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

I can totally buy Reid not knowing the name Cullen. It's only because I read too much on the internet that I know that much detail. Not knowing the title Twilight means not paying any attention at all, because he remembers everything he reads.

I expect that Reid reads newspapers, so I'm surprised that he has zero knowledge of pop culture. I would like it more if he knew about things but in a wierd context. Like in response to hearing "Twilight" he would say "oh, yes, did you know that the fee for the rights was the 13th highest in history" and that's all he knows about it because he read an article in the business section.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

In my head, that conversation has now been rewritten to include Vortex's Reid-response. It's better her way. (As most things are.)

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

I can actually buy Reid not reading the newspapers. I can buy him not reading much non-academic works published past the nineteenth century. Not watching TV or movies, even. Not having seen a movie billboard, on the other hand? Impossible.

I wonder where he spends his time on the web.

I love District Attorney Cutter. But he only has eyes for another.

I can't believe I'm suddenly shipping them. This is L&O. I don't ship L&O. But he looked so appalled at the idea they could ever get together that I was immediately rooting for him.

And his courtroom antics are wonderful. The face he made at the lawyer who was on the stand when he was finished with him was marvellous.

Okay, I did not know that Linus was a Brit. Bad fan: [link]

Another TV Guide procedural interview, this time with Owain Yeoman (yeah, I knew about him) and Amanda Righetti: [link] (spoilers for what happens with Van Pelt and Rigsby next week, but also shirtless wet Yeoman, so make your own call).

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

If you like Linus Roache, you can watch him giving a brilliant performance (with bonus making out with Robert Carlyle) in Priest.
