What's all this decent network telly business?

Dear Southland,


You made Bull Randleman gay?!!

FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING WIN! *high five*

Seriously, when I saw Bull in the bar, in his tight black tee shirt (nice guns, Michael Cudlitz!), drinking that piss, err Corona, and the second I saw Crusing!Man next to him, something pinged about what I'd heard about the series and my brain was like, "Oh, sweet baby Jesus, Bull is gay. They went there. WOW."

Show, please do not be leaving like Kings, which was supposed to be in your time slot, but you are clearly for the investment.

Also, Ryan, err, Ben, um, so Ben Mckenzie, is it just weird to share your first name with your character? Oh, who cares, you haven't aged a fucking day, and that line about Ferrari guy getting your lawyer dad to get him off? PRICELESS! *high five Southland writers*

Double high five for Ben taking a Black Studies class!

Triple high five for Regina King (227 in the house!)!

And some other stuff happened, but I couldn't tell you what, because Bull, Ben and Regina for the WIN! Real acting hooray! *\o/*

I swear I am not thinking of the story where Ryan and Seth had a horrible messy break up -- Seth always was a selfish wanker -- and so Ryan left and joined the LAPD and then he gets partnered with Bull and there is stupidly hot, filthy sex in the back of the squad car.

Okay, I lied. I NEED THAT STORY.

<3,
X

Seriously, people, watch this show!

I'm lame because I totally didn't get it with the bar scene. Clueless is me.

Mostly I thought Ben came off as one note in this. Ryan Atwood with a little wide-eyed bewilderment to spice it up, but I did LOVE the scene with the little girl.
"Do I look mean?" "No it's just the haircut."

I probably won't tune in regularly because it's a little gritty for my taste, but I hope it does well for Ben's sake.

I do no think of Ben as a bastion of awesome acting, but he is very pretty. I'll trust Michael and Regina to do the heavy lifting, and apparently the writers feel the same way. So, we are all gravy. :)
