I’ve got pictures and everything.
The little terrorists I’ve been baby-sitting completely drained my Muse and me so even if I had any ideas, I’m incapable of writing a story. Therefore I’ll do something else fangirl!obsession related. Since I’m being deprived of other people’s fics and the show itself, to make myself feel better, I chose some of my favorite WMC moments:
Episode 1:
++ The Boxer talks on the phone with Tom and CRASH! Theresa Woo falls onto her car. That scene made me realize I’m so gonna enjoy the show. Also? That crash sounds mighty awesome in Dolby surround 5.0 (or whatever) sound.
++ Cindy awkwardly fumbles back to her desk when she sees Ecklie approaching. My love for her started right there.
Episode 2:
++ Lindsay and her rendition of the ‘the butt master’ line. It caused much rwd/play action.
++ After seeing the dead bodies on the train:
Lindsay: I wish I had a getaway box for this.
Awesome line.
++ In the bathroom scene, Cindy talks about Boyce’s police record:
Lindsay: I didn’t get a hit on him.
Cindy: Canada. He was arrested for assaulting a police officer. Well, okay, technically, a mountie.
Hee. It made me giggle.
Episode 3:
++ First scene, the girls walk down the sidewalk towards the crime scene and after brief discussion about coffee and kitten-saving EMTs:
Lindsay: You gave him my phone number? Ah, pimp!
I just love it.
++ At the said crime scene, Cindy is milking for info:
Cindy: Did you know that the crime desk assignment came with a pepper spray key chain and a police scanner? It’s like my new TiVo; I can’t turn it off.
Lindsay [in one of the fabulous displays of that OMG! Southern accent]: Chowhatareyoudoingheresocializin’whenthere’spotentialevidencetreefeetbehindyooouuu? Just... *swoon*
Episode 4
++ The scene where Lindsay displays ‘defensive sarcasm’ when talking about her date with Simon The Kitten Guy? She totally channeled Sandra Bullock there and I love her for it. Sometimes they seem to me like long lost sisters.
++ Tom descends to the bullpen after Lindsay’s public announcement about her love life and asks why the councilman’s mother was strip-searched:
Lindsay: No one was strip-searched. Unless Jacobi got a little freaky behind my back. He does have that Golden Girls fetish...
Episode 5
++ The ‘You wanna mess with me?!” scene. Pure hotness. I totally jumped out of my seat when Lindsay decked that guy. And then her screaming match with Tom? The woman is pure badass gold.
Lindsay: What the hell did you do that for?
Tom: Are you kidding me?!
Lindsay: I was about to break him.
Tom: In HALF!
Damn right!
Episode 6
++ First scene. Lindsay in bed. Nekkid. I do not care about the specifics and details behind reasons why she’s nekkid, I just choose to enjoy the fact that she is. Thankyouverymuch.
++ After the ‘QB stands for quarterback’ comment from Lindsay:
Jacobi: You must be the pride of Texas.
Jacobi is my hero.
++ When Heather brings her class to visit the homicide department and Lindsay gets all ick!cuties around the kids:
Lindsay: Hey, who wants to see A GUN?
Kids: Me! Me! Me!
Obviously, both Boxer and I went to the same communication-with-children-under-7 years old school. Not that I go around showing kids my gun, but… yeah, you get the picture.
Episode 7
++ At the “House of lamps, lamps and more lamps” crime scene, girls talk about the incident and Cindy just happens to be sitting on a forklift:
Lindsay: Tell me you didn’t drive this here.
Cindy: Please. I drove Maggie, my little red car.
How adorable is that girl? I mean, really!
++ After Lindsay questions Cindy about how she managed to meet Paul’s son in the short time between the crime scene meeting and Papa Joe’s:
Cindy: Please, don’t give me the laser vision; it makes me really nervous.
And then:
Cindy: All right, I wasn’t gonna say anything before because this is going to sound really really bad but it actually isn’t so just hear me out. Jamie got into my car at the crime scene.
[Mama] Claire: You went off with a total stranger?! Have we taught you nothing?
Mama Claire will whoop yo ass!
++ The crucial scene. I say the subtext turned into maintext riiiight aaabout here:
Jacobi: Why do you hang out with this girl?
Lindsay: Some women just lose all sense of reality in the face of cuteness.
And yes, Cindy is made of cute. *glee*
[Sorry, lost this screencap in the process of everything.]
++ The now legendary elbow kick.
Episode 8
++ Heather comes to the station to help with the interview.
Lindsay [deadpan]: You brought a bunny.
++ The “You can call me Lindsay” scene. Just aw.
++ Gotta love a woman who’s capable of such a multitask - handcuffing, the elbow move and talking on the phone with your ex’s current without missing a beat.
++ After finding the healer whose protection bracelet was found on the victim’s body, Lindsay and Tom come to her ‘office’ and meet the healer’s son.
Son no.1: Can I help you?
Lindsay: Yeah. We’re looking for the witch.
I just love the way she said that. Plus, the ‘Oooh, I’m so scared’ gesture? Priceless.
++ Final scene; girls at the diner. Lindsay is sad, but our perky reporter knows how to make her smile.
Cindy: Well if it makes you feel any better, I want to be just like you [beat] when I grow up.
Yeah. It’s love.
Episode 9
Haven’t seen it yet [hold for the collective gasp] but if episode 10 is all I’m gonna get and after a long wait, then I’ll just hold off with the episode and then bask in it’s gayness as a dessert, hopefully this week.
