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.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

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????
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.

L&O: Did we know that McCoy has a daughter
I thought "Yeah, and her name's Jessica or Paula or something and they were thinking of hooking her up with Kirk," then I realized that there are other McCoys in the fictional world than the one in Star Trek.
I'm such a geek.
