My mother's had a cold for a few days now, and sometime before this past Saturday, she handed it off to me; as has become its habit since college, my immune system chose to magnify it into some kind of quasi-flu mutant. My mother just had a cough and a stuffy nose, and was tired for a while. I've had a cough, a stuffy nose, a sore throat, a brief fever, and have thrown up three times. \o?

So I've been useless for three days - stayed home from work, passed out on the couch, the whole shebang. I've been watching a lot of TCM; it's great for sick days because there aren't commercials during the movies (tuning in and out over and over again takes more concentration than I usually have when I'm sick). Of course, it also gives me brief fannish urges every time I like one of the movies. At least if I ever get up the nerve to participate in Yuletide, I'll have fandoms to nominate?

Anyway, since it's Tuesday, I have vague, Nyquil-blurred memories of my Monday-night shows.

I ... am still not sold on this, though I will undoubtedly keep seeing it since my mom's still hooked. I suppose I'm glad they finally let Kidnapped Girl get unkidnapped, and I love FBI Lady like burning; I'm also pleased that they're trying to give Assassin Lady a little more dimension, although I'm dubious as to their sincerity. I don't trust The Event enough to be sure that they're really trying to make her seem like a person, and not just adding ~dramaz~. :P

I guess I wish they'd move a little faster - much as I love all this flashbacking back to Inostranka, and everything, it's still not telling me anything. It's driving me up a wall. But as long as my mom's going to keep watching it, I might as well keep an eye on it - they've got to get to a proper reveal sometime, right? ... Right?

Banter! Pretty! Guns! ... And I guess there was a plot in there somewhere, too. >.> <.< This ep was especially weak in that respect, it felt like, but the plot was never the main draw for me with this show, anyway. :D I hope Kono won't always be the bait, but if she has to be bait, at least she's well-armed, ass-kicking bait - and I kind of hope she keeps that dog. And I'm glad she went in with them at the end, that was pretty awesome. Besides Kono and her dog-snuggles, my favorite moments: "Triple banana, bitch", and Danny's admiring sort of "Whoa!" when Steve took that one goon down with that crowbar. ♥.♥

And now I think I need to go to sleep again - apparently the fourteen hours I've already gotten just aren't gonna cut it.
