We should all watch Forsyte Saga togeter as methadone until the strike ends and we get new episodes.

There was this fabulous song that began rap-ish as Charlie was coming out of the prison, segueing to the scene of the Apartment of Pot and Snake, and googling what I can hear of the lyrics is giving me no love. *sigh*

Someone on my Flist recognized the song! It's Teddybears' Ahead of My Time (feat. Daddy Boastin'). I love it. It makes me chair-dance.

Remind me, if I ever come to LA, to find the music supervisor on the show so that I could make out with her/him.

Alas, I don't own the series (although I've watched and liked it a lot); I do, however, have Band of Brothers, and I may be rewatching that one soon, although I'm not sure I'm up for it. Several episodes of the show reduced me to a sobbing wreck the first time I watched them.

I love the wrinkles around his eyes.

I do, too, except those times when I look at them at a certain angle and they remind me of those fake eyelashes on Alex de Large from A Clockwork Orange. See?

a lot of times, if you put the video on pause and give it time to stream completely, it runs much smoother. Takes a little longer, but worth it.

I haven't tried this with the nbc streamer. At times though, it jumps back to the beginning for no reason or hangs up and just stops. The cbs streamer also seems non-mac friendly but it only stutters. None of this other bad behavior.

I hope that Life does a soundtrack album - because it is so good.

Awesome, Vonnie! I knew there was a song that I'd really liked from the show but haven't had a chance yet to sit down and figure out what scene it was from.

Large curd cottage cheese and pineapple:

Just read an interview with DL and SS, and basically not only do we get the back nine, but the other two eps that never got to be written because the strike hit before they even finished the first set of ordered eps. So, another 11 at least, and not just the 9!

I'm waiting for that link to come up - are you talking about a season longer than 22 episodes?

Or are you saying that they had written 20 episodes already but not the last two?

Or was their original order for less than 13?

heh. I'm saying the originial order was for 13 (which maybe I was the only one thick enough to not know), but they only manage to get 11 written for the strike. So on top of the back nine, there's also the 2 leftover from the original order.

I, um, just mainlined the whole season-so-far of Life. I do not think that having that same experience is all of why I compare it to Life on Mars, although they're not really quite the same. It just sort of feels similar, in ways I can't pin down well.

I do think it would/will bear up well on repeat viewing. I'm fairly certain the writers were playing the long game from the start. I also like that there's plenty left to do, despite a first round of answers.

(While we're on the subject of his time in solitary, I think it would be good to see some evidence of the "broke nearly every bone in his body". But it took us, what, 2 years to see House's leg? I can trust the writers and wait for the right moment.)

Can I comment on how unsurprised I am that Trudes has a thing for the redhead? There have been a lot of redheads on the show, actually, though most of them are women. Also, Damian Lewis looks a lot like Seth Green: they need to play brothers in something.

I think I'll go get another apple out of the fridge.
