She first sees him as this tall hunky dude, but then once he's fired, he's just another regular-looking guy. Turns out that she's just attracted to him because he's a corporation literally personified and thus is forbidden to her.

He again shows up in season 6 and they rekindle a romance because he's hired to literally do nothing but attend classes and talk about how great his new car his.

Holy cow that’s absolutely the craziest interpretation misidentifying what happened ever. I love it.

The parents sorta latched on to that theory but it was more them trying to understand why/how two of their kids ended up autistic.

It's not a better show than the Wire in any way. It's still pretty entertaining that goes to some really :stare: places.

I think I just want to remember the Shield as being a lot worse than it was because I find bad tv shows extremely comical.

Holy poo poo, did I? It's been years since I've watched the episode, so maybe I misremembered it.

Guess I also ended up assuming that when he appears in season 6, she's seeing him like that again because he's doing the same thing.

Having said that, I'm glad you enjoyed it because now knowing I was wrong, I don't care because I'm proud of it, and it is still totally in character.

The last few seasons of Fringe were bad this for this. The camera would stay focused just a few seconds too long to show the digital dashboard or make a big fuss about putting in an address to the built in GPS.

Top Chef is getting very bad about in-episode commercials. The drone shots of the BMW coupes driving up a long winding road, or the camera panning over the brand name stoves or packets of Hidden Valley ranch powder.

Top Chef Canada can't go five minutes without blatant product placement.

Cashier: How would you like to pay?
Contestant: I'll pay using Interac Flash!!

First off, no one ever says that and second, do we really need to advertise Interac in Canada? Its not like we write checks here or even use cash anymore. And then there's the close up of the chef using their foot to trigger the sensor to open the back of the Hyundai mini van they're promoting.

Remember gay bike cop who maybe was banging his mom dying without finishing any of story arcs.

Do you remember anything about the lady cop expect she had a sex worker sister?

Other cum son and that whole plot line was funny though.

YOU ARE A MONSTER

i remember that (due to being a woman policeman) she kept loving up. also there was the scene where she did the sick moves with a knife

they should have just had more ripping off of david lynch in the show because it was good when it did that. like the singing girl in the bar and the weird dream where the guy meets his dad in the afterlife

the bar which was a feeding ground for an energy vampire singer-songwriter was the best part of the show, absolutely. everyone in this place is one maudlin look at a polaroid in their vest pocket away from just having a heart attack

I saw a bit of a random NCIS episode recently. One of the characters were in Mossad headquarters and saw they had cameras all over the city.

"Eyes on the whole city?"
"No, we have eyes on the whole world, it's our job."
Then cue the super dramatic swell to indicate that this is, in fact, a super good thing that is good.

NCIS is dumb but usually leans into it. The little flashes of patriotism/government knows best seem kind of out of place.
