.

While looking in the rearview, rushing to get back to doing not only my job, but also covering for the guy who's out with a hurt back.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

See, I liked her back when they were doing the ust-y "we lurve each other but can't admit it even as we try to suss out how the other feels, although it doesn't matter because it can never BEEEEEEeee".

When they pulled the Cudahy storyline of "I can't/won't have you, Charlie, and since you won't have an affair with me, I'm gonna find some other criminal to save and possibly mack on" they lost me.

After Charlie realizes Ted cleaned out the closet, just as the scene ends, Charlie looks over at the chair. What was that about? It lead into Charlie going back to the empty house and making a Farthingale Conspiracy Wall. I was thinking maybe that chair faced the closet, but it didn't seem like it was in the right spot (and Charlie stands in front of his wall). It's not a big deal, but the segue didn't make sense to me.

I didn't get confused by that because I was so distracted to discover that Charlie had a chair.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

if LT was a follower of the minor league baseball teams

I just assumed someone in the group said "what frelling teams belong to these?" and they then did a quick search on the net to find out. I mean, I pay attention to minor league baseball, but the only minor league caps I can recognize at a glance are the PawSox and the Durham Bulls.

Apparently Life actually managed to pick up 11% more viewers than Bionic Woman last night. I think that's good news. I hope it's good news. NO TAKING AWAY MY SHOW.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm starting to get the shakes and feeling a little nausea thinking about the possibility that Life will disappear after the scripts run out. This is the first time mention of ratings hasn't filled me with trepidation.

Did they ever say why it was that Farthingale needed to have two secret identies to track down the bomber? Why not just, say, one secret identity and his own identity?

I don't know if I want Charlie to furnish his place. I do want to know if he can cook...

I know he's a fictional character!

I don't think he had secret identities to track down the bomber. I think it's just the way he was.

Oh, that's right. They had speculated that this guy wanted to be a spy so badly (and having a secret life from one wife meant that he had to be away, so why not have another wife to fill up that time) and just happened to actually track down a bad guy.
