Review of The "L" Word

Written by cubtat2

I forgot to mention in my review of "Forever Blue" that my all-time favorite player, Ryne Sandberg, was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on January 4th. I still love him, some eight years after he retired. I have so many memories of him. *smile* *happy dances* Congrats Ryno!!

I'm still on some kind of high from last week. I've watched it...eight times since then. I still can't get over how flat-out awesome it was. *happy dances*

I need to stop happy dancing long enough to review "The 'L' Word"

Like the little voice-overs they are doing while LilFinney is working out, but to be honest, this is kinda boring. I don't like it when it starts off boring.

They gave PapaFinney until 5:00. . .WTF!?!? And he's acting awfully strange. I think that Finney is the kind of man who doesn't say "I love you" that often because the look on his wife's face. This is strange.

"You are the man, John Sullivan." Yes, yes he is. And if you don't believe me, watch "Forever Blue" again. *happy dancing*

Ty! Sweetie! How are you? You need a hug? *hugs*

"C.T. Finney is going to be somebody's bitch by midnight." Ummm, I don't think so. He was acting strange.

Carlos! Holly! Hi!! Holly loves him. "I love you." See! Told ja! *goofy grin*

Something weird is happing in that coffee shop. . .Holy shiznit! It blowed up! Wow.

Carlos needs to admit that he loves Holly, even if it's just to Grace for now.

Carlos: "Oh my God."
Grace: "What?"

Carlos loves her, even if he can't say it. You know he does.

PapaSwersky! *hugs* I love PapaSwersky. FDNY action! Yeah!! I miss the bucket boys. DK! WALSH! Wheeeeeeee!!

"I'm no expert, but I'd say there was an explosion." *gigglesnort* I love it when he's a smartass.

Smore PapaSwersky!! *grin* I love thee.

Carlos loves Holly. Loves her enough to get out of the bus and run to the coffee shop. He loves her, he loves her *dances*

Ty is upset. Ty is sad. Ty is conflicted. *hugs*

Carlos, go tell her! Man, this is painful to watch. The love is so blatantly obvious, it's painful. TELL HER! You goober.

A victim with nobody to contact and a work ID. . .something fishy is going on. . .hmmmm

*thinks of "Forever Blue" and starts happy dancing*

"Do you believe this? John Sullivan all of a sudden thinks he could hurt me." Well, yeah. And he did. He did more than hurt you. He knocked you off your pedestal. *having flashbacks* Have I ever said that "Forever Blue" rocked my frikkin socks off?

PapaFinney STILL doesn't get that he's done. Nothing you could try, even your black book, is gonna work. Neener neener neener *gigglesnort*

Finney, think of your son. Dumbass. *eyeroll* It still looks to me that PapaFinney is wearing football pads underneath his suit. Weird.

Faith!! Bosco!! Faith looks absolutely stunning.

"Yeah, with you and me, it usually takes some kind of tragedy to get us back together." I'd say Bosco getting shot multiple times and almost dying qualifies as a tragedy.

"Make sure you show her your good side." She didn't mean it, but OUCH! I also could sense that there is something deeper there.

So this Steven Britt guy has been dead 20 years. . .hmmm. . .interesting. VERY interesting.

Who IS this dood that's in a coma? I'm confused. . .

"Super cop here has got to have truth and justice for all." PUNCH HIM, TY!

"You're a real son of a bitch, you know that?" Oooh, warm and fuzzy. Who wants to punch PapaFinney in the throat? I think that it's equal. (Special thanks to Missy Munk for using "punching in the throat" too many times lately. Not literally, of course.)

Smore PapaSwersky! "I just want this out of my house!" Squeeee! I love him

Oh, so they DID give PapaFinney until 5:00. . .this is strange.

"No he's not. He was right. A patrol cop is never going to be able to bring down a Captain of the NYPD. That's what I was trying to tell you Davis. This is real life. Nothing ever turns out the way you think it's going to. Good guys don't always win; the bad guys don't always lose. It's never simple. It's never easy. This guy's gonna win. He's gonna beat this and they only people that are going down are the grunts. People like you and me. People like your father."

OH SNAP! WHAT A RANT! Wow. *hugs Sully* I love him *smore hugs*

The case is non-prosecutable?? WTF?!?! What has he been smoking?!??! "Ty hasn't got a father. Sullivan doesn't have a son. Monroe doesn't have a man. They are jealous of us and what we have." WTF?!?! He's smoking something. I think I should punch him in the throat. He really needs to cut the BS and tell LilFinney the truth.

"I promise you one thing, son. I'll never spend a day in jail." What the??! This IS strange...

So the dood that's in the hospital isn't who he says he is. Can you say "Identity theft?" I knew you could.

Poor Holly. *hugs* Carlos needs to grow up just a little bit more. Holly knew those people, be more compassionate.

"I could have died today Carlos. You want to pretend we're 21 and this just is about sex? Well I don't have time for someone who just wants sex. Not anymore." Hehehe.

So this Steven's guy name is really Raymond? Wow. Not.

BUBBA!! I love Bubba! *has flashbacks to "Forrest Gump"* I love that movie. Maybe I should buy it.

"Look Sergeant, the only reason why I'm talking to you is because you're a Sergeant." *gigglesnort* I love Bubba.

Smore Bubba! I love Bubba. Converted to Islam, JJTF is tracking this dood. . .yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah. Zzzzzzzzzzz

"A waste management company?" Oooh, Bubba senses something.

So it wasn't a bomb, it was a gas leak. Zzzzzzzzzz. Going to the waste management company. Something else is working here. But still. . .zzzzzzzzzzz

Poor kid's got a broken wing. Finney's gonna ride with him. Zzzzzzzz

"I'll try to perk up." LOL! He's so huggable when he's grumpy.

"Emma, I'm sorry. It's me." *gigglesnort*

"I wasn't having the best day, then they assign me to guard this side dish without telling me why." LOL! I'm so easily amused. "Side dish". *gigglesnort*

So this Steven, er Raymond, dood wanted the hospital routes. Hmmm. Cesium? Hmmm. Sorta interesting.

A dirty bomb? WTF?!?! Heh. This would be original if the bomb/terrorist storyline hadn't been done over and over on TV. This certainly not the best episode nor the most original idea.

*happy dances at the thought of "Forever Blue"*

Some dood is trying to get to this Raymond dood and Sully chases him. Up on the roof *starts singing* "Up on the roof. Up on the rooooooooof." Whoops, sorry. Sweetie, why don't you shoot him already? Damn. Hesitation is not a good thing. Why are you surprised he jumped? Goofball. But I still loves ya *hugs*

"Ca-rap." LOL. Leave it to Sully to turn it into a two-syllable word. I love him.

LilFinney talking to the boy in the hospital was sweet. But I still want to beat him with a stick.

Something weird is going on with PapaFinney. He didn't go to the DA? Daymn. Something's up. "I love you." WTF?!?! This is weird. . .rut-ro.

Cruz and Bubba talking to the guy that went after Raymond. . .blah blah blah. . .zzzzzzzzzzz. Sending him to Guantanamo. . .blah blah blah

Finney's driving fast. Something's up. PapaFinney's not in the house. Something's up. . .

He NEVER said "I love you?" Wow.

Holy CA-RAP! PapaFinney's dead. Daymn. Now come on, did you REALLY think Finney would turn himself in? Yeah, me neither. I wanted him to eat his gun. Dying that way was the chicken shi. . . way to go and stoopid to boot. After that fantabulous storyline, they end it like that?? WTF?!?! Grrr. I'm upset. *breaks stuff*

.*thinks of "Forever Blue" and happy dances around the room* I so loved that episode. Maybe I should watch it after I get the review done.

Carlos, I think it might be a little too late to be compassionate now. "Wait. Listen, listen. For a while today, I thought you were in that explosion. I knew you were going there. I heard it come over the radio and my stomach flipped. I freaked out. I didn't know what to do. I've never felt that way before, worrying about someone like that." Awww.

"Your story about Jerusalem and the bombs. Everyone calling their loved ones. Who did you call, Holly? I got out of the bus and ran the last five blocks. I was afraid. Afraid I'd lost you. You didn't call me. You say, "I love you", but you didn't call. It's not about saying the words, it's about actions. It's the best that I can give you right now. And if that's not good enough, then I'm sorry, but that's all I can give you." Awww *cries* That was sweet with a touch of sad.

Hey! Waitaminute! PapaFinney's face is white. A friend of mine that's an RN (HI KAY!!!) told me that when someone dies of carbon monoxide poisoning, their face is cherry red, not white.

They are gonna make up a story about Finney dying while working on his car with the garage door closed and the car running? WTF?!?! Both my dad and I are avid car workers (Ok, not so much me, I like to learn, but my dad loves to work on em) and there is no frikkin way that we would work on our car with the garage door shut AND the car running. That's just. . .dumb. Real dumb. And my dad would never work on his car with a suit on. Never.

So the dood in interrogation has radiation burns. Ewww. *dry heaves* I know where this is going.

Next week looks better than this week. This week was just, ugh. I haven't felt that way about an episode in quite a while. It lacked the TW-ness we're all used to. *end of rant*
