And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

ah, bummer. I love a caper! But the writing didn't appeal to me at all. There were a couple of funny moments but not enough to keep me coming back.

I'm with you. I love Timothy Hutton! And CK! And the woman who played Jane -- how can you beat that? But it was pretty eh for me as well. Alas.

Two of the all-time classics in American humor are in there:

Leverage fans: is it better than Eyes? Similar? Worse? Completely unlike?

Punishingly Intricate

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.

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.

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!
