So thanks to Netflix view instantly I've been having my own little In Plain Sight marathon. I haven't seen all of the episodes and I wanted to change that. I'm really glad that Netflix view instantly exists at times like these. So that I can just sit down and watch them without having to wait for the discs to come in the mail. Just saying.
I'm very much loving the relationship between Mary and Marshall. They're so close to each other, it's great. Although you'd have to classify it as brother and sister more than anything else. When Marshall got hurt, Mary was really scared and it was obvious that she really cares about Marshall. When Mary was abducted, Marshall looked like he was about to fall apart and he never looks like he's about to fall apart. Very obvious that he really cares about her. It's a fantastic relationship.
I really like the first season of In Plain Sight because we get to see Mary's emotional side. She's a lot more open and emotional in the first season, I think, than in the rest of the show. Maybe that's just me.
I really like Mary because she's a strong, independent woman but she has a feminine side and she doesn't really care what other people think. In my opinion, she's a great role model. Even given her crassness and her need to keep people at a distance, she's smart and funny and strong and isn't required to have a man in her life to be happy.
I also like Marshall because he's a smart guy. He has a mind full of useless facts and I love that. He's a little bit weird but in a kind of cool way and it's really obvious when he cares about someone. Even though he's not very externally emotional, you can just see it. And he's very protective of the people he cares about. Don't get in his way when someone he loves is hurt, because you will regret it. Watching Marshall interview the guy that kidnapped Mary. He looks calm and cool on the outside but just look into his eyes and you can see him visualizing the many different, horrible ways he wants to make this guy suffer for what he did.
The whole cast is amazing and they work well together. Even in the first season it's like they've been working together for years. The chemistry is perfect and the casting director did a great job.
That's all I can really say about the show. It's very well done and better than the original promos led anyone to believe. Everybody should watch it. But start from the beginning.

White Collar
I am really loving this episode of White Collar. Neal and Peter are back into their routine which is awesome. And I love it when Peter gets giddy over stuff.
I did love the conversation between Peter and Savannah about Neal's tracking anklet. That was pretty hilarious. "Are you his grandpa?"
And then when they figured out that it was a treasure map but Peter had a lunch with Elizabeth. Classic.
Elizabeth: "Do you want to grab some mirrors and go play with Neal?" Peter: "Yes."
He's like a little boy sometimes, it's so adorable.
I like seeing Danny Masterson again. He's pretty awesome.
Every single time that Neal and Elizabeth interact it makes me smile, it really does. She's usually on his side but she doesn't quite trust him completely. And I'm loving the look on her face when Neal asked if Satchmo was free. I like that they're not ignoring the dog like they usually do. Satchmo is awesome, just saying.
I tend to use that word a lot, especially in conjunction with this show. Because that's what it is. Awesome.
I like Neal talking to Gelles about getting away with crimes and being prepared to sleep with one eye open. That was very well done. Speaking from experience and all.
And Peter with the little girl again was adorable. I'd love to see Peter with his own kids, really.
I am liking that Neal managed to get information out of the agent from DC, but it was kind of sad how easily he did, though.
Over all the episode was really good and I'm looking forward to see Peter in glasses next week.

Franklin and Bash
I am really loving this show. Although the trailers for the series premier made it look completely ridiculous, it's pretty awesome.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar is very funny and still very good looking. I love how his character, Peter Bash, tries to be serious and adult while still having that immature streak that gets out every now and then. He really can play a jury like a violin and it's great. If he were a real person, I would totally hire Peter Bash. And it definitely doesn't hurt that I've had a crush on MP since his Saved by the Bell days.
Breckin Meyer is hilarious as well. And he's just all around adorable. He doesn't really try to be serious and adult, he just embraces his immature side. It totally works for him, though. I think Jared Franklin would be far less interesting if he wasn't the loveable, immature person that he is. Although sometimes he doesn't know when to be quiet.
I have to say that I'm a bit surprised with some of the things that they're getting away with on this show. Dicks, dickwad, pussy, bullshit, and MP's naked ass. Although I certainly don't have a complaint about that last one. ;-)
Malcolm McDowell is always awesome. That's just all there is to it. I love the eccentricity of his character. He's a great lawyer, and he's a bit crazy. That's all I can say.
I'm really fond of some of the guest stars that are popping up on the show. Great people.
Kathy Nijimy
Gates McFadden (as yet unaired episode)
Fred Willard
Those are the ones I can think of right now anyway. Everyone on the show does a really good job and they work well together. I especially love Dana Davis and Kumail Nanjiani. They're very good. I wish I could come up with a better way of saying it.
Reed Diamond is very good at being annoying and stuck up. Everything he plays, he's always getting on my nerves. He just picks those kinds of characters and he does it very well. I don't know if that's a compliment or not.
Over all I highly recommend this show. Only two episodes in and I'm loving it. That's very rare these days. Usually takes at least three or four episodes to get me hooked.

Dr Who: The Almost People
This week's episode, which is one week behind England thanks to Memorial Day, is the second half of the episode from two weeks ago The Rebel Flesh.
It's a pretty interesting episode. The ganger Doctor having to deal with all of the past regenerations was pretty awesome. Got a special kick out of hearing Tom Baker's voice come out of Matt Smith's mouth. The captioning even said (As the 4th doctor) which was kind of awesome.
I think this episode is showing what a lot of the problem with the world is. The problems between the people and the gangers is a lack of understanding. Having two Matt Smiths is pretty interesting, and kind of weird.
I like seeing Rory as a kind of a hero. He's definitely much more useful in these two episodes than he has been in the past. And he's a bit more useful than Mickey was. I really like Rory and I hate that they keep killing him. I'm sure I've said it before but Rory is to Dr Who what Kenny is to South Park. At least that's how it seems. Rory is a protector in this one. Something that Amy doesn't really let him be. She's too independent and strong for him to really be her protector. This time around he's being given that chance.
So many of the problems in this episode would be solved if the humans would just see the gangers as people. It seems to be speaking on racism when it comes down to it. They don't want to believe that the gangers are just like them so they're treating them as lesser beings. Sounds very familiar.
The eyes in the wall was pretty weird looking. That's all I have to say about that bit.
"An hour....five seconds.....somewhere in between." That's a great line, really. Very funny.
Roranicus Pondicus. I love that one too. Lots of good lines for the Doctor.
And poor Rory got tricked by the gangers.
This is all very interesting and confusing. I am liking that the ganger Doctor is acting just like the real Doctor. They are identical in almost every way. It's pretty amazing.
"You're twice the man I thought you were." That's a pretty epic line right there.
And in regard to the ending.......what the hell? That's all I can say. What the hell?

ARLINGTON not Dallas.
The following rant was inspired by the season finale of Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior. I know it aired last week but I am just now getting around to watching it. Here's my problem.
They talk about this serial killer being in Dallas, Texas and then the next thing we know, they're talking about one of the victims being shot just outside Cowboys Stadium. Here's the thing. COWBOYS STADIUM IS NOT IN DALLAS! It's in ARLINGTON!
The Superbowl was said to be in Dallas, Texas. NOPE! IT WAS IN ARLINGTON!
Comedians come to Arlington Improv all the time and talk about how great it is to be in Dallas. WRONG AGAIN! YOU'RE IN ARLINGTON!
I wouldn't be so upset about this except that we're not even in Dallas County! We're in Tarrant County! We're closer to Ft Worth than we are to Dallas.
With over 360,000 people, why is it so hard to acknowledge that Arlington, Texas actually exists. I mean, if the Texas Rangers can call the Ballpark the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, how hard would it be for it to be Cowboys Stadium in Arlington? Oh wait, IT IS! ARLINGTON IS IN THE NAME OF THE STADIUM!
Yes, I know that Dallas, Texas is a city that everybody knows about. You say Dallas and everybody automatically knows where that is. But if they can track down serial killers in tiny little podunk towns that nobody's ever heard of and list that town name, why can't they acknowledge a city that at one time held the busiest intersection in the country? It probably still is? Why can't they say "Arlington, Texas" when they're talking about things that happened here?
We are the 7th largest city in the entire state of Texas and the 50th largest city in the country. With a population of 365,438 people and 99.7 square miles of land. We house Six Flags Over Texas which was the very first Six Flags park ever. We have the Texas Rangers and now the Dallas Cowboys. Though Arlington was officially founded in 1878 people have been living here since 1841. That's older than the state of Texas itself.
With 50 Elementary Schools, 12 Jr High Schools and 6 High Schools, would it really be all that hard to say something was in Arlington rather than in Dallas? I mean, really?
Arlington deserves better than what it's getting is all I'm saying.

Bridesmaids
I know I've said a couple of times that this movie is really good (on twitter) but I want to give my honest opinion of the movie.
Most of the characters were funny. Matt Lucas was adorable, even with his limited appearance in the movie. Wendi McLendon-Covey was also amazing. She made me laugh a lot, especially in the scene on the airplane with Ellie Klemper. She delivered her lines well and her timing was great. Melissa McCarthy was amazing. Absolutely hilarious and wonderful. Of course I love her as Molly on Mike and Molly on CBS. It's a great show and she's fantastic. Chris O'Dowd was very adorable and great. Maya Rudolph was pretty cute too.
Here's the harshness. I felt like there was a lot of the movie that was made up of unfinished sentences. I could have done without the food poisoning scene in the bathroom. That was a bit uncalled for, even if the whole audience laughed. All of the passive aggressive arguments between Annie and Helen could have been a lot shorter than they were. I got bored very easily with them. I understand the need for the situations, because it needed to lead to Helen taking over as the matron of honor, but they were way too long. What it all comes down to is that I really don't think Kristen Wiig was all that funny. And Jill Clayburgh as her mother was annoying.
Bits and pieces were really funny but over all as a whole I didn't think it was all that great. But that is just my opinion. I would say go see the movie and decide what you think. Don't just take my word for it.
