On that SVU, also, in that one scene with the kid doing math stuff on the blackboard, I think the set people just picked a few random pages from several different math books and copied stuff onto the board. Most of the diagrams were from topological graph theory (which does have very pretty pictures), but there was also one from knot theory, and a lot of the writing looked like differential equations, and there were a few other topics, too, and there's really absolutely nothing that links those topics together.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Always Anti-fascist!
Most of us writers, not so much about the math.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I agree, le nubian. One of the best of the last few seasons, I thought.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What was the crime again?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
well, the show involved at least one murder, a class action lawsuit around a plane crash.

Huh. I recorded that. I must have watched it, but don't remember. More details?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The ADA and the class action suit lawyer have a conflict.
this is a pretty memorable ep - you sure you watched it?

I may have to chalk it up to an Ambien loss.

Art Crawl!!!
It was excellent and, I believe, brought up an earlier case from the show.
Also, may have been repeated on Saturday night.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Did anyone else watch Lie To Me?
I only watched with half attention, had to get some cooking and some laundry done in prep for tomorrow, but it seemed interesting. A little more narrow gimmick than The Mentalist, I don't know if that will turn out to be a strength or a weakness. Just like The Mentalist, though, I think the more interesting stories would revolve around what happens when their conclusions turn out to be wrong. Infallibility is boring.
