One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had created my own list of CSI universe truths:
- DNA contamination is a non-issue
- Zoom! Enhance! Rotate!
- Lab people perform interviews and regularly shoot people
You know, that sort of stuff. I'd been lazily figuring they were consistent with those. Well, Orange excluded--their main consistency is being crappy. I swear I just saw a promo where Horatio said "It must be twins!" and all I can think is--you did that already. You extra did that. Colin's ep had doubles and triplets. There are no bigger lampshades.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I admit, once I made my peace with their break from reality I didn't worry about in-universe consistency. That could be slipping and I would never know.

And orange. Very, very orange.

Part of my brain keeps crying out for order, even if it hasn't been trained to expect it. You should see my list of demands for The Vampire Diaries.

For some shows, all I expect is what one critic said about a show from many, many years ago: "it's brightly colored and moves fast" (for ita ! I'll accept "brightly coloured")

I am truly grateful for whatever switch in my brain can send up the "Oh, this is nonsense!" alert systemwide and shutdown most calls for order. It's obviously what's letting me enjoy Ringer so much (although now my critical faculties are all tied up trying to figure out to what extent everyone involved in that show gets how hilarious it is)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm watching the most recent CSI, and wow, you people are not kidding about suspension of disbelief.

I loved that Castle. But what an odd accent Castle/Joe the PI was using.
And Alexis/Sally as the killer!

The actress playing Alexis is looking way older this season. All her cuddling with Nathan is starting to weird me out, but I'm willing to file that under my issues.
