Oh, and the TWOP fans also caught the name of lawyer lady's law firm: Wolfram, Hart, and Donowitz. The ep's writer worked on Angel.
Bwah! Though I kind of wish it had been Wolfram, Hart, & Morgan.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You saw the episode with father-of-the-year Reid? What an asshole.
Lie To Me won't be returning until the summer. Fox is positioning it as a way to provide scripted entertainment over the summer season, but I don't think it bodes that well for the series.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I would agree. They went to some expense to get Shawn Ryan on board and now they are shunting the show to the summer? Hmm.

I'm getting caught up on NCIS through reruns on various channels, and I think I have my so-far favorite ep which I saw last night, "Probie" in which McGee kills a DC undercover cop. That was just so excellently done, and Sean Murray nailed his performance.

Oh, "Probie" is a tough one to watch, you just want to hug McGee and tell him it's all right, but it's not, and everyone around him knows it.
I think what I like most about NCIS is that it's not just the crime solving and the characters, but it's about Gibbs teaching his team how to become the kind of people who will be able to lead teams of their own and now to make him proud.

The expressions on both Ziva and Tony's faces when they hear McGee say that the guy was a Metro cop were perfect, just filled with horror and sadness for Tim and for the cop.

I think Gibbs treats them like children most of the time. The head-slapping is horrendous, and the constant "Really?" is disrespectful. The show has stated that Tony can lead his own team, but not that Gibbs realises it. And Weatherly deliberately portrays Tony like someone not ready to graduate. I don't think anyone will ever get promoted over him.

I just watched this week's SVU. They seem to have gone from "ripped from the headlines" to "ripped from the history books."

Foyet: Now I understand that profilers think that stabbing is a substitution for the act of sex. That if somebody's impotent, they'll use a knife instead. Is that what you think, Agent Hotchner? Maybe this will change the way that you profile. [thrusts] [Hotch gasps]
I still can't tell how sexual that was supposed to be.
