(A third series in the same broad vein is Life, where Damian Lewis’ character has these Zen insights that help him solve cases). One of my problems with The Mentalist is that a lot of the things he does might vaguely intrigue you if you were watching Derren Brown doing the same thing with random members of the public it in front of a live audience, but seeing one fictional character read another fictional character’s mind is kind of underwhelming…

(“one sane collective” = we recognise when things are actually timely, not when then the so-called global corporate media)

Why are there two tv shows about detectives who appear to be psychic but are just very observant?

But now that window has closed, perhaps forever.

Breakin’ 2 thus was Breakdance 2: Electric Boogaloo, which I have always though scanned better.

Funnily enough I got chatting about this show earlier this week. I found out there was no Grove and that wiki page just adds to the valuable knowledge gained.

It is a colossal TUNE.

BTW – i’ve noticed that since our last round of regular podcasts, that the proportion of people subscribing actually as a podcast has increased a lot. it used to be that a few ppl would download via podcast/rss and most of the plays would be an even split between downloads and in-line plays, now the ratios (in the first week or so) are (roughly) 1:1:2 inline:download:podcast.

Thanks to Marianna for the excellent walking tour of Dickensian Southwark as we waited for the engineer to burn our CD for us! We went here among other places.

(for reasons I was once taught but have long escaped me).
