"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Yeah, and FWIW, I could get rid of Jane in a heartbeat. Or at least keep him about as toned down as he was in this week's ep.

I love me some Cho and for the life of me, I don't understand why they don't give him more screen time. I think he is my favorite. If they kill him off, I will not be amused.

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

I don't think the show has anything that sets it apart, aside from Jane. Cho is amazing, but there's no way, I think, that they can write him in a way that stands up to extended screentime. Brusqueness is his thing. How much of that can you do? None of the other characters are remarkable or that interesting. I'm not saying you have to have a gimmick, but you should have *something*. The crimes aren't all that, the rest of the crimesolvers are pretty mundane.

I think they should mellow out Jane a bit, but having him like he was this week is just great.

Compassionately intolerant

Question of procedure...see what I did there?...Would we be discussing the new CHAOS dramedy here, in comedy or in Natter? (which I have not yet visited this morning so the question might be answered already)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The thing is, Simon Baker is so ridiculously gorgeous.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Also, I like listening to him talk.

“Not dead yet!”

All of the above on Simon Baker.

I like seeing the pretty on my screen.

But I'm with the others who love the more toned down Jane of this week.

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

Just watched, and totally agree.

What was that show with crazy-looking Ray Liotta that he was on? Kind of like Leverage but dark instead of fun. He was a whole different kind of (very hot) psycho on that.

Smith!

Man, if that show had lasted, the slash that would have been written about his character and Jonny Lee Miller's...

It was nice to see that there might be a hint of human under there somewhere.
