But would you kill somebody over them? And I watched an old " Blue" yesterday on Court(which seems to have the same symbiosis with "Blue" that TNT has with L&O) and I swear I never noticed Diane to be a twitch before...she's kind of a nutter, really. But I think we're supposed to find her touching and vulnerable. I used to. Now I think she's a *crazy* secretary with a gun.

Buffista Fic: It Could Be Plot Bunnies
Where the Buffistas let their fanfic creative juices flow. May contain erotica.
Diane?
Detective Russell? Wasn't her name Diane?(Another show that gives its all for the womenfolk, obviously.)
Okay! Yes -- she was a mess before death of Bobby Simone but we're supposed to cut her slack for being a widow.
Yup. Diane Russell. She was an alcoholic when she first got there, then was dry, and always twitchy. I missed that meeting. Then again, I never thought NYPD Blue compared with H:LOTS. I'll take FranknTim over Sipowicz any day.
I love the Sipowicz...I do. But he got all the characterization, well at least till his life became a country song and he lost wife, partner, dog, whateverthe fuck. FrankNTim are a double act.(And I see KayNMunch the same way, obviously...well, not exactly) No disrespect to the other partners. And this is fic... not Erika takes apart PDTV, so maybe I should shut up.But Ms.G is right. Diane was always mental...it just drives me crazy now. I think I'm spoiled.
I love that Kay is a human being, a real live woman, and that she has a personality rather than "quirks". She's from a particular part of the world, there's a particular gestalt in that part of the world, she's prickly and easily put on the defensive; they didn't feel is necessary to base her entire reality on "oh, let's make her a recovering AA type, and hey! an abusive father! Yeah, that'll be great!"
Feh feh feh.
They got the personalities dead to rights on H:LotS. I don't think it's just because I live here, but I also think they captured the personality of the city extraordinarily well.

They absolutely did. I'm really loving watching again now that I live in and love/hate but mostly LOVE the City. I was only here for a year while they were still filming.
I got the Bolanders all over my 'hood--disgruntled, dissappointed middle-aged Hampden white guys with dark senses of humor and soft spots.

Not to mention the Gartys.
