Some general notes and a couple of questions about the wrestling
1) I have now seen two episodes of Human Target. I like it when they make shows that cater to my whims.
Heroic, but not stupid, lead good guy. Decidedly shady secondary character, working for the good guys out of principle (oh Guerrero, my fondness for you is probably a bad thing) and Chi McBride's character, Winston, who is my favourite thing about the show. I think it's his look of exasperation at the other two. My favourite bit of the last episode I saw was that Winston spent most of it going either "this is a stupid plan" or "you, behave!" and then when he talks to the bad guy, it was quiet and measured and totally wrath of God.
2) Saw Inception again
Cobb's conversation with his kids at the start reminds me of why I hate the use of "gone away" as a euphamism for "dead", especially when talking to children. All it suggests is that there is somewhere else that the dead person would rather be than with the child. Is it any wonder people feel abandoned when these terms are used.
In case anyone is wondering, I prefer the term 'dead'. It's what my mother used, so I am aware that there is nowhere that my dad prefers to be.)
Other than that, it holds up on second viewing, even if the same things that perplexed me last time still perplex me.
By the by, what is the correct form if you spot a prompt on a community, totally misread it, get a fun idea, write it and then realise that the fic doesn't fit the prompt? Are you obliged to credit the prompt at all.
3) Wrestling
-How do we know Cole isn't lying about the whole mystery e-mail thing?
-Also, the whole Cole <3's the Miz thing. What?
-Not a question but hello Randy!
