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

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Rayne, we were talking about Grey's in Natter tonight. It's not a procedural.

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

Fast food, faster justice.

Well, that's a link that I felt perfectly fine clicking on!

That's hilarious.

It's what I crave.

They're not going to let Van Pelt get married, are they? That's not nice.

Watching CSI. You're right, LeN. It is unpleasant. The LA guy is needlessly crass.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

They're not going to let Van Pelt get married, are they? That's not nice.

I'm figuring she gets married, the guy turns out to be nefarious in some way other than simply being a coward, and Rigsby recruits Jane to make him voluntarily disappear.

I'm torn. I was a big Rigsby/Van Pelt shipper, but I'm okay with the mandate that they can't date on the job. And I don't want them pining over their forbidden love. But I totally don't buy this new relationship, and am startled it's gotten to the point of wedding dresses.

But I don't want Van Pelt's judgment to be shown to be faulty, and Rigsby to be long-suffering and noble and right, even if they don't get back together.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Rigsby and Van Pelt have awesome chemistry. I want to seem them back together and working on the same team, but perhaps not as partners.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I liked the end of this week's Mentalist. I wish the show was always kind of weird and strange, rather than a straightforward procedural.

I seem to spend a lot of time wishing my procedurals weren't procedurals.
