Oh please. I know television is often the land of the sparsely-brained, but surely any police officer capable of the higher brain functioning necessary to drive a car on finding a container labelled 'biohazard - medical waste' just isn't just going to a) pick it up with his bare hands, thus contaminating the evidence, and b) open it and look inside?

This entry was brought to you courtesy of the US pilot episode of Eleventh Hour.

I now have a computer in my new office at work. So I will shut up about moving now. Really.

In other news, in addition to my book blog over on Vox, I've also started a goodreads account. Because there can never be too many books. Seriously. Also, my library is excellent as, if I order a book online and there is one on the shelf in the system somewhere, I have it by the end of the week. Dude! I can has the complete Lord Darcy! ;)

Now for some spoilery stuff, so lj-cuts abound:

( The Middleman spoilers )


Meanwhile, if we're talking twigs then it must be time to talk about ( Burn Notice spoilers )


And there is still also much love for Flashpoint and its' inestimable Canadian Actor Bingo scores, since ( Flashpoint spoilers )

I'm seriously considering junking my Sky subscription because I watch so little telly and one of those Freeview boxes would do just fine for my occasional forays into it, unless things dramatically improve in September. What with one of those gizmos, my dvds and the internet truck, I'm pretty much set.

Oh, Rusty you ( cut for NSFW comment )

Yes, I have seen the season finale and all I can say is ( cut for spoilers )

Oh, Rusty you ( cut for NSFW comment )

Is it next week yet?

I try my best not to get sucked into stuff, and indeed my golden rule is usually that if I can't make it through the pilot episode then I'm pretty safe. However, there are a few shows that I'm borderline obsessive about and in relation to which that series of tubes known as the Interweb helps me sustain my habit.

These are the current ones:

ReGenesis - is it my imagination, or is David getting way less 'action' this season? Also, Bob angst! Eeee!
Boston Legal - Alan/Denny is love!
New Amsterdam - I think I am mesmerised by Nikolaj Whatsisname's oh-so-sharp-and-pointy nose, which helps me overlook the lack of chemistry between him and 'the one'
Eli Stone - I can't help myself, it's just so dumb and yet I am compelled
Dirt - I love Ian Hart. 'Nuff said.
30 Rock - never thought I'd like Alec Baldwin in something, but...

Stuff I'm desperately waiting for the new season (or, in the case of some channels, stupid second half-season) of:

Life - unexpectedly at the top of the list, after I got smitten last season
Psych - Shawn/Gus is love!
Burn Notice - even though I want to force-feed Gabrielle Anwar with the pies Bruce Campbell needs to stop eating
Blood Ties - shiny!
The Closer - another unexpected addition
Entourage - more shiny!
Dexter - no idea where a third season is going to go....
Heroes - hope they can pull it back together after the shambles they made of most of season 2

There's probably other stuff out there I'm obsessive over as well, but these are the main contenders at the moment... I'm still dling Numb3rs in the hope that one day I will summon up the enthusiasm to catch up with the 6 or so season 4 eps I'm behind on, but who knows when that might happen?

Apparently season 4 of ReGenesis will air from March 2nd on Canada's Movie Channel. :)

( Two minor things about Heroes now I'm all caught up... )

In other news, not like you care, the cold is definitely settling in for the long haul. Need more aspirin. *sigh*

I know I'm a nitpicky old bugger but... ( Spoilers for Blood Ties 2x05 )

Back from connotations. Well, I actually got back about 2pm on Monday but, you know... ;) BTW, if anyone who didn't go to the con is actually interested in my gen and pre-slash panel, let me know - no badfic panel this year, though I'm hoping it will make its triumphant return in 2008.

It seems as though every year I forget just how entertaining it was last time around and then get surprised all over again. Not that I should, really, when I consider the folks involved! Also I make resolutions about pimping something next year that never quite happen, though I did get roped in to help pimp Boston Legal last year, mainly because the person who was meant to be pimping it had only seen a handful of episodes and I'd made the mistake of admitting I'd seen everything that had aired to date. Perhaps the pimpage for 2008 needs to be Once a Thief, now obelix has kindly provided me with dvd-source and people can actually see how pretty Nick Lea is in it, rather than having to squint and imagine (like all the copies of copied videos previously available required you to do...).

Now I just have to catch up on all the stuff I've downloaded and haven't watched yet: Blood Ties (season premiere), Boston Legal (ep 4), Dexter (ep 3), Numb3rs (eps 2 and 3), Life (ep 3), Moonlight (ep 3), Pushing Daisies (ep 2), Criminal Minds (ep 3), Heroes (ep 4). Hmm, how did this happen?

Numb3rs: ( Spoilers for 'Trust Metrics' )

Moonlight: ( Spoilers for 'There's No Such Thing As Vampires' )

So far, returning show top marks goes to Heroes, followed by Boston Legal, though we still have the Dexter season premiere to come. New shows, it's Life by a long way at the moment...
