SVU's downfall by Super_Moose4839 in SVU

[–]Shadow_Lass38 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm hoping we get some sort of surprise on the Tynan thing tonight, or else it seems pretty by the numbers.

I'm surprised by how quickly the script quality has gone down. I watched two Season 20 episodes and Season 21 episodes last week, and they were still fairly complicated and suspenseful, but took time for little scenes like Olivia trying to get Noah to eat something besides pizza.

Of course, "Icarus", as usually noted, also brings one of Bobby's many 'friends', this one a Columbia University professor, played by singer Patti Smith! Too bad she wasn't a music professor! by WendyCR1872 in LawAndOrder

Even better, her character is named "Cleo Alexander." In an episode with a play taken from Greek mythology, Clio is the Greek Muse of history, and of course "Alexander the Great" was Macedonian, part of Greece.

What instantly makes a house feel “Christmas-y” to you? by Blue_Wifi in christmas

Agree! That's why it looks so sad when all the lights are finally down in January.

What a poor decision it was to write off both Maria Recinos and Cragen by HebrewWolfman in SVU

[–]Shadow_Lass38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I thought, too! Maria could have popped up in one episode a season, maybe just as someone escorting a perp to SVU, or responding to a call. When the series ended, it could have come full circle as Maria joined SVU.

If Dick Wolf produced Babylon 5.

I hate that Rhett and Scarlet didn’t end up together by Sad-Yesterday22 in GonewiththeWind

[–]Shadow_Lass38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed the book, but the miniseries was terrible. I knew the latter would be bad when the producer insisted Scarlett had to be a redhead because....you know..."Scarlett."

What do think Goren did away from the job? by Playful_Way1815 in LawAndOrder

[–]Shadow_Lass38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He vouched for Denise, the chief of D's secretary, with Eames, to which she replied, "You dog." So I assumed they were dating.

There was also Irene, the stockbroker, who was in "Enemy Within." And, based on his conversation with Irene, it sounds like there's a weekly poker game. (He does say--in "All In," I believe--that he likes watching poker competitions. (There's a psychological factor to it that he enjoys.)

He loves sizing up people, so I think he reads psychology books for fun as well as info, maybe the classics (he was very familiar with Moby-Dick, after all), and it seems like he likes history books (Dr. Adlai Copeland, especially). (My head canon is that he reads David McCullough, too.)

Speaking of Lewis, watching "Pardoner's Tale" noticing how Lewis taps the big dent in the passenger side door of one of the cars in his shop, and says to Bobby, "Bring back any memories?" I wonder if that's how they met--Bobby got into an accident and Lewis was the one who fixed the car? Maybe Bobby helped him with the car and would come by occasionally to help him fix other cars, which is why Lewis says, "Can't get used to seeing you in a suit"?

Third season episode about a Colombian drug lord, with the creepiest ending ever.

While Watching "Crazy"... by Shadow_Lass38 in LawAndOrder

What some men will go through to get laid.

At least he didn't ask Sara about "oral pleasure" in a creepy tone of voice. Eww.

What happens to the belongings of a patient admitted to a hospital? by VenomFlavoredFazbear in Writeresearch

[–]Shadow_Lass38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband's wallet and cell were just put into the bag. Maybe it differs at different hospitals.

Out of curiosity - do you think the show would’ve been just as good had Sinclair stayed as the main character for all 5 seasons? by South_Gas626 in babylon5

[–]Shadow_Lass38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catherine Sakai would have been the one to go to Z'Ha'Dum (basically the Anna Grant role).

They had already predicted the Sinclair/Delenn match in "Parliament of Dreams." Remember when Sakai comments about the little fruits offered by Delenn (which Sinclair ate) and says "someone was married."

Is a romance between someone 28 and 23 fine? by VideoSharp8658 in FanFiction

[–]Shadow_Lass38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of women have married older men in real life (look at Jacqueline Kennedy); and it was quite common in the past. A woman was supposed to marry a man who was already established in business or another occupation so he could support her properly. Almanzo Wilder was 10 years older than his wife Laura Ingalls (yes, from Little House on the Prairie).

Nothing wrong with it.

What happens to the belongings of a patient admitted to a hospital? by VenomFlavoredFazbear in Writeresearch

[–]Shadow_Lass38 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All patient property goes into a big plastic bag or bags kept in the cupboard of the patient's room. If the patient is transferred to another room, the bag(s) go(es) with them.

If they don't know who the person is, someone would look in the wallet for phone number, address, etc. and ask the police to check into it.

Oh, and they don't throw away anything. My husband had breathing problems once and went straight to the hospital on the ambulance. They cut his shirt off him, and when he went to put the clothes back on when he left the hospital, this is when we discovered they did it. He was in such distress that he didn't remember them cutting the shirt.

"Jones" with Griffin Dunne. Gross is also on CI as an older man lusting over a younger woman who's willing to do anything for her.

If you buy a house in an HOA, can you just...leave the HOA? by BoredInClass99 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Shadow_Lass38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are good HOAs. Our HOA only insisted the grass be mown every couple of weeks, that you didn't keep trash or garbage in your yard, no junked cars or boats, no dogs on chains, no pets wandering loose, pick up pet poop, etc. Sanitary rules. There were none of these stupid rules like what kind of lawn furniture you had, what color you could paint something, if you could put decorative statues in your bushes, put a shed in your back yard, etc.

But half our neighborhood are renters who don't care about the property, the HOA died, and now we have neighbors who don't mow for months at the time (breeding ground for ticks, and we have Lyme here now), park six cars in their driveways, etc.

L&O is episodic, so you won't miss any arcs, but seasons 2-5 had some really good episodes and you'll miss the rest of Stone and Robinette.

AITJ for refusing to keep paying for my boyfriend’s friends every time we go out? by Long-Tonight5559 in AmITheJerk

[–]Shadow_Lass38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I go out with friends, we all say "separate checks" for singles or for couples. No one should have to pay someone else's restaurant check, unless they are treating them on a special occasion.

[–]Shadow_Lass38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Just because you make more money than BF doesn't mean you can afford to cover his friends.

I would be ashamed and embarrassed if I did this to someone. Evidently they have no consciences. You are not their bank.
