So who watched Chicago PD on Universal Channel last week? I freaking loved it and I nailed most of the characters in my post last week 7 Essential Characters in Every Kick-ass Crime Show. Here are my favourite bits.

Sergeant Hank Voight.
The quintessential good cop/bad cop. The kind of bleeding heart bad-ass that can’t help himself from rescuing the youngest member of the gang who witnessed a brutal murder. He hands the kid his card and offers to ‘get him out’. Oh Hank, you big ol’ softie!

The Columbian drug ring
I love a Columbian drug ring. Aside from the horrific murders and all that jazz there’s always this lovely sense of family. They’re loyal. And usually very creative with their murders which makes for excellent entertainment.

The completely unexpected death of what I thought was a main character
I cannot believe how attached I became to Sergeant Julia Willhite in such a short period of time. I was legit devastated when she got shot and died. She had kids! And a husband! I was actually just really sad about it.

The suggestion of a deeper story with the relationship between Voight and Lindsay
The older gentleman cop (Voight) shares a tender moment with the young female cop (Lindsay) that’s kind of fatherly. I suspect that she too was a kid that was rescued by Voight and I can’t wait to get the details about it. Like in Dexter when you find out that Dexter is adopted and his dad rescued him from a shipping container where his mother was murdered in front of him.

Detective Jay (from Chicago Fire)
He’s hot and he totally punches up a bunch of kids on the street for disrespecting Sergeant Lindsay. I love that television cops can totally get away with just randomly beating up punks on the street.

There was one bit in the beginning though that got me thinking about what I’d do if I killed someone. So the drug ring is leaving behind a series of brutal murders and Sergeant Hank Voight is investigating them. In the end they figure out this guy Pulpo is the leader. Now this Pulpo guy kills a ridiculous amount of people and there’s always a witness. This means a whole lot of bodies that require moving/disposing of and lots of these bodies are big burly men. Not exactly easy to move on your own so he’s going to need help. Because I’m really weird I actually thought how nice it is that Pulpo has a whole lot of friends and family that would help him. Then I got thinking about the practicality of who I would call if I had killed someone and had to move the body.
I honestly don’t think there’s anyone I could call. Mr Smaggle is too honest. He’d make me go to the police. So would Mama and Daddy Smaggle. My best mate is tiny so physically speaking she wouldn’t be a very good choice – she’s also very enthusiastic about pretty much everything and I just couldn’t trust her to be cool about it – she’d make us matching t-shirts that said ‘Body Moving Besties’ or write us a theme song or something equally as unsubtle. I was actually kind of disappointed. Not that I’m considering killing someone but it would be nice to know I have options.
This is something I’ve discussed many times with my mates. My bestie and I actually made a video called How to Transport A Dead Body On A Bike because we saw a play where a guy had ridden the body of a girl he killed over to his best mates house on a push bike. We thought it sounded really far-fetched so we went to the park to see if it was do-able. It turns out, it’s very doable… click here for proof.

What about you? If you killed someone who would you ask to help move the body? Do you have a person you can call? Or are they all useless like my mates?

God you make me laugh Smags! Also, is that what happened in Dexter or did you make that up?

No that actually happened. You find out in one of the seasons that Dexter is adopted and he gets adopted by his cop dad because he finds him in a shipping container covered in his mother’s blood and next her dead body. It’s in the Ice Truck Killer season. Such a great plot twist.

This made me laugh hun! There’s actually a speech in Grey’s Anatomy from Christina when she’s trying to explain to her boyfriend that Meredith is her ‘person’, that if she killed someone, she would be the one she called to help her move the corpse and that’s where I thought you found the idea after reading the title!
Love a bit of Chicago PD/Fire and I think you’re spot on with the character analysis!
I absolutely do have a friend I would call to help me move the body but the guilt would eventually send us over the edge so at least we’d end up in the beds next to each other in the mental ward! 😀

Oh I totally remember that! That was such a cute episode. That’s the thing I do have some friends who could help but it all depends on how damaged they’d be afterwards.

you aren’t allowed to kill anyone smags!
clearly, you’ve been watching wayyy too many of those programs!
not good for the psyche hun!
maybe you are going to write a “who done it!”book! … lol m:)X-
Ha! Oh it’s all in good fun! It has been a very crime-y month here on Smags hasn’t it?

Useless? Fuck you Smaggle. We’re doing this. This is a thing now. I’ve got a car (i’d have to take the baby stroller out of the back first)- we’ll need a shovel (two if you want to make a team building thing of it), some bleach, three or four garbage bags, a sack of lye and some doritos (not essential to the process but i find everything goes better with chips). Maybe a small tree and some guy that doesn’t speak conversational English.
Let’s do this- and if you blouse out, so help me you’ll be the next one in that hole.
now, do you want to saw off the hands or hammer the dental work?

No way dude, you don’t have a license. I might need to make a quick get away and we’ll just be wasting time if you’re sitting in the passenger seat waiting for me get in and start the car. Not happening.

I totally want a Body Moving Besties t shirt now.

This post has made me re-think all my friendships…Haha thanks!
-
Funny video! Basket face wins with cowgirl a close second
-
I say study Weekend at Bernies carefully and your video and you pretty much don’t need anyone else to help you!
-
I think I have several friends I could call on. Is that even more worrying?
-
GiVen my past occupation it would be fairly easy I reckon!! Rigor mortis is always a problem with moving those who have expired. Perhaps a further development of this topic would be to ask ‘How could I accomplish this task without leaving/picking up any forensic evidence’. Many have tried but few have succeeded. Stay beautiful Smag
