The characters were great but the plots bored me, they were so contrived. White Collar is filling the gap, but I've also become addicted to House of Cards.

Or completely ignore the hundreds of ways that any step in their heist could fail. <br /><br />There is a theory about action movies that I think applies here. It states that there are thousands of different parallel worlds, and the movie you watch is the one example where the action hero dodged all the bullets and drove a car into a helicopter without dying. Every other world, he totally died when that first bullet hit him, just like would happen in real life.<br /><br />So when I'm watching a really shaky plot, I just think about that. Failing that, I stare at Christian Kane because yum!Elizabeth Poolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214706118828699708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-30104632488485810572014-05-19T09:00:47.726-07:002014-05-19T09:00:47.726-07:00Oh I'm a huge Psych fan :) I actually really l...Oh I'm a huge Psych fan :) I actually really like Lassie, which my sisters think is weird :)Sarah Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01185278849400551014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-21193549077905801542014-05-19T08:57:00.548-07:002014-05-19T08:57:00.548-07:00I'll have to check that out.

I'm all about Psych, so if you haven't watched it, go for it, and hang in there until season 2 when it gets good.
