*When* will I learn not to get attached to FOX shows?
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Probably about the time they actually let a series run to its natural conclusion.

What is even happening?
Did anyone else catch the Big Sky season finale? That was a pretty big cliff hanger. Good thing it was renewed for a second season. I'd be pretty pissed if the series ended on that note.
I don't know if the above was David E. Kelley's decision or Elwood Reid's decision, but I really don't respect showrunners who don't respect their audience as consumers of a story.

Yeah, hm. That doesn't strike me as a good fit for the zeitgeist.

L&O Reboot
Unless there's a major season arc about rooting out police corruption, I think I'll pass.
I've been watching procedurals set in Australia and New Zealand lately. (There may be issues in the antipodes, too, but I'm not aware enough of them for it to interfere with my enjoyment of the shows.) Lucy Lawless is in "My Life is Murder," which is kind of fun. And "The Brokenwood Mysteries" has a small-town-Colombo vibe.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm a heathen who has maybe watched 3 L&O episodes. My husband likes to visit my sister and watch them with her while I fuss on my computer or read. The dun dun drives me nuts for unknown reasons.

I watched L&O (original version) semi-obsessively in 2005-2006, when my mom was dying. The stakes were high enough (murder, etc.) that I could focus, but the formulaic nature of the show was soothing.

I watched a ton of syndicated L&O at one point. I think maybe it was related to my Homicide binging? I don’t remember watching any of the spin-offs, though. But the dun dun is terrific!
