I'm pretty sure you're not alone, Jen. I've never watched the show, but I have heard your reaction before.

Bad boys are so much simpler when they're imaginary streams or pulses of electrons.

eta: Anyone know how S2 of Thief would have gone? It is cancelled, right? I'm fascinated by this season's bad boys--Prison Break, Heist, Thief, and there are always the dubious things Kiefer does.

That makes me feel better. I kind of figured I wouldn't be the only one to have had that reaction. Still feel a little dirty, though.

Yeah. Wouldn't want to run into an actual person like the character. Though, wouldn't mind running into the actual actor.

ETA: Haven't watched Thief.

Oh, he's smoking hot in Oz.

And he is much more attractive as Stabler in Scary!Vigilante type mode. Him talking about the job or his kids does nothing...he goes a litle too far in the Box...and guh. Very distressing for an ACLU member, I'll tell ya.

Oh, he's smoking hot in Oz.

Plus you get to see his cock.

Emmett's team won their game today- their third win in a row. Emmett finally got in a groove with pitching, and went two innings, only giving up one run. It was a close game against the team we had a heartbreaking loss against a couple weeks ago (we were winning up until the last inning and only needed three outs and they scored 17 runs). Also, it's weird because this team has five players from my team last year.

What's odd is that I know each of them so well, and to them, already receding in their memory. But I watched each of them deal with stress and pain and I know what their fears are and how they deal with them and how they gained skills and built confidence. But ultimately they don't really know that much about me, except that I'm Emmett's dad and that I coached them. They might have learned a couple things from me but they didn't see me in stress situations the same way I watched them closely through practices and games last year.

I guess teachers get this to some degree.

I believe my reaction to Chris Keller is well documented here. It falls firmly into the "guh" category.

Why am I up this late AGAIN? I swear.

Aw, Jesse. You should call me and get me through the next 1000 words. Or, you know, go to bed. Which is probably a better option.

I am going to go to bed, but you do have my sympathy. I was supposed to write 1000 words today myself, and couldn't do it. Good luck!

ita, was Thief cancelled? because they finished the arc in 6 episodes very cleanly. Plus, the team was captured, killed or disbursed -- I mean would it have been a show about them on the run? Or do you think that there was some set plan that in a case like this they would meet or contact each other after a period of time or in a particular place ?
