Episode 18: "Officer-involved Shooting"

[mlm828]

I've posted new story, "Episode 18: 'Officer-involved Shooting'," in the Fan Fiction section here and at ff.net: www.fanfiction.net/s/2803412/1/

It deals with some difficult issues I would have liked to see Blind Justice tackle in a second season.

I really liked it. And I did not see the thing about Karen's brother coming at all. It brought a lot of emotions out in me as I was reading it. Keep it up!

Of course, this is to be continued, right? For several episodes, right? Because now you owe us the remainder of Season Two!

You have led so brilliantly into the conflicts - all the conflicts, with Marty, with Christie, with their home life, with his relationship with the squad and with all of those proponents of Jim not "even being a detective" - and we now need to see how all of these conflicts work out!

What is so nice about this is that it is fan fiction, but done episodically - you are getting very adept at it!

So, bring on Episode 19! Please?

I'm so glad you keep getting those little bursts of inspiration! You set up a very interesting premise in this episode--Marty being taken off the job temporarily because of something that happened with Jim out in the field. This brings up all sorts of conflicts and could setup more Jim/Marty angst--proving everything wasn't solved during Season One. This type of angst could go even deeper because of the relationship that has grown between the two men after months of working together.

I also liked the Jim/Christie interaction. It was realistic and not too over-the-top.

I really liked it, especially the look into Karen's personal life! Nice touch that it was Jim prodding Karen into admitting why she wasn't alright. Its a logical turn of events that now that Jim isn't caring a gun some other factor would surface to threaten his career. You know they would never be happy and never leave well enough alone.
