On Dragnet, they would announce at the end of each episode what sentence the perp got.

Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Whatever happened to the Closer? I should Google it, but maybe someone will know before I get around to it. I saw a couple of eps and it looked like Brenda and Fritz really were going to get married. This was before my Tivo was fixed, and I missed a bunch of eps, I think. Then it vanished. Very weird. THAT's the procedural. Where did my show go and what happened to it that made it disappear?
ITA about WaT. They went over the line with the extended story line about Jack's father, who I think died at the end of the storyline. But I don't know what they are doing now, I've watched maybe 2 or 3 episodes in the last 6 months. I hope they marry off Danny and the new dark haired chick before they end completely.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They got married off screen in what turned out to be the series finale.
As for The Closer, the season ended. It'll be back in a month or two.

I was assuming you meant Elena when you said new chick, right? She has been on the show four years.

Art Crawl!!!
The Closer is going to be back in the first week of June.
(Hee, I know she's been there forever but I think of Elena as the new chick too.)

Without a Trace: I'm sad that Sam and Jack broke up. I wonder if it would have ended differently if they had known it was going to be the series finale?

I just wanted to put in a note of how GREAT Garrett Dillahunt was in Criminal Minds. He played every phase of the unsub with great delicacy.
yes, he was wonderful. Sharif Atkins was also terrific. This is the second time I've seen him play the veteran with a murdered relative character and he's really good at it. Has he really lost a leg or was that just good CGI?
Played by C Thomas Howell, who they actually got back for that brief masked performance.
really? I would have thought that they would have filmed that scene with the earlier ep.

I don't know when it was filmed. I was just surprised it was him behind the mask when they could have just dubbed the audio in post.
Has he really lost a leg or was that just good CGI?
I'm pretty sure it was CGI. Kinda like my question about Jake McLaughlin. The first three times I noticed him he was only sitting down, and two of those times he was playing a paraplegic. Turns out he just looked the type--he's perfectly hale.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Random Criminal Minds thought about colorblind casting -- what do you think are the odds that when the writer created a character on the Detroit streets named Walter Patterson, that they were picturing a white guy?
