Quick fannish olio

Too many medical appointments and complications, publishing deadlines, and social promises made but not yet kept. Nonetheless, these three things caught my attention:

( Robin Curtis; Lichtenberg & Lorrah; and the guild of energy vampires )

More medical stuff is coming up next week (I thank every deity in this universe for the continued existence of OHIP), and then maybe there'll be time for some actual real-world fun.

Dun-dun, eh?

I watched the first episode of Law and Order Toronto: Criminal Intent, even though the reviews weren't stellar. It was good to see the city portraying itself and not Chicago or New York, as it so often does. But the first episode was pretty boring. I knew early on who the villain was; and (so far, anyway) Aden Young and Kathleen Munroe are no Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe, despite the "Criminal Intent" appellation.

What gives me hope is that the showrunner is Tassie Cameron, who was responsible for Pretty Hard Cases. That was one of my favourite cop shows of all time, and I'm still bitter about its cancellation.

Even if Cameron weren't involved in LOT:CI, I'd stick around for the Rob Ford episode. We'll see whether the "not based on real events"-type disclaimer appears in the opening credits for that one.
