I am super rolling my eyes at H50.
I was just telling Dana earlier today that I can't watch H50 with my full attention because then I start noticing that they aren't jumping the shark, no, they're parasailing that fucking shark.
Harrow: You didn't have to wound that man. Mal: Yeah, I know, it was just funny.

the only experience I have of "Watching the Detectives" is the show History Detectives on PBS.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am on the same page as Jesse, both with House and Inara.
