Let's play a game!

[perpetual_motion]

It's called, "Gimmie a fandom, some characters, and any specifics you want, and I'll write you comment fic!"

Fun game, yeah? Have at it, folks! You'll keep me entertained as I continue to rebuild my iTunes. Did I mention I deleted 23 gigs of music? Because I totally did. Because I am a fucking idiot.

Damn Ballard, Sheppard and Falsone to a thousand firey deaths. And getting rid of Kay? What the hell? What. The. Hell? She was too awesome for words. And clearly too awesome for the show.

The whole Luther Mahoney thing just kinda felt weird, it seemed to mess up the feel of the show. And since Tim was my fave by far, it was hard to see anything that drew attention away from him.

Sorry for the rant, I just got really into the show in the last year, watching the DVDs, but the fandom seems long dead. Thanks again for the fic.

I don't mind talking H: LotS at ALL. It was probably the first time I watched a show and went, "HOLY SHIT YES." It's just...god, the last couple of seasons are the exact example of why execs getting pissy is SUCH a bad idea. Everything went to shit in seasons 6 and 7, and to make Mikey look like a dirty cop. WHAT. NOT IN GEE'S HOUSE. NOT EVER.

Howard was and is one of the most phenomenal female characters in all of television. Honestly. She was fucking AWESOME. Ballard? Bah. Sheppard. She WISHES. Meghan was certainly on par with Howard, but that was because they were there at the same time, so no worries in fucking that up, you know?

Have you read the book it's all based on? It's phenom. And it's no wonder they got Belzer to play Munch. He's based off a guy named Landsman, and he's just...oh, god, he's just BELZER. With A BADGE.

[Pardon my capslock of happy. It's been awhile since I've had the chance to fangasm on Homicide.]

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!
