This season’s premiere really annoyed me. The temporary detective and the temp ADA made them look incompetent. Every time they have a guest star as a villian, they get a “stupid” virus and he or she gets away. ---

> [@Justin\_Bailey](#): > > Lick my boot! LICK IT! :eek: It looks ridiculous, but I cannot wait. I assumed the other night’s episode was a repeat since there was a recent SDMB thread about people who knowingly spread AIDS and I swear someone quoted Cragen. ---

Me…in a dark interogation room… “Detective Stabler, as God as my witness I did not know I had cell phone coverage in that area.” Oh, and I keep getting pop up ads here about a message board that won’t give me AIDS (really!). Is there something about the SDMB that I should know about? ---

> [@](#): > > I have to admit, I never get tired of looking at Mariska Hargitay in HD. The female form does not interest me, so I’d be far more interested in seeing a female cop go about her job. Instead, I see a social worker who is trying to be the next Betazoid. She never seems to do detective work, she’s too busy winning the trust of victims, or trying to play head games with suspects. Yeah, that’s cop work, but I want to see her use her head, not her heart. ---

> [@Krokodil](#): > > The iPhone app that hooks you up and gives you AIDS seemed gratuitously sordid (Pardon my naivete, but is there a hookup app even remotely like that in circulation?). Since the iPhone app won’t give you AIDS, but unprotected sex with someone who has HIV might. The iPhone app was for anonymous sex, or hit it and quit it. Some examples can me found [here](http://www.thefrisky.com/post/246-gps-is-for-s-e-x/) and [here](http://www.queerty.com/cruise-local-guys-via-gps-20090326/). It wasn’t hard to find since you just need to search using words like “iphone app” and “sex” or “hooking up”.
