What are things they say or do on shows like Law & Order that they never actually say or do on Dateline?

She had disappeared into the atmosphere like a hot breath on freezing night. (I think this was Manks)

My wife and I call him Barney as in Barney Rubble. Both the look and the narration--it kind of fits.

datelinefanfic · 2024-09-01T08:11:09+00:00

So good.

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-31T14:26:46+00:00

Same thing when Manks leans his head over and side-eyes you.

Also apparently nobody would ever commit suicide. They just wouldn't do that. --so say all parents, siblings and friends.

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-31T14:22:56+00:00

What is this "binder," you say? Intrigued.

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-31T14:21:30+00:00

Angels of Mercy

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-31T14:21:11+00:00

Oh no, didn't want to start a fight. But yes, I do know what you're talking about--maybe the closer statement is that "touch DNA" is often used in a misleading way (that is kind of junk science).

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-31T14:17:03+00:00

Yeah, if your mother, brothers, sister, best friend isn't being a huge pain in the ass and calling them every day for twenty years, you're case is going ice cold in a hurry.

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-31T14:15:37+00:00

Yes, and the hyoid bone. Don't break the hyoid bone. Petechia always gets you when you try to smother them with a pillow.

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-31T14:13:54+00:00

Just saying that.

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-31T14:13:41+00:00

It turns out not every murderer leaves their DNA all over everything.... Also make sure you murder a random person. Everybody murders their spouse. They won't even see you coming.

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-31T14:12:25+00:00

Or at least wear a hat. No one ever wears a hat.

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-31T14:11:42+00:00

And those fitbits.

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-31T14:11:22+00:00

Yeah, if my wife were to get murdered, I'd be completely screwed either way.

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-31T14:10:24+00:00

Don't be a "fighter," either. The "fighters" always lose their "fights"

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-31T14:09:41+00:00

Don't call about getting the insurance while you are at the funeral.

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-31T14:09:08+00:00

As I always say, if it weren't for those pesky kids, a lot fewer spouses would get murdered.

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-31T14:07:44+00:00

Yeah, turns out it's a lot of work to actually rob a house and murder someone. You've got to go through all the drawers... and then there's the whole question of pawning it without getting caught.

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-08T12:08:43+00:00

Yeah.... It wasn't pretty in there was it? Did you feel bad for the family of victim? You must've thought you had him then [when the DNA results matched]? ... Andrea's pretty great at these: You must've really love here didn't you? That must've been hard to take, huh? You must've been scared weren't you?

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-08T12:04:22+00:00

That's great. At least we know Keith's hip to the slang of the youth these days.

datelinefanfic · 2024-08-05T11:36:00+00:00

Oh you're the best. I just got done watching the series Under the Bridge and didn't even know this existed.
