Wow. Just wow.

So, yes, the show I was remembering being told to watch *was* Leverage - bonus points to everybody who told me to watch it and/or told me that's what people told me to watch.

Because it is freaking *amazing* and hits oh, 90% of my kinks. I mean, hello - ENSEMBLE team that's actual ensemble cast, not the 'oh, it's a group but we only care about the 'lead'' sorta ensemble. And it's THIEVES AND CON ARTISTS working outside the law but for justice, hello, how awesome is that?!

And it's just fantastic and I watched, um, all existing seven episodes on Saturday.

I was sorta up until 2am because I watched the first few and then had to meet people for dinner and then drinks and got home at a little past 11 and was like "just one more before bed" and "just one more before bed" turned into 4 more episodes.

So SO SO SO good. Of course, on Sunday morning at 6am the cat was like "omg, omg, you are going to be late for work and if you're late for work, how will you KITTENS GET FED?!"

He doesn't believe in weekends. And he would not stop, ever, ever, ever. So at 7:30 I gave up and went downstairs to sleep on the sofa until oh, TEN AM. I never sleep that late but then I don't usually go to bed at 8am! And them I ended up spending most of Sunday evening catching up on old episodes of Criminal Minds because apparently when I break the seal of not watching tv for 4 months, I break it HARD. I blame my mom for making me watch House Hunters all last weekend.

Also, watching like 7 back-to-back episodes of Criminal Minds means that when you go to bed at midnight, you're pretty sure somebody's gonna break into your house and murder you dead.

They didn't. But there's always tonight.

HI darlings, I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I know I did!

I *cannot* watch this show. It goes straight to my lizard brain with an electrified needle, and presses. Hard. I'm sure it's brilliant, smart people keep telling me so. But it's not worth feeling that way... Bah. Vivid imagination, I guess!

Dear God, Swmbo, we almost literally had the exact same weekend. (Substitute "daughter" for "cat," and attribute "Criminal Minds" to best friend instead of self, and...yeah. Eerily identical!)

Isn't "Leverage" the BESTEST THING EVER? Also, "Leverage"/"Criminal Minds" crossover fic would be awesome, y/n?

Leverage is my new squee. It makes me SO HAPPY. Plus, on top of the original 13 shows, TNT has now ordered 6 more, which makes the first "season", which was only supposed to be half a season, 19 shows. (!!!!!)

One of the reasons why the show is written so well: they brought the writers in EARLY -- about 2 months before shooting -- so all the scripts were written *together*. Hello continuity!

And I'm so glad you remembered to watch and that you like it!

I watched the first half of a British miniseries about zombies last night (really well done and tense and scary!), and then inexplicably had a loooong dream where I got mixed up with the mob and was holed up in some stranger's house with seven other people having a fake dinner party so the mobsters who were watching us wouldn't know that we knew that they were after us. It was very confusing and scary but also slapstick and caperish - I even hotwired a minivan at one point! I woke up this morning with lingering dream fear and when I went downstairs I realized I'd left my keys in the front door all day yesterday and overnight! Home security, yay!

HI SWMBO.

Oh my god, really??? I feel like I saw someone on my flist say how bad it was, and so ended up shrugging it off sadly, because it sounded like a cool show.

Ensemble, you say? Thieves and con artists? *wibbles*

I haven't watched "Leverage" except in passing (and CK should really get a haircut) but I love "House Hunters". 8 ]
