Oh the sniper episode. One of those wonderful scriptwriter moments, where we'd known all along Bayliss had transferred to Homicide from the Mayor's security detail, but they fleshed out that one factoid with backstory that illuminated the episode at hand.

Actually, for me, the best part of that episode was that he was totally stoned during his monologue (to Russert, IIRC), and had no idea to what he was really confessing.

"so pretty in his pain it hurts to look at him" as perfect a description of Baylust as I ever saw.I'd rather watch him have a bad day than somebody else have a good day.(That sniper thing was going to be Angel crossover because that insurance man was so Fred-freed-from Pylea but I ran out of time to write it.) Yeah. Too many muscle relaxants, Timmy.

Heh. It's cribbed from Angela Chase in MSCL, but thanks. Poor Tim. He shoulda just stayed in the Mayor's security detail.

I love love LOVE Tim's drugged monologue from The Sniper. I should do a S4 marathon one of these days. Man, so many DVDs, so little time.

In non H:LOTS ranting, I hate discovering that a primary element of my website goes somewhere completely goofball. Too many people distracted by the shiny--like me--nobody's told me yet that the Index button goes to the wrong index.

I thought it was going too well. Bizarre me, I'm actually a little reassured. It's an easy if tedious fix, and I should have thought about it myself. Still ... gah.

Yeah, Vonnie, there's a little Catalano in him. But since Kellerman says he's "snarky, from the Greek meaning 'butthead'", have to stand by my Xander Harris resemblance. I would so tag that but I don't want people to see "butthead" and think of me.

Kyle Secor once called Frank Pembleton the "great love of Bayliss' life." Braugher said "Don't go there." though.

Suddenly am in love with Kyle Secor.

I see the unrequited love for Frank in Bayliss. It's as obvious as if it were written in mile-high flashing neon. And just as obvious is Frank's love for Mary, when, for example, her wraps her in Kevlar during the Sniper episodes.

One of my season four discs is defective. This pains me.

You tease. Now I want to read this.

The Bisexual Bayliss storyline was his idea, too. Yeah, one day, Shrift, when I have time to get beyond the fact that the visuals of Hangman Guy writing on the walls and Fred writing on the walls reminded me of each other.(I watched them on the same week, so it made me think "What if "Dr. Olivette" thinks it's been a day, but for him, it's been a year. A horrible year.") Balmer's gotta have a portal or two, huh? ETA: In re Sniper Don't forget Munch acting weird to get Kay into the car without her knowing she was being protected(/OTP) "No first names. I'm Munch, you're Howard."

And the readers at ff.net continue to be odder than others. Got feedback on Afterwards (post-series series I'm dipping my toe into, the preliminary part that's posted at ff.net is 28 pages in WordPerfect. The feedbacker said it seemed awful long but wasn't a bad read. Someone needs to get into training just in case they get sucked into Career Change (344 pages). Heck, some of the lead-up stories to Afterwards easily crack the 50-page mark.

I'm trying to feel sorry for readers who have trouble with "long" stories, but it's not quite gelling.

I was going to read your post, Connie, but then I saw there's a whole second paragraph. That's just more time and effort than I'm prepared to invest at this point. I'm sure it was very interesting. Sorry.
