Mike: "Awaiting your instructions."
My love of good BDSM relationships: ::flail::
Also, this:
[Jack and Mike have just had the discussion about how Mike will agree to a deal because it'll garner Jack an IOU from the feds, which he can then use for a fraud case.]
JACK: "Yours is not the only case on my calendar." [paraphrase]
ME: ::grinning like an idiot::
HUSBAND: "They are not having--"
ME: "Yes, they are."
HUSBAND: "No, they're not."
[After, "Awaiting your instructions."]
HUSBAND: "Quit giggling."
ME: "They so are."
In short: Dear show--PLEASE KEEP BEING THIS AWESOME.
Also, now I want woobie!Cyrus, because he looked so sad after he had to discharge his weapon.
Thank you, L&O for presenting cops shooting a guy for pointing a gun at them and not making it the focus of the show. I have rolled my eyes at way too many shows about "realistic cop drama" where the main point of an episode that has a shooting of someone brandishing a deadly weapon becomes the shooting that I've lost count.
And they always do that, "It was a split-second decision" bullshit. And then there's a distraught wife/daughter/mother/father/son/husband/sister/brother who takes the time to snidely remark that "split-seconds mean a lot to some people" or some other bullshit.
In short, I detest "cop shows" that forget to mention that cops are trained to deal with split-second decisions like when to shoot people. There's a great deal written about cops who do, in fact, overuse their authority with a weapon to put bullets into someone once that person is obviously no longer a threat, and there's little to nothing about the number of cops who make the decision to fire and it is, in fact, the correct decision.
If you'll excuse me, I'm going to rinse off my soapbox and get back to writing the big gay love that is Jack and Mike.
