So… I’m not as angry as I thought I would be, because…
“Producers have also been keeping their eye on Facebook and Twitter all season to see just which story lines and pairings are hitting the deepest nerves with fans. Gelber says the fans are a big influence for the show’s direction.”
Ugh, no.
Producers, showrunners, writers should never listen to the fans, It’s their story, not the fans’, They should stick with it, no matter if people like it or not. They can’t please everyone, and they should not even try to do that.

oh the feeeeels…. (also I might gonna like that spin-off)
As much as I hate that they sacrificed Hallie just so they can introduce the spin-off next week, it’s gonna be fun to see how Voight is going deal with a heartbroken, angry and vengeful Casey. Fun in a sort of really fucking sad way.
