So CBS has branched out from police procedurals to priest procedurals?
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hey, they can't be any more fictional than some of the CSIs--I was watching the Spike rerun last night, and for some reason got really pissed that Catherine and Sara were the ones doing the suspect interrogation, with nary a real cop in sight! They've been doing that for the past few seasons (unless there's a reason for Paul G. to show up), and it's starting to grate even more than their refusal to turn on a damn light to look at a crime scene is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd rather have Miracles back.

a former Jesuit priest-turned-psychologist who performs exorcisms
Sounds to me like CBS has branched out from police procedurals to Supernatural.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Wouldn't running into legitimate need for exorcisms tend to push one's career path in the opposite direction from priest-turned-psychologist?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
But psychologists are not disallowed by their professional bylaws from having sex. So, they have a natural advantage where television roles is concerned.

Did The Thorn Birds teach us nothing?

But forbidden sex is so much saucier!

yeah, but a priest can only perform an exorcism with permission from the Vatican. You can't just go casting out demons willy-nilly.

The evil is this way?

I think a bishop can give permission. There may be some rules about the Vatican approving who is an authorized exorcist. Dunno. The Catholic Church doesn't like to talk about exorcisms and the exocists I think are not permitted to discuss what they do. It's like "Fight Club" that way, only with incense and chanting.
