Actually, I think it says "I don't give a shit, except this one..."

I think this wasn't so much to show Kalinda the bad-ass. I think it was to show that Louis Canning isn't "the new Will" b/c his reflexes aren't as sharp/fast as Will's were.

Of course, since Will was single, Alicia wasn't the mistress. I also saw Diane's 'metaphorically' remark as a gracious attempt to apologize for the misuse of the word. Especially when taken with the tone she said it in.

Was it Peter that did the used car ad? I thought it was someone working for F/A - just because I'm not sure how Peter would get the NSA supervisor's direct office line, while F/A's client (whom I can only refer to as "Gabe from The Office" 'cause I don't recall his TGW character name) would have that at hand.

I don't know if this should go into the "head--scratcher" thread, but since it annoys me, I'll put it here: there's an ad for some ice-cream pop in which a woman sitting in traffic in a convertible a few cars behind an 18-wheeler full of these pops gets out of her car and to the truck by walking - barefoot - along her car and the few between it and the truck, inlcuding walking along the hood of her car. The hood, which should be so hot that she'd suffer 3rd degree burns on the soles of her feet. Unless the implication is that they've been in traffic so long that all vehicles have turned off their engines and the engines have cooled down entirely. Stupid ad!

I seem to recall a story on This American Life or some similar NPR program about someone who spent his teen years breaking into his neighbors houses because his home life was just terrible. He'd just break in and pretend he lived in the neighbor's house instead of his own. I couldn't find it online, but I didn't look too terribly much.

Inquisitionist (great s/n & avatar, btw): I was just coming over here to post that. Really brings home how much I miss JC saying Sorkin's words. And, also that I need to get Netflix to watch The Newsroom.

So, we've had Pam Dawber visit. I was thinking about other guests I'd like to see. If we're going to the well of co-stars from previous shows that our stars have been on, I'd go with Sigourney Weaver - James's mom on Political Animals; and I keep thinking she and Robin Williams worked together, but can't recall if I'm right - and Anthony Head from Buffy. She could reprise the James's mom thing, with Head could be his father. (Now I don't recall: have we met his family?)

I just found out that someone I knew 100 years ago (well, not quite - but a long time ago) does voice-over work. Now I find myself trying to 'locate' him in commercial work.

Thank you ApathyMonger for the correction. I knew it was some premium cable show.

Tru Detektive, or something like that. (She & the daughter watched part of an episode of it a few weeks back.)

That would be the name of the TV show that Hardwick would host that would talk about "@Midnight", and air right after @Midnight ended, wouldn't it?

More Mayhem? You Betcha - A TV Version of ‘Fargo’ Has Parallels to the Film

MyrtleGroggins - I was wondering if they were going to do a jury tampering storyline. As in, did Lewis make contact with her pre-verdict? I wonder how they ended up communicating.

They really did, didn't they? I'd love some back story on the decision to adopt Bert. Or, is Bert Jackie's biological son adopted by Pete? If that's the case it adds to the bramble-ness of the family tree.

Was the woman giving him the laced cupcakes the jury foreman from his trial?

I don't know if you can listen to differenct sections on Slate's Gabfest player. A few weeks back they talked about the show. Gabfest Is Invincible Edition. And a link from that page: For a TV Spy Show, the CIA Approves the Scripts. Oliver North, Now in the Service of TV’s K.G.B.

Me too! I understand that one of the showrunners from CI came over to SVU (Leight?). I think that it's like this: Olivia Benson:Lewis::Bobby Goren:Nicole Wallace. I hope that they wrap up Lewis's storyline much quicker than they wrapped up Nicole's over on CI. I didn't hate her as much as I do Lewis, but L&O isn't about these arcs (at least I don't think it should be!).

Funches! He's FUN in BUNCHES! I really like his laugh; it's quite infectious.

We didn’t get nearly enough backstory on Alec. We learned about all the other characters, met people from their respective pasts, but not Alec. I was really hoping to have met Nana; naturally she’d’ve been played by Nichelle Nichols (or a small Asian woman). I thought Hodge’s best acting was in The Grave Danger Job (after he’d been saved; Kane did some great acting right then too) & in The Experimental Job (when he was playing at Frat Boy). He played Hardison as well rounded and he played off of Reisgraf very, very well as their relationship progressed.

io9 has a nice piece discussing political science fiction: Person of Interest is Making Political Science Fiction Relevant Again From the article:

I've heard that more than once these past few days. People have said it's so that it won't be another old white guy we're all yelling about. I recall hearing that any and all liability for the accidents that are in question here (or all but one of them) will fall under an old company name, so that the current company named GM won't see any liability or have to pay out damages. I may need to check my facts on that, but I'm fairly certain I've got it right. Here's something: GM liability in fatal crash faces key test. From the article:

Raingirlkm - I'm so glad to see you've migrated your Bear's Tweets translations over. I was about to post at TWoP that I hoped you'd be doing so. Thanks for doing & posting them.

Which makes me laugh: Vigilance must be doing some survelliance to be able to have received the leaked information. So, they can surveil but the government cannot? (I do get the distinction between a person or small group of people as opposed to the government.) I guess that they think of themselves as 'white-hats.'

That settles it: I'm buying the entire series.
