Oh my Lord "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets" is a truly godly book. You couldn't write fiction like that if you tried. I have yet to work up the metaphoric balls to read "The Corner" by the same author; I've heard it's both better AND more depressing.
Even the little things got messed up as the show went on. I was listening to some episode commentary, and apparently all of the creators hated the new opening, and God knows I did. I couldn't even watch all of season 7, I just found episode descriptions and skipped to Bayliss-heavy episodes.
I found Kellerman annoying at first, but he definitly grew on me. He never reached Crossetti-level in terms of a partner for Lewis, but they were generally a good pair, and I was impressed by his performance during the suicide plot line.
Howard was pure unadulterated awesome. Aside from being badass, I will certainly never say no to femmey-looking butch ladies. Megan was pretty cool toe. As for the actress who plays Ballard, have you ever seen her in a role where she's not a shrew? I'm just curious, because in both The Wire and Rescue Me, she was just as annoying.
Richard Belzer is definitly great, one of the reasons I watched SVU for so long, until it got fully taken over by STABLER SMASH. Homicide Munch and SVU Munch are different entities in my mind, but both are great. And I've read some pretty good fic putting Brian Cassidy in Homicide, it seems like he would click there better then he ever did in SVU. When he wasn't busy being sexy as all get out in Oz.
Thanks for giving me an outlet for Homicide fangasm!
