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

yes, I do love that. Although tonight's ending was a bit sad in that respect.

Of course I loved the exchange between him and Hathaway (after a case where someone was murdered by being hit with a book)

Haven't you learned from this case? Books are Bad!

Not if you just read them.

Just saw a few Longmire's, mainly because a friend is one of the eps. I'm going to try and catch the ep he is in - playing a prosecutor brought in from out of town. But other than that it did not grab me. The lead character strikes me as a charmless asshole, and I have no idea of why the other much more likeable and interesting characters put up with so much shit from him. Even the young asshole trying for his job is more likeable than he is. Also the young asshole had one hell of a justification for running against him. His way of grieving was to continue to collect full salary, pretty much stop working, and let everybody else in his department work unpaid overtime, including on what was supposed to be their days off, to carry his load? And after a year of this, it surprised him that young asshole decided they would be better off without him. Sorry can't remember any of their names. Young asshole still comes across as an asshole in various ways, but not anything like as big a one as old asshole.

Always Anti-fascist!

It wants to be Justified, but it is so not. It is not even CBS!Justified.

True Dat.

Just one aspect: if cats could understand human speech Raylan could persuade them to take swimming lessons. In contrast, Sheriff Longmire could not sell red, white and blue Popsicles during a hot July 4th on a crowded beach.

Yeah. Not every lead can be Olyphant, though. But it just seemed kind of...old-fashioned(as opposed to cool-retro) for me personally.

I fell asleep partway through The Closer (but woke up for the ending). Did we find out who the mole is yet?

I suspect they are saving that for the last episode. Since they are signaling so hard Brenda will lose her job they are using flare guns. And while there is some suspense as to whether she ends up in jail, they will really surprise me if they go there. Plus, realistically, cops normally don't go to jail for anything they do on the job, especially not cops with rank.

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

So how did I not get spoilt for the end of The Closer?

Did none of you guys watch it, or it didn't provoke any urge to talk?
