You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Saw a preview for Prime Suspect for this fall--am I right in thinking they're importing the stellar British show?--and I'm puzzled by how they're dressing the lead. She always has a scarf or a high necked shirt of some sort around her throat. Is it a fashion I haven't noticed yet, or does the actress not like her neck, or is it supposed to mean something? It was distracting.

I saw a preview and was not amused (in the British sense). Jane Tennyson is awesome, and the bit I saw was not awesome, it was typical American brashness. I will watch it, because I love both Maria Bello and Prime Suspect, but I have very low expectations.

Yeah, this Jane looks more like the typical "hard-nosed bitch trying to get ahead in a man's game" thing. The guy she's riding with even says "Have you ever been afraid that someone was going to drop a house on you?" Not encouraging.

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

I heard the show is good, but nothing like PS on BBC. So I'm willing to give it a chance.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I saw a commercial for the new Prime Suspect in the theater. Eh. It just reminded me I need to Netflix the original series.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The critic reviews have been pretty positive, though they note it's not like a clone of the original show.

Okay, that said, I just saw a commercial for Prime Suspect at the movie theater, and the commercial was terrible.

Oddly, my tivo thinks that it's a rerun.
