1. So I was going to formally boycott The Mentalist, on account of how it was clearly a rip-off of Psych only less awesome and with your typical Traumatized Hero With Dead Wife And/Or Child. Even the couple of times Mom's watched it, I have determinedly ignored it and focused on my typing.
And then we watched it last night in the hotel room, on account of how we were bored and couldn't move in yet and there was nothing else on.
And yeah, it's pretty much a serious version of Psych. And Thomas Jane is pretty well in the vein of the aforementioned Traumatized Hero, though he's a bit more visibly disfunctional. And...
...and...
...and Simon Baker is really pretty. I mean, damn, his hair. And his gorgeous eyes. And his business suits and his slim, nippable neck and his hair.
I have no principles at all.
2. I am in fact watching Psych right now and Gus just bruised his coccyx. I should not think of this as a Doctor Who reference, but I do. Also, really, go watch Psych, it's an amazing show and so sharply written.
3. So. So. Brig/Leela would be an excellent idea, y/y?
I am thinking that the Brig could summon the Doctor back for another mission sometime after The Face of Evil, so Leela comes along with him and gets somewhat informally introduced to UNIT. She is alternately intrigued by the Brig's gentlemanly solicitousness an unimpressed when he tries to give her orders. Tension happens.
Alternately I want them to wrestle.
And now I must go to bed, as move-in happens tomorrow morning.
