Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thanks, Typo Boy! That is pretty much what I figured.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I was going to complain about the stereotypical Italian mother in Rizzoli and Isles, until she walked into her daughter's apartment and immediately starts cleaning the kitchen. That is so my mother.

I know she was stereotypical, but I loved the delivery in this exchange between them. "I hope your brother's okay out there.... Your father's out there too." "You brought DAD!?! Did you bring the dog, too?"

And her former partner, the character actor whose name I can't remember right now -- I really liked that he had a wall calendar behind his desk with three Golden Retriever puppies on it.

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

Yeah. I wish they hadn't gone to a "this case is personal" place so fast, but that's a minor quibble. (Also the mom does not seem old enough to be AH's mom, but whatev.)

Mostly I liked it more than I thought.

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

Okay, tell me this picture of Nathan Fillion and a giant freaking snake isn't disturbingly hot. Go on. He looks like the devil.

The status is NOT quo.

Hello, nurse.

I'd do that too. As soon as someone took the snake into a building on another block in another city.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

This is the story of a Procedural.

Long, but worth the read.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap, that was great.
