I love how they have that George Wendt look alike in homicide eating something every time he is on camera.

Not far into season 5 but I can already tell it's the weakest of the bunch.

I hate that Munch has that cameo. He is playing John Munch in a bar, while one his former partners is playing a different character (clark johnson) who enters the bar with the guy that the Munch character is originally loosely based on.

too many colliding worlds.

Yea, that was weird. Also:
Spoiler: show
We never find out more about the captain's closeted life, after his brief scene in the gay bar. WTF?!

Im totally okay with that. A brief moment of humanization. It doesn't need further explaining.
