And I like a good action movie/Walker, Texas Ranger ep. I get that instinct, I really do. But are there any limits? Crime has been going down for generations, but TV crime keeps getting grislier and more twisted; I don't know if crime programming on the whole is on the rise, but it's certainly everywhere. At what point do we say that this prurient lust for violence goes beyond harmless entertainment and starts to cause real harm by eroding our actual faith in each other?
Here's a new one for them, free of charge: a serial killer gets fed up with all the sick, fantastical and utterly unrealistic violence on TV, so he decides to murder network executives in the same farcically creative/painful ways as freeway/MMORPG/online dating/etc. victims get killed on their shows. The (fictional, mind) suits who get rich exploiting society's fears and bloodlusts get to see their own (fictional, mind) children maimed and traumatized.

Have they all done and recycled that one?
Early warning that we're all about to become ancient and justified:these sort of shows are too played out imo.
Criminal minds, CSI, NCIS, ABCD etc.
you notice they all recycle ideas too, all of them have a "saw" episode, all of them have a "freeway killer" episode, all of them have an "MMORPG Killer" episode.
they are out of ideas.
as for him looking "old", meh not really, nothing a bottle of beard dye and a couple of gym sessions wouldnt cure, the doctor clothes dont help much either

That is far too creative a plot for them to come up with.

I guess I'd be sitting at the Little Trekkies' table, too, because I was born in '92.
