Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.

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

He did that as a personal favor to Barry Levinson, who needed a name to keep his show from being cancelled.(Baby Jake Gyllenhaal is a victim's son because his dad, Stephen, directed.) The first ep of TV David Simon ever wrote on, and as you can probably tell, one I consider hugely underrated. Could I sound more like Abed right now? But Melissa Leo killed it in that one. As did all the teens they cast. "I had the power, but forgot who I was." (/Procedural Abed)

Procedural Abed should say "Cool, cool, fuckin' cool,' at least once. So I did.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The Elementary people too. This last episode the murderer was way too obvious.

Yep. It is suffering in many respects by doing its own cases rather than digging into the ADC canon for their inspiration. (I'll have to subscribe to this thread. I have very few spaces where I feel safe being critical of Elementary, due to its fandom.)

Well, the less mature sides of both the BBC fandom and the CBS fandom are to be smacked upside the head until sense and proportion enters into the discussion. I just run across the Elementary ones more frequently, as they are watching for Great Justice.

I can understand with 22 episodes a season, why they wouldn't want to totally do canon stories, but it would be nice if they did a few canon stories a season.

As I've said before, there's little evidence they've ever read Sherlock Holmes. Emo Sherlock Holmes who admits he's wrong and tells people how he feels? I don't think so.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I like Emo Holmes. It makes a nice contrast with the Moffat show.

I like my Holmes like I like my abductions: alien.
