Oh, dear, what have we done? [A bit of L&O]

[perpetual_motion]

I was chatting with amazonqueenkate while catching up on L&O, and I am fascinated by Mike Cutter in 18.10, wherein he and Connie have a really good argument about Connie's hotness. The thing that fascinates me most is that Mike seems completely at a loss about WHY it's so demeaning to Connie to have him exploit her that way. Not lost in a "big manly cave man" way, but more in a, "I'm a very analytical person and don't quite make the connection way."

And this, somehow, has caused amazonqueenkate and I to squee over a possible High School AU, wherein Mike is just awkward and everything comes out wrong, but his mock trial coach, Mr. McCoy, is really cool and gets him. ANd so on and so forth.

And Van Buren would totally be the principal.

I am so continualy behind in episodes. Nevertheless, you absolutely have to write more. Because seriously, Mike Cutter and Jack are just sparking on screen.

Well, you've been a little busy. [And I must say, Milo was absolutely beautiful, especially for being so...fresh [that's not the right word, but it's the one I have].]

It's already spawned into a mess. Mike rooms with Ed and Lupo. Van Buren is the headmistress. Mike tries to hit on Connie and just FAILS. But Connie finds him charming because he comes up later and tries to apologize.

And now we're talking agonizing moments in Hot Teacher/Hot Student relationships. Because Jack really would try to be good.
