That. Was. Epic.
Thank you, Aurelia!
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Ryan and Esposito doing the Charlie's Angels pose made my day.
That was the best! I really liked the episode as a whole. Good times.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
a) Criminal Minds--sadder than I thought I'd feel, even when the end game became obvious
b) CSI--why am I still watching this? I mean, it's not bad like it's been, but what's
good
about it?
c) Southland--wait, where did all that come from? The gay cop wants a kid, the Latino cop is a massive liar, Shaq is on the force, Regina's partner doesn't want to do the right thing, and OC cop is suddenly chilling on the dark side? That felt like a lot of motion for one episode.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
"Hey, it's that guy" sighting: Lester Freamon just popped up in an old episode of Waking the Dead. (Multistorey, the first ep of Season 3. Good ep so far, lots of team dysfunction and cranky Boyd.) Interesting, Freamon (well, Clarke Peters) has done a lot of work in the UK, including playing an African dictator on The Professionals back in '83.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I guess I really don't need canon to be canon, because I like the way they brought in Mrs. Hudson in Elementary. (Also? Aidan Quinn? Still yummy.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
The actress who plays Ms. Hudson is gorgeous. I really liked how her trans-ness wasn't the primary focus of her story.
Sherlock throwing a tantrum in the snow plow about how they don't know what they're going to find and that's why it's an ADVENTURE! like a 6 year-old = way cuter than it had any right to be.
I continue to love the way this show does slow-building character work.

Always Anti-fascist!
Bt, I think he has lived there most of his working life, I think as an expat, but since I found out Idris Elba's a Brit, I haven't been entirely sure.

She was fantastic on Dirty Sexy Money.

I feel like I'm asking myself that every week. It seemed like it was gonna get good again for a little while there, but I don't think that's actually going to happen. Or, what I think is good and what the show thinks is good are not coinciding, more like. And yet, still watching. Intermittent rewards are a bitch, man.

Seriously. I remember Kat describing them as the best way to train children, counter-intuitive as that might seem. I feel...played.
But what I am sure about is that when I have piles of episodes to watch, and there's Elementary in the heap, that's currently what I go for first. Canonicity aside, I think it's one of my favourite procedurals right now.
