Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I was just flipping past TNT and stopped when I saw Briscoe & Green - my BPE - when I caught this exchange:

Briscoe: How long till you know something?

ME Rogers: It may be awhile, I have to go pull a javelin out of someone.

Briscoe: Why did you go into this line of work?

Rogers: The free javelins.

HA!

I am unreasonably amused that one of the profilers on Criminal Minds went to my rival high school and graduated the same year I did.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I am now unreasonably annoyed at the poor prisoner handling procedure on Criminal Minds. The sheriff's deputies would never have removed him from transport in a public parking lot where the dad could shoot him. He would have been removed from in a secure underground garage. Also, they never would have left him with only one deputy to change clothes, and certainly not a female deputy.

Also, they never would have left him with only one deputy to change clothes, and certainly not a female deputy.

That's what happened with the Brian Nichols courthouse shootings in Atlanta. A female deputy was alone with him and took off his handcuffs so he could change his shirt. He overpowered her; took her gun; and killed a judge, court reporter, deputy and the owner of a car he stole.

That's my point. They don't do that anymore.

L&O: Did we know that McCoy has a daughter????

I love that Tom Everett Scott is cast as their Elliott Spitzer.

L&O: Did we know that McCoy has a daughter????

Yes, they've mentioned her a few times but always that they were estranged. There was one episode where someone leaked an article to the tabloids about how he doesn't speak with his own daughter. I was surprised to see someone ask about her as if he had a good relationship with her.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

He stopped drinking, so perhaps their relationship improved?

At least he knows her whereabouts.

CBS has an interactive new fall show grid - you can see clips from the new shows including "11th Hour" - which I thought was more a sci-fi/fantasy thing but looks more like a procedural. (And "The Mentalist" which also seems very much like a procedural.)

And I also meant to say (about L&O) that it's fun to see Melissa Leo.
