I used to watch Homicide on and off when it first aired, and the brief window of time it was in reruns. So I know some stuff but there's a lot of new to me things in there.

t /off-topic

I once tried to win a real-life political argument on Daily Kos using nothing but Homicide quotes...for me, I suppose, it's never off-topic. The scary part was that I almost succeeded. Like Hardison, I couldn't resist a dramatic flourish at the end and overplayed.

AHAHAHAHA!

That's awesome, erika.

Thanks. I really relate to Hardison when he does that. I do that. (And Nate when he hates himself...yes, Protestants do it too. It's just like a cover band of the Eagles instead of the real thing.) Also, in my own penny-ante way, I have his same struggle between what I learned, about being a "citizen" and a taxpayer and whatnot and my current life. Also, I kind of thought my dad home-invaded his own house...he did not, but the suspicion persisted until they were arraigning actual criminals for it so I think Nate and I would have lots to chat about. And I have an innocent face like Parker.

Southland: Was that JDM playing the shooter who killed himself tonight??

It was so fast - but maybe I just can't believe it.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't, cause if it was he would have put on a lot of weight. (If we're thinking of the same shooter.)

I don't think it was either. I just watched it tonight after seeing your question and was specifically watching for that. The shooter was heavier and I think younger than JDM.

Zap2it has a spoilery article on White Collar today so I am pasting the non-spoilery fun here:

White Collar" returns to USA for the back half of its second season in just a few short weeks and stars Tim DeKay and Matthew Bomer are dishing the dirt on guest stars and their off-screen couples therapy.

When asked how they maintain their wonderful on-screen chemistry and their off-screen friendship, Bomer deadpans, "Couples therapy. It's worth it. We meet our deductible pretty quickly and from then on out, it's just a co-pay."

"'Cause we're both in the union, so that's good," DeKay continues the gag.

"But really, Tim is such a generous person and he brings a real sense of play to the work," says Bomer. "I know he lifts me up on my off days."

"Oh, you lift me up on my off days," agrees DeKay. "We have a blast together. In the end, we respect each other, as far as the work is concerned. It's just like any other relationship. If you don't have that, there's no ground to it."

And the rest gets into upcoming guest stars.

SHUT UP THEY ARE SO CUTE.
