I know it's perfectly normal for someone to wear a Lacoste shirt, but on the logoless TV, it really stands out on Pete.
logoless except for the Prius, you mean. Could that placement have lasted any longer?
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Logoless clothing. I watching Leverage and White Collar and Eureka. Car placement ain't no thing. I don't remember--did they extol its virtues? That's what I notice.

When Jinks first pulls up to the Warehouse, Claudia goes on and on about his car's features in the guise of giving him a hard time.

White Collar has ruined me good.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I finally saw the premiere of Alphas. I found it fairly boring, but I will probably give it a couple more episodes.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm with you. I didn't find it boring, but a lot of setup setup setup. I am hoping that future episodes will have some more variety in the structure.
I also appreciated Aldis Hodge for being against type for the 1,000 time after seeing alphas.

Yes, so very much this.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I was honestly in suspense as to whether or not Myka would come back. Well played.
Me too. I was surprised she's back already. Glad, just surprised. I'm irritated that she's straightening her hair, though. Pete seemed toned down, which was good; they'd been writing him as rather an idiot in the last few episodes. I'm feeling a little sorry for H.G., which is also surprising, since the character annoyed the hell out of me. I like Jinks a lot and I hope he stays around. I keep expecting him to speak with an English accent; maybe he reminds me of some Brit I can't think of.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I, too, loved that Myka was back quickly and ditto on feeling bad for H.G Wells. I heard some rumor about H.G.-centric spin-off somewhere? Or maybe I'm making that up.
I know Pete is supposed to be an overgrown adolescent, but the way he was treating that FBI agent made me really, REALLY, angry, regardless of the fact that she turned out to be Evil. The combination of the condescension and the sexual harassment made me want to bitchslap him so much. I hated that the whole thing was played for laughs. As a professional woman who deals with this kind of crap all the time (... Oh, God, let me tell you about the time an older male colleague called me "honey" in a professional meeting. Except I can't think of the words because of the RAGE BLACKOUT), stuff like this makes me see red. Yeah, it's an entertainment, yada, yada. I don't have to like it.

Yeah, I didn't like that either, Vonnie. He hasn't been like that with other professional women, so I assumed (for the sake of my blood pressure) that he was doing it deliberately to annoy her. Counterproductive, yes, but Pete doesn't always think things through.
A male manager called me "sweetheart" in a meeting once. I calmly called him "sweetiecakes" back, in my best sarcastic-irony tone, and I thought several people in the room were going to have aneurysms. Later my boss's boss told me it was all she could do not to bust out laughing. I'm surprised they didn't fire me.
