geebsCreepy not all that obtuse comment of the day: Do you know what really grinds my gears? When iafd says a scene contains something, and the company's website even lists it in that category, but it does not contain such things! bbv('This is total BS!') Also, if you already have this, and you already have that, why not just take it the little step further?! Particularly if there's that many folks. Its like, what's the other person supposed to do, stand there like an idiot?! Well, okay, they don't just stand there doing nothing, obviously there's things that can be done. But its like being at a bank, and you have two folks taking turns at one window and a third at the other, when there's like a window not being used, when it was used earlier! I mean, if that window was just closed altogether, then its understandable. But if there's no problem using any of the windows, or using the first one and the second, or the first and the third, why not the second and the third simultaneously?
Actually, I guess the analogy would be more, a bank with 5 windows, 3 with good tellers, and 2 with okay tellers. And you have one person at one of the good teller windows, but then another two taking turns between another good teller and an okay teller, instead of using the last good teller, which was earlier shown to be open for business! Or rather, using that last good teller, but never at the same time as the other good teller. Ooh, I can continue to use the bank analogy for my other pet peeves. Like BBs really piss me off, because its like you have three bank windows, one that is the most commonly used, one that is the second most commonly used, and one that is only sometimes used. And its just a bunch of people using the second most commonly used one! Its like sure, don't use the rarely used one, that's totally fine. But not using the "normal" one?! That does not make cents! That's not a good scene, that's the beginning of a good scene, in my book.
Also, when you have a couple of people using the normal window at the same time, and never touching the rarely used window. 1) That's freaking weird! and 2) surely that's less comfortable or at least equally uncomfortable as having someone at the normal window and the rarely used window at the same time. Then again, the normal window is designed to accommodate big things. Well, going out, but it should work the other way.
TV commentary:
Burn Notice- Sad ep of Burn Notice! Though the commercial did say something was going to happen. And it makes cents it was Nate. I mean, they weren't going to kill Michael obviously, nor Sam, Fi, Jess, or Maddy. Rebecca and Dr. Cox weren't in the ep, and Barry wasn't involved in the Michael plot. And the commercials spoiled it wasn't Pierce, because they showed Jess and her in the background looking for what seemed to be a sniper who just shot someone Michael knew and was running towards.
Honestly, Nate's fate was sealed when Michael browbeat him for being a screw up and sent him away. Michael's going to feel totally guilty at that. And I wonder what Madeline's reaction to all this will be. I mean, we saw him tell her, but will she blame Michael for dragging his brother in this? Will she be cool towards Fi since technically Nate died on a mission to help get Fi out of jail?
I'm curious where the sniper shot came from. I mean, it was obviously something as big as a .50 cal (given it went through Anson, Nate, and a thick sign). But did they shoot through Nate to kill Anson? Or did they shoot Anson, and it being a .50 cal since Nate was behind him he was toast too?
Also, it was kinda weird that Nate was able to capture Anson to begin with. I mean, he has no badge, he's just some random guy! Anson could've just yelled "help, there's this crazy guy pointing a gun at me!" and security would've rushed Nate and Anson could've gotten away in the chaos. But Nate was able to hold him in front of the hotel with a gun pointed at him while waiting for Michael and the CIA to get there, and no one asked any questions?!
Suits- Wasn't Mike concerned giving Harvey the recorder would blow back on Rachel? I mean, he realized Louis turned on him after hearing the recording. So he knows Louis is quick to go on the offensive after a betrayal. And he would know that Louis would figure out Harvey got the recording from Mike who got it from Rachel. And maybe Louis is freaking about Harvey having something on him, but wouldn't as usual he assume Rachel and Mike were laughing at him behind his back and that she betrayed him to Mike?
