Yes, mock me for my obsessions...

I was just on the phone with Mom and mentioned tonight's impending departure of a cast member from Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.

Mom: Is that who it is? I saw the promo where the car blew up and I said "Please don't let it be Munch, I don't know if Kelly can handle it right now."

They alluded to it a bit once, a few episodes after her death. Claire was killed by a drunk driver, and I think he got a rap on the wrist or something. So when Jack went up against a drunk driver, he, er, applied more than his usual zeal, and someone said something like, "What, is it 'This one's for Claire Kincaid'?"

For the record, my favorite second banana is always going to be Angie Harmon. She was one of the few who stood up to Jack and proved herself as his equal in all things, without moralizing or sleeping with him. I liked Claire a lot, I liked Carey Lowell a little, and I'd like Elizabeth Rohm if they ever let her do anything.

And we're all geeks. Just so we know.

Oh, I know. =) BIG. FLAMING. GEEKS.

You could roast marshmallows off the flaming geekiness.

Yeah, I remember that episode. The drunk driver who killed three people with his Jaguar, McCoy abets a material witness to leave the country, and McCoy and a judge seeking to run for DA helps railroad the defendant (the judge also reappears in the season finale).

Claire was my favorite, and Abbie was a close second. (She had me at "No deals for anyone. Let's hang them all.") Next up is Jamie Ross. Serena hasn't impressed me that much, however, I'm willing to write that off as bad scripts. Watching the 1994-1998 episodes, I've realized how much the D.A.'s aspect used to use plot twists, points of law, and important court decisions. Now they just seem to have "crazy wack-ass political defense from left field."

Yup, you're right about the wack-ass defenses.

I really didn't like Abby at first because she struck me as being self-righteous and because she talked smack about the ACLU. She did finally grow on me, but then, of course, she left. So far I haven't seen anything to show that the newest one has a personality.
