This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
the thought of breaking things down into arcs and turning points and beats makes me twitch.
I'm not sure if structure is what made TV writing my thing or if learning to write TV molded my brain around structure. Since I can't remember, it will probably always be a chicken or egg type question.
Life is making me twitch (in a good way).
My hands were shaking as I hit the remote to see if there was any time left.
eep!
Rand Ravich was right, if Life doesn't come back, I'm hella satisfied with how it ended. The last two minutes I had a giant cat-ate-the-canary grin on my face.
How much do I adore how Charlie took Roman out? The elegant simplicity of it. The badassery. So Zen, so Charlie Crews.
Just holy-shit-awesomeness.
Damn.
I need to take those words back and apply them to the end of the show, or find better, greater-than holy-shit-awesome adjectives.
Anyone watch The Unusuals tonight? ABC's new crime drama with Amber Tamblyn?

I've got it Tivoed. I'll probably watch it tomorrow-- I have such a weak spot for Jeremy Renner.
I did. You know, it was a heckuva lot better than I was expecting. BTW, I thought this show was a show about police officers who have super powers. So I was disappointed that this wasn't the case. I'm not sure why I thought they had superpowers. Maybe it was wishful thinking on my part?
Anyway, I thought it was a pretty decent cop show. It isn't perfect, but I was definitely entertained. I liked the quirkiness of the cops and that they weren't TOO quirky. I'm glad depressed cop dialed it down by the end.
I'm a sucker for a mystery, too - and they got me there. I hope they resolve these mysteries soon enough.
The one guy, brain tumor cop, may have some weird super power. The show was quirky without being over the top. And I liked the Dispatcher and some of the stuff in the background. Like the dispatcher was describing crimes commited but ladies in matching pink and white sweaters and a couple scenes later, there they are in the back ground in hand cuffs looking feisty.
I'm a little predisposed to love "The Unusuals" for a lot of reasons, but I have to say, I thought it hit all the right notes, and had a good sense of when to dial up the seriousness. Also, jailed guy in a hot dog suit. Awesome.
I'm usually not a cop show guy, but now I'm watching two. Huh.
