Writer's Block: In a Jam

Honestly, the first person to mind was Jessica Fletcher. No, I'm serious here. That busybody always got her man and cleared her friends/relatives (and really who'd want to know or be related to her since you were always going to get blamed for murder that way). She wasn't bound by any legalities that I could see. She was always good for doing whatever the heck she wanted to solve her cases.


Odo from Deep Space Nine also leaps to the forefront because he is so totally dedicated to his job. (well until they decided he needed to be in love with Kira). The man can shape shift and go just about anywhere. And if i'm lucky I can sit in Quark's drinking and playing dabo until i'm cleared.

That's scary, because I almost included Jessica Fletcher in my list, too.

I have no idea who Jessica Fletcher is. But I am in total agreement about Odo. He's just so cool. and better for him to be in love with Kira than Luxanna Troi, ne? Luxanna X Odo was just... odious... *rolls eyes*

Jessica Fletcher? Murder she Wrote? Was on for over a decade in the 80's-90s

oh lord no. HATED Kira. Luxanna I could have deal with

haha I would have put in Maes if you hadn't

What of Gibbs and his gut?

Sadly, Craig Ferguson has changed forever my view of Jessica Fletcher. "HAS THERE BEEN A MURDER?!?"

Good point about Odo.

I'm going to answer here because I wouldn't want to confuse anyone with two posts in only a few hours!!

I tend to go to the two who formed the basis on which I evaluate all the others: I wore out my two volume Complete Sherlock Holmes by the time I was about 12, and Miss Marple was the first one for whom I personally made a point of collecting all the books. From a missing trinket to murder most foul, there was nothing these two couldn't tackle and solve. And oddly, both used rather similar methods: a specialized knowledge and a very good understanding of human behavior.

I'm with you - Jessica would be my pick too. She also knows everyone, literally everyone, spanning the globe (with lots of people in high places), and she has impeccable integrity. If anyone else were coincidentally in that many places when people were murdered, they would have been locked up years ago.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah no kidding.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

haha I have no qualms about flooding the flist apparently.

I'm sort of ashamed, as a mystery reader, that none of my picks came from books. Miss Marple (no doubt the inspiration in many ways for Jessica) and Sherlock are excellent choices

i fear to know

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

as wildrider said that would be a fine team except I'm not navy or marine.

ANd I'd keep distracting them all with sex

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

You STILL could've included him! He deserves it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i should have inlcuded Sherlock, the REAL Tempe Brennan (as opposed to Bones), anyoneby Agatha Christie and hell Angel Investigations

It's a recurring skit, "Murder She Wrote 2008," where Ferguson plays Jessica Fletcher. It's a general riot.

Theeeeere's a crossover waiting to happen.

A.I. & Dresden.

ooOOOoOOoO....

"Cordy, Thomas is a vampire."

"He can't be a vampire, he's charming. And cute. Vampires aren't charming and cute."
