90K, 100kms range & 15 Hrs to recharge, it's a no brainer IMO. :fum:

Appears regularly in "The Good Wife".

Don't know "Her". I've never watched ER more than a few minutes at a time so I guess that's why I haven't seen her.
Anyway, I have a sneaking suspicion it's more real life in the USA than we'd like to admit.
However, I tend to lose interest in most shows after a season or two so I reckon the show's days are numbered with me.
We're a bit off topic but maybe an idea for a new thread on TV shows we like or dislike.
