Law and Order Loves Animals

I am a long time fan of the Law and Order franchise. The original, from which all the others have sprung, has undergone many changes since its debut. Of the new characters added over the last few years I very much like ADA Cutter (Linus Roach) and Detective Lupo (Jeremy Sisto). Detective Lupo has a soft spot for pets left homeless by murder and mayhem. He adopted a dog that belonged to a murder victim on a previous episode. On last week's episode he took the murder victim's cat to a no kill shelter. Good thing too, because they needed the cat's DNA to solve the case. Kudos to whoever is responsible for making homeless pets a part of the story line.

Dr. Snooze?

I hate to stay it, but I was a little bored with last Saturday's episode of Dr. Who. I know the Daleks have to survive annihilation so they can continue to be the Doctor's nemesis, but it all was a bit ho hum. The actor they chose to play Winston Churchill seemed to be a caricature of himself. A friend pointed out that she liked the authenticity of the war room scenes. They did a good job portraying the fear of imminent invasion that the British were facing. I hope the next episode with the stone angels recaptures the energy of the first episode.
