I just realized I don't think I'm watching ANY one-hour dramas now (except Mad Men but it won't be back for a while). So sad! I did tape the premier of BSG on Friday but I don't have high hopes for it.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Leverage fans: is it better than Eyes? Similar? Worse? Completely unlike?
Personally, I think Leverage's not as good on a quality level, but I think it's more fun.

is it better than Eyes?
Aw, hell. I forgot all about that show, and how good it was.

I'm watching The Mentalist. I love it! It's somewhat formulaic police-drama stuff, with somewhat formulaic Sherlock-Holmesian detail stuff, but I just love the star. He's always smiling! There's no overblown anger, or righteousness -- the one time he showed strong emotion, we only knew about it because someone else closed the door to give him privacy.
Okay, and he's a little smug. But I love him anyway.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
No snow here yet. And it's a bit warmer than it's been -- it's above freezing! I went to the store around the corner without a hat!

Our wings are not tired.
I've only seen one Leverage, the mobster wedding one. It was great fun, but I knew I was missing some history of the characters. That didn't take away and I will try it again.
Haven't seen The Mentalist. The BSG premiere was divine.

It was 7 degrees here this morning, with hoarfrost on Everything! My car antenna was pretty and fuzzy. So I'm scraping the windshield and thinking, "Damn, it's cold," then I remembered the Buffistas in the sub-zero conditions, and then I felt warm.
Kind of like "There are starving children in Ethiopia who would be grateful for those green beans," but weather related.
