Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Today I swear I will use up those softened bananas. I had to toss the last few I saved. Not these. Make me.

Not till I've finished watching Kidnapped, though. I swear, I thought I paid attention to TV. How did I miss this the first time round?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Or you can stick them in the freezer. That's what I always do, actually. Then when I get to three it's nanna bread time.

I did that the last couple times, and when I took them out they were just about liquid. I guess I got them in too late. Which is about now, age-wise.

I have three--I just need to schedule for inclination and energy.

eta: I think I'll even go for Alpen banana muffins, even though those are the costliest banana muffins ever. 3 smooshed bananas is about a cup?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

How did I miss this the first time round?

Even though they made 13 episodes, only the first few made it to the air on it's original run. Good to see, though, that Timothy Hutton has no concerns about type-casting.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I need to watch this show, don't I?

That's comforting.

Well, for me, not them.

I'm watching a scene with Tim in a bar right now, and it's weird. It's episode 9. Nate would have fixed things by now! But the whole son in trouble premise does make me expect certain flashbacks.

I need to bump my Nero Wolfe DVDs higher in the list. Despite having almost 200 titles in my instant viewing queue, I resent shows/titles that need to be viewed on physical media.

I love John Rogers and his attitude to distribution that puts Leverage (theoretically, at least) available legally online within days of airing. I can keep my TiVo clean, and rewatch without having to skip commercials.

I need to watch this show, don't I?

I like it. It has a similar atmosphere to Damages, without the insane manipulative air.

Kidnapped is available online (in the US) here.

I just discovered that Ditaboo has moved from just scratching the couch to actually tearing pieces of fabric from the underside.

This does not make me happy, but at least the damage is where people can't see it.

Our wings are not tired.

I watched Kidnapped and was pissed when they pulled it. I would love to rewatch and see it in its entirety. My question is: were they able to wrap it up in 13 eps? I can't deal with stuff that has no proper ending; I still can't bring myself to watch Deadwood despite owning the DVDs.
