"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm not sure if there is anyone still watching L&O:LA here, but I need to rant.
Since May, NBC has been showing "new" Skeet Ulrich episodes. Yes, that's right, they decided to reboot the series, killing Ulrich's character and putting Molina in as a detective, but they had already filmed 4-6 episodes with Ulrich. So they decide to air them in May.
This absolutely confused me as a viewer because I kept seeing episodes show up as new, but Skeet was in them! And I have to say, these "new" (old) episodes were decent. At least the Order side was decent. No complaints with that side of the house. The Law side was out of control terrible.
I know people didn't like Ulrich, but I think he worked pretty well and he worked well with his partner. The DA side is what was fucked.

Oh, yeah. I totally agree.
I love how when it was announced that they were going to show the unaired Skeet episodes in the Summer - NBC denied that they were doing it. What was the point of that?

I was muttering to myself about the post-mortem episodes last night.
I'm with you on the DA's office. I like Peter Coyote, but in the L&O formula, having a major character who is subverts justice for his own ends just doesn't work. A certain amount of political calculation is one thing, but the L&O premise requires that the system work. It doesn't help that the ADAs seem to be idiots.
Also, while Ulrich runs the gamut of emotions from A to B, he makes a fairly believable cop. Molina doesn't.

They did what?
Grrr. I'm sure Dick Wolf is off somewhere muttering about the whole thing, though some of the writing is his fault.

Yeah, at least - when they pulled the episodes and announced the reboot at first they said they were going to air the Skeet episodes in the Summer and then they denied it and now they're doing it.
Maybe they changed their minds when the new team failed to improve ratings for the show.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I was wondering what was going on when a new ep showed up on the TiVo. They cancelled it anyhow, so I guess they'll fill the space any way they can.(I have a bunch of eps on the TiVo. I'll watch them someday.)

I'm going to think of him as Skeet Ulrich: Zombie Cop from now on.
