Vanessa Ferlito's leaving.

Wah.

For some reason I don't want them to kill Aiden off, but have her leave the NYPD and become a PI. No, I have no real idea where this comes from, although it would at least leave the possibility we'd see her again.

Minor nitpick: Why do all the women have to be worked up over rape cases? I mean sure, bad. Is it because the victim's still alive, or is it because the writers think Stella and Aiden will identify more with a female than a male? Because it's annoying me, perhaps irrationally.

I don't like kids. I don't think babies are cute; I think they're a little scary.
Babies? Erk. Babies frighten me. Babies it's like-- it's small. And wrinkly. And damp. The older kids it's kind of like: fuck, you're a smart little bugger.

And yet, everyone tells me, "Oh, you'll feel differently when you have your own." Uh...I don't exactly plan on getting pregnant; what part of "I don't want kids" do people not understand?
And it's assumed that men will only want kids because their wives do, and won't be "nurturing" or have any active role beyond like, a transport and breadwinner and sports coach. Or be an abuser. (I joke with people that in Lifetime movies, if a male is over the age of about 12, or post-pubescent, he is a Bad Character, and does a Bad Thing. I'd like to hope I'm not so right across the board).

I never, ever want to have or take care of children myself because I'm terrified that I'll either hurt them, somehow, or repeat my parents. Which just isn't healthy for children.

It's... either way, you know, there's always this obnoxious dichotomy. A double standard. *sigh*. *kicks society in the solar plexus*

He would. Because...I've never been really good on the "because," but because it would be in character. Because it's Flack. And I'm not making sense at all.
I think, more than the idea of justice, he's... *frowns* It's the powerlessness thing. He doesn't like being helpless, not knowing what to do, or not being *able* to do. It makes him angry. (Mac seems to feel this same way, but he withdraws). He's... as a cop, he's entrusted with protecting those who can't. And I think, too, it's partly identity, too, but I can't figure how, either.
