Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

You know how you lean your head to one side and kinda pound on it to get water out of your ear? That's what I'm doing now, to get the thought of Hotch/Rossi out of my head.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Hey, that's what I was doing at the Hotch/Garcia notion.

Thrive to spite them

Is anyone watching Human Target? I know it's not a procedural but I was wondering if anyone was and if so if it was being talked about around here somewhere.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I don't know where it would belong, but I tried it, and it never gelled for me. It seemed very schizophrenic in tonem and as of the fourth ep that I watched, still didn't seem decided on it's personality at any given five minute stretch.

It's...kind of a procedural? I was lukewarm at the start but I'm likiing it more. Very much liked the new adversary introduced tonight.

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

For the record, I never brought up Garcia/Hotch. That's your own sick mind, brenda.

Hard Target isn't a procedural. It doesn't have a thread home here, beyond whitefont in natter or similar.

Has it decided yet? Is it noir? Is it camp? Is it really fucking dark? Because it's all of those things, but never at the same time, and all in the same episode. I adore the title sequence, and could watch that over and over again. But when Rorschach is on the screen, it's a completely different show, tone aside.

I think my favorite moment of what I've seen was from the airplane ep, where at the end the female potential recruit is dangling from the plane, all noir femme fatale, saying "What's your name". The only time I enjoyed the whole Chance-Mysterious-Identity schtick. But it's not the show.

Hard Target isn't a procedural.

No, it's a John Woo/Jean-Claude Van Damme movie.

Sorry, but if you're going to get technical...
