Just went back and watched some more because I also have longstanding crushes on Tim and Kay. Among them they have almost every flavor of what attracts me in people. *has no appropriate icon*

I just spent 25 minutes watching H:LOTS clips. *shakes fist at you* I had to! I could not stop! Junior Bunk took it downtown!

But oh my god, Pembleton. Brilliant.

I almost included "Junior Bunk took it downtown!" but decided to focus on Frank instead.

Junior Bunk. Junior Bunk. Junior Bunk.

I wish I had found the Frank-Kellerman exchange in "Fire" - "Fun is my god, Frank. I worship fun!"

How was he so awesome? And why isn't Andre Braugher on every show ever?

Oh, my God. I love that monologue in "A Many Splendored Thing" SO MUCH. One of my favourite scenes of anything ever. "Virtue isn't virtue until it's been slammed against vice." And then, at the end of the episode, you have Bayliss walking down the red-light district in the killer's jacket. Maaaaaaan.

Wow, that last scene is like something out of a play. It's very theatrical. The caffeine monologue too. Does Andre Braugher do a lot of stage work?

Yes, actually, he does. One summer while Homicide was still filming, he played Henry in Henry V for Shakespeare in the Park (NYC). I didn't see it -- I did and do live too far away -- but I remember reading about it.

(And if you think about it, the theatricality is something that fits well into Pembleton: he comes from Jesuits, and has strong classical leanings. He can recite Latin in rolling tones like a churchbell. Of course he'd be theatrical! Which is why his post-stroke period is so remarkable, because he loses that in a hundred tiny ways.)

As Vee says, yeah, he's done quite a bit of stage work. He is also AWESOME and I wish he would show up on more good things, because he is AWESOME.

Actually, the episode "Three Men and Adena" is filmed almost like a stage play. It's one of the most brutally intense hours of television I've ever watched. It's amazing. I highly recommend HLotS.

when homicide was still on, every year when they announced the emmy nominations and andre braugher's name wasn't there, my mom and i both pitched a righteous fit. (my mom was a frank pembleton fangirl, and frank and tim were my otp before i knew what one was.) i need to get my hands on some dvd's and remind myself why homicide used to be my favoritest show.

Yeah, they finally gave it to him for season 6, but that was too little, too late.

BEST DAMN SHOW ON (NETWORK) TELEVISION (ret.).
