Ethan Rayne sighting on this weeks NCIS. I liked McGee having his own probie.

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

Do any of the CSIs other than Miami visually brand themselves with their lead? The spots for CSI: Miami culminate in a Caine silhouette. It's pretty laughable, and I can't visualise the same for Las Vegas or NY. Is NY still on the air, anyway?

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

CSI NY is still on the air and the structure of its plots are as inscrutable as ever.

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

Once they start talking about the Blue Butterfly kiss, the funny just keeps coming.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I love how, even out of character, Seamus and Jon are buddies.

Did anyone watch the premiere of missing last night? I wasn't that impressed.

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, it kind of missed. Too bad - the cast is good and am I crazy or was that Gillian Anderson playing the CIA boss?

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

So, I'm watching an episode of Blue Bloods that I recorded a few weeks ago, and I was very amused to realize that Tom Wopat had a guest role. He has not aged as well as John Schneider.

Okay, I know this is entirely trivial, but I decided to play along as I watched CSI Miami, and fact check, since it was tennis, and I like tennis.

So they said something I thought sounded spurious, and I would doublecheck my assumptions--each pro uses a unique (red flag word) string tension, and there's a website that lists them. How likely is that going to be? Seriously?

OMG. So fucking wack. Seriously. Now, if they were looking at a combo of racquet brands and strings they might have a start, but players have a starting tension, and move from there. Plus, der, they have to have racquets restrung all the time. Tension doesn't *stay* at what they set it at. You play, you lose tension.

Also, there are a shitload of pros. Of course some of them are going to use the same tension. Which will not be measured to two decimal points. For christ's sake.

Okay, that was your irrelevant diatribe about a show that's never accurate anyway. I think I feel a little better, but somehow...still watching...there's no curing me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm glad you looked into it. For some reason, knowing that a show I don't even watch is that ridiculous with its "facts" is strangely comforting.

Why that should be I can't imagine, but I'm not going to examine it too closely.
