Chair (A Dream)
by Adonis (Trans. Michael Beard & Adnan Haydar)

Long ago I screamed at the city:
Husk of the world,
I’m holding you in my hand.
Long ago I muttered at the ship,
my song in a rose-red blaze:
all or nothing.

As for you, my grandchildren, I’m tired,
tired of myself, tired of the seas.
Bring me that chair.

HOMICIDE!! Isn't Kay awesome? And Munch is more than a punchline? And Frank, who wears neckties with horses on them? How far along are you? I love that show. LOVE IT.

YOU SPEAK TRUTH. I love it. Can't get it fast enough.

Thought I was on the second season, but apparently it's the third? Crosetti's committed suicide, & Kay went home for vacation, only to end up solving a case there, too.

I ALWAYS SPEAK THE TRUTH ABOUT TELEVISION.

Oh, yeah. The first two seasons were ridiculously short. At least the first one, if I remember correctly. Are you watching out of order? I don't want to spoil you. I mostly love Howard and Munch. A lot.

I liked when she went home. I could totally see Howard with a family like that, all men because the women are dead.

My DVDs are listed as S1 but according to all other sources it's S1&2. I'm watching in order. Well. As much as I can. The listing order is different to the order in which the episodes were aired. But I'm at 3x04-3x06, where the episodes get a bit jumbled (Frank & Megan Russert are about to get sued because of the multiple-personality disorder woman).

Yeah, I really enjoyed that episode. It doesn't hurt that I adore Howard, but I liked the feel of it; and I liked watching Frank and Beau play basketball.

The show is just so entertaining without being patronising, or repetitive. And it keeps the balance of light to dark pretty well.
