aderam: (timelord watch - _pseudofriends)
So I've mostly spent the last week (ish) while no one was home, watching Numb3rs. Not that I particularly needed another show to watch... but these things happen. I really like it. It's pretty standard cop-show fare, except that the FBI is getting help from the lead Agent's whiz-kid younger brother, who is a mathematician. It's solving crime with math, which is pretty cool. The thing that makes me love it though (as usual) is the characters (frankly, that's what does it for me, I will go through all kinds of shit if I love the characters).

A lot of the actors are familiar faces, and I already knew where I'd seen them before. But I've been thinking that the guy who plays Don (the FBI Agent older-brother) looked really familiar and I just couldn't place him. Today, while bored at work I figured it out. He was Joel Fleischman the Doctor from Northern Exposure! I haven't seen that show in ages. Also now I know why I didn't recognize him immediately. This might just be that I haven't seen the show in a looooong time (and I wasn't really paying much attention to this kind of stuff), but I remember Joel as a skinny, nerdy guy - cute, but not really in a manly way. Don, on the other hand, is a tough guy. He's the lead agent for an FBI team. (And he has really nice shoulders...)

This is another one of those times when my brain is having this weird sense of dissonance.

In Conclusion Numb3rs = wicked awesome. Also I think that I might have to start watching Northern Exposure again.
