Holy Fucking Shit.
Okay, so I was offline most of today. Hopped onto Jabber, and beechercreature started squeeing and was all HAVE YOU HEARD? and I'm all, HUH?
I think I'm in shock.
Seriously.
Even after peeking at *eleven* different blogs confirming what I presumed to be a HUGE DIRTY TEASE, I'm still... HUH?
So, my flist is flailing their asses off... the perfect response, of course. FUCKING-A RIGHT. I'm loving it! More glee! More flail! More SQUEE!
And for the naysayers realists -- for those of you out there and you know who you are... yeah, so historically, Baer shafts us all, again and again.
But.
Even if it's one scene, that's one more scene than we've had for seven years, so who fucking cares.
What an awesome way to start the New Year. And as I'm reading through my flist's flailings and squees, I'm getting all bouncy and buoyed up by the news. wrstlgirl said it well - LJ is BEAMING!
And humping Lee and windmilling our arms and bouncing and clapping and generally getting to have serious fannish excitement over this so in conclusion: YES. FUCKING YESSSSSS.
I hope there's a lot of behind the scenes stuff like oh pictures and vid and you know Meloni fake kisses Marish all the time, and with Lee it doesn't even have to be fake. Awww, yeah.
So, what this casting decision tells me is that one of the stipulations of Leeloni's - er, Meloni's contract negotiations was that Lee be on SVU. Let's hope he stipulated a particular number of sweatyhot interrogation scenes too, after a tie tuck, a perp slam and some closeface staring and breathing.
Oh, it's going to be ELECTRIFYING.
(Dum dum dum de doo, it's electric!)
ETA:
And it makes me really gleeful that this extends far past LJ and our corner of Oz fandom. I've been getting Google alerts about every few minutes spreading the news. That really makes me beam. > :D < <-- see?
I approve!!
