God, don't get me started on how much I hate Detective Benson. Every time Mariska gets her(seemingly inevitable) Best Actress Emmy nomination, I think "What? Did all the other actresses DIE?" That must be how Mark Hellish felt. But I did have to quit watching, cause I went from fan to casual viewer to *very* casual viewer who was a. pissed about how they treated Munch and 2. Only managed to catch the ones where Olivia's quivering lip played the lead. Even Psycho!Stabler only helped so much. Also, the Famous Guest is totally always the perp. Leave it to network TV to make catching rapists boring. George Pelecanos says the crime procedural is today's Western.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

He's on the show?!?! (I'm kidding, though he is slightly more visible this year.) It's a great gig for Belzer; hardly any work at all.

OK, I can see that, but he was kind of a gag machine a few years ago, compared to the things he got to do on Homicide. But characters on Homicide got to have more dimension, in general

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That was a fun episode of Castle.

Yes, it was! Kinda glad finishing laundry kept me up late enough to watch it.

awww ... that's so cute! And he does dress well. I liked on Monday when the older woman said she'd shoot "the pretty one" first - not much question as to which one she meant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's adorable. But I don't have a firm position on who's the pretty one.

Heh, when she said that they kind of glanced at each other and I thought "they'll be arguing about who she meant later".
Very cute website.

Well, I'd say Ryan would be prettier - Esposito's a little craggy to be called pretty.
