#TV #NCIS #JessicaKnight's first crush was #EliotSpencer. A nod to #Leverage?

@grammargirl Thanks.

#Tekken Is #King a human with a #Jaguar mask or a jaguar in a human costume?

If he's a man, why does he roar like a big cat?

#TV #QuantumLeap I don't know that the writers went this way, but I'd make the mole someone we've never heard of, a worker on the project but none of the main characters. That would fit the "no one we would ever suspect" profile.

To limit future #Blogger #ContentWarnings, I've added the following to my #Poetry site #Guidelines: "Nothing glorifying crime or violence. Nothing graphic, gratuitous, or that otherwise may be warned by or violate #Blogger's content policy. Make your points with #Figurative #Language and other #Poetic techniques so your work can be read without barriers."

Full guidelines: https://poemsoncrime.blogspot.com/p/guidelines.html

@grammargirl If I mean "until and including," can I just use "through"?

Also, I like #Columbo and #MurderSheWrote very much, but how can the list not mention #Gibbs, who was on #NCIS 18 seasons, six more than Murder, She Wrote's entire run?

This #TV and #Movie list calls too many characters #Detectives, IMO: https://ew.com/tv/greatest-tv-movie-detectives-of-all-time/ Jonathan and Jennifer Hart, for example, are wealthy amateurs at best. #HartToHart

#Blogger notified me they placed one of my #Poetry blog posts behind a #ContentWarning, but I can't see which post. The most recent ones come up w/o a warning. Have a look and let me know where you run into a warning. Thanks: https://poemsoncrime.blogspot.com/

I know you can infer the story time from the end of #DS9 to Season 3 of #Picard was peaceful between the Federation and the Dominion, but only #StarTrek #LowerDecks has depicted that time, so there's virtually no evidence of it, and shapeshifters are being used only to give #Picard a boost for its final season. It doesn't feel an organic evolution of #Picard.

My fave #StarTrek is #DS9 and I continue to feel the rest of the franchise sells DS9 short. DS9 did bold serialized storytelling to depict the Dominion War and its resolution and #Picard goes, "Yup, Changelings are back trying to crumble the Federation. DS9's final arc was kind of for nought."

I don't like how #StarTrek #Picard has pulled in characters and storylines from #DS9 and #Voyager. It kind of indicates the show can't stand alone. A good show can nod to its spinoffs while remaining its own show. Also if Picard is meant to have different tone and stand apart from #TNG, why did it bring back almost all the TNG crew for Season 3? Again, it kind of gives the impression the show has no better stories of its own.

#Cameo (#MerriamWebster): "a small theatrical role usually performed by a well-known actor and often limited to a single scene"

The word "cameo" has become misused for full guest appearances where the guest appears in multiple scenes throughout an episode.

I prefer to think any #Character could have a full series, that they don't only exist as #Guests in the world of a more celebrated character.

It's hard for me to enjoy favorite #TV #Characters coming back only to be killed off so the main character can escape/survive. It painfully reminds me these are lesser characters used as #PlotDevices serving the main show and whomever the show is mainly about.

Nitpicking you can say #EdwinDiaz wasn't injured playing #Baseball; he was injured celebrating a win.

It's too much to ask people not to celebrate.

You can always explain away far-out gripes with "I was too upset to make logical complaints."

When you're most upset is when you need to be most careful what you say and how you say it, so you don't make yourself look bad.

I also don't understand the gripe that #EdwinDiaz shouldn't have been injured playing #Baseball for anyone but his MLB team. Diaz getting injured playing baseball is more acceptable to me than athletes getting injured at hobbies far outside the sports they're under contract to play. #JayWilliams' motorcycle crash comes to mind. #ChicagoBulls
