Sep. 1st, 2006 12:22 pmLaw and Order has betrayed me.
I flip on the TV figuring to watch the last forty minutes of something while I eat dinner, and, of course, Law and Order's on, so I go for that. I get to the end of the episode and the dreaded "To Be Continued" card shows up. I figure, OK, I'll watch the second part just because I hate feeling all unresolved, and I'll still have plenty of time to get some work done. I get to the end of hour two... To Be Continued. !!!?!?!??! I stumbled upon a three-part Law and Order saga? WTF? I like L+O because there are no continuing arcs and I won't be tempted to just watch the next episode. If I'd known it was a three-parter (and it didn't even have the decency to be called Pt 1, Pt 2, Pt 3 in the title so the little episode description on my Directv didn't give any indication that it was one enormous story) I would have just watched Without a Trace. Instead, Law and Order finally relinquishes me at 11 o'clock at which point it's pointless to try to get any work done. Grrrrr. Dick Wolf, I hate you.
