And because I've had this discussion before and it always pans out the same way.
Gee I wonder why...

grindie is the worst troll because he's proven himself to support the dumbest shit in the past so you never know what he's actually got an opinion about.

You have to admit though, it's funny seeing people take everything I say personally and have to fall back on personal insults.

But whatever. I'm not gonna start some spam fest. I'll shut up now.

i was unaware being a repetitive stupid anglophile for years despite long breaks with a penchant for engaging in the stupidest most meritless discussions ever in an attempt to somehow appear even slightly interesting in a topic where you've abandoned even the pretext of discussing the show was a personal insult rather an accurate statement of what's going on.

but w/e im too cool for this topic *spergs about hugh laurie and the mentalist*

I think he's English, so he's an unfocused nationalist more than an anglophile. Grindie you are horrible!

nah i think anglophile can apply to british people too. i mean i dont see why it couldn't and we've certainly got enough "twats" (heh juss a joke for u) around here who freak out over the word THEATRE. unfocused nationalism sounds meaner though, i'll use that. the unfocused part sells it well because you picture some chav guy wandering around going CHIPS KNACKERED THE LOO!!!

i can't remember if anyone's said this but i seriously think you could destroy all american perceptions of british english sounding intelligent by playing any episode of doctor who season 2 the reboot.

WOTS ALL THIS THEN OIM THE DOCTOR.

I've only seen a scene or two from this show (had to chance channel) but I liked it. Tim Roth was about to park his car when some git came and "stole" it right infront of him. So he decided to park and block that guys car instead... A little House-ish in terms of character there. Fun :)

honestly though on topic with the show it's actually not very good yet. like it has the whole CSI/House thing everyone's talking about, but there's almost no narrative movement forward other than a vague husband cheating plot and the sense that Lightman isn't telling everything he REALLY knows. another annoyance is they introduce a "street tough" obvious minority who is a "natural" and it's implied she got this way through a terrible crucible of domestic abuse and it's all vaguely insulting (as the idea that being beaten up makes you stronger always is), especially since apparently even Lightman, the head of the institute, isn't even a natural but this girl...heh she can beat him.

there are themes the show could go towards, and as a law buff I'd be more than a little interested in a narrative dealing with just how none of this can be accepted in court, but it's usually given the runaround in some Law and Order esque pressuring that makes me roll my eyes. he won't talk...bring the victim's father in here, he'll slip up.

there's also the aforementioned science stuff which I really think is why anyone keeps watching the show; we all want to pretend at least we're catching this stuff and can apply it. but too much is LAW AND ORDER garbage. I dunno I watch it on Hulu but it's not really something I could recommend and it's something I wake up on Thursday, think "what do I have to do today? nothing? oh there's that show" and I watch it to clear some mental cobwebs.

TV AS MORNING SUDOKU, basically.

I've got some shows like that. That's why I have been watching the likes of Dollhouse. When you're an unemployed student you've got a lot of free time on your hands.

I half-watched all the eps while I was working the other day. Pretty dull considering how interesting the science is on its own. A lot of the things they do aren't even microexpressions, they made them more explicit so the audience can think they're doing a good job. so welcome to lightman institute - we can see your happy cause your smilling.

haha yeah they CSI it all up. a microexpression is really like fucking subtle usually. but it's tv, you're not going to notice it unless it's all shiny and zoomed in and exaggerated. real FACs involves individual muscle analysis, less HMM THEY PUSHED FINGERS TOGETHER.
