A note for those interested... [stunt

...I've posted an end piece to Chapter 2, Part 2 of Sixth-Date Rule. Any thoughts/suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated.

I'm probably going to post it up on ff.net pretty soon, because I'm about as satisfied as I'm likely to be with it.

On another note, why is Milena Govich leaving Law and Order? She's only been there a year! I liked her; I liked Nina. I was happy that we finally had a female detective and now she's gone. I am not happy about this.

And she's being replaced by Jeremy Sisto? I don't particularly dislike him, but he was JUST in the season finale. He played the despicable defense attourney. They should at least wait a few episodes so it's not like he just strolled over to the precinct and changed clothes.

I hope Nina at least quits. If she dies, I will be quite upset.

Also, rumor mill is currently telling us that Jack will be moving up to DA, which doesn't make a lick of sense because Jack despises playing politics. Oy. At least Connie will still be there.

However, that does raise the interesting question of who will replace him. Of course, it would be lovely if we could bring back Ben Stone or Paul Robinette, but Robinette was a public defender when he last appeared on L&O, so I don't think that's going to happen.

You know, if bringing back Ben isn't at all an option, I'd vote to bring back Tracy Kibre from Trial by Jury. I've seen a grand total of one episode of TBJ, but just from that one episode I've come to love Tracy. She was an interesting and watchable character, and I'd love to see her again.

Though that would mean a female ADA and a female EADA. No wonder they had to get rid of Milena Govich - male demographic wouldn't respond well to four women and two men in the main credits. ;)

[EDIT] So. Cold Case. Don't normally catch it, but it's on TNT after my L&O reruns. And this particular episode, about a supposed cult-related suicide, is starring Johnny Whitworth, better known to me as Jake Berkeley of CSI: Miami.

And while he's on Cold Case, I notice something about him that I don't notice as much on Miami...

...hot damn does he look good. I'd join his cult any day. XD

It's possible for Paul (Richard Brooks has returned for several guest shots), but bringing back Ben is NOT an option. There's some very bad blood between Michael Moriarty and Dick Wolf, and he isn't in the best shape physically (it seems as though he's had a stroke).

Oh, well. At least a girl can dream.

:( That's a shame.

Well, once Fred Thomson's campaign starts, networks won't be allowed to play reruns he's in, so perhaps Ben's seasons will get a little more airplay then they've had recently.

It is annoying that the Ben seasons don't get much airplay, but I have them all on DVD and can watch them anytime I want! : )

That does solve the problem. :) I have one or two of his episodes from iTunes, but I'm a mite too cheap/broke to spring for the entire DVD set.

It took me a while to get them all - I was a bit too broke to spring for DVD sets as well, but I had to have them. So now I have seasons 1-5 (the four Ben seasons and the first one with Jack).

I'd have to say that they're one of my most cherished possessions. : )

*raises hand* I particularly dislike Jeremy Sisto, does that count? But then again, I didn't see the finale, so that should help. Still seems like a spectacularly bad bit of casting, though. And I get upset when criminals pop up on multiple CSI shows...

And wait, what is Jack now if he's not a DA? What's the difference there? I am ignorant of most things L&O related and need you to explain everything.

Yes. Yes, it counts. And he was particularly vile and hateable in the finale, so it's going to take me a *long* time to adjust to him as one of the good guys.

Jack is an EADA now, or Executive Assistant District Attorney. So far as I can tell (and my own knowledge of the American criminal justice system is a bit rusty, so don't quote me on this), the EADA is one step down from the DA. They oversee all the other district lawyers and act as the DA in the DA's absense.

Ah, okay. I was under the impression that all the public defenders were called DA's and that ADA was reserved for the secondary attorneys like ~~Jack's revolving door of brainy beauties~~ Connie and such. Apparently I do not pay enough attention to the courtroom scenes in SVU.

*snicker* True, that.

SVU's courtroom scenes wouldn't really tell you anything about how it all works, since the EADAs (and the DAs, for that matter) almost never show up there. Jack was there a couple of times in Season 1, I think, and Tracy's appeared once more recently, but other than that it's the Alex and/or Casey Show.

Oh, whoops, and Sixth Date Rule - yes, that's a good ending.

Good to know, thank you!

Oh, no! OMG I *loved* Nina!!! Why is Milena leaving??? ;_;

I read in TV Guide this morning that Fred Thompson is leaving too, although I knew that was coming, since he's considering entering the '08 race. And I believe I had read about it a few months earlier that he was probably leaving.

At least Jack and Ed will still be there (God willing!!).

Oh, and in case you're interested, both Sam Waterston and Robert Sean Leonard will be presenters at the Tony Awards on Sunday. I read it last night and practically squee-ed with fangirlish joy. (:

I've heard nothing of why Milena's leaving; I just know that she is. I figured Fred Thomson was on his way out once I heard he might be considering a presidential run - hard to reconcile the two schedules.

Of course, what depresses me most about this is that, once the campaign ads start running, they won't be allowed to play L&O reruns that he's in, since all candidates have to get equal screentime. Yes, that does mean that the earlier seasons (including the Ben episodes, which get barely any airplay) will run much more often, but it also means my day will have that much less Serena Southerlyn in it. And that makes me sad.

*squeebounce* Oooh! Thank you for informing me! I know what I'm doing Sunday evening...

Yeah I saw about Jack being promoted to DA too. That would be wrong on so many levels. Only if like, they had Jack as DA for one day and he screwed up so much that they replaced him with someone right for the role. Because then that would be funny. The show hasn't been funny in a long time.

*giggle* That'd certainly be interesting. See, if Jack did end up DA, I'd think it much more likely that he'd just resign or head into private practice, rather than actually taking the job.

Hmmm. We shall have to see how it all plays out.
