"Anti-Thesis" Extras

For those of you who have an "aversion" to visual references to SWMNBN or, as she has recently been called, "Ol' Heart In A Box," you may want to avert your eyes now. I'm sorry to those of you who find "her" offensive, but I simply could not help myself; there were just too many good opportunities to let pass me by. Hopefully, the photos and captions of Bobby and Eames; et. al., will make up for it.

"Bright Boy" Extras

I took a break from capturing the dialogue quotes from "Anti-Thesis" to try and finish the "Extras" slideshow for "Bright Boy." Turns out, I can't "force" amusing quips from my tired old brain today, so I'll just go with what I've got. Also turns out, I don't have much to say today by way of a lead-in, so let's just get on with the slideshow, shall we? Hope it makes you smile...if only a little.

"Dead" Extras - Back To Normal...Whatever That Is

Still smarting from the news about the travesty surrounding the USA Network and the proposed casting upheaval at Law & Order CI. For the first time since the furor of Google Alerts began arriving last Friday...and every day since...I don't believe I received a single email today regarding VDO's pending departure.

I still don't know what to believe about all this, but for what it's worth, I "think" that probably bits and pieces of all the "rumors" floating around out there are true. USA most likely did play hard ball in its determination to force changes in the show and no doubt did all those things BASRIC mentioned on her blog. Vincent D'Onofrio is probably "tired" of this character and wants to move on, but his loyalty to Dick Wolf, the show, "Bobby," his fellow actors, and his fans led him to agree to this "compromise;" i.e., Goren lives, but leaves and drops in now and again this season, but eventually fades away...as will this show once he is gone.

As for me, like the "Eagles," I'm "Already Gone." I decided to not wait until next spring when the final Goren episode airs to enact my plan to boycott the USA Network. I stopped watching their network two days ago. I am also boycotting NBC, but that is easy enough. The only show I'm remotely interested in watching on NBC is Sunday Night Football, so I'll get by quite nicely without it.

I have just a couple of other things to mention before I get on to the main reason for this post. First, USA_LawOrderCI is now following me on Twitter. Should I be paranoid or flattered or unimpressed? And, second, what the hell happened to the "Save Goren And Eames" blog that helped spearhead this campaign?

Okay, back to "Dead." (Talk about your irony.) Considering the emotional roller coaster of the past week, it took me a few days to come up with some "possibly" witty captions for my screen caps, but I gave it the old "college try."

"Tuxedo Hill" Extras

When one is royally pissed off at one's employee, the best thing to take one's mind from said "ingrate" is to focus one's energy on something vastly more appealing. That always leads me to Bobby; he has a way of calming me down. And since it is time for the "extras" post, there is a wee bit of humor thrown in to boot.

"Maledictus" Extras

Well, tonight is the much touted Jeff Goldblum debut on Law & Order CI. I've never been a "huge" fan, but have enjoyed some of his work. I did catch a few episodes of his short-lived TV show a couple of years back, but my favorite role was as the wry and sardonic Dr. Ian Malcolm in "Jurassic Park." As I recall, he looked pretty good in that film, too...perhaps the best he's ever looked.

I'm not worried that he is here to "replace" Vincent D'Onofrio on the show, and I won't boycott his episodes because USA, et.al., made such a big fuss over his arrival. Actually, I think USA should have done a "welcoming" campaign similar to what they did for Mary McCormack prior to "In Plain Sight's" debut last year. Hmm, I wonder what kind of pie Goren would have brought Nichols.

Anyway, the way I look at it...the more people who watch...the higher the ratings, which only increases the likelihood of USA extending the number of seasons I'll be able to ogle a certain tall, darkish, handsome, and extremely charmingly quirky Detective Robert Goren. I can definitely get on board with that.

For now, here are some "extras" I captioned from "Maledictus."

"Yesterday" Extras

So, I'm sitting here getting ready to watch "Lost" and trying to not let the stench of my downstairs neighbor's cologne render me physically ill. I swear the guy must bathe in the putrid stuff. I guess he had a "hot" date or something. I mean, he's only in the hallway a couple of seconds, yet evidence of his "aromatic" presence lingers long, long after he's gone.

Ah, I have so, so many pesky "neighbor" stories to share. One of these days I'll get around to it. But for now, it's time to have a little fun with Bobby. Ah, from my rapacious thoughts to God's ear. I'm one of those people who happens to believe in a God who can do absolutely anything, but even He cannot give me Bobby.

But I can give you a few "Extras" from "Yesterday," along with my feeble attempt at humor. Sorry 'bout that.
