Dear TV gods,

You know I usually don't ask for much, and I am a good viewer, I watch for plot, and character development, and am not easily swayed by pretty faces and soulful eyes.

But please, please, please, grant me this one wish, and show Don Flack of CSI:NY fame without his shirt on. You are teasing me since the last season, with the wifebeater, and the raising of his shirt to show the badge, and the nicely opened top buttons of his white shirt lately, but you refuse to go all the way.

I do appreciate the gift that was Gary Sinise in a pool, I really do, but, Don Flack. Eddie Cahill. Shirtless. Can has?

Love,
Noelia.

God, I've waited whole day to for this, in the sense that I dloaded in the morning, but had to go run errands. But I've also waited the entire summer for this, because the other shows are all fun and pretty, but this is my show, this is the show I love beyond all else.

It's the little things, they always come back to bite you, Mac says, and it's the one sentence that sums up this season perfectly. The little things, the great things, the past always comes back, the consequences of your actions and inactions, the ripples coming from the smallest deeds, the cause and effect, always. Past doesn't stay buried. It waits to be stirred.

Season three is incredibly strong thematically and, as Mac also says, ( everything is connected. )

I've just finished rewatching season 1, and I think, for the very first time I actually watched it in order, with not a one episode missing, not a scene lost. I've started watching CSI:NY from the later half of season 2 (Fare Game, to be exact), and then made up for the first half, and the first season, out of order, the way I could find the episodes online.

And season 1 loses a lot, while watched out of order. Yes, this is a typical procedural, and therefore each episode stands very much on its own (apart from some longer arcs, but even then you don't get all that much confused). But season 1 is not only about plots and murders, no. Season one is very much about loss and grief and Mac Taylor.

(And I think that, even though I adore Flack the most, and regard him as my tv boyfriend, I love Mac so completely, I might be watching this series for him.)

A quick one, as I'm incredibly busy this weekend, having a social life. I know, I'm surprised too.

You know the drill. This is the show I love and squee about every week.

Polish people coming to UK for work must be quite noticeable, if we get a mention on Doctor Who, eh?

Part of me is thrilled. Part of me is slightly disappointed that we didn't get a Polish guy playing the character (the accent was dodgy, btw. More Russian than Polish, IMHO). Part of me is slightly annoyed that the natural assumption was that he must be working illegally.

But, mostly thrilled. Look, we're mentioned on Doctor Who. Hee.


In other news, Going Postal will be the next Discworld movie. David Tennant for Moist, y/y?


In other other news, I got sunburned. For those of you who met me, you know how unlikely that is, as I never sunbathe, and generally do a very good vampie impression, what with hiding in the shadows and snarling at the sun.

But yesterday I needed to escape people who came with visit, so I went into the garden and pretended the book I was reading was A Very Important Book For School(TM) (In fact: Fighting the Forces: What's at stake in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It mentions 'phalically named Spike' and 'a growing sexual tension between Giles and Buffy', so I'm a happy person because I am an easy person). And I started reading, and somehow didn't notice that I got more and more red as the time passed. For heaven's sake, it's April, the sunrays shouldn't be that strong.

Now I am red and itchy. Not yay. (And still have the slight food poisoning. Also not yay.)
