Watching one of those endless reruns of Criminal Minds on A&E... WHY is it said with such dismay when Hotch decides to drive home "over seven hours" - like that is such a huge deal? And then Rossi tells him to stretch it day or two. A day or two? For a seven hour drive? REALLY?
I mean, I know that sometimes the writers give the actors crap to say - and they have to imbue that silly dialogue with as much sincerity as they can. And I kinda get that Rossi telling Hotch - take some time you need it works well... but someone being dismayed that he would take seven hours to drive home instead of fly (when medically speaking he shouldn't be flying) is just ridiculous.
Real human beings road trip occasionally, don't they? I mean in a couple of weeks I will be driving from my home outside Boston to Quebec City. I expect it to be a very pretty sevenish hour drive. That, BTW will be at least $200 cheaper than flying (and from the time I leave my house to the time I get to the hotel in Quebec City considerably more time that seven hours would have elapsed - so driving - I'll get there quicker and with less stress.).
This isn't the first time watching a show I've had the "*snort* Whatever!" reaction. But really.
COMPLETELY unrelated - I LOVE it when authors introduce me to new words - or perfectly legitimate ways of using words I know, but not that particular definition. Awesome.
