Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.

This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]

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

I especially like Morgan and Garcia on Criminal Minds - there's obviously a lot of affection and they respect each others abilities, but they'll never be romantically involved.

Have you SEEN the fanfic? Crazy!

I really loved the ep where she was attacked by the crazy guy, and Morgan insisted on sleeping on her couch. He just looked at her and said "You know I love you, right?", and you knew that his affection for her ran deeper than probably any other woman that he wasn't related to.

Because as much as I LOOOOOOVVVEE Derek Morgan (he's hot! he carries a gun! he kicks down doors! he reads Vonnegut!), he would be a terrible person to have a relationship with.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Have you SEEN the fanfic? Crazy!

That is ... actually not at all surprising. If you're a quirky techy girl, you don't even have to write yourself into the story! You're already there!

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

I stumbled onto one when I was reading Eureka fanfic (don't judge me!) that was a crossover where Penelope was Jack's sister and she was married to Morgan. Jack was, of course, involved with Nathan.

Darn you all to heck.

Toaster!

I've been delighted that the uneasy-making stuff that's been popping up this season has actually been relevant. It makes one start to trust writers a little more.

Jack was, of course, involved with Nathan.

And somewhere, Ed Quinn is still shouting "Oh my GOD!"

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've somehow missed the Criminal Minds fan fic ... actually, I've missed a LOT of fan fic. (However, let me take a minute to pimp Fay's Supernatural fan fic with, um, a messiah, I think.)

Trust my rage

Yeah, there have been several episodes where I was a little nervous for the show, but it has seemed to do well. I love Bones. It's fun and easy to watch and I really like the characters.

"the history of a TV series, like the history of a nation or an art movement, falls into four periods -- primitive, classic, baroque and decadent."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That is a fun article, Tom. It made me relive every stage of my affair with X-Files, from discovery, to love, to bitterness and betrayal.

Oh, you mean Wee John the Messiah? Hilarious! It's about Dean and Castiel (the angel) having a kid and raising it together. They're delightful [link]
