One of my absolute least favorite tropes is the serial killer. They always, always want to romanticize him and make him out to be handsome, super intelligent, charismatic. I absolutely detest that. It's statistically dishonest and it's insulting to victims of serial killers. I love watching Blue Bloods and SVU but as soon as I realize the story is about a serial killer, I change the channel.

I love the imaginary scenarios! They're always so funny. I really don't think the show is going there--yes, that would be devastating for Ava. I thought she looked different!

That was *fans self* really effing hottt. I really hope so. I love this show.

I was stunned when I saw that. How could you be so blithely unaware of the risk? I have stayed on good terms with nearly all my exes (child of a nasty divorce, I didn't want to repeat that pattern) so yes, it's possible. A couple of them were kind of toxic though so I didn't bother pursuing a friendship afterward. Ludo and Morgan seem to have great chemistry--and more importantly, respect for each other.

I've said this before here but one of my memories of Button's commentary is when he was commentating during 1991 US Nationals. Tonya Harding, being more of an athletic jumper than the Sasha Cohen-types he typically preferred, with their exquisite posture, etc. probably wasn't one of his favorites. But he was so excited when she landed the 3A--maybe even more than she was! I just loved his aristocratic tones "Good girl!...How terrific!" He knew how important that jump was for women's FS. What a sad week for all of us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIGoWGjetog

You don't think this Franks is also a misogynistic sexist pig? I cannot stand the way he talks to Lala. In one of the earliest episodes (I can't remember exactly which one, IMDB doesn't help), he accuses her of wanting to sleep with Gibbs in really gross, inappropriate language.

I had a feeling after Alysa's FS that Amber would take gold. As thrilled as I am that Alysa is back and that she's skating for the right reasons (it broke my heart when she said that she'd hated skating before--they didn't talk about it but it looks as though the rumors about her dad being an unbearable skating parent have some truth to them)--she still skates a little juniorishly to me. Amber's presence and skills just seem more refined and polished and "special" to me. Just my opinion, of course. I'm loving Sarah Everhardt and I LOVED the Viking program by Sonja Hilmer! What fun!

Guess what???? I'M GOIN' TO WORLDS!!!!!!!!! I bought tickets last week (women's SP, men's SP and FS and the Gala. I wanted to get the women's FS but for some reason I couldn't get a single ticket--I may try again). And I just booked the hotel, right smack in the middle of Boston, just a few blocks from Boston Commons. When I'm not watching skating, I'll be wandering around Boston exploring history. I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

Thank you!

Can someone explain to me what is the difference between an ADA and a deputy DA? In SVU Barba et al. are ADAs but in Blue Bloods, Erin is a deputy DA. Are they the same thing or what? I thought that might have been a gentle tease at the original French series. Well...except for Napoleon...but then he was actually Corsican, n'est-ce pas? I will say, in the Middle Ages, the French Army was legendary, which is why is was such a big deal the few times it was defeated (Agincourt, the Battle of the Golden Spurs).

I realize this thread is years old but I literally LOLed at this: "the sailor in a Village People cover band was murdered! Grab your gear!" Well done! 😂

There is definitely something suspicious about Tom. (IMO.)

It was horrifying. And felt very real. Great episode.

And his sheepish "Yes, ma'am." My only problem with Kasie is that she isn't Abby, who I really loved. But Kasie's all right. The mothership does the '70s really well. Ephemera, where Bishop and Torres cosplayed as long-lost '70s lovers, is a favorite episode of mine.

10+ years ago, I lived in an older NYC building with thin walls. Someone new moved in next door and the resident played two specific songs--over and over and over. I was going crazy. After months of this, I finally knocked on her door--she was actually really sweet about it and apologized, saying "music is all I have." I later found out she was in witness protection--she'd flipped on someone in her bad neighborhood, done the right thing and now she was living in a place where she had no friends. I felt really bad but--there's a reason they torture people by playing the same music over and over. So I get it. I was a little surprised Pool Marine (or Pool Sailor) got so aggressive, so quickly just because a ballad came on over the jukebox. Seems a bit of an overreaction. The cinematography of this show is gorgeous. The mothership is so sterile-looking, notwithstanding those orange walls, but this show gets in some beautiful shots. I even love the opening credits sequence with that side shot of the water surface at the very end. I usually hate pilots--they're typically too heavy on the exposition (cf., the Friends pilot, with Ross telling Phoebe "stop cleaning my aura!" UGH. No actor can make s*** like that sound good).. If you can believe it, after watching the Game of Thrones pilot, I wasn't interested and skipped the rest of the season. It wasn't until a friend told me it was somewhat inspired by the Wars of the Roses that I was intrigued.
