I watch all the L&Os faithfully. One reason: They are the shows least likely to have a montage with music.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Oh Ginger, that's fucking funny. You are so right. L&O:CI started doing that montage shit and I nearly lost it.

I never realized that, probably subliminal.

I'm missing Sam Waterston in his old role. There is not enough of him as the lead DA.

The L&O: CI montages didn't quite go over my montage squick meter, since they were more "time is passing" than "OMG, it's a sappy song," but they really need to lay off the angst and go back to having the criminals be the crazy people.
I read an article that said that they were going to beef up the DA's role, but it's really not the same. They took McCoy out of the power walk. Sob.

no, and the new lead ADA is annoying. I would have liked them to take the opportunity to make a woman the lead ADA. The male focus has always been a criticism of the show. It would have been awesome if they could have brought back one of Jack's old second chairs to take the role.

Yes, he is. He has no style.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It would have been awesome if they could have brought back one of Jack's old second chairs to take the role.
Only if it was Carey Lowell's character. Or if they resurrected Claire Kinkaid, but that would require moving this discussion over to Boxed Set.

He is. A female lead ADA would have been great. I miss the female cop too.
