Yeah, joining G+ just before the real-names thing is serving as a warning that I'm likely to pay attention to. At least it's getting me back on DW & LJ more, as I realize I miss all of my online social networks. And if G+ means that someone comes up with something better than FB, I'll be very happy indeed.

I think that Leverage episode was doing its own version of Cold Case, with all the flashback things. WIth nods to various WWII movies about art thefts and such.

I found the extent of the racism somewhat satisfying, for a TV show: the racism was consistent and pervasive, which felt accurate to me. So often TV seems to (as it were) provide a token example of racism and then get on with the plot (or whatever), which I find exceedingly crappy.
