Some meta about hot chicks and handcuffs
Jun. 16th, 2008 07:26 pmLet's talk about the dark-haired girls used to introduce the shadowy world of crime-fighting.
Dark-haired woman, hot, trained in crime-fighting, not sure at first about the world into which she was tossed, and equally befuddled about her mysterious demanding boss and snarky chauvinistic male co-worker. And yet she soon becomes an integral part of the team, as well as the heart of the team (when the boss isn't being an aloof heartless ass for reasons that we, the viewer, initially know naught).
I am, of course, talking about NCIS (Kate) and Torchwood (Gwen), at the same time.
And I think NCIS did it better.
( Here's why. )
The Tin Man DVD came out recently and you should buy it.( cut for casting spoilers in case anyone in the world hasn't seen Tin Man yet )
