    Oh man, Law and Order SVU had Casey Novak come back this past week against Terrance Howard from Law and Order: LA

    Shit was intense.

    How the fuck?

    Wasn't she
    disbarred

    she had her license suspended

    not disbarred

    in the S9 finale she was suspended

    in S10 the new ADA said "she lied to a judge and got disbarred"

    why do I know this?

    what have I become

    S10's ADA was a drunk and a whore

    also, didn't she get blown up or something this season?

    Greylich? She left mid-season 10 to "go back to DC" probably because she was so horribly forgettable that I just had trouble remembering her goddamn name and I watched two episodes last night

    Was there an episode that featured her drinking? because that would be both hilarious and an attempt to give her some miniscule amount of characterization beyond "she's kind of hot, i guess" and "we'll keep calling her a crusader and hope that sticks."

    I can't stand watching Bones, basically because "Bones" is a horribly written overly stereotyped character, in my opinion.

    Yay, she's a genius who is so utterly intelligent that she is incapable of grasping the most basic of societal norms.

    Eh, just doesn't do it for me.


    Now...Castle? Love that show.

    Fuck whatever troglodyte who wrote that goddamn homeland defense double ep. though!

    I could watch a whole station devoted to Vincent D'Onofrio. The man is a treasure.

    the exit of D'Onofrio and his partner made no sense. Like, it went beyond unbelievable to just non sequitur.

    Bones was really fun and good, I think. She actually developed and became less annoying.

    Then all of a sudden she reverted and lost any social knowledge she had learned and became a caricature of herself again.

    It is weird and frustrating.

    Castle is way better.

    Also can we talk about Damages? It is a show about lawyers instead of cops, but I love it so much.

    That lady was ballsy. She slapped Stabler in the face once.

    And another time they caught a rapist and it turns out that by catching this guy they exonerated some innocent guy that Stabler busted 10 years prior. Stabler goes to the jail to be like "sorry man, we caught the actual rapist so you're getting out now. I'm real sorry about that."

    Long story short, the actual rapist dies at the end and the DA is like "whoops, that innocent guy still has to be in jail for the rest of his life because the actual rapist is dead. Go do your job Stabler and tell him that"

    Hard. As. Fuck.

    I watched that last night! It was the S11 premiere. it had Wentworth Miller just straight up not giving a fuck.

    wasn't greylich though, she was long gone by then. that was someone filling in for Cabot, and she was all "innocent men are in prison for crimes they didn't commit, run the lineup again in sequential order!" but when they KNEW without a doubt they had put an innocent man in prison for 10 years she threw up her hands like, "well unless you know the Governor!"

    though she did look kind of upset to be fair.

    Now I gotta track down greylich getting all sauced. Did Netflix pull all of SVU off Instant last night or some junk?

    Divide I was wrong. Greylich was the cute DA, wasn't she? She was the one right after Novak.

    The one you and I are talking about right now about not giving a fuck was the drunk one who showed up to court wasted (I don't know if she died this season, I just heard an DA did and I thought it was her.)

    yeah Greylich was Novak's replacement. Michaela McManus? just a pretty face and no chemistry with the cast. Part of my raging hate-boner for season 10. Luckily they hustled her out halfway through.

    I'm only one episode into S11 but I can already see this DA getting hammered in court, looking forward to that.

    Which reminds me of the "very special episode" about teen drinking

    And the "very special episode" about fetal alcohol syndrome

    The thing about Psyche I can't understand is the central thing about him pretending to be a psychic
    When actually he just has a superhuman level of attention to detail
    Which to me is the exact same thing as being psychic
    So why not just say that?

    Neither the whole of truth nor the whole of good is revealed to any single observer, although each observer gains a partial superiority of insight from the peculiar position in which he stands. It is enough to ask of each of us that he should be faithful to his own opportunities and make the most of his own blessings, without presuming to regulate the rest of the vast field.

    I'm pretty sure it's because he's lazy and doesn't want to have to do any official training or anything

    faking psychic just allows him to do pretty much whatever he wants

    The thing is I don't even consider it "faking"
    Like if you asked me, "What is your definition of a psychic?"
    I would say, "Someone with an extremely elevated ability to notice small details and put them together to form an accurate picture of events that person wasn't present for."
    Which is exactly what he does
    So basically he is a psychic as far as I can tell
