smonster, my take on cop shows is that they either piss me off or leave me yawning. From Hill Street Blues to NYPD Blue? Nothing.
H:LOTS - best damned writing for network television ever.
And the best performed, week after week, stunning ensemble.
And filmed right there, streets and projects in Baltimore, not on some sound stage in Hollywood.
And the best villain ever written for television, in Luther Mahoney.
Really.
These two bits are soooooo perfectly Buffy. I'm running out of ways to say I love it.
Thank you. Wrapping up soon. Going to try to knock out "Terry's Day" tonight, and then the last chapter, in which all is revealed.
What Deb Said, minus "Hill Street" heresy. And the fact that I don't know who Mahoney is, yet.

You will.
And I could see what they were trying to do with HSB; I just didn't care, mostly because I am apparrently allergic to Veronica Hamel, at the molecular level of allergens.
She makes my temper break out in hives, for some reason. I feel about her the way I feel about Lara Flynn Boyle, and how IIRC Plei feels about Julianne Moore.
Errands!
Can I tell y'all how refreshing it is to talk about my dialogue without someone saying "Could you watch the cursing?" I was in a group, but I quit cause they asked me that ALL. The. Time. Made me feel nasty.
I wanted to pull a John Callahan and say "Fuck, no!" but I didn't have the ovaries.(And not just cause of the compliments...I trust you to tell me if it sounds weird, too.) Just rambling.
I'm not sure if I clicked twice, or the Phoenix did. Nothing to see here.
Some pictures for reference.

Loving the Homicide fic erika. Picayune note:
He thought he put the thought
...is probably too thoughtful.
Even for Timmy The Mindfucker, yep(Mindfuckers unite! If it feels right, maybe. Not that I judge...but you know). That'll teach me not to draft first, damn it. Will change to "He thought he put her out of his mind." Yeah?
Will change to "He thought he put her out of his mind." Yeah?
Sounds good.
The fic is excllent, btw.
Anybody got a problem with your use of profanity in fiction, you look 'em in the eye and say, "Suck my cock, bitch."
Especially
if they're a guy.
