deathisyourart, interview w/ damien lewis about Life. Apparently there will be 4 shows in the next four weeks!!! Keep your eyes on the tv guide (and no, I haven't watched last night's ep yet).
In other life-y news, namely mine, chickpeas are indeed a legume, boys and girls. The reaction was mild and mostly just uncomfortable making for a few days, but it was there, thank you very much. And my stomach is much happier now that I haven't eaten any hummus for two days.
Secondly, I get to dive back into fandom for the rest of the week as B has vacated the premises to go visit some friends, go see his parents, and go to a job fair. It was surreal coming back to an empty apartment with no meal or bread cooked and waiting for me. :( But I get to watch my shows without any hindrance (I really should send him tosixersfan's "how to live w/ a fangirl" wiki). He doesn't like the cliches of most of my scifi shows, and can't suspend disbelief long enough to watch most of the rest of the shows I watch. He's half convinced that I watch because of the boys rather than because of the characters and I haven't been able to verbalize that while the pretty is nice, if the character isn't well written and acted, I can't take it (exhibit A: the law and order franchise for the last three years).
And I just rewatched the Unit premiere (watched sunday while half watching Bros and Sisters and wow, don't know if I'll keep that up esp since it makes B vomit) and \0/ MY SHOW IS BACK!!!! I loathed much of last season horribly, and the writers hurt me badly in one of the few well done shows from it, but this was The Unit I know and love. And payoff finally from the s1 plot device that had been pushed into the background mostly. I pretty much love the mary sue character that joined the boys. Let's face it, that's pretty much what she probably is. But I like how they didn't just immediately send her out in the field - a) despite all her years in the military, she didn't go through selection or the post-selection training to become part of the cohesive group. b) I'm sure the boys feel a bit better knowing there's someone relatively trustworthy and experienced looking over their families (and really writers, don't go w/ the obvious and make her be a double agent).
Mac finding the picture!!!!!!!!!!!!! The explosion was a little less than I'd imagined, but still!! The way Tiffy was on the bus, I wonder if Mac got time w/ her before she got there. Not that I imagine the boys would have let that happen unsupervised at this point in time.
So much love for this ep -- far and away better than the last season premiere.
All of this leads me to hope that CBS doesn't have too much else lined up for replacements giving that they've put it on opposite of sunday night football!!!!! *hugs on show*

I'm very sorry sweety, but it is time for you to part ways with that young man; he just isn't right for you. *makes sad yet resolved face*
