First the Emmys. It seems silly to honor these people for doing such great acting jobs (actually, the sentence could end right there) and then cut them off after they've spoken for 30 seconds. Don't you think those people have earned the right to have their say? On the other hand, I don't want to hear them thank everyone and their cousin. So go ahead and cut them off, I guess. Who wants to listen to rambling anyway? (Please read on, gentle reader.)
Second, we've been watching the Law & Order repeats whenever we don't really feel like watching television. They're on continuously. I think last night's episode of SVU was the first brand new one I've watched. While it seemed they wanted to start off the season with a bang, I think the plot was a bit convoluted and too many people got arrested. Don't just lead us around from suspect to suspect, revelation to revelation without letting us get involved somehow. By the end of the episode I didn't really care what happened to anyone.
But, if there's one thing I took away from the episode, it's this. If a woman hires private investigator to kidnap your child, but then the whole plot is figured out by the police and the PI gets arrested and the woman gets a restraining order, and then you feel sorry for the woman since she lost her kid in an accident and she is actually the biological mother of your kid, do not, under any circumstances, have the restraining order removed because, you know what, she is just going to attempt to kidnap your kid again. And this time, she might actually succeed, although they'll find her right away because she's at her beach house.
What the hell am I talking about?
