hee! Exactly!
And yay, thank you for linking to that Homicide post! I was never around for the fandom part of it, but God, I loved it so much.
*nod nod*
It was great to revisit it. I need to do a rewatch. Night of the Dead Living! A Many Splendored Thing! Every Mother's Son! Man, how so awesome, show? How so awesome?!
so it was totally a moment of, hey, who's that nerdily distinguished OMG, OMG HI BAYLISS
I was like, "HI TIMMEH HI!" And then I thought of Jake Kane as well, and missed the first season of Veronica Mars for a moment. *g*

i did indeed squee when i saw kyle secor's name on white collar. and then my first reaction to actually seeing him was "bayliss! what's up with your hair?" >.< but i really enjoyed seeing him on my tv screen again. and i lovelovelove that neal admitted to peter that peter's the only person he trusts, even if he had to be drugged to do it. and peter worries about him! (with good reason....) and el thinks the idea of peter flirting with anyone is really funny. i love how she coached him on the phone. they're my very favoritest married tv couple.

YESSSS! I like them a lot. I approve of good committed relationships on tv that are still interesting to watch because soooo many shows just have the on/off again couples and drama and like... variety please. And I love their dynamic - they seem fairly equal, unlike lots of tv marriages where one spouse is totally incompetent and the other is so awesome you wonder why they stick with that first loser (see: basically every sitcom ever).

There are really SO FEW stable married couples on tv! It's astonishing. For something that's such a big art of most people's lives, you'd think it would be represented more on screen.
