A general observation relating to nothing in particular and especially nothing on television

If you have a young actor playing the part of a much older man, and he is doing it without makeup or any of the mannerisms of age (because he has to be an action hero at the same time) or in other words purely by suggestion, it does not on the whole assist this endeavour if his co-star makes a point, every single episode, of calling him "boy."

(I was in the kitchen. Honest. I was just fetching the cups. I'll wear headphones next week.)

What is this 'sleep' of which you speak? Enlighten me, O mistress...
