I know, I know. The memory just overshadows all other thoughts.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They cancelled The Cleaner, huh?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

They did?? Damn! I love that show!!

I don't know that for a fact. Let's google! Yeah, bummer: [link]

Here's what I don't get: How did Banks have that too-skinny look, but Curtis didn't? I mean, I know time passed between shooting the two things, so it could just be that, but I wonder.

Following the Union Station sighting, my bff commented that Bratt was way too skinny. We mused about the camera putting on weight. He did have that elegant gentleman, David Bowie sort of thinness going on. And still had Bank's facial hair. Did I mention the gorgeous?

I was glad to see that, at least in the rotunda area, he sailed along with his rolly bag, totally undisturbed.

Oh a totally different note, I'm putting this here because I can't, for the life of me, find where erika commented on Piven in Cupid.

erika. Dude. My weekend? You eated it. I've been looking all over the intertubes for the original series and thought I'd checked youtube. Thanks to your link, I was up until 3 binging on Trevor Hale. I sleepily salute you!

I know...that series should have been more popular, as every episode appears coated in *crack* or something.(I think that was in the Holiday thread, but you are right to think that I would happen in here eventually.) Yeah, I started off fairly skeptical too, as "Cupid 98" has SO much "Gone before it's time" hype, I thought that there is no way it's really that good. But I was totally wrong, and like, twelve hours later, my mouth dried out and I had to put the rest off for another day.ETA: But it was kind of likebeing on a Procedural how I found it, because I just happened on a Canadian scriptwriting blog that had some linkage, so even if I never write a great show, that pursuit has already enhanced my life...although it does sound like it ought to have a Learyesque "Don't make any plans," warning attached to it.

Honestly, I loved every minute of it. From the opening credits to the last fade. I still can't figure out why it died OR why anyone thought to redo it. I sucked up the first 13 eps in one go (while doing other stuff, thank goodness) and finished the last two this morning. Loved. It.

Cool.

Yeah, it was really great...I hadn't seen any till this year...the reboot wasn't bad but I don't think that Cannavale and Paulson had very much chemistry, and really? Without Trevor/Claire. aren't you just making "Love, American Style," or something? And, then, there's the shallower thing, where if Piven told me he *was* actually a god of some sort, I'd sort of believe it.

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

Psst. Topic.

Rewatched The Tribe, Criminal Minds. Blackwolf is one of the cops of the week I'd most like to see come back. I'm glad we got Ian Anthony Dale twice. We also need Gina Torres again.
