tenayaFirst, when I went to work on Sunday, T was there. I said hi to all as I breezed through, glanced at T and thought she looks ready to burst into tears. I took my work load and retreated to the NICU where I was pleasantly busy for the first half of the shift. Later, I went down to the dept to socialize. T was there, not looking tearful and we participated in the conversation without trouble. When they were all talking about wanting Superbowl Sunday off, I mentioned I only watched for the commercials. T looked at the schedule and asked if I was willing to work for her on that day. Huh. I'm not opposed to that but when I looked at the schedule, they are terribly understaffed on that day. If I do it, I'd have to carry the ER beeper, the NICU backup beeper and have responsibility for all the treatments in the non critical areas unless they get in some registry people (which I think is unlikely because it's Superbowl Sunday.) I'd be friggin' foaming at the mouth crazy to volunteer to take that on!
I told T I'd think about it.
Meanwhile, Dexter!I'd figured out that Rudy *had* to have been at the murder site to have known an electric chainsaw was used, and I figured the tale he told about his mom dying in a car accident might have meant...well, I should have figured out that Dex's mom was also Rudy's mom and he was sitting next to Dex during the murder but I just couldn't make that leap. I didn't really believe that Dex would help carve up his sister, but I was floored that Dexter disposed of Rudy like he did all other serial killers. I should have seen it coming but didn't. And if Rita does eventually believe that Dexter hit her ex on the head and framed him, is there any other response than her saying "thank you" to Dexter? She was about to lose her kids! And I'm thrilled that the black cop is watching Dexter closely. I like them both so that their conflict is thrilling and interesting. It's wonderful that there will be another season. I'm debating whether I want to read all the books now or wait until after I've seen all the dramatizations years from now.
Nip/Tuck: I watch this show for the titillation factor and have long since required characterization continuity. I'm not sure how the change to Hollywood will work out as I've liked the flavor that Miami? South Beach? has brought to the show. For as far as they've taken these characters down warped roads, I find it funny that their 'ender' has everyone semi-normal. I've regretted that they made Kimber into a bitch but now she and Matt have a happy stable home (maybe I need to wear a neck brace so I don't get whiplash while I'm watching this show.) I can't say I'm unhappy that Julia and the daughter have left the premises (I'm just glad I don't have to see the daughter get f*cked up to provide plot complications.) I suppose it might be realistic that Michelle and Christian would agree to split, but what happened to Wilbur? Did I miss that?
SGA: The Game. Another enjoyable episode. I loved the interaction of Sheppard and McKay through the game, that they'd been playing for years, that McKay enjoyed improving the society of his country (though I groaned when he had the Carter look for a fashion ideal. I know it's canon but I'm so sick of Sam Adoration. It's become a reflex for me now, unfortunately.) But, yet again, Sheppard doesn't come off too well. He doubles the Army? It's a bit cliché for that to be a military man's instinct but I'd hoped for more from him, something that hinted at some depth or subtly in his personality. And also, sending citrus to Rodney's country? I don't know if Rodney really is allergic to citrus but it's funny but not funny if you know what I mean. It's funny for the viewer because Rodney gets all offended, but the reality is that a friend wouldn't do something like that. There's a co-worker who is severely allergic to milk products and people are quite protective of her. Anyway, it's strange but I grow more cool towards the character of Sheppard. Thank god he is better in the fanfic.
I now have the last two Torchwoods to watch. Maybe later tonight. Please, someone write and tell me they aren't Gwen heavy.
