Diagnosis: Murder 301-308: The best ep yet was 307, the one where Steve's girlfriend turned out to be a mass murderer and she blinded Steve temporarily. I loved Steve's scenes with his dad in the hospital, when Mark admitted he didn't know what he would do if something ever happened to Steve. Aww... Dick and Barry Van Dyke are great in these scenes!

Doctor Who 401: OMG, the scene where the Doctor and Donna met again was HILARIOUS! I LOL'd so hard! Also, I really adore Donna's grandfather. But yet again, Donna's mother is a bitch. What is it with RTD and harpies for mothers?

Elementary 101-105: I started watching it from the beginning again. And once I dropped any illusions of this being an actual Sherlock Holmes series - all the characters share with their book counterparts are their names - I started to really enjoying it. The cases are quite interesting, more interesting than the actual arc, to be honest, and I love the friendship between Sherlock and Joan.

Person of Interest 111: This was such a domestic episode. And the cushion! The cushion was hilarious. Loved the very first scene in this episode. Finch knew something like that could happen and he had a back-up plan.

Warehouse 13 401-402: The warehouse and Jinksy are saved! And Claudie rocks like a rocking thing. I loved her scenes with Steve, when she brought him back, when she refused to apologize for bringing him back, that was beautiful. But one thing I don't get: why didn't HG use her shield thing to trap the bomb inside? It withstood the blast from without, so why not from within?

As you've probably noticed, I've been rather fannishly obsessed with Teen Wolf lately, but I have got so many shows on my HDD, that I decided to watch at least something else. Something that I liked but didn't feel any urge to join fannishly.

And so I chose Diagnosis: Murder, a show that has brought me much happiness many years ago. I skipped seasons 1 and 2 because those were just love songs to the Marty-Stu-ness of Scott Baio's Doctor Jack Stewart - seriously, that guy was the Second Coming! For me, the show didn't really start going until he left and the character of Doctor Jesse Travis replaced him. The show then became much more balanced. Yes, Dick Van Dyke's Doctor Mark Sloan was still the main character but everybody else - Steve, Amanda and Jesse - got much bigger parts!

Speaking of Steve... Barry Van Dyke's Lt. Steve Sloan was THE reason why I watched and loved the show. I mean, just look at him... Those shoulders...



I adored the Sloan family, Mark's wonderful relationship with his son. For me, the show really hit its stride when they moved in together and started living in Mark's villa on the beach, Mark upstairs and Steve downstairs. The Van Dyke family must be really close because the undeniable warmth between father and son simply radiated from the screen, you could literally feel how much they enjoyed themselves. Their scenes were wonderful *happy sigh*

I have the whole of S3 and I'm slowly getting my hands on S4. Still 4 seasons to go, too! Awesome! It's one of the shows that make you all warm and fuzzy on the inside... *_*
