Dear The Closer

Dear The Closer,

You like to point out that you're the most watched drama on cable. Please act like people are watching.

For example, if you need to have a closeup on a missing person's photo on top of what is presumably some sort of official document, please remember that you are filming in HD, and that even if people do not freeze-frame, a number of words will jump out at the casual reader.

I don't expect you to fabricate files for any such situation, but in choosing a preexisting document, you should try to find something that generally matches.

The manifesto of the Unabomber is not a document that blends well in situations like this. Especially when the section you choose to put up front is the Unabombers ravings on "feelings of inferiority" among "Leftists," which includes lines like "Those who are most sensitive about "politically incorrect" terminology are not the average black ghetto-dweller, Asian immigrant, abused woman or disabled person, but a minority of activists, many of whom do not even belong to any "oppressed" group but come from privileged strata of society."

In summary, please take a hard look at your art department.
