Combination of violence and stupid things reminded me: Criminal Minds has, over the course of four seasons, substantially rewritten my reactions. I used to see an agent pursuing a suspect and think, "Shoot him, shoot him, why don't you just shoot him!" and then pause and think, "Oh, right, civil rights, trial by jury, proportionate use of force, innocent until proven guilty, all that good stuff." Now I don't have that gap between my reactions and my beliefs. I'm glad it's gone.
