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

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Has it decided yet? Is it noir? Is it camp? Is it really fucking dark? Because it's all of those things, but never at the same time, and all in the same episode. I adore the title sequence, and could watch that over and over again. But when Rorschach is on the screen, it's a completely different show, tone aside.

I think my favorite moment of what I've seen was from the airplane ep, where at the end the female potential recruit is dangling from the plane, all noir femme fatale, saying "What's your name". The only time I enjoyed the whole Chance-Mysterious-Identity schtick. But it's not the show.

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

Hard Target isn't a procedural.

No, it's a John Woo/Jean-Claude Van Damme movie.

Sorry, but if you're going to get technical...

HUMAN TARGET IS NOT A PROCEDURAL.

Clear enough?

For the record, I never brought up Garcia/Hotch. That's your own sick mind, brenda.

har. I'm sure it would be there if you looked. Hell, i'm sure that you could find Strauss porn if you looked.

I'm sure there's Strauss/Hotch and Strauss/Rossi and Strauss/Prentiss out there for starters.

And, I'm sure, Reid. Because he's the LBD of the fandom.

Because I just had to -

a quick search for Strauss fic begat 5 fics, one with Reid (like I said, will 'ship with anyone), the rest are femslash (1 with JJ, 3 with Prentiss)

JJ? Do they even have two scenes together?

I'm appalled at the dearth of Aaron/Erin, and after 100 surprised at the lack of Rossi/Strauss. I saw sparks.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

In an earlier episode, Reid was interested in JJ because she was the only one who called him "Spencer" (rather than Reid). They went to a ... Redskins? ... game together. Then that story line was dropped.

yeah, Gideon gave Reid Redskins tickets to ask JJ out with (he didn't even know it was football). I think that the idea was supposed to be that they went on one uncomfortable date and never spoke of it again.
