i had similar problems with how the procedures in that scene were handled. i'm no expert, but i've watched a lot of cop shows in my time.

oh, and also…
Timothy Olyphant isn't a "regular" on Justified. he's the STAR of Justified.

tonight in TMI news…
….Timothy Olyphant gives me the feelings. you know, DownThere.

um.
so that happened. wow.

oh, and also…
…"Lumen"? on the reals, WTF?

when this show first appeared…
…on the radar however many years ago, i thought, "not for me." i mean, i love me some dark, violent shit, don't get me wrong (Reservoir Dogs was my favorite movie for years, and is still #2), but i though "a serial killer protagonist?" that's kinda not cool.

@tadpod: Jon Hamm- nice. my cutout would be of Timothy Olyphant. and we'd go for Chinese.

oh! and…
…. according to the photographic evidence we have at this time, apparently Val & her sister were the two most adorable little girls who have ever lived.

my five cents
1) i find it very interesting that in the TMI world of reality TV, there has of yet been no context added to the fact that a contestant that i'm pretty sure we all agree is gay, also has a biological son. i'm just nosy about the deets: did he go too far as a teen pretending he liked the lady business…

i thought the same thing: Mondo's styling was surprisingly bad, whereas the judges also loved that aspect of Michael C.'s look.

that is 1000000% TEAM Michael C.

my reaction when Michael C. won…
*fist pump like i haven't done since Daniel craned that motherfucker in The Karate Kid*

oh.my. frakin' gods.
i don't even know where to start with this ep. first of all, it took me forever to get through because especially once the runway judging started, i had to pause several times and cover my face with my hands, moaning in discomfort at the SHEER FUCKING AWFUL AWKWARDNESS of it all. and then Tim…

I can no longer watch The Body…
…after having seen it twice back in those years. Like Buffy, I was an only child and her same age when I lost my mom in a similar way. I guess it speaks to Joss that it is unbearably real to me. I almost made it through this post without crying… till Anya.

plus it's sooooo hilarious and quotable and bad-ass and heart-warming:
"Big power outage in Buffy County." … "They're going to expect me to be, like, The Slayer, and know stuff. But I'm just me and I don't know anything." (oh, Buffy!)

on Buffy's grief, Riley, and 'Checkpoint' overall…
WARNING: long post a'comin: first of all Noel, i love that you do this; it's a joy to watch along with someone discovering these gems for the first time, and i generally agree with your take. but a few things:
