And I'm guessing cops can't have criminal histories like that?

Generally speaking, you can't be a police officer if you've been convicted of a felony. Now maybe both his battery and possession charges were misdemeanors but, with two, he'd probably still be off the force. Color me confused. I think I need to rewatch.

I am not loving this season.

I didn't love that episode. I fast-forwarded through the whole coed thing.

I'm thinking Alicia told Keith about Carl, and he took her word for it instead of running his own investigation. Which strikes me as unlikely, but it's the only thing I could think of.

That said, why would a guy trying to reconnected with his son waste his time trying to break into an empty house?

This whole thing didn't really hang together very well.

This episode was almost watch from the hall painful. It also stirred up my gender issues discomfort with the show again.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I thought it was a good, solid episode, with nice thematic content, lots of quotable lines, continuitygasms galore, and the continuing development of the multiple mysteries.

And there you have the beagles varying.

Heh.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."

While it wasn't bad, it was a bit bland and uninspired. And yeah, some things in it -- the Alicia's ex-parts in particular -- made me go "ehh?"

Art Crawl!!!

I think that the only explanation is that Keith took Alicia's word for who the guy was.

I think it's amusing that both Wallace and Veronica have fathers who are/were cops.

Also, the co-ed stuff was very watch from the hall.

But if he is a cop, what the fuck is he doing trying to break into his ex's house? And why didn't he tell Keith instead of playing along with Alicia's story?

I'm assuming (hoping?) that there are reasons and all will be explained.

I would like to hear more from PM about the gender issues she had, cause nothing in particular pinged me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Huh. I thought I liked that episode! Anyway, there were lots of good jokes-- I think that tends to paper over any badness for me. Keith was fantastic, as was JD/Logan.

OK, the Duncan/Meg plot was lame and probably won't go anywhere.

Yeah, I thought the dialogue was particularly snappy & funny. Wallace not being fooled by Keith's early morning donuts. And I can't believe they got away with the Irish Catholics remark!
