You know the thing that bugged me about last night's CM? The fact that the rolling black-outs were at night. I've lived in suburban LA my entire life and I don't recall them doing rolling black-outs ever at night because that's when demand goes down, they are usually between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., during peak usage. In the summer we have to endure commercial after commercial reminding us to “flex our power” by running appliances after dark. It totally pulled me out of the story and made me angry at the writers. Tim Curry was very creepy though

He always looks smoking hot in casual shirts and jeans and an intense expression on his face.
Oh, wordy-word word.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
OMG, Dawn, you're totally right! I'm forever folding dried laundry in the middle of the night because I try not to start washing until after 7 (San Diego, not LA, but still). That was in the back of my brain, but I couldn't figure out what was bugging me about it. Thank you.
Oh, wordy-word word.
And also, what Connie said.

Though Tony does look nice in a well tailored suit, as well. It's the intense thing that gets me.

There is nothing like a focused Tony. I like him goofy, but when he gets his agent on and really buckles down, he is hot like the sun.

Now I'm going to have to re-watch this past season's opener, when he's tied to the chair and wit-duelling the terrorist.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I loved that season opener of NCIS, but the next episode left me cold and I haven't watched since. After all this time, Tony should be not so goofy anymore. I'm tired of the whole goofy frat-boy schtick.

It is who he is. Lots of grown men don't get over it. But he can do the serious when he needs to. It doesn't bother me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought they were going to tone it down, after he was so solidly bad assed but still funny in the season opener. But they've kept him randomly childish and insecure. The chat roulette episode was just daft. It's a workplace full of people I'd slap. Except Vance. He kinda scares me.

The second ep of the season was just on a Saturday rerun a few weeks ago, and I saw it for the first time. I actually like it, mostly because we got a lot more of McGee and Tony working together on a case, which we only saw glimpses of in the season opener.
The Ziva stuff in that ep was rather meh until the last shot of the two guys coming back to the bullpen to see her at her desk again--that was a nice batch of reaction shots from all three of them.
