Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'd give a lot for another Leverage. Not--Leverage, but with scripts that good and characters that grow and bend and change. Or White Collar. I could do White Collar angst. (not a pun)

Maybe try Person of Interest. Bonus Amy Acker!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I've watched all seasons of POI. Acker, yes, plus Shahi, and Taraji Henson!

I could start a first season rewatch of classic CSI, if I could find it streaming. Or ER. I've been wanting a rewatch of that from S1. Comfort TV, I guess, like rereading favorite books. You already know what's going to happen, and can skip a chapter if it's too awful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have liked many of the USA shows of the recent past for light entertainment. For whatever reason (and I think I was the only one) I really liked Graceland?

In work news, I've gotten heavy pressure from above to create a job for this person and I've been resistant, but she has been really impressive in phone conversations. She just stopped by my desk, and I remembered some of my resistance -- I just don't like her for some reason. Oh well.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

In completely unrelated news, have people heard about this? Maybe Canada should build a wall ....

I am anxiously awaiting Poldark.

The Good Wife left a big hole in my viewing. I don't have anything that quite fits that.

Elementary, yes.

I'll still watch Arrow and Flash, but that is fluff, it's not good and it is uneven at best. I had planned to binge Supergirl over the summer, but haven't yet. Shield is still there for me, but it is up and down.

I am 2 seasons behind in OITNB, 1 season behind in Daredevil and Outlander, and I still have half a season of Stranger Things as well as Teen Wolf to watch, as well as Mr. Robot to start.

I may still check out the first seasons of Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend to see if either grabs me. Or Blindspot.

Maybe I will check out This is Us or Conviction.

I also watch Grey's, Scandal (although I did not finish last season yet), and Criminal Minds.

Oh and clearly Luke Cage which I will probably mainline in one weekend.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I seem to watch a lot of the PBS UK channel - Murder in Suburbia, Midsomer Murders, Dalziel & Pascoe, the British Antiques Roadshow. Plus they're broadcasting some of the old (Pertwee series) Dr. Who (which is usually on too late for me).

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Gilmore Girls!

And definitely Supergirl, Miss Fisher, Jane the Virgin, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

The more I think about it, I have so much stuff that has already aired that I want to watch: Orphan Black, Penny Dreadful, The Americans, both OJ mini series, Transparent, House of Cards, Walking Dead, probably a dozen others. I just need to work on those.
