stillaneOh Great and Powerful Television Gods? You're officially starting to freak me out with your omniscience. Say, for the last week or so, where you've been systematically playing out the hurt/comfort scenarios of my choice. Seriously. Freaky.
Evidence:
On Studio 60 (and yes, I've been watching it; I've never seen the Sorkin before, which also seems to explain why I'm enjoying it), Matt was in potentially career-ending trouble, and Danny did not take kindly to it. At all.
On NCIS, Tony got thumped up alongside the head, and Gibbs freaked out. In a very Gibbs way. That checking of the eyes thing made me all warm and fuzzy. I'm all about the little things. (Easily amused, that's me.)
On CSI, Greg got whacked around, and Nick got pissed. Like, clenchy-jawed, roughing-up-assholes kind of pissed. (Which I will use to back up my claim that the whole 'Nick is so out of control, look at him intimidate that murder suspect' argument from the Gum Drops era was stupid. It isn't at all out of character for Nick to go Old Testament, provided there is sufficient motivation. Pain inflicted on small children and Greg are sufficient motivation. I am all kinds of tickled that this is canon.)
On Supernatural, Sam and Dean both got pissed. Well, sort of. More Sam got conflicted, Dean got pissed, and Sam got (more) worried. Last season, I asked for them to someday meet nice monsters, so that I could see Dean's mind go to the Blue Screen of Death. And then they did. Glee. [Incidentally, when I said last week that it would be neat for them to have a big old cathartic sparring session? I was being silly. This was so much cooler. (This is not to say that I still won't write the less cool idea; there's a way that I think it would fit, but not yet. As usual, I reserve the right to be a moron. Also, I may yet be back to give the episode it's own post, because eeeeee. Back in Black. Heh.)]
Most recently, on Numb3rs, Colby walked into a chop-shop full of armed badies, and David flipped out competently. And then Colby wound up held at gunpoint by one of said badies, and David flipped out a little more. And then Colby got stupid - with reason, of course, but still - and David went to the same pleading, worried place he did at the end of last season with the shooting inquiry. Scattered somewhere in the middle, they did that back-to-back desks thing that's unreasonably cute, too. This? This is why they make this show rock, for me.
Other reasons this TV week has ruled:
Supernatural's Bobby has been everywhere. The only place he wasn't, in fact, was on Supernatural. Go figure.
Paul Ben Victor has also been everywhere. Okay, so strictly speaking that's been over the last two weeks, but still. I've seen him at least three times thus far. Go, BobbyHobbes.
Anybody got other happy-making observations?

I just hope he brings his badass hat with him.
I seem to recall a photo with a very similar piece of headgear... Tell the truth. You're secretly Gordon, aren't you?
As far as that other stuff:
1. Yes, although not enough. I've only managed a few eps thus far, but they have been glorious ones. Predictably, I like Nate, despite the fact that he's an ass. Maybe only because he knows he's an ass. I like David, despite the fact that he's holding himself in such tight check that he's almost bleeding. I want to like Claire, and think I'll get there. Kevin wins for sheer coolness.
2. And you have. *g*

1. And those are pretty much my exact thoughts about Nate. He remains an ass, but it's in an identifiable, fully-aware sort of way. David... he loosens up a bit. Which is really fun to watch. Claire... by the end of it, she's pretty likable. But she makes it hard.
and 2. *blinks*
