"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Heh. I just posted that in the Firefly thread.

Someone on the CM staff is probably reading the Elizabeth Bear reviews; either that, or the quote from her yesterday was a great coincidence. Her reaction to being quoted is what I would be thinking in her shoes: "Well, I dunno how I'm supposed to manage an impartial review after that."

I was talking about last night's CM with a fellow procedural fan here at work (I showed her the Fillon EW cover, too), and we agreed the most fun scene was Rossi and Reid's interrogation with the loser Irish mob guy.

"Smell that?"
::sniffs, nods:: "Hoodrat."

Those two just crack me up when they get going like that.

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

They picked so right with #1. That still makes me tear up. One of my favourite character notes for any character on the show, really. Prentiss especially, but everyone reacting to it is golden too.

I like that they included her "Ma'am" from "100." Prentiss really could infuse one word with such disdain!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

And that was Michael Imperioli's son playing Fitch's son.

No wonder he was so perfect.

It was cool to see them use the Heidelberg Project. And they namechecked Avalon Bakery. (Seriously? Best. Bread. Ever.) Yeah, Detroit!

I felt obligated to catch up because I'm working with Jon Hill for the next 2 weeks. Only one more episode, huh?

Man. That was a good Detroit 187.

I hope it wasn't the last one.

Watching the ep of Detroit 187 now. I want to name a kid Vadim.

I am creeped out by every instance of the Glasgow smile on actors.

The what now?

I was thinking later that the kind of nice ending for everyone probably means that they think they won't be back because otherwise the Chibbs (actor's character from SoA) storyline would have gone on longer.
