Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had a long dream about flirting with Simon Baker last night. Got to give it up to The Mentalist-I'd be happy with those dreams about any of the male leads. Or Cho.

On the total other hand, did anyone see this week's L&O: SVU? Man, is this the :Miami of the franchise? That was laughably bad. Like, really preposterous. Even when CI got twisty and all Goren-worshipping...I just don't imagine that of the L&O franchise. But I'm not a regular SVU watcher.
Missed this week's CSI Miami. Didn't seem to survive me being distracted by having a job. Looks like they're teasing us with Delko leaving next week.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I haven't watched SVU yet, but I've got it Tivoed and I'm going to watch this weekend. It seems like several of the recent episodes have been completely bizarre.

I can't wait to see what you think of this one.

Art Crawl!!!
I think it is the Miami of the franchise. . . it's definitely the L&O that I don't watch.
Loved this week's Mentalist. Just very enjoyable - although it did fall back into that pattern it had last year where the perp is the victim's child.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I read a short fanfic in which Dexter discovered that Caruso's character had been killing people throughout the series and, you know, killed him. Apparently the story brought in a lot of elements of CSI:Miami that made Sunglasses Guy look like a murdering whacko. This post has no point, except that I wish I'd saved that fanfic.

OK, I just watched SVU. So, we've learned that Alcohol Is Bad?
I still don't think it was quite as bad as the one from a few years ago with the Katrina/Iraq orphans kidnapped by an escaped pedophile and exposed to anthrax.

Always Anti-fascist!
yeah, that was pretty insane...I think that's when I stopped watching.

The Katrina/anthrax episode was whiplashy in terms of plot, but I think this one stands out to me because of characterisation. Lahti deserves so much better. I wonder if she knew this was how she was going to be going out when she came in--in a tide of hypocritical tirades and random weeping ("I thought you were my friend!" Why? Because of how nice you are to the cops, and how nice you were about her mother?).
Man, Lahti could have been a wonderful foil for any L&O show. A great firm DA to keep the headstrong detectives in check, or at least bump up against them from time to time. But instead they wrote in a particularly fast descent into insanity (is this the first time you showed up to work drunk, or is it the first time you've been called out by a fellow alcoholic?) and wiped the slate clean and effectively removed the points she was right about ("interviews" without representation and the like).
Oy.
