Dreamed Saffron Burrows wanted me to give up meat. I was trying to explain that I'm already a vegetarian, but she wouldn't listen. Woman is tall, guys. Srsly.

Five has this long-running tradition of running two crime shows side-by-side; it started when they bought CSI and L&O, and went on as they paired up variations of each show. Then they bought NCIS a couple of years ago, and now they also have Numb3rs. The way it works is: a show-duet runs from February through July, non-stop, and then another pair run from September through December. The repeats air in whichever half of the year the originals aren't playing. (So: CSI and L&O will run February through July and then repeat the rest of the year.)

The only reason I am thrown by this is: all the new seasons are premiering this week. NCIS and Numb3rs S5 started yesterday (with the NCIS episode apparently repeating tonight, instead of the usual double-bill repeats from earlier seasons ;that's a move that makes no sense to me); CSI:NY S5 and L&O S15 starts tonight; and CSI season 9 starts on Tuesday. (Crime nights are: Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays; in that mix five will show various CSIs, L&Os and NCIS; they're adding Numb3rs to that mix now, too.)

I am only talking about this because of the buck in trend. I am aware that no-one that isn't me gives a damn.

I may go back to watching television on the television. I find that I prefer watching CSI that way (the trails for which, by the way, have me totally excited for Tuesday) and I think I might watch CSI:NY that way, too, as I still haven't worked my way around to watching the latest episode of that. I just hope that I don't get sucked back into watching Numb3rs, heh; I tend to sit and watch through to the L&O repeat with my knitting on hand, though I didn't sit through it last night.

I'm also massively tempted to watch NCIS again tonight, despite only having watched it last night. OH SHOW.

I have actual work to do this weekend, huzz. Whilst I was at the centre on Friday, a fair few people came in and signed up for courses and one of them is starting an intro to email course which comes with a booklet. The thing is, the booklet that we've got only deals with one email interface (Yahoo Mail) and so I'm going to sort out equivalents for Hotmail and Gmail. Because I can.

The other thing we're working on is trying to sort out on-line 'seminars'/tutorials. Boss Lady seems quite excited about this but she loses focus very easily so I am less excited. Either way, I need to read The Mother's CLAiT textbook this weekend. Huzz?

Apparently no-one else liked this week's NCIS? I enjoyed it. Self-contained, a-to-b narrative, a couple of gags and a satisfyingly pat ending. Not the best episode we've had, but nothing terrible about it.

I have recently discovered that there are people who hate McGee, which I don't understand in the least. Being indifferent towards him, sure, that I can get, but hating him? What? What?

I liked the NCIS ep too, I just haven't had the time to write anything about it yet. McGee is awesome! <3 *sadly has no McGee icon, something that needs to be remedied right away*

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

I love your icon - specifically I love that it has Fornell's blurry face in it, lols. (I love Abby anyway.)

I read a couple of reactions this week that were not of yay. What is this?! lols.

[denorios.livejournal.com]

I...don't love McGee, not the way I love Abby and Gibbs, but I like him enough, and I thought it was a good ep this week. I don't get hating him.

[wliberation.livejournal.com]

Wait, wait. This work thing you're doing, is it still the volunteering thing or...? *is completely out of the loop, sorry!*

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

lols, no, you're not out of the loop at all; still volunteering. But if the thing Boss Lady is working on bears fruit, it might become a Real Job. Doubt it though.

[loki-dip.livejournal.com]

There's new NCIS? Oops. I clearly fail at catching it.

Who can hate McGee? He's a dork, and sometimes I want to slap him, but normally he's fine. NO HATING!

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Hee. It is a kindly episode. Well. That's what I thought, anyhow.

[curly-the-sue.livejournal.com]

How can anyone possibly hate McGee? He's not my favorite, but he's too lovely and sweet to be hated... like a puppy... ;D
I liked this weeks episode, but not as much as most of the others this season. I actually don't know why but somehow it dragged along a bit. Nothing too bad. The only thing I really hated about this episode was the part with the movie, which was stolen from Supernatural. Not very creative, guys. xD

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

I know, right? But then, I don't really understand character hate for the most part.

...movie?

[curly-the-sue.livejournal.com]

Well, I can understand character hate, but not on a character like this. xD

Yes, the very beginning, where they were shooting the movie or whatsoever.

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Mind boggling.

Oh, that. Heh. That's been used in a fair few shows.

[curly-the-sue.livejournal.com]

True, but it was almost identical, which just makes me want to slap these writers.xD

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

...just turned on my phone. I LOVE THAT EPISODE. May watch tonight's repeat :)

No, I was talking about the latest episode to air in the US.

[fizzawrites.livejournal.com]

But he's ... MCGEE? There is nothing strong to hate in him! Just let him write his (supposedly wildly popular?) Mary Sue fic and be slight awkward around everyone!

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Ikr? Live and let... etc.

I don't really understand what there is in him to hate? So.

[emmademarais.livejournal.com]

I just hope that I don't get sucked back into watching Numb3rs

/cries/

But you might actually *like* Arrow of Time. It was very cinematic. People are calling it lyrical. Srsly

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Shrug. I'm not sure one episode is worth a season of etc.

[asemic.livejournal.com]

Wait until L&O seasons 18 and 19. They are a true return to form. I dunno, I just have to pimp it out.

I really have nothing else to add.

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

So... in about 5 years? lol. We're pretty behind here.

[asemic.livejournal.com]

LOL. Okay. Just keep knitting to the show then.
