For an episode without Colby in it, that was the slashiest David/Colby episode ever. Wow.

It's the one where they're trying to solve a murder before someone's executed and win a basketball game at the same time. The fun/serious jars a little here and there (and Larry totally cheated at the end) but it's still a very powerful episode. It also has Tony Longo in it, the man who did the Sky Boy! shorts with Garett Maggart.

Anyway, back to the David/Colby....

Colby is off on a fishing trip so David is teamed up with Nikki. He tries, rather wistfully, to get her to play a game he plays with Colby (get your minds out of the gutter; you have a bullet in your gun and a time machine; who do you go back and kill for the betterment of humanity) and she won't enter into the spirit of it so he says he wishes Colby wasn't on a fishing trip.

Later, David says something joking about being with her so that's his alibi when tire tracks at a crime scene match his car and she again just stares at him so he says Colby wouldn't have responded like that and she snaps back,

"You talk about him a lot. Don't you have a girl you should be talking about instead?"

Uh...

Then later yet, she catches him furtively, sneakily leaving Colby a voice mail to 'update him on the case' (sh'yeah, right, like he needs to know when he's on holiday?) and says 'Did you just call him 'baby'?'

David says, truthfully, that it was 'buddy' (still a pet name the way you said it, David, sweetie) and she said something I couldn't catch about maybe he should be calling 'JDate'? I googled that and it's a Jewish dating service. David's Jewish, too? Or she's a David/Charlie slasher? Who knows.

I pet this episode.

( Cause and Effect )

I'd forgotten LDP was on Psych as well as Numb3rs. This 50 second clip is just yummy. Holster pron. Finest kind. And I just typed 'porn' as 'pron' by accident so I can see how it got to be used that way. Like 'teh'. I do that one a LOT.

I think that's the one, anyway.

Talk about an OMG moment (and no it's not the one where they drop frozen pumpkins off the roof and one explodes right behind Alan which made me jump higher than he did).

( episode spoiler )

I'm getting used to 'herbs', 'oregano', 'caramel', 'tomato', 'centrifugal', 'beta' and 'basil' to name but a few, being pronounced differently over here but I was thrown in a Numb3rs episode I watched this week. They're tracking tidal currents and they go out on a boat and drop labelled buoys, then track when they hit the beach.

Both Charlie and Amita called them 'boo-ees' which had me wriggling a finger in my ear, sure I'd misheard.

In England, we pronounce 'buoys' as 'boys', the word derived, I assume from 'buoyant' (boy-ant) because they're things that float. I guess. Seems to make sense.

So is that really how it's said in the US? ::is curious::

Heh. Sorry for the pun ;-)

I just watched the early S2 episode with the Gabriel the Columbian film student being targeted for assassination (and living about two minutes from what was Garett Maggart's house which means he's a very rich film student but moving on).

My God, did he and Charlie ever have chemistry! I was tempted to rewind and watch their scenes again because, whew. They packed a whole relationship arc into that episode. Longing looks, sharing of angsty memories and personal thoughts, sitting side by side and just generally looking one inch from kissing.

Is there any fic? ::hopeful look::

And then I watched the one with the wedding in the garden and ate up the Charlie (13) and Don (18) fighting on the lawn over who gets to take the girl to the prom angst.

I got spoiled for the Colby twist (my own fault; I was wandering around sites and naturally this long after it's not a spoiler) but -- don't hate me -- I'm not getting the love for him yet. David, yes. I like David a lot though I'd like it if we had more backstory on him. Larry, I adore. Colby just seems like background. Megan's good, though I liked Terry too so I'm sorry the actress left.

I'd forgotten how much fun it is to mainline a show :-)

Can now see why Ian Edgerton is a popular choice to slash Charlie people with.

Oh my, yes ::fans self::

Quietly competent, hot, snarky, confrontational when needed but prepared to back down, hot, totally unintimidated by but appreciative of Charlie's brains, hot....
