    The show tanked during S2. It's no coincidence that this was when they
    decided to make the two main characters into a gay couple.

    To be clear, this is *not* another rant about degeneracy on TV. I am
    speaking of this particular work. It's important to the story that an
    angel and a demon *become friends*, choosing that personal connection
    over what they're told. It's a choice they make. If they just have the
    hots for each other, it makes no sense for immaterial beings *and*
    hollows their choice. I'd say the same thing if one looked female.

    What did you watch?

    Nothing interesting.

    I will do a mutli-day catch up. Let's see if I can remember what I
    watched. Over the last few days I watched:


    Silver Linings Playbook (DVR) 2012 movie directed by David O. Russell
    and starring an ensemble cast including Bradley Cooper and Jennifer
    Lawrence. Cooper plays a man freshly out of a mental hospital who moves
    back home with his parents. His father played by Robert DeNiro is a superstitious gambling addict. Lawrence plays a neighbor who has her
    eyes on Cooper, but Cooper is obsessed with his ex-wife who has a
    restraining order against him. It's an OK movie.


    American Hustle (4K disc) 2013 movie directed by David O. Russell and
    starring an ensemble cast including Bradley Cooper and Jennifer
    Lawrence. Cooper plays an FBI agent in the late 70s who coerces a pair
    of con artists played by Christian Bale and Amy Adams into entrapping a politician played by Jeremy Renner. Lawrence plays Bale's wife, and she
    is way more trouble than she's worth.


    The Boys (Amazon streaming) "The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man
    Called Mother's Milk" - Penultimate episode. Can't say much about this without getting into spoiler territory. I am curious to see how they
    wrap things up in the finale.


    Law & Order - "Liberty" - Season finale.
    Law & Order: SVU - "Monster" - Season finale.


    The Punisher: One Last Kill (Disney+) One shot episode of the Punisher
    written by the Punisher himself. The plot has the grieving widow/mother
    of several of Punisher's victims hiring an army of killers to take him
    out. This forces the Punisher to punish everyone for trying to kill
    him. There is a scene in the third Austin Powers movie where Austin
    Powers' dad berates a henchman for daring to even consider attacking him
    and tells the henchman to just fall down on his own. I immediately
    thought of that scene while watching The Punisher, when some random
    henchman decided to attack the Punisher. As a matter of fact, this guy
    didn't even rate henchman. He was random thug #4. Didn't random thug
    #4 just see the Punisher get thrown off a building, and as he was
    falling make two head shots of the guys who threw him before landing unscathed? Didn't random thug #4 see the Punisher grab some other thug
    and use him as a human shield? And now random thug #4 thinks he's got a
    shot at the Punisher?!? Needless to say, the Punisher killed random
    thug #4 with extreme punishment.

    Obsession (theatrical) New horror movie written and directed by Curry
    Barker. The film follows a young man who buys a novelty toy that grants
    the buyer one wish. As it turns out it works, but with a monkey's paw
    effect. The young man wishes that a woman he likes would love him more
    than anyone else. She then becomes obsessed with him in ways that I
    can't say due to spoilers. I have been seeing this movie get rave
    reviews online, but I'm still unsure what to make of it. I can't shake
    the feeling it was heavily edited to remove a character or subplot.
    That in and of itself doesn't make a movie bad, but it just felt like
    certain things were glossed over or clearly missing. For example, the
    movie established early on that multiple people had purchased the
    novelty toy and made a wish that went bad. But nothing ever came of
    that. I can easily see there being a character who also made a wish who
    the protagonist joined forces with, and then for whatever reason that character was cut from the movie. And speaking of the protagonist,
    maybe it was just me, but I did not like the protagonist. At all. And
    that can really bring a movie down if you don't like the main character.
    Because if you don't like the main character, you don't really care
    about all the bad things that the newly obsessive girlfriend is doing to
    him, especially when it was his fault in the first place.

    The two leads were supposed to be fairly ordinary looking. If I recall correctly, Jennifer Lawrence's character is supposed to be decades older
    and overweight. Cooper should have looked like, well, the way he looked
    at the beginning of Limitless the year before. I saw this once in
    theater and then again on tv within the last two years or so.

    Saw this in theater. It's supposed to be ABSCAM. I would have preferred straight drama. The comedy was farscical and felt forced.

    Wow. Even for tv, the political machinations were absurd. Baxter,
    inexplicably, is up for re-election, and he's vulnerable to an evil
    political rival who somehow has White House ties. Behind the scenes,
    BECAUSE PLOT, the career of a Nathan Jessup-like admiral is being
    protected and he's up for promotion. Why? It is not stated. The
    political types know he is corrupt, and inconveniently, committed murder
    to cover up corruption.

    They still want him promoted. How does this not hurt the president of
    the Un8ted States?

    The murder victim is a vice admiral. How the hell is this even being investigated by Riley, Walker, and Brady? The FBI are already
    investigating the corruption and the murder should be investigated under federal law, if not under the UCMJ since the corruption is official
    duty.

    To keep this guy's promotion viable (Huh? After a murder trial?), the
    unseen evil actors corrupt the trial court judge to make bad legal
    decisions by promising a seat on an appellate court.

    Get this: Baxter confronts the chief judge about how the corrupt judge
    ended up assigned to the case. He asked for it! What, in Manhattan,
    court officers aren't randomly assigned to prevent corruption?

    Price ends up making a corrupt deal with the defense, allowing a plea
    down to lesser, inapplicable, charges. When Baxter confronts him, Price
    says he's saving Baxter's career. What dirty deed does Price have to do
    to be fired by Baxter?

    They sort of did that if you consider Hollywood starlet who just stepped
    out of the pages of a fashion magazine the same as decades older and overweight. And you know maybe Cooper looked like a Hollywood actor who forget to shower and shave that morning. Close enough.

    I still associate this movie with "science oven." That was literally
    the only thing I remembered about this movie going into it.

    I think it depends on how much the President cares.

    investigating the corruption and the murder should be investigated under federal law, if not under the UCMJ since the corruption is official
    duty.


    I kept wondering about that. I know the crime took place in New York
    City, but if one officer is accused of killing another officer, from the
    same ship that's docked in that city, maybe the military might want to investigate it. And avoid things like the ship's captain refusing to
    let local law enforcement on the boat.

    But, but, he said he knew about the navy.

    The only explanation is that this particular NYPD precinct has been granted means and methods authority by the New York governor, which, like 5.0 in
    Hawaii and Baywatch in California, gives them superior jurisdiction over all other law enforcement in America, gives them exceptions to the Bill of Rights, and even confers on them international jurisdiction. Look for Walker and Riley to invade a foreign embassy next.

    To keep this guy's promotion viable (Huh? After a murder trial?), the
    unseen evil actors corrupt the trial court judge to make bad legal
    decisions by promising a seat on an appellate court.

    Seems like confirmation to the court would be problematic after making legally nonsensical, obviously biased rulings in a high-profile murder case.

    There were more interesting legal questions over on SUV. Beat cops respond to
    a fender bender and notice the odd-acting driver has a gun on the floorboard
    of the passenger side. They pull him out of the car and put him in cuffs, then discover a kid bound and gagged in his trunk. They arrest him and we immediately jump to a suppression hearing where the defense is questioning the cop who spotted the gun. She asks if he ever entered the defendant's car
    before seeing the gun. The cop says he did not. She then plays a video taken
    by a bystander (for which no foundation has been established and which has not been provided in discovery to the state because Carisi knows nothing about
    it). The judge nevertheless allows it into evidence because this is LAW &
    ORDER and no one gives a shit about how things actually work.

    The video shows the cop's head barely breaking the plane of the open passenger window, thereby proving he entered the defendant's car without a warrant and without probable cause because he hadn't yet seen the gun when his head trespassed 1/2-inch into the car. The judge tosses the gun and everything that flowed from the search of the car, including the boy, and releases the kidnapper.

    So now team SUV has to re-investigate the whole case from scratch and try to nab the guy without any of the car evidence. The guy turns out to be serial killer and they end up tying him to a dozen other child killings.

    My question is, when the judge suppressed the discovery of the boy, does that mean the now-freed boy can't independently identify the killer as the man who took him? Does the boy's status as fruit of the poisoned tree mean that not only his presence in the car trunk is disallowed but he can't even independently accuse his kidnapper of taking him? This is a question I've
    never seen addressed anywhere. My initial instinct would be no, the kid's testimony would still be valid, but who knows? The way the show was written,
    it seemed like they were operating under the assumption that the kid can't legally tell anyone who hurt him, but these shows don't have the best reputation for legal credibility.

    They did show up with an NCIS captain (the Navy equivalent of a full colonel) who had a warrant signed by a JAG judge and ordered the sailors guarding the gangplank to stand aside, which they refused to do. Seems like he would have had a whole bunch of his own people along to arrest any sailor for obstruction and willful failure to obey a lawful order. Instead they just had Brady push past them and dare them to shoot her.

    Neil Gaiman's Scandal DESTROYED Good Omens And The Reviews PROVE It!

    The show tanked during S2. It's no coincidence that this was when they
    decided to make the two main characters into a gay couple.

    To be clear, this is *not* another rant about degeneracy on TV. I am
    speaking of this particular work. It's important to the story that an
    angel and a demon *become friends*, choosing that personal connection
    over what they're told. It's a choice they make. If they just have the
    hots for each other, it makes no sense for immaterial beings *and*
    hollows their choice. I'd say the same thing if one looked female.

    What did you watch?

    Nothing interesting.


    I posted a photo for you on RAT Facebook, showing the cast of only murderers in the building in London.

    Or France. One of those metric countries.

    Oh, keen. The detective is with them. It'll be interesting to see how
    they explain a New York detective traveling with them.
