Sentinel 1x1 The Switchman

1x01 The Switchman "[Blair Sandburg] is a squirrelly long-hair who looks and approximately acts like the love child of Noel from Felicity and Mr. Turner from Boy Meets World, if that love child came out really short and spoke with an approximately 1:1 ratio of the word 'man' to all other words."

Okay, that line was from the original, inconsistently detailed version of this recap. But I promise it's longer now. Approx. 4,000 words longer. Hey, the pilot deserves excruciating detail.

Too bad there are only 10 episodes in s1. I'll have to go on to another show. :)

I wish I'd done the roundups from the beginning; I think I mostly count things I would have noted in the recap, so I can probably add them from that if I want to, but I might miss some things, especially sense uses. There are so many that I might not have noted every one.

It's not made 100% clear that the kiss is a supertactile thingy, but they do close-up on the lips all significant-like, and Carolyn notes that Jim didn't used to kiss her like that, so I'm going go with 'yes' there.

I didn't think through why Jim was so annoyed at the "touchy-feely" remark, except that he's kind of prudish and private generally, but you're so, so right.

I really think it's the best explanation for the OTT reaction; I mean; this is a doctor (supposed to be) and they ask all sorts of personal questions but Jim just flies off the handle here.

Because he's thinking back to the night before AND his body knows what's in store with Blair, even if his brain's a few scenes behind ;-)

And the kiss is in the credits; isn't it in the frame with the word 'touch'? That's one hot kiss, even if it's not Blair on the receiving end. RB's got this habit of really grabbing onto hair and getting very intense; he does it in other shows so I'm thinking it's his normal MO :;fans self::, but sticking with Jim here, he's going to love kissing Blair ;-)

Oh yeah, you're right. I always skip the credits.
