Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

It's "Inspector George Gently". I find it interesting to see all the period details (if "period" is appropriate from something fairly recent). The clothes and music are familiar to me from my childhood, along with a lot of the attitudes, allowing for differences between countries. "Two nations separated by a common tongue." (or whatever the quote is)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Castle: Is there something vaguely different about Ioan Gruffudd's face? I kept thinking he was him and then thinking no, it was just a Gruffudd-alike.

Maybe he's just a little thinner?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

He looked just the same to me, only I couldn't remember his name until halfway through.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

He looked the same to me too. TCG and I laughed when his character was suddenly caught up in a ponzi scheme, since his character in Ringer was also caught up in one.

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

He basically seemed to be the Ringers guy.

I hate "I am irrationally jealous of your perfectly above board interaction with a guy whose crime is being cuter than me" -> "Oh, well, there was a kiss, so my caveman possessiveness was totally founded, except not founded, because there was no EVIDENCE..."

That is one of the "new we've gotten them together" things I'd love to avoid. Never mind Moonlighting. THIS.

However, I'm sure I'll find out that it not only happens in real life, but it's also exciting when it does, so it's both plausible and entertaining. Enh.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Agree. But I'm not real wild about the flirty intimate conversation leading to that kiss either.

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

Is there something vaguely different about Ioan Gruffudd's face?

I think it's just the distinct lack of pocket squares.

I did like the "why didn't you just push him away? Oh" bit, but, yeah, not my favorite cliche.

If Tiva kiss this episode, they might have a more charged ship than Destiel, but only might. Jeez, I forget the writers even pretended they were a thing...

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Elementary: daaaaaaamn, Jonny Lee Miller. Talking about his sobriety anniversary? Blew. Me. Away.

I was, to put it mildly, unimpressed by Joan's gift.
