Not only do I still watch Grey's with pleasure (ecxept for my Shonda-rants), Choclatechip45, I still watch reruns - all the time.

That makes a lot of sense, minx. Zoey is more reserved, and tends to watch everyone, including Will. I'm sure Will pays attention to her when she's playing with something he wants! ;-)

That was a decent start to the new season. The crime, while convoluted, was really interesting, and I am still loving the great partnership between Flynn and Vega. Not sure what to make of Cross - there seems to be some history we're missing out on for now ...

Disco and GI Joe will get the "action" they want for their mission. If their purpose was to piss me off and make me stop watching this show, then MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

From what I saw, the dogs were just fine - a little over excited, but not destroying anything or biting anyone. While some people would freak about the dog on the kitchen counter, I would laugh it off and find another room to sequester the dog (animals on my counters don't bother me - I reserve my disapproval for ho'wives who do the same thing in other people's kitchens!). Looks like they all made it through the night without trauma or drama. It was cute seeing Bill's brothers say hi to the kids on Bill's phone. I got the impression that Will, at least, was used to skyping with his relatives, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that's how the extended family stays in contact.

If memory serves me correctly, a fisherman and his money are easily parted. ;-)

I also thought the "business" banter between Bill and Judy was funny, with Bill almost feeding Judy her lines (paraphrased, as I've deleted the episode): Bill: How about this? Judy: Only if it comes in pink. Pink sells. Bill: How about fish? Judy: Fish die too easily and are a hassle. Bill: Do-It-Yourself Dog Bathing? Judy: We have a high end salon and you want to put in a carwash? I have the sneaking suspicion it is a very good thing Judy was there, because the shop would be an interesting place if Bill had been expo shopping alone. :-)

Anticlimactic restaurant scene, as Ramona didn't have a total meltdown as expected, but her denial, delusion and cringe-worthy scene with Mario made up for it. :-) Of course, nothing makes me cringe like the mention of Aviva and her skeevy father.

I am tired of Elliot's nasal whingeing about everything, and his douchy disposition. The rescue was good, but I dislike him enough to wonder if he would've been so quick to respond if they weren't his buddies (and the cameras hadn't been aboard). I know, that is the worst thing to think of a fisherman, but Elliot doesn't strike me as much of a fisherman, since he hates every minute he spends out crabbing. Junior can take his whiny ass away from me, too. Herniated discs hurt. I get that. Shut up and deal. (This is coming from a person who popped 2 vicodin and an oxy at 4 am just to be able to shower and get to a job that exacerbated my herniated neck discs and shoulder/arm/elbow & wrist injuries; the guys I worked with never heard me moan & groan). Meh, I just don't like the guy, either. Like Curious5, I should've had some brunch before posting. :-)

Another enjoyable episode for me. Bill was so cute when he was laughing at Judy's dog poop gag reflex; he obviously enjoys teasing her. It was nice of Judy to let Bill have his bonding time with his brothers; even though we don't see much of them, they seem to have a close relationship. Those dogs of Judy's are a rambunctious little bunch, aren't they? I'm sure the chaos of the camera crew added to their excitement; at least they seemed to quiet down after being sequestered away from all the action. :-) Will and Zoey just LOVED those flashlights, didn't they? I thought they were pretty cool myself - stuff like that used to keep my niece amused when she was their age, too. (Of course, she'd amuse herself by playing chase games with the light beam and my cat, picking up yet another of her auntie's proclivities.)

I'm pretty sure I heard a "youse" slip out, minx. ;-) I like the idea of children being exposed to different accents; I was, and it has given me a decent ear for dialogue that others seem to need subtitles to understand. Yes, thanks, Kohola3. From what I've seen on the show, jnymph, Jen is well liked and well respected in her field, so the positive reviews come as no surprise to me. Jen has earned a good reputation, in my book. :-)

Oh, Willowy, I am sappy enough to want to have seen the evolving relationships between the widow Garret-Ellsworth and Mr. Swearengen, and even more so, Seth and Martha Bullock. Such rich promise ... ETA - for the first time ever, I noticed a "wardrobe malfunction" in the scene between Trixie and Alma after the attempted shooting. Trixie has a wrist/glovey thingy on both hands, but when she gets up to close the door on Trixie, her right hand is bare; after closing the door, it's back to the wristlet, and after she sits back down at the table & lights a match - bare handed again (this time BOTH wrists). and that is probably the last time I am visually observant and totally illiterate (wrist/glovey thingy indeed).

A little scene I'd forgotten about was when Alma was being shot at*, and Al vaulted over his balcony railing to arrive at her side at the same time good old Charlie Utter did. Much as I loved these particular two working in concert; upon this re-watch I was moved by the swashbuckling, tousled-hair Al in an embarrassingly fan-girl fashion. * fuck me to tears if I didn't type "shit at"; spellcheck didn't catch it, but I try to read before posting. :-)

I believe that was in a preview of the upcoming episode, MelinaBallerina, and it seems to be yet another fakeout by the Bravo promo monkeys, since I also saw an extended promo that showed something about papers and what Elliot's lawyer told him.

I would love to see updates on the old cases, TheEditrixHasSpoken. No doubt there are new developments in several stories they've covered.

I needed a moment when Oberyn said: "I will be your champion". Life's going to suck for Robin now.

Replace the nuts with a bottle of Pinot Grigio and that squirrely broad might just surprise us with her nimble maneuvers. Ramona might not look much like a squirrel, but I'm convinced she's nuts. :-) However she escapes the women at the restaurant, I'm hoping it is a spectacular scene.

I think this is the start of a beautiful thing, Edie Wharton. Please don't stop. :-) ETA : Dilberts With Filberts Fugitives With Toothbrush Shivs Brutal Types With Lead Pipes Mamasans With Frying Pans Strutting Cocks With Chinese Woks Snipers Who Wear Diapers Behind Bars for Throwing Stars Top Bananas With Katanas MeeMaws With Chain Saws Wrinkled Knees and Antifreeze Parsons Who Commit Arson It's a sickness, I tell you.

mbutterfly - I liked the episode where Jen had an outfit made by Chloe Dao. It was interesting to see how Chloe addressed proportion and fit. I'd also love to see anything related to shopping for Zoey's adorable little outfits. The San Diego Zoo/Safari Park would be cool, especially if they could get one of those behind the scenes tours. I remember taking my niece to a few of those; her favorite was the closed to the public nursery wing - baby animals are sure to bring a smile to everyone's face. They also have a wonderful Children's Zoo section that is perfect for toddlers. Maybe the Houston Zoo has stuff just like this, though?

Much as I despise everything Garcia, my personal experience has shown me that her shooting Reid's revolver scenario is at least plausible. The very first time I fired a weapon, I weighed about 110 and shot a soda can (albeit only about 10 feet away from me) with a hot loaded 44 magnum revolver - double action and one handed - and hit with all 6 shots. (My palm hurt like a motherfucker for a couple of days, but it was sweet!). And I was an avowed gun hater/fearer. But the guy showing me how to handle his gun was showing off his one handed skills, and I just followed suit without any thought (he later told me that was the day he fell in love with me). It is ridiculously easy to shoot a revolver, which is why it is the recommended "self defense" firearm for folks who don't do a lot of shooting. Without hearing protection in a small hospital room I'd imagine the sound is deafening and disorienting; not to mention the whole taking a human life trauma. So I understand Garcia being discombobulated, but why wasn't Reid reeling from the gunfire exploding next to his ear? Ach, I just can't apply too much reason to this show and still enjoy it.

Ramona's escape from the Restaurant Impossible Intervention : With apologies - I am reacting to the provocation of Bravo's promo monkeys.

Since there was absolutely no reason to fuck with the format of Disappeared, I can only assume that the changes ID made are not ones I'll be happy with. Following a brand new current case may bring the drama, but most of the stories we've seen unfold over months and years, not weeks. Also, since police are usually loathe to provide too many details to the public during the initial phases of an investigation, I'm having a hard time imagining what the show will be able to follow, and fear they will just use a lot of wild speculation as filler. I hope I'm wrong [/Pollyanna]

I'd like to see them take a train trip to ... anywhere. Will would go bonkers!

That was so stinkin' cute, stormy! They finally found something Will doesn't like to eat. :-)

I won't hate you for Cell Block Psychics if you don't hate me for wanting to edit my list to include all the new titles we come up with here, TheEditrixHasSpoken ... it is my latest Dark Obsession. I shouldn't be proud of my ability to devise stupider show titles than the brain trust at ID, but there you have it, I AM just that shallow. :-) (Harpies With Sharpies isn't my proudest achievement, but it's close!)
