Pendant ce temps, sur la passerelle

Well well, first the pope, now le Prince Rainier, the French media must be jubilant.

Yeah, anyway.

Hey! Did I tell you that I succumbed to BitTorrent? Well I did tell some people on the flist but that's it. So eek! I succumbed to BitTorrent and I'm now in the Torrents club, yay! I christened the thing with a Cold Case download. I miss that show so much - I couldn't resist. Lily was as beautiful and classy as ever, I'm completely smitten with that woman. I prefer her French voice to her real one, though, but it's okay, it's just a minor complaint *g* Also, I apparently chose a good episode since it was full of Scotty's angst. Anyway, I was ecstatic *g* Even more ecstatic actually that the download started at, like, 1 day remaining and ended up lasting only three hours - wow, that was beautiful to watch. I mean, if I stared at the transfer history all the time, which huh, I never do *cough*

The evening was a great CD telly night since I also finally sat down to watch the pilot of Desperate Housewives and OMG! Totally got hooked too. Dark humour at its finest and so corrosive it's a wonder you don't get burnt while watching. It's so smart, you know? The kind of brilliant show that just stands out. I love it. My favourite character now... well, that's a tough one. So far, #1 is Susan but she's closely followed with Bree because... because it's Bree and she's something, all right. Then again, I'm really intrigued by Mary Alice... also, on a very shallow note, even if I weren't interested in the storyline, I would still watch that show because OMG the pretty! Those women are all so very gorgeous, all in a different way. The candy eyes, it hurts! But in a good way *purrs* Then I had the surprise of seeing Mr Lyle. Eeek Mr Lyle is in DH too. I'd totally forgot about that. Nice surprise. And I was all ohh he's a nice and sweet guy this time and then he came home after the fire and had this conversation on the phone and ohhh he had a gun, too, and I realised that well okay, there was more to him than met the eye *is curious about him* Should be interesting.

I've heard that Canal+ will air Desperate Housewives in September. You can always trust C+ to get the best series. It's really a shame they didn't land the rights to Lost because I don't trust TF1 *sigh* Oh well, we'll see...

I also finally succeeded in watching Numb3rs 1x08. [livejournal.com profile] enigel? I'm not sure I'll be able to do more than some squeeing either:

Charlie! Don! Don-Charlie! Eppes Family! Poker scene! Larry! Schrödinger's cat!

But I can try, so:

#1- Those domestic scenes at the Eppes household will be the death of me. They're the best thing ever, I swear. Each time I see the characters gathered together in that house, be it the Eppes family or the Eppes Buddies, it makes me all tingly inside.

#2- They play with us, don't they? I mean, at first I thought okay it seems a tad too easy so I decided that Mark Andric was actually the murderer. Not even really out of deduction, but just like that, in passing and because I needed someone else - I needed a name and I picked that one. Then the episode runs and you're hit over the head with the idea that people are unconsciously influenced by the way questions are asked or by the way things are presented to you and I don't know how many times they used the word 'assumption' but it was all over the place and that's when I knew it had to be Mark. Because if we got to suspect WhatsHisName it was because of the very first witness we saw and he sorta gave the tone and that first witness was Mark... so we were all being influenced by his being pictured as just a witness willing to help the police and pointing out to a suspect... he had to be the determining factor. Come to think of it, they weren't subtle at all.

#3- Fingerprint Technician Girl had the patience of a saint. So the woman has been a fingerprint expert for, what, eight years and we're supposed to think she wouldn't have been able to think of Charlie's little trick in the first place. I mean... I love Charlie being so uber smart that he thinks ahead of everyone else and thinks so far out of the box that he wouldn't even recognise said box if it fell on his head, but I had a problem with that scene somehow *shrug* I mean, I get it, it was another demonstration of how we need to look at something from a different angle since the object itself might have been displayed under a different view, and that was the whole point of our story, but still... you really can't blame the woman for being suspicious and unreceptive.

#3b- I did like how Don and Terry walked back in the room though, when they realised Charlie was still thinking the problem through and was apparently going to question everything, ie with some luck maybe give them a new approach. I really love how they trust Charlie implicitly *g*

#4- Really felt bad for Don during the whole thing and enjoyed the last scene immensely. Felt all relieved on his behalf *happy sigh*

Btw, do we know the age difference between the brothers?

On a different note, I got so used to get my new Lost on Thursday morning that I feel all, well, lost without it right now. And of course, the torrent file is dead. I don't mind the wait though, it'll make watching it so much better.

The odds of me changing that part of my personality are really bad actually. It would be like you giving up internet. So there - nothing to be afraid of *giggles*

*bows* thank you - I like it when I can make references to shows you like *beams*
