'God-given solace'?
I'll tell you what you are to me. You're my God-given solace. –Derek Morgan ...Why are Derek and Garcia not officially a couple? It's a little ridiculous that t…

Really enjoyed this episode. It had my favorite characters doing their thing, and the title sort of directly applies to their choices and actions in the episode. They all do what they believe is the right thing to do, and it's interesting how each goes about it in a different way, and more so how it puts them at odds.

All-nighter at the CPS
James: You can skate? Alesha: Oh yeah. J: What are you doing Saturday afternoon? A: ...Watching you fall flat on your ass. —James Steel and Alesha Phillips, L&a…

The Yummy from these episodes was spawned by a gifted surgeon who wasn't being allowed to do surgeries. Her pride led to Cazali using her to create a Yummy, and really, the point of these two episodes is about pride... or excess pride, rather.

A Game of Thrones
Spent the weekend reading A Game of Thrones... no, I hadn't before now, and yes, I decided to do it because I want to know the story before the HBO series rolls…

1. Ankh is being pwned by both Hina and Chiyoko, in very different ways. And by Satonaka, actually. So basically by any woman he meets. 2. Like I already posted, Eiji and Hina are adorable together. Him being instinctively protective of her is cute, obviously, but there's also the way she's coming to understand him, in particular how she realizes that Eiji is the man he is because of what happened in the village. And because of it, there's understanding and support growing there... it reminds me a little of Natsumi and Tsukasa before Hibiki world, before Yonemura made her more damsel in distress than supportive friend and partner.

Eiji and Hina in ep 9
Aww, that's cute. And really really blatant ship-bait. :D; Have I mentioned how happy it makes me that Eiji is an attractive young dude as opposed to a waify pr…

Wanting things isn't bad in and of itself. What's important is what you do with those feelings. 1. I like Eiji more and more. I like how he doesn't judge anyone…

So I'm thinking I've reached the point in OOO in which it hits its stride and characters and dynamics start to get interesting. I still don't really OOO's various suit designs, I'm not really into the whole props during battle aspect of the action (particularly the mantis appendages/weapons), but the underlying Buddhist theme makes it very interesting, Hino Eiji is quite likable, Ankh is fascinating, and at this point characters I knew I'd like are starting to get more screentime... and characters I didn't expect to care much about one way or the other have snuck up on me.

Hello there, Gotou's BFG
This makes me think perhaps I should be catching up on OOO.

And so, Kamen Rider OOO catch-up begins! I'd actually already watched episode 4, but never posted about it/kind of forgot, so I rewatched. Very quick thoughts t…

Quick thoughts about episode 10 of season 2 of Criminal Minds, because it was just so good: 1. Chess! Of course, chess is a thing on Criminal Minds, but I like …

It was a work call!

Apparently after years of following mostly heavily serialized dramas and tokusatsu, I'm now all about crime procedural dramas... and House sort of counts, since House is Sherlock Holmes and all that. Anyway. I had not really watched Criminal Minds, started to, in part because a friend loves it, in part because it's after Survivor, now that Survivor is back on Wednesdays. And as I tend to do when I like a show that's already been running several seasons, I've gone back to watch older episodes, and I just finished season 1.

I'm a fan of the spy genre in general. Alias is one of my favorite tv shows, and in general find the shennanigans of espionage in pop culture to be a lot of fun…

This episode showcased what I find fascinating about James Steel: a strong idealistic streak laced with a certain arrogance.

I've been watching the new episodes of the current L&O UK series, but I recently started watching from the beginning as well (this is one of the things I li…
