I feel pretty ooky today, like I am getting or trying to get some sort of cold or flu or something. Sad. BUT! I'm not doing anything so I might as well post to LJ.

My eyesight has improved since I have been taking Adderall. What the hell. I remember when I realized that I would need reading glasses in addition to the glasses I've worn since

Chase is so aptly named. I am enjoying the hell out of it, also the new Nikita. Also for some strange reason, Haven, which has to be the stupidest show. It's driving me crazy that there are two episodes left that don't seem likely to air. Please let me see them, "sy" "fy"! I watched that episode of L&O: LA you mentioned and it was good to see the rich guy get it. I missed the DOINK DOINK, though. No doink-doink in this one. ANYHOO. No one can pull off the tired one-liners like Jerry Orbach used to (and possibly Belzer still does? Haven't seen SVU in years). Hi Liz!

Hi Cleo! See if you can get some L&O:UK, it has the DOINK DOINK and BSG's Lee Adama. Plus every inch of London is on closed-curcuit TV practically so there's that, half the time they have a tape of the crime. Also the guy who isn't Adama seems to be an English version of Belzer/Orbach and I find him quite charming. Oh, and lots of the women on the show are agreeably horse-faced, to put it bluntly, which is very refreshing.

Have you been watching Boardwalk Empire by any chance? Gretchen Mol is in it as an aging beauty and she is just radiantly beautiful.

I saw an episode of the UK L&O a while back and was freaked out by the Bamber. But British casting is refreshing, I agree. I'm glad you like Luther, have you gotten to the face-licker episode yet? I have a few episodes of Boardwalk but haven't watched them yet. Actually I started the first one and when there was no Omar right away I decided to watch it some other time. Although I do like Michael Pitt and was intrigued by him lying in the road. There is a new Canadian series (Shattered) that stars Callum Keith Rennie that I was looking forward to but I watched the first one and it was so bad that I'm afraid to watch the rest of what I have. I'm hoping it gets better. I think I have the Sherlock but I haven't watched it yet. The end. I think.

OMG, when I picked "pot" as the picture I thought it was going to be a pot leaf. Huh. I need to refresh myself on my user pics.

I have only seen one ep of Luther; and I don't like the actress who plays his nemesis but I just loved it, I don't know why -- although I am inclined to credit Idris because he is just marvelous and has so much charisma imho.

Omar doesn't show up in BE for, like, what seems forever. And it starts very slow in my opinion, but look out after that, it's a roller coaster and as I spoiled kind of, Omar has the greatest moment in the whole series so far, due entirely to his reading of that line.

I do like Michael Pitt too but until now he's never been in a movie or anything that I really liked. I think he's so handsome in this, and well-suited to the role etc., etc.

I like that pot! I have one just like it, although not the lid.

I agree it's Idris who makes the show. Otherwise it would just be another over-the-top British cop show. It's a bit ridiculous how much furniture he destroys while yelling ZOE! but what can you do. Have you seen him in The Big C? Race fails all around, but again, he is just incredible.

Do you think cities in the US will start having cameras all over the gd place like they do in London?
