Apropos of nothing, but one extremely minor thing in this episode reminded me of something that permissionslip and I used to obsess about when I visited her in London Town: WHY DO Y'ALL LIKE YOUR SANDWICHES IN TRIANGULAR PACKAGING? Honestly? I thought it was a Pret-a-Manger thing. And then I realized it was everywhere in London. And it's always the same four/ ( Read more... )

re: sandwiches, takes up less space; they fit neatly onto the shelves whilst also allowing you to see the contents; triangles are supposedly more aesthetically pleasing than squares? (No, but really.) /diatribe of a store keeper's daughter ( ... )

AHHHH!!! I knew she looked familiar (re: Doctor Who), but I kept trying to place her in Spooks canon (lol, ~the irony~) that I forgot about my other source of British actor faces.

I can't really notice the Bamber's wonky accent too much, but that's probably due to the fact that it's still a bit of a culture shock to hear it in the first place. It's a good thing, though, that this airs in fair proximity to BSG, because otherwise it would be a lot like the awful six-month period where I had to learn to switch between Mac and PC keyboard shortcuts without looking stupid. Um, yes.

in case the wigs scare them: true story
YOU GUYS HAVE THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING. First, handy triangular sandwiches, and now this. Also, I can so see a wigged lawyer being utterly terrifying.

Do you know of any good Connie/Mike fic? I've had to resort to wading through fanfic.net...

The Mike & Connie show wasn't supposed to come back to the schedule until January, but NBC tanked so hard on Wednesday, they brought it back early (November, I believe). :/ Hence, the three weeks of reruns. :x

Yeah, I mean, it makes sense, between that and the delayed sweeps period, but wahhh I'm just cranky that for the last few weeks, only one show (maybe two) have been new. *renews hope for campaign-event-required formal wear*

I actually watched them this weekend and thought of you! Although, didn't SVU reuse the SuperBully!Kid plot with two other kids who raped the lady who grew medicinal marijuana for her cancer buddies? Because that's the one that's more familiar and I was all "...wait, PLEASE DON'T MAKE THIS LO:UK:SVU. I can only take so much crazy."

In other news, is it wrong that I'm adoring The Bamber's partner? He's so fun. And The Bamber's Benjamin Bratt impersonation was kind of hysterical.

I'm coming late to this party, since I only saw the episode this morning.

a) The Bamber and Freema are adorable and Bradley Walsh cracks me up.

b) UK courts don't really rely on foreign cases as binding precedents, but they do consider them to be persuasive precedents. Basically it means that though the court isn't obliged to follow them, they're likely to do so unless the opposing counsel can make a really good argument as to why they shouldn't.
