Law and Order: Search and Destroy

go to bed.

it was mostly just good cuz of the prospect park footage + the "lol fuck u cops" sentiment.

can we get perry mason on netflix??!

they kept calling jack a liberal hippie. who is the new detective that looks like a young elliot gould? and the ada who looks like olivia benson's hotter younger sister?

i will go to bed now lol

sonned

that guy i couldn't place looks like the dude who works at forbidden planet!

i wish nbc would stream l&o online :( i always miss it!

yeah esp bcuz they didn't renew their contract with itunes

he looks like a young elliot gould. ie very handsome,

ok you know what you know that dude from? he was brenda's brother on six feet under

I QM GOING to sleep now tho

ohhhh he IS hot!

I am liking this season way more than I expected. Yes, it can be a bit like CI at times (Rene Balcer is writing this season, and he ran the first five years of CI), but for the first time possibly this decade, I find all six leads really good and complementary to each other.

Jeremy Sisto and the new additions on the DA side are excellent. I was convinced the show had just about run its course (I had only been watching SVU for the last two seasons, really). But now it's good tv again!

JACK MCCOY ON THE STAND

DEFENDING LIBERALISM

yeah shit is way out in the open this season, and it has been for a while... it's the svu-ification of the whole franchise

lolz at 'now I know why Adam Schiff was so grumpy"

and Linus Roache, who played RFK, giving McCoy an RFK tie pin.

last week's "are you a socks on or socks off guy?" was funny.

i guess that this season will end up on sky some time around 2017 :(

was the evil ADA the guy from Mad About You?

Linus Roache looks too much like Ken Barlow. It's weirding me out, I keep dreading Deidre showing up.

God the crossexaminations are the worst they've ever been. Not only no actual courtroom craft - just arguing & speechifyin', no fillip, no nothin'. Don't get me wrong, I'd still watch even if everybody just grunted unintelligibly, I'm set in my ways, but the whole 2nd half last night was garbage except for Waterston.

who is the new lady lawyer, she's a babe.

all new ADAs are an insult to the blessed memory of Claire Kincaid

there oughta just be a bottle of Hennessy in the ADA's chair, every week

damn no-respect casting agents

i remember back in the old old days when the innovation was how dry and legalistic the show actually was -- anti-pretty mason but still hella exciting! now it's very perry mason; this is the second episode of the new season that's involved the DA getting and on-the-stand breakdown out of a witness.

xp no doubt! "alana de la garza" is her name, if you can believe it. odd that they found someone who looks so much like annie parisse.

xxp rip

the only ada i really didn't like was elizabeth rohm.

She is the Anti-Kincaid.

homophobes

heh

was there ever ANY hint she was gay until that last episode? it was awkward.

kind of a "poochie has decided to return to his home planet now" moment

I love how they used to do that, though! Dry and legalistic and then suddenly some bit of personal life peeks in for a second. Best one = wasn't there some offhand suggestion that McCoy was always getting on his ADAs? Which doubles as a handy excuse for why they all look like that.

Also the time Bratt was like "hold on, phone call ... oh, my wife has M.S. Well, better go interview that other suspect..."

mccoy got with every ADA up to serena right?

In the beginning, he is also a notorious womanizer, having had sexual relationships with four of his female assistants.[1]
However, this has often blown up in his face: one such assistant, Diana Hawthorne, is found to have suppressed evidence so they could win a case (L&O: "Trophy"); another, Claire Kincaid, is killed in a car accident (L&O: "Aftershock"). Defense attorneys have used this against him (L&O: "Missing").
In 2007, the Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" segment humorously described the relationship of Jack McCoy with whoever is the current A.D.A. as "teaching cynicism to a supermodel." Since Kincaid's death, McCoy has kept his relationships with assistants professional, although he nurtures friendships with all of them.

'nurture' is a pretty gross word imo

TS: nature vs nurture

when did he ever get with Claire? Claire had a relationship with one of the judges that she clerked for before she became an ADA but I don't think she hooked up with McCoy

wow I'm past help huh

Haha not at all, I totally remember that one. She then resigned in the course of proving that he had harassed Jane Kazmarek's children after a failed affair

SHIT

Jesse Martin's leaving: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080221/tv_nm/law_dc

But he's being replaced by Anthony Anderson? I'd call that an upgrade.

u crazy

o damn i didn't know that!! so long ed green! anthony anderson tho, so it should be fine.

aaaanyway i came to post this, which is some o_O type shit

http://allthingslawandorder.blogspot.com/

uh "i like anthony anderson, tho"

"Claire had a relationship with one of the judges that she clerked for before she became an ADA but I don't think she hooked up with McCoy"

There are a few references to her sleeping with Jack, one of which came in the episode about one of Jack's previous assistants, Diana Hawthorne, with whom he was also sleeping. I thought that Claire was the last one he slept with, what with Jamie being too smart and sensible (plus being totally out-of-his-league gorgeous) and Angie Harmon (I forget her character's name at the moment) abstaining for the same reasons :). I may be wrong--it's hard to remember all 8243 episodes.

I also agree with whoever upthread said that he loved getting just the smallest offhand nugget about their personal lives. That was always so exciting when it happened!

WTF happened to Lara Flynn Boyle's face?
