Numb3rs is becoming fairly unwatchable
Between all the stories where soldiers and Marines are either criminals or suspected criminals, the incessant babbling by the hippie dad and the genius scientist about how great it is to worship Gaia, and the complete absence of rebuttal about the polar ice caps melting (AS THE ARCTIC ICE HAS SHRUNK OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, THE ANTARCTIC ICE SEEMINGLY HAS GROWN, DILLWEEDS), turning Larry into a snoozer, and making Don, the hero of the show, a completely unlikeable character (after all, guys who shoot criminals with guns are amoral and emotionally stunted), I’m blerging through half the show every week now.
It needs to step up its game, or I’m out.

The only thing I could think about during this last one was how all their planning for 21 foot silos for corn pellets or 20 foot windmills would run into the local zoning laws. Liberals love to think about going green - but they just don’t want it anywhere actually near them.
Burning corn pellets? Your neighbors in your upscale LA neighborhood would be on that stink and have you arrested in about 2 hours - even if you could get approval from all the local little Nazis to build the stupid thing.
All of which means I didn’t even pay attention to the “story” - too busy reading something actually interesting.

*Becoming*? I’ve found it barely watchable in the first season; I couldn’t stand even half an episode of the second.
Its whiny pro-math preachiness was already hard to stomach, and that it turned hard left doesn’t surprise me at all.
At least it didn’t begin like that, like Bones did. Ugh.
