All I want is black bean soup, and you to bring it to me...

I'm in love... with the *love*...

That moment? The moment when you're watching, and something just clicks.

Setting the scene. Case concluded. Intimate celebratory party at Hutch's, a few people involved in the case dancing around the room...to the sounds of Hutch on the guitar as he and Starsky sit singing "Be my love..." to each other, Hutch smiling fondly, Starsky very obviously can barely take his eyes off of his partner.

Have I mentioned my whole new appreciation of Starsky?

earnestly I hardly ever mock his perm anymore.

And I stay in the room for entire episodes now, car chases and cardboard bad guys and all.

It must be love.
