but in my head, i was doing them for the right reasons
dkjf;lkdsjf;ladksjd;lkfjd;lfkdjfl;dajfdl;kj WHAT THE ACTUAL CRAP IS THIS SHOW, JESUS CHRIST, I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY FEELINGS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE (and my life is primarily composed of being a person with too many goddamn feelings, so).
OMARRRRRRR. and Brother! and I almost broke J's hand, I'm pretty sure, oh my god. and poor Frank Sobotka, who is almost certainly about to disappear without a trace and be rather extremely dead. HE THOUGHT HE WAS DOING THE WRONG THINGS FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.
okay. deep breaths, composing myself. I LOVE THIS SHOW BECAUSE:
1) it doesn't assume that we're morons. Like, if ever a show needed a "previously...", this would be the goddamn show - but instead it just kind of assumes that, fuck it, we're all adults here, we can keep up. Which sometimes I really really can't, and then I turn to J and say WAIT FUCK WHO THE CRAP WAS THAT, and then she explains - but the fact that the show doesn't ever assume that we don't remember the last episode is just - nrrrrrrgh.
2) EVERYBODY IS AN ASSHOLE OH MY GOD. Even the people who are basically decent people are totally capable of being heartless bastards when the situation calls for it - and by the same token, the people who are almost entirely terrible wind up having this core of, idk, I don't want to say decency, because LOL NO, but there's a SOMETHING that they have, that one thing for which they will fight like a motherfucker, and it rocks my goddamn world.
...the exception being Levy, who if he has an inner core of decency it is at a level of his psyche down to which until now we have not yet got. Dude is an asshole.
3) Kiiiiiiiiima. OH MY GOD, KIMA, ILU SO MUCH. And somebody said something wicked smart at MJ, in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shihadchick's panel about awesome ladies, about how OBVIOUSLY Kima's relationship with her lady is, um, kind of messed up—but that is because Kima is a cop who is basically really terrible at being not-a-cop, and not because she is a lady dating a lady. Similarly, Omar—and, sidebar, I love how two of the biggest badasses on this show are just casually queer, jfc, NOW I WILL GO INTO A CORNER AND SHRIEK IN GLEE—is a badass and honestly kind of terrifyingly messed up, and also going out and doing a ton of fucked up shit to avenge his lover.
4) I want Lester Freamon to be my life coach / guru / lover. I AM NOT KIDDING, I LOVE THAT MAN SO MUCH IT IS UNREAL.
5) There is no number five. I keep having to pause in the middle of an episode to flail at poor J because I just have that many goddamn FEELINGS in re: this show (or unions, or education, or whatever it has made me think of at that particular moment in time). It is so goddamn smart, and so depressing, and yet so fucking funny sometimes—ugh, I just. WHAT THE FUCK, I LOVE IT SO MUCH THAT IT IS ACTUALLY UNREAL.
I have had some beers, lj. Now I am going to go tackle my lady into bed and wave my hands around with great fervor until I inevitably pass out and the cat sits on my leg all night. ♥!
