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.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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

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

Can't remember if it was this thread or elsewhere where I recently mentioned the CSI episode where Hodges and Wendy get mixed up with a murder at a SF con? Well, that ep is rerunning on SpikeTV tonight at 11:00 EST (10:00 Central), if anyone missed it before.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ripped from the headlines for the Just A Girl In The World Sisto gets played episode. I don't get that woman.
I was watching that episode with my parents, and I kept yelling "HIPSTER GRIFTER!!" They didn't know what I meant.

That episode squicked me out when she started feeling herself up on the stand. Creepy!

Art Crawl!!!
Yeah, that was creepy.
Umm, was Cold Case just canceled due to Football? (Chicago CBS is now showing the local news.)

Also, apparently there's a slaughter rule in the NFL now? They switched away from the Patriots game in the 4th quarter (at um, 51-0). That game ended on time (59-0). The hell?

I think if the team isn't in/from your affiliate area, CBS (or more likely the local affiliate) will switch away to a game with something at stake if the current game is a foregone conclusion. I got the whole Pats game up here in MA.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, we switched away from that one at halftime.
