Back in their respective heydays, I was a big fan of Scorpius (Farscape) and Luther Mahoney (Homicide: Life on the Streets). In both cases you had a villain who was amoral and determined to bring down our heroes; but then they'd turn around and help, or do something good for someone else. They did the right thing just enough to make you wonder what they'd do next. More recently, I think Ben Linus (Lost) falls into this category.

For pure sociopathic delight, Alice (Luther) is tops these days.

OK, whose bright idea was it to air two mindbending, WTF? series finales in 48 hours? I was still working on Ashes to Ashes when Lost was dropped on me. Up half the night working that one out. I have a theory, but I think it will require diagrams. Also finally got to the season ender of V and that had quite the twist there, too. ( Spoilers for V finale )
Then I come to work, except I can't. A truck, loaded with an MTA bus, has parked across the intersection to the street my office is on. No vehicles can get onto or off of the street. I spent the first 15 minutes of the work day sitting in my car blowing my horn at this moron. He pulls 20 feet further forward and people can access the street, but he won't do it. Jackass.

Home from Farpoint, and kind of wishing I hadn't left the con. I'll get back to that.

Watched it all last night. Too tired to even try to evaluate the timeline business.

However,

So I'm sitting here at work, trying not to think about the clients-from-a-very-significant-federal-agency who are in the next room auditing our billings, and my mind turns to Supernatural and Lost and the parallels that seem to be popping up between them. ( Previous Supernatural Season 5 Musings )  And another one came flying into my mind.

Watched the finales over the last two nights, and there were some interesting parallels/coinky-dinks. Could almost wonder if the respective show-runners knew what the other show was up to...

( Comparisons )
There's probably more but I'm too tired/headachy to come up with them at the  moment.

I thought I was going to have a conflict issue last night. Ahhh...not so much. Everytime I turned on the game, the Pengwhines scored. Pretty easy choice with the Caps getting their posteriors handed to them. I was probably too tired to be watching Lost though, I think the massive information overwhelmed my tired little noggin.

Brisco County has arrived and except for a crack in Disc 1, which doesn't seem to affect the disc's playing, the set is quite pretty. So far, the show's cute and Mom is enjoying a western, which is miraculous unto itself.

Watched Castle, Cold Case & NCIS all on the same night, and I realized what it is that I like about Cold Case - it always takes me at least half the show, and usually more than that, sometimes til the very end, to figure out who the killer is. Most of these shows, the killer is quite obviously the guest star, because there's usually only one or two non-regulars present to begin with. At least Cold Case throws out a half dozen+ people who could have done it and keeps them all plausible for most of the show.

The only show I got to watch live last night was Lost. ( Teensiest spoiler for Lost )
This morning I happened to hear Foo Fighter's 'Learn to Fly' on the radio. I haven't heard that song in years, and I forgot just how awesome it is. Ah, the days of driving late at night with Foo Fighters, Collective Soul and Radiohead to keep one awake...

On the music front, I finally bit the bullet and bought a bunch of Tom Lehrer CDs. It had to be done. Except, please, always call it research.

Oh yeah - given the combination of Lost and Damages, shall we just declare Wednesday to be Sociopathic Liars Night and be done with it?
