the good, the bad, and the oh-so-fucking ugly

[kellinator]

The good: One of my Homicide fan lists informs me that tonight TNT will be broadcasting both parts of one of the Law and Order/Homicide crossovers. Yaay, Homicide back on TV, even if only for one night!

The bad: The crossover is the sixth-season "Baby It's You", IMNSHO one of the worst episodes of Homicide ever, in large part because of the overpresence and overacting of Det. Paul "You Dunno Janine" Falsone, as played by Jon Seda (who was frankly more sympathetic playing a dirtbag Mob killer on Oz). Last time I saw this episode, I sat down anticipating enjoying a nice glass of wine with my all-time favorite TV show and ended up swilling the entire bottle just to dull the pain.

The ugly: Falsone's greasy hair. Ugggggggghhh.

BTW, I am not alone in my distaste for Falsone. There's also the We Hate Paul Falsone webpage, an entire subgenre of Homicide fanfic dedicated to rewriting the infamous "peach" scene with various lovely painful results, and this gem.

There must be something to the hate...the "We Hate Falsone" page guy is up to like volume 4. I only have seen him in the Movie, (Oh, and frigging Subway, which I, like a heretic, hate. Maybe cause the critics loved it so. Is my natural perversity and malcontentedness that severe? It would appear so.) But in between, I was like "Who's the oily guy with Meldrick? Dude, that must be the one everyone hates." But he didn't do much so I, personally, have no opinion, yet. But I also didn't buy them as partners.

Trust me -- once you see him running around trying to take my beloved Kellerman down, you'll understand. (But Kellerman is still not so beloved as the Munchkin.)

Will be (hopefully) sending my thoughts on the fics soon!
