Sometimes I wish I could introduce characters from some of my detective shows to each other. The trouble is...

[introduces Jimmy Perez to the Thursday family; that gets uncomfortable very fast (see series 3 of Shetland...)]

[introduces Tommy Linley to the Thursday family; that gets uncomfortable even faster...]

[gives up and crosses the genre-streams, introduces the Thursday family to various people from Shadow and Bone; “WHO DID THIS TO DSP CRISP’S DAUGHTER I DON’T CARE THAT HE’S AN AGE-OLD DARK LORD I AM GOING TO FIND HIM AND THEN I AM GOING TO TAKE OFF MY HAT”]

The more “Classically-Trained-String-Instrument-Night-Circus-Piano-Melody” sounding the intro music is, the better the fictional crime drama show will be. And that’s just science.

I do believe that (tv show verse) Tom loved Barbara within like 6 months of working together, while having no conscious perception that the intensity of his fascination with her meant anything other than 'hmm, my work partner is an interesting complicated person isn't she, of course i want to spend 95% of my time with her. for interesting work reasons, certainly' and that Barbara was like 'so you're a little intense, please go play with Helen instead, I don't understand why you're crowding me, I am a sexless and emotionally disastrous object, obviously you don't see me as a woman you see a puzzle and I don't see why you're always under foot, if you're acting insane it must be because you love Helen so much,' and she maybe had some lonely, abandoned feeling twinges when Tom and Helen left on honeymoon -- which led to that whole seaside mild stalking disaster. But Barbara did save his (and Haddiyah's) life at great expense to her career! And that maayy have given Tom a little nudge in the feelings realization department, though not really, and then Barbara almost resigned thinking Tommy wanted her demoted, (when really he'd advocated for demotion over firing her completely, which were the only options) and he put 'Barbara is leaving and Helen is pregnant' on the same level of 'upsetting and unwanted change' in A Traitor To Memory, but he still doesn't seem to Get It.

Meanwhile Helen clearly has realized some things, with the "It would be one thing if you were having an affair with her" line, feeling unwanted and inferior in Tommy's priorities to work and his partnership with Barbara -- she must see that when Barbara's there to talk to she fades into a kind of background idea for Tommy, he's really kind of awful to her and he was throughout their relationship, I've never understood why she agreed to marry the guy giving her the yo-yo treatment like that!

But I do think that Tom sticking by Barbara's side after the shooting rather than following Helen, who clearly told him where she'd be if he'd really wanted to reconcile and grieve together and rebuild, that decision and that sense of his own priorities must have finally shaken something loose for him because he spends s4 and onward following Barbara around with big adoring eyes and seems fairly aware that he has some big non-platonic-work-partnerly feelings for her, though he seems to see himself as too much of a mess and an emotional liability to do anything about it, especially considering Barbara's volatile and easily wounded nature. He knows he can't just casually treat Barbara like he did Helen (and thankfully seems aware he shouldn't have treated Helen like that either) so he just wanders around in limbo between guilt and longing.

and I'd kill for an AU thru s3 and 4 where Helen confronts Tommy about his feelings for Barbara directly instead of hinting, forcing things out into the open. It would have been in character for her as a profiler and psychologist, the only reason she didn't is probably because EG is wildly against Lynley/Havers in a romantic sense so Helen was written without significant awareness of the top spin the BBC writers and Nathaniel Parker and Sharon Small were putting on the central relationship 😩

#i have wanted an AU about this for the last 19 years #and as I don't think anyone's ever done it... i may have to write it #lynley x havers #tom x barbara #inspector lynley mysteries #....is there any fandom for this show left??? it's been so long #i fall down this rabbit hole every few years though and it remains wildly important to me

Minding my business watching S1E3 of Inspector Lynley when all of a sudden I realized one of the school boys looks familiar

Then it hit me like

It was his first TV series role from the looks of things.

‘Haven’t the public had enough of murder?’ I asked.

‘You’re joking. Inspector Morse, Taggart, Lewis, Foyle’s War, Endeavour, A Touch of Frost, Luther, The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, Cracker, Broadchurch and even bloody Maigret and Wallander – British TV would disappear into a dot on the screen without murder. They’re even bumping people off in the soap operas."

i never saw bbc sherlock and just assumed because of the popularity that it was at least a watchable British mystery show. i used to be attached to Inspector Lynley Mysteries when i lived with my dad, mysteries are fun and the source material is iconic etc.

holy shit it was this bad?? it was this bad the whole time?? this insult to the audience's intelligence??! this mary sue ass shit?! the dubious attractiveness of Cucumber notwithstanding the lighting and the fights and the camera angles were this fucking bad and you were ok with admitting you LIKED IT?!? Moriarty is gay and fliratious?!~!!@!#$ APOLOGIZE TO EVERY GEN Z KID WATCHING SUBWAY SURFERS AND FAMILY GUY ON THE SAME SCREEN AS SOAP CUTTING ASMR RIGHT NOW IT HAS MORE CULTURAL VALUE THAN THIS
