Did anyone else watch Body of Evidence last night? I liked it, nice to see a nod to the long hard hours of work. Plus Dana Delaney continues to be very easy on the eyes.
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

“Not dead yet!”
I watched it, erin-- I really liked it. Dana's still awesome and the guy playing Peter is a great foil for her.
Also nice to see Jeri Ryan again.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
She looked great in that outfit with the boots.
I didn't hate it, I'm glad that we didn't have to sit through a whole lot of backstory. Of course, if she did actually kill a patient on the operating table, she probably would have lost her license, so I'm chalking that up to dramatic license.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I wish they could have skipped the I'm At A Loss Where To Go Next Until Associate Randomly Mentions Something and I Have A Lightbulb Go Off, since I'm already sick of the trope from House.
Definitely enjoyed her sidekick and the female detective.
I think it had a lot of potential and I'll definitely keep watching for now.

I'm okay with the sidekick, but he is distractingly Eric Dane. His looks and vocal inflections are so similar, I had to check imdb to see if they were siblings. No, but wow. They sure could play them on tv.
I liked the detective calling Dana the Smocked Crusader.

I am worried about the inevitable "sexual tension"

Oh boy, I sure hope it does not go that way. I like sexual tension as much as the next guy, but I don't get any chemistry off the two of them at all.
Let the lead character have some dignity!
I do like Dana Delany's acerbic delivery. She plays jaded well.
eta: Aw. I hadn't seen the cake scene yet. That was nice.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire
I liked it and will probably continue watching it. Every time I see Dana Delany, it just makes me sad that China Beach isn't out on DVD though.

Seriously.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's keeping it off DVD?
