Yes, yes, I know I suck. However, you may all now rejoice and be glad, yea, for I bring you good tidings - mostly, I just read a bunch of spoilers for the fourth season of Numb3rs, and I hereby retract my earlier statement about Colby being a dirty Communist and reinstate him in his official capacity as the Poor Man's Version of Booth. In fact, he is so much the PMVOB that not only do they have identical episodes about hunting for buried treasure, they even reference the same treasure-huntin' movie. For the record, though, I think it should be law that if you do need a reference about hunting for treasure, it should always be the Goonies. Because a) that is the ultimate treasure-huntin' movie and b) you know The Dave will do a kick-ass version of "HEY YOU GUYS!". Plus, it would be so awesome if like, say in Numb3rs some baddies were holding some people hostage, but then Charlie defeated them WITH MATHS and then Don and David escaped with the hostages (Megan would be negotiating, Colby would be off somewhere being burly) and then the baddies were all like, "EPPES YOU GOONIE!" Come on, that would rock. You know I'm right.

Also, if Colby is the Poor Man's Version of Booth, Lou Diamond Phillips is what Booth aspires to become. He's like, Booth Omega. The Ultra Booth! Booth TO THE MAX! Apart from his disturbing obsession with trying to butch up Charlie, which is just weird.

Also on the subject of Numb3rs, how obvious is it that their casting directors are just hanging around outside HBO's studios with a big net and capturing anyone not quick enough to avoid them? WHOOSH! Weebay and Avon, you will be on our show! SWISH! Joanie Stubbs, Silas Addams, you will be this weeks' guest stars! And while I love Numb3rs dearly, aren't these actors a little high-calibre to be wasting their talents on a procedural? Note however that Al Swearengen and Omar got away - obviously they were just too badass for us to beleive that Don and Charlie could outsmart them.

Also! THE BUNK! If I ever shoot someone and have to go to therapy about it, I want my therapist to be The Bunk. Don'll be there angsting about shooting Joanie and The Bunk will be all, "Well, did you ever fake a serial killing using red ribbon and a set of false teeth?" and Don will be like, "WTF no!" and The Bunk will be like, "Then it's cool." After McNulty, The Bunk is incapable of suprise. And in case you're wondering, no, I did not randomly decide to honour The Bunk by putting The before his name - that is actually his name. In canon. He is that good.

Anyways, moving on from Numb3rs and on to the fourth season of the Wire (although as previously noted, there are so many crossovers in the casting that they're practically indistinguishable) how fucking annoying is Namond Brice?! I can't beleive he got to be adopted by Awesome Bunny and poor Randy and Dukie and Micheal and Bug got screwed over and are now either evil or being beaten up in a stinky group home! Also, in line with everyone actually on the show, I cannot believe he is the product of Weebay's awesome multiple killerin' genes. You fail, Namond! No tropical fish for you!

Prez was awesome this season, though. Aww, Prez! McNulty was boring, but I forgive him in light of s5's madcap fake serial killer nonsense. Landsman is my hero for not locking Bubbles up (awww Bubbles!). Omar, my love for you is filled with conflict, for although you rule, verily, you are a killer of innocent Stringers. Also, your new boyfriend is horrible. Bodie, with Stringer dead, you did briefly ascend to the rank of Prettiest Person on the Show, but now you too are dead. I will miss you and your spitting-through-clenched-teeth ways. It looks repulsive in real life, but on TV you made it cool. Marlow, I hope your pigeons go all Hitchcock on you and peck out your eyes.

Also, special mention for Snoop. SNOOP! If there had been young female hitmen on television when I was young, my life could have taken a different turn.
