Today I watched the most recent episode of Lie to Me (the fictional series based on the real-life research of Paul Ekman, who also serves as consultant to the show). It was great, but would have made a better two-parter. Tim Roth is awesome as Dr. Cal Lightman, but sometimes I think Lightman is an idiot. For someone so obviously intelligent, he has some major self-destructive tendencies. He's the best flawed genius since Dr. Gregory House.
