#dylan mcdermott characters

If they decided to move Upton from CPD to SVU, would you consider what the show again?

Hey anon.

No, there's literally nothing that could make me consider watching the show again unless Kelli came back (on her own terms). I don't have much hope for her coming back and have accepted this means I'll probably never see a new episode of SVU again.

I don't watch CPD, but Tracy Spiridakos seems happy there, and I can't see why they'd move her.

My frustration with SVU is how DW is allowed to fire whoever he wants (mostly women & BIPOC actors) while hiring and promoting literal predators (DG, Dylan McDermott, etc.) on a show about the kinds of topics SVU covers.

I'm also not interested in the new characters in the slightest, and from what I've read, it's mostly them now anyway.

I've also heard there's a lot of focus on the perpetrator instead of the survivors, and I'd hate watching that as well.

I miss Liv, Fin, Carisi, and of course Amanda, but I can't go back to the show while it's like this.

[tea-with-evan-and-me]

So for all the reunion segments they had most of the actual actors/characters participating but with murder house we got Dylan McDermott and Anthony Anderson dressed as the rubber man. I mean come on wtf. So shady.

it was less quality than the other reunion segments. it's not really a reunion if it's one actor and anthony anderson in a rubberman suit flashing his dick print. i guess the emmy's only had enough kohl's cash left over for one person and it was dylan. oh well.

Update 05/06/2022

Good evening!

Firstly, some bits of media I've very much enjoyed over the past 2 weeks:

Bloods (2021, cr. Nathan Byron & Samson Kayo) - Bloods is fucking excellent, it's a sitcom about paramedics starring Samson Kayo (Oluwande of OFMD) and Jane Horrocks, and it's so fucking funny. Really, really tightly written with so much good, strong character work, lots of commentary on paramedicine and also on NHS issues whilst being so fast-paced, excellent soundtrack, and just in general a real triumph. Also appearances from Nathan Foad (Lucius in OFMD) being painfully entitled and awkward as Jane Horrocks' son and every time he's on screen I cringe from my soul to my hole, he's horribly effective in it. ALSO SAMSON KAYO SINGS AND IT'S GORGEOUS, and every single person who watches this will undoubtedly fall in love with Daryl and Darrell. Fucking hype for S3 next year.

Truth Seekers (2020, cr. Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, James Serafinowicz & Nat Saunders) - This is also comedy but with horror - it was cancelled after one season, unfortunately, but it's still worth a watch! Also featuring Samson Kayo as a protag. Truth Seekers does some really cool stuff with subverting horror tropes as you'd expect from anything with Pegg & Frost at the forefront, but it's also just genuinely funny and quite heartfelt in places while really doing some layered, subtle work around perceptions of abuse + mental health issues. That latter isn't the core theme of the show but is continuous throughout, and while the show didn't grip me as other stuff has, I've really been enjoying that aspect.

Westworld (1973, dir. Michael Crichton) - I hadn't seen this before and watched this in preparation for starting the TV series, which I'm guessing will be more to my taste, but I thought it held up surprisingly well for being fifty years old at this point. So many 70s movies, especially sci-fi and adventure movies don't really push my buttons, but this one is quite character-centred and has some charming homoeroticism. It lacks a bit of urgency, and if you've seen Jurassic Park, you already know Michael Crichton's anxieties around nature's unpredictability vs tech malfunctions vs amusement parks, and like-- Westworld says nothing that isn't said better or more adeptly in JP, but I still thought it was good!

I've also been playing Rune Factory 5 on my Switch and loving it so far, and I really enjoyed this interview with Con O'Neill. I also watched S4 of Stranger Things this week, and if you made the decision to stop off watching it after they started doing the anti-Russian stuff and are like "hm, maybe it's doing better and I should get back into it", you absolutely should not. The writing is truly very bad in so many places, and while it's adequate as background viewing it's just... Yeesh. A lot of choices are made. Different choices would have been better.

I have few media recs this week so here are just a collection of my favourite SNL sketches:

THE CLOVEHITCH KILLER- 2018 ⭐⭐⭐

A small religious town was tormented by a mysterious serial killer known as "Clovehitch", named after his favourite knot.

The killings stop and ten years later a boy starts to suspect his dad (Dylan McDermott) may have been the killer. Along with a new friend they start to follow him and try to work out the truth about Clovehitch.

Perfectly good movie. Really liked the way the story unravelled.

Dylan McDermott was actually very good as the sinister killer. His character was inspired by the BTK killer.

[evenlarksandkatydids]

a ryan murphy winchesters miniseries definitely exists in the supernatural universe. evan peters as dean, finn wittrock as sam, sterling k. brown as victor henriksen, dylan mcdermott as john, annaleigh ashford as mary, sarah paulson as like, idk, an investigative journalist character who was created for the show but she's there. the show is super wishy-washy with whether it's portraying sam and dean's relationship as incestuous or not, there's just like...lingering shots on closed motel room doors and very actor-y, subtext laden shouting matches in the impala. it received mixed reviews but was nominated for 5 emmys (1 win for sterling k. brown's performance) and 4 golden globes (1 win for evan peters' performance). there is an influx of winchester fangirls who make sam and dean edits, some of which use the news footage from the bank robbery in nightshifter. there is a deluge of discourse about whether the show is romanticizing the winchesters or not, the real answer is that the show is just kind of bad. there's a tainted love needle drop in there somewhere. charlie will never let sam and dean live it down.

Combating Food Scarcity in Cincinnati

Subscription based produce service can be provided as a way to make local, fresh produce accessible and affordable for citizens. At local farmer's markets I observed one farmer bringing a large truck each week full of their produce that people would should up and just take boxes of. Customers would pay upfront for the season and then would be able to attend the market and pick up their weekly produce as it was available. Being an unorthodox practice, implementing it will spark curiosity and bring additional to farmer's markets and hopefully increase the traffic they receive. This practice also empowers local farmers to have ownership over their product and connect more directly with customers. To make the service more accessible to many income types the farmers can partner with the local government to allow food stamps to be used to purchase the goods.

In urban areas, there’s an opportunity for individuals with unused yards to rent out their yards to other people who would put in the effort to cultivate and plant on the land. This allows the individual to benefit from the produce grown on their land and lets them harvest and eat the produce, giving them healthy options during the season. Individuals are also given the opportunity to sell the produce at a farmer's market or give it away to people around them potentially giving their neighbors good options nearby. Another major plus is that it's better for the environment than keeping regular grass in your yard.

City subsidized grocery stores, whose goal is to serve the surrounding community with affordable, healthy food would be a fantastic solution to combat food deserts. These city run markets with their low prices could force bigger grocery chains to compete by lowering their prices or tailoring each store to the specific community to which the store serves.

For example in the city where I (James) grew up, New York, each neighborhood has different items available in their grocery stores which cater to that neighborhood’s tastes. In Brighton Beach, supermarkets have many Russian and Ukrainian goods because of the high number of Russians and Ukrainians who live in the area. The same applies in Flushing and the high amount of East Asian food available. Here in Cincinnati, it seems that each grocery store is the same, and it also seems to be the same brand: Kroger. Driving a diversity of food options through city run markets would be great for neighborhood diversity and character.

I was inspired by the town of St. Paul, KS, who decided, after two decades without a grocery store, to open a city-owned and operated supermarket in order to attract new residents and revitalize the town. During the two decades without a grocery store in town, the nearest full service grocery was a 34 mile round trip away. The town now has access to fresh food right at its doorstep serving the town's 614 people.

Dylan McDermott Wanted to Play a Good Guy in FBI: Most Wanted

Dylan McDermott Wanted to Play a Good Guy in FBI: Most Wanted

Dylan McDermott knew it was time to see the light.  Ahead of the season two premiere of CBS‘ FBI: Most Wanted, the actor exclusively revealed to E! News why he decided to take on the role of Fugitive Task Force boss Remy Scott after playing the evil Richard Wheatley in Law & Order: Organized Crime. “I played a lot of good characters in my career, but recently, the last 10 years, I think they’ve…

[ragingstillness]

Law and Order Organized Crime thoughts take two:

(Spoilers for all of season 1 and half of season 2)

Hysterical that they gave Elliot a ‘girl cuts her hair off dramatically to signal a change in identity’ scene with his stupid beard

The whole plot line with Eli and drugs got resolved way quicker than I expected

The casting for Jon Costa gets funnier and funnier when you realize the actor also played a random dude in SVU who had a few hilarious exchanges with Elliot as well as being Neal Cassidy (Henry’s bio dad) in Once Upon A Time

Genuine question: is there any role Vinnie Jones can’t play??? The man’s been in everything, played every sexuality known to man, I love him in everything he’s in because he looks so tough but he has irresistible puppy dog eyes

Michael Raymond-James did a really good job with his character. Yes I get he had more to work with than Dylan McDermott, who the show absolutely wasted, but Costa comes off as a much more menacing villain than Wheatley

The Albanian crime family also felt like an actual crime family: where they preach a code of trust but every word is double-edged, family before everything but also if you screw up we’ll send your brother to gun you down, that kind of stuff

I know the Albanians were really into drug smuggling because I pay attention but the show didn’t do shit to make that clear as the most dangerous part of the organization. I get that it’s not as exciting as beatdowns and robberies, but y’all really could have made that more clear

From spoilers I thought I’d hate Flutura wholeheartedly but I actually think she’s ok. I don’t like her but I don’t hate her. Don’t like that Elliot slept with her, felt like that was unnecessary, but she was fine. Also, literally not a single character pronounces her name consistently

I get they were trying to roughly parallel Reggie and his mom with Elliot and his mom but I don’t think they did a fantastic job. Also kind of wild they had Reggie’s mom be loyal to the family after her brother killed her husband and got her shot in the head

There are moments I feel sorry for Reggie and then I remember he condoned sex trafficking but they also had him say some insane line about not knowing about it?? I’m confused

Love that Rita survived this whole situation I’m so happy for her

I feel like we’re gonna be seeing a lot more of Nova and that makes me happy because I like her

Also, two black female gay police officers? Me likey

I hope Jet fucked that hacker guy. In a vacuum, ignoring anything he did, I think she’d Domme the shit out of him and he’d enjoy it. They had great chemistry.

Although I wouldn’t object to seeing Nova and Jet get together. It’d be a Root and Shaw from Person of Interest type beat

American Horror Story Murder House: Ben Harmon - Type 9w8

Ben is calm, dismissive and deceitful. Ben ignored many of the bad signs of the house and would often lie to Vivien about things because he was afraid of her reaction. 

At his best, Ben is a good mediator and therapist and is able to understand different perspectives. Ben is also fiercely protective of his family and cares deeply about them. 

At his worst, Ben is deceitful towards his family and dismissive of Vivien. He cheated on Vivien because he felt like he wasn’t getting enough attention. Ben also becomes very paranoid (due to the house) and accuses Vivien of cheating on him with Luke. 

Unhealthy 9s can have a tendency to ignore their problems, until they become too big to ignore. Ben tries to hide from his problems, specifically his affair with Hayden. He lies to Vivien about his business trip and continues seeing her. When Hayden comes to confront him and tell Vivien about the affair, Larry kills her and Ben helps cover up her murder, all because he doesn’t want his affair to be exposed.

Ben likes to see the good in people and it is one of the reasons he chose to become a psychiatrist. He tries to help Tate understand himself and to move on, but eventually stops. He also tries to get through to Michael Langdon and even develops a father-son bond with him. However, he ends the sessions because he realises that Michael is evil and cannot be saved. 

Ben can be very oblivious to everything that’s happening in the house, especially compared to Vivien. He doesn’t believe Vivien when she voices her fears and believes she is mentally unstable. He buries Hayden, yet he still can’t come to terms with the fact that she is a ghost, instead he tries to find a rational explanation. He only fully grasps the concept of the spirt world after his death and entry into the spirit world.

Ben shows his wing 8 as he is more aggressive and direct than a 9w1 would be. He is less concerned with his principles than a 9w1 would be.

Tri-type: 9w8 - 3w4 - 6w7

Some quotes to describe Ben’s motivations

“I didn't do anything. You heard it on the tape. She did it to herself.”

“You see that crazy bitch, you tell her we're done. I'm not playing your games. You come back on this property, and I will kill you. You hear me? I will kill you.”

Violet...What kind of father have I been? You weren't eating, you weren't going to school. You were already gone. I didn't get it."

"The more you fear something, the more power you give it."

“People tell stories to cope with their fears. All art and myths are just creations to give us a sense of control over things we're scared of. Afraid of dying? Create reincarnation. Afraid of evil? Create a benevolent god who sends evil doers to hell.”

Ben: “You're a psychopath, Tate. It's a mental disorder, and therapy can't cure it.” Tate: “So that's your diagnosis? I'm a psychopath?” Ben: “Yep, and the worst kind. You're charismatic and compelling and a pathological liar. But don't listen to me. I'm a total fraud. And by the way, therapy doesn't work.”

Joe rose with the early morning rays of sunlight. He kissed Alison's forehead and tiptoes outside to soak in the cool morning air. A fresh layer of dew coated the grass beneath his bare feet as his toes curled into the green. They still had a lot to figure out in Elysium. Winters had been hard, but every spring that came around brought with it new hope and new life. He imagined the space before him later in they day, bustling with people from all over Panem. A smile stretched his lips as he closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. For now, this would be their home. For now, they would have to seek out their peace in the safety of Elysium until the day the Capitol fell and they could finally crawl out of the shadows and back into the blessed sunlight.
