(It's like leaving a comment in my own journal!)

1. I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAY ABOUT LOST. Including, um, I may actually be producing a flowchart? BECAUSE I AM INSANE.
1a. There's an entire episode where the plot is that Desmond Hume got blown out of a hatch and he's naked in the woods. I'M JUST SAYING.

2. LAW & ORDER ORIGINAL. OH MY GOD. So, true story: I've basically been on this Mike/Connie bandwagon for like SINCE LAST YEAR BASICALLY, in which I decided, "Oh, new D.A.? Oh, old assistant can now act? THEY SHOULD HAVE SEX." And yeah, I've basically been reading into 95% of their scenes way more than I should have been since that time.

THIS? HOWEVER? HELLO, NOT SO MUCH WITH THE DEEP THINKING. The boss was away, and the kids got drunk at a bar and flirted a whole lot. IT'S THE MIKE AND CONNIE SHOW, AND NOT IN MY HEAD.

I therefore use this icon ironically.

(Cake!)

1. I feel like I made a good trade, wrt skipping most of it, because it's a lot more interesting now than I remember it being...uh, three years ago. And I like all of the new people better than the old people (Juliet! Daniel! Desmond and Penny! Miles! Poor, doomed Charlotte!). But, otoh, I FEEL LIKE I AM MISSING SOME THINGS. LIKE, THE PLOT.

1a. ...excuse me, I have some urgent business to attend to.

2. YAY THE MIKE AND CONNIE SHOW.

(I had this hilarious mental image of Jack going off to campaign and coming back after Mike and Connie have completely trashed the D.A.'s office with a wild, drunken party. Like, underwear hanging from the ceiling fans, beer bottles everywhere. He gives the two of them a Stern Lecture, and they're standing there both looking sheepish and like they've been dragged through a hedge backwards, cutting eyes at each other when Jack's not looking.

And then when you think about it...NOT ENTIRELY UNLIKE WHAT PROBABLY HAPPENED AFTER THE ACTUAL EPISODE. MIKE AND CONNIE TOTALLY HAD THE LAWYER VERSION OF A FRAT

(And then after they leave this Stern Lecture feeling ashamed and stuff, Jack smiles to himself and says, "Oh, to be young again." BECAUSE LET'S FACE IT: you almost feel bad for Mike, having to clean up after THE WHIRLWIND OF LEGAL ARROGANCE AND WOMANIZING that was John J. McCoy, Jr. He's going to lecture them about not fucking your colleagues and messing with professional ethics? Pfft.

MIKE AND CONNIE TOTALLY HAD THE LAWYER VERSION OF A FRAT PARTY.

Does that mean they... wait for it... wait for it... DRANK FROM THE KEG OF GLORY?!)

I can only hope that Jack McCoy running for public office = mandatory campaign event appearances by his staff = THE MIKE AND CONNIE SHOW: FORMAL WEAR EDITION.
