Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 10, Period 1, 02.09.06

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: After Tuesday? Easy class. Have fun. No real need to take notes, even though Tick mentions it, and no real need to keep the chatter at a minimum. I kind of want to know what happens in the episode by the time class is done, so chatter away. Class Info Post.]

The Tick was standing at the podium when the class walked in. Lockheed was in the back of the room with popcorn.

"Okay, class! After the... fun of Tuesday's class," Tick began, abusing sarcasm on the word "fun," "I thought it would be a good idea to slow things down, take it a little easy, and do a few little things today. Most importantly, at the end of class, Rory will be giving you a writing assignment. Yes, class, you will have an essay to do."

"Before that, though, we will be watching an episode of Crime & Punishment which starts with Detectives Larry Boscoe and Mark Loggin investigating a murder in a hotel. Please take some notes on how the different branches of Justice are portrayed in the series and keep the chatter at a minimum."

"But before we do that, I have something brief I would like everyone to do. It's voluntary, but I really would appreciiate it if everyone did it. For both my sake and yours, I would like you to take a vow in the name of this class. You too, Rory."

[Continued in the OCD threads which will be up in a moment are up. Rory will have her own thread for the writing assignment, so watch for that. Writing assignment is up. Give it to Rory by next Thursday.

And now there is toast. You know what kind.]

Crime & Punishment [Class 10]

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

The Tick takes a seat in the back of the room while Rory turns the show on. Boscoe and Loggin are on the scene.

[OOC: Yep, this is your standard discussion thread this time. Like I said, please describe the episode. Have fun with it.]

"...Should they be letting all those civilians on the crime scene?" Bridge asks, frowning.

[ooc: why yes, i *did* stay up later than normal just so i could be one of the first to post instead of one of the last. and also, reposting, because it posted with the wrong subjectline omgwtf?]

"Not unless they want all their evidence contaminated," Callisto remarked, flicking what looked suspiciously like a stray piece of pink glitter off her armour. "And they haven't even bothered cordoning off the area."

"Not like it matters," Angel said. "The mime did it."

Re: Crime & Punishment [Class 10]

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"What makes you so sure it was the mime?" Callisto asked. "They already have three other potential suspects with far more motive. The guy's estranged, transvestive, hooker nephew for starters."

Trying to be more like Marty, Sam is dressed in a suit today and is eating a plain egg white omelette from a styrofoam container.

Occasionally he pretends to fall asleep in class and other times will mutter the words "Doink-Doink" underneath his breath whenever there's a scene transition.

Re: Crime & Punishment [Class 10]

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge looks over at Sam and gives him a thumbs-up at the first "Doink-Doink".

Re: Crime & Punishment [Class 10]

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Sam returns the thumbs up and pretends to go to sleep.

Veronica shoots Marty a couple of strange looks. He's been acting kind of weird this week.

"I didn't know you could do that in court. Ten bucks says the guy gets threatened with contempt."

"I'll bet their key witness is lying," said Janet. "Just because she's a nun doesn't mean she has no ulterior motives."

"Nothing wrong with nuns," Angel muttered.

Re: Crime & Punishment [Class 10]

[janet_fraiser]

"I didn't say there was anything wrong with nuns," said Janet, wondering why the heck Angel was being so defensive when Angelus was the one who had a thing for nun porn. "Just that they're as flawed as the rest of us."

And if Angel had a thing for nuns? Janet wasn't so sure she wanted to know which meant Angel should really give free rein to any TMI, of course.

"I've known some really angry nuns," Parker agreed. "Nuns who would steal your fake I.D. because they weren't allowed to go out partying, for instance. The nun could be trying to blackmail the real killer."

Re: Crime & Punishment [Class 10]

[janet_fraiser]

"That would be a good twist," said Janet. "Maybe the nun will end up dying at the end."

"I think they should just be allowed to hit him," Aeryn says.

Re: Crime & Punishment [Class 10]

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"In this case, yeah, he should. Still, just because the Judge is stupid doesn't mean you can hit him."

"I hate when the show starts talking about the detective's personal lives," Jaye grumbles. "It should be about the chung chung, dammit."

Sam sighs, and tries to act like Marty.

"Doink Doink"

She points at him. "Chung chung, buddy, what the hell."

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

Archie is completely lost when it comes to this show, so he kind of just agrees with Jaye.

Besides, it's kind of cute when she says "chung chung."

Re: Crime & Punishment [Class 10]

[fates_jaye]

Jaye might smile over at him, just a little.

"Oh, my gods!" Vala says, watching the fourth act kick in. "The nun is really the estranged transvestite hooker nephew in disguise?" She thinks for a moment. "Well, if your dad was a mime, I guess you'd learn a little bit about dressing up funny and and acting annoying...."

Cameron really hadn't seen that one coming.
