Vortex, I had diplomatic immunity until I turned 18. My mother had diplomatic immunity as long as my father did.

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

Hotchner seems to do a lot of killing. lots of shooting, hand to hand combat, carries multiple weapons...and he's a former LAWYER? I get Morgan with his police background/trainng being all gung ho with the violence, but wherefore Hotch's killer streak? I just re-watched The Tribe and he disarms, what, 3 people by himself? Seems unlikely with just FBI training.

“Not dead yet!”
Hotch is a perfectionist, I think. I think beyond whatever FBI Academy training he might have received, he would have taken it upon himself to get extra training.
I also think there was an episode that referred to him having also been part of a SWAT detail, which would account for further training.

ah, ok, SWAT training would account for it. The guy can really put the smack down!

When he's coaching Reid in target practice in "LDSK," he mentions how he was trained in shooting when in SWAT.

Bayliss was too, everyone jokes about how well-prepared he would be "if terrorists attack Baltimore" Baltimore has a Quick Response Team instead of SWAT, though

Is anyone here watching L&O: UK? I caught one and a half episodes last night. It's nice to see Freema Agyeman again, and Jamie Bamber continues to be very pretty. L&O Original Flavor was sort of comfort TV for me, and I could see this taking its place.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Is anyone here watching L&O: UK?
I am! Comfort TV is a good description. I'm enjoying it, without feeling much investment in characters or plot, which is relaxing for a change.

I've got the second ep on my dvr, waiting for me to watch it (probably tonight). I liked the first ep, even though the accents were a bit thicker than I was used to. I've watched a lot of Brit TV, so I was surprised when I had to turn on the CC for a few minutes of dialogue.
