Detective Russell? Wasn't her name Diane?(Another show that gives its all for the womenfolk, obviously.)

Buffista Fic: It Could Be Plot Bunnies
Where the Buffistas let their fanfic creative juices flow. May contain erotica.
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.
Lotsa Feltons in my area.
the Gartys
oi yes. I forgot about him.
The Bayliss' come to shop & eat here but probably don't live here unless they are married. At least it seems like there are no single guys in the neighborhood.
Now i'm a little obsessed with figuring out which neighborhoods the cops lived in according to the show. Why won't they release the rest of the seasons on DVD RIGHT NOW!
