bunchofgrapes | Déjà Vu, anyone?

For some reason the Jim Brass Forum currently hates me. I can't access it at all--it tries to connect and then times out. It's the only freaking website on the internet I want to access but can't. I'm thinking it's probably somehow related to Zone Alarm ForceField. That stupid program will sometimes cause Firefox to crash over and over.

Tonight's episode was something akin to "Toe Tags" meets "4x4". I didn't watch it live because the Caps were playing the Thrashers and hockey trumps all. I have tickets to the Caps/Maple Leafs game next Thursday so it'll be more of the same. I don't like Thursday night games because it throws off my TV schedule but again, hockey trumps all.

Ok, so this episode didn't thrill me at all. However, I knew it was written by Weddle and Thompson so I was expecting a little personal bit. I knew it was coming. And sure enough, there it was. BRASS HAS A BROTHER! I've known he had a brother since "Room Service" back in S6. It was supposedly in the script but got cut. I'm thrilled they finally added it in.

"I threw my brother threw a screen door. He broke a bowl of oatmeal on my head... But I can't imagine killing him."

They seem to be on a roll with the Brass backstory this season.

I really thought this was going to be a Brass bust. Too much Vartann and Cavaliere had me thinking Brass was done after the first case wrapped up so neatly. I was pleasantly surprised when he popped up at the end. I agree with

alice_day too. PG needs to grow his hair out a little. It really is too short. I know it's thinning more on top but it's just so damn short. He needs to go back to early S7 length.

The funniest bit had to be the commercial spokemen, Brass and Langston:
Brass: "Those incriminating DNA stains can be so hard to get out"
Langston: "Which is why professional criminals prefer chlorine bleach".

Ray had perfect timing, chiming in with that line. I really love the Ray and Brass team. They work well together.

After Ray's little explanation of how environmentally friendly detergent doesn't get out DNA stains, Brass says his other good line of the night: "This is how I clean up the planet" as he's having the girlfriend arrested.

Dr. Anspaugh from ER played the guy who hired the PI. And in a nice bit of type-casting, he played a surgeon. Maybe that's why I say "Hey, it's Dr. Anspaugh" when I see him.

Next week's episode looks a little meh. I like Nick and Brass is in the longer promo but Taylor Swift doesn't really excite me. Neither does emotional Nick. Oh well, I'll be at the hockey game.

Finally some cannon moments about Jim's bro. I about lost it when he delivered the line too. Now to TPTB, let's hear about Jim's first commendation, since they seem to be on a roll with his backstory. (I know, I keep going back to that)

Absolutely love him in the long coat though...

I'm not gonna lie, I'm still confuzzled about the case though. I'll have to go back and what it un-interrupted.

I need to go back and watch it again too. I mostly got it but I need to watch it when I'm not distracted by 100 other things--like not being able to access the Forum.

Since they seem to be on a backstory roll with Jim, maybe we'll get a mention of Ellie. Or him getting shot. That would make me very happy.

And I completely forgot to mention the long coat. I wrote it down too. He was smokin'!

They killed the consistency part back in "For Warrick" when Brass says he's been in Vegas 20 years. That completely hoses up the backstory they gave him in "Hollywood Brass". And if I could access the Brass Forum, I'd give you the how and why.

I completely forgot to mention the overcoat! I'd written it down but left it out of my post. He did look smokin' in that. I had to rewind and watch it again.

Yeah, I work for an IT company so I know just enough to make me dangerous. When I first realized I had a problem, I tried it in IE and then I tried it on a completely different laptop. Neither works but the different laptop at least told me it was a network problem. My techie friend told me all the same stuff (she's a couple of states away) so I knew I was on the right path. This morning though she had me ping the site (no response) and then do a tracert which shows exactly where the drop is. Now it's in her hands though because I have no idea what to do to fix it.

Eat your twinkie because my techie friend figured it out. Apparently, one of the sites (there are many) on the way to the Forum is blocking my ISP (Comcast). If I go through an anonymizer website, I can get there. So for now I have a work around but why they suddenly started blocking it is anybody's guess.

If you hunt around the Brass Forum, neptunienne put together a timeline based on what we got from "Hollywood Brass", if you're interested. Of course it was also put together before "Way to Go", where they changed his age.

I starting looking at PG's head for scars from hot oatmeal and glass.

Exactly! Well said!

That bit made me laugh. They do work well together.

Maybe his brother broke his nose too. As I recall (from the part that got cut) he and his brother weren't supposed to like each other.

I haven't seen it yet. But will be watching tonight. Can't wait for the Brass bits. And definitely agree that his hair is too short. Plus the way they backlight him sometimes, along with the superbuzz cut, makes his ears look like they stick out way more than they really do.
I haven't been on the Brass forum in ages. And the sad truth of it? I think about all the stuff I'd have to read over there and know I don't have time to do it. So I keep putting it off. Just kick me in the ass, okay?

Well, I still can't get to the forum and neither myself nor my techie friend can figure out why. It's just this one website and it appears to just be affecting me. I've tried it without my firewall, from another computer (same network though), and I still can't access it. This is frustrating the hell out of me. But anyway, you should go and check it out. At least go and check out the PG pic with Taylor Swift, the article where PG actually speaks, and the spoilers for one of the upcoming episodes.

As for PG's hair, I wonder if he's keeping it short because it's gotten thinner on top? I just wish he'd grow it out maybe another half an inch at least. Someone on that stupid show really needs to listen to us when it comes to how PG should appear.

Déjà Vu, anyone?
