You know what I love?
Indulgent smiles. *
Just those little smiles that characters get on their faces when looking at other characters, or reacting to something another character has said. Usually they're looking away or looking down but it's a look that's full of affection and they're wonderful. I was watching ‘Mandatory Minimums’ tonight – which by the by, I didn’t realise how much I absolutely loved - and there’s this small smile that Sam gives Josh when he makes a wise-crack about Maine being a state with lots of Hispanics. I just melt inside.
See also: Wilson’s smile at House at the start of ‘Damned If You Do’ when he pulls the funny face at Cuddy. In fact, Wilson is a master of the indulgent smile.
I’m sure there’s also a Veronica and Logan one, but I can’t for the life of me remember which episode it’s in .
* They're not always indulgent, but a lot of times they are.

1. Mr and Mrs. Smith still works the second time you watch it. I thought it might lose some of it’s ‘ooh, pretty’ appeal, but it really doesn’t. It is what it is. Very pretty people attempting to kill each other with some pretty good dialogue and some vague semblance of a plot. I might have to buy it.
2. ( The West Wing: Ninety Miles Away )
3. I will not click on spoilery posts about the latest ep of BSG.
4. I watched it nearly a month ago, but I kept forgetting to mention it in here. I watched the original version of 'The Lion in Winter' and I adored it. The dialogue was fabulous and the acting was fantastic. I also now have respect for Timothy Dalton. Weird.
5. I feel like being a sheep tonight. If anyone wants to throw any 'Top 5' List requests at me (Top 5 West Wing eps, Top 5 Songs to Listen to Before Going to Bed etc) go ahead. It looks like it could be fun.
