Thank you + The Listener

[alexandral]

Thank you so much for all your well-wishes, I am back to 100% normal. I have slept, watched "Black and White", "Fringe", and Korean drama "Fly High" (I love love love this drama, may be the best drama I watched in the last three month. More details about "Fly High" here).

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Also I have been watching Canadian show "The Listener". It is quickly becoming my favourite of the season. The premise is similar to the one in "Thoughtcrimes", a 2003 film that actually was a pilot episode of the show that never went ahead: a paramedic Toby Logan (Craig Olejnik) can read your thoughts. He helps to fight crime. This wasn't instantaneous love for me, more of the "Craig Olejnik is pretty I must watch this" phenomena. But slowly the show is catching up with me: it is pretty, it has lovely cast and awesome female characters, it promises interesting backstory developments. It doesn't have boringly silly plots like "The Mentalist" and it doesn't hit any of my annoyance buttons. I like stories about mindreaders.



Reasons to watch The Listener
Reson 1: Craig Olejnik is pretty:



Craig Olejnik is cute:


He was born to wear a cravat. May be he is related to Richard Armitage, for the awesomeness of his profile has no bounds:


Craig Olejnik's eyelashes are long and thoughtful:


He has a great OTP with a no-nonsense female detective (Lisa Marcos)


WHo can rescue anyone any time:


And doesn't believe him:


She is gorgeous:


Also:
1. I love the show's colouring
2. Enis Esmer plays an adorable friend of Toby's
3. Colm Feore plays Toby's suspicious doctor / father figure


In other new, my daughter and I reached the 170 (!!!) episode of Japanese anime "Bleach". I think I have never seen so many episodes of anything.

I've finished season five, or up to episode 5. I must admit though, as much as I like Bleach, a break is required and I skip some episodes. It's such a long anime.

episode 109 I mean

My daughter and I also have breaks from time to time - I might have even dropped it altogether but she keeps wanting to watch it. Some parts are better than others - I was fairly bored through the Bountou arc but Hueco Mundo arc is quite awesome.
