Rating the Kommissar Rex/Il Commissario Rex/Hudson and Rex human partners for funsies, in chronological order. Contains spoilers, some bias, and opinions based on superficial characteristics. I will take the blame for any distorted memories I have of the shows, although I did a full rewatch last summer. (Rewatch refers to Kommissar Rex and Hudson and Rex. I could only watch Il Commissario Rex once. Well, 0.75 times. I couldn’t find some of the episodes.)

Kommissar Rex

Richard Moser: The blueprint. Not necessarily the best one in my opinion (although if you ask kid me, yes), but they modeled at least two other characters after him in the reboots. Pretty nice (although a product of his time), street smart, recently divorced, and the first few episodes where he and Rex are getting used to living together are hilarious. Moser’s dry humor was good too, also his whump scenes where great. And I appreciated the nude scenes a lot (thanks, German tv of the 90s). 8/10

Alex Brandtner: The hot one. Also, more of a “new age” cop (new age here means post 90s, don’t get confused). Kid me didn’t appreciate the hotness but I watched it in my teen years, and oh boy. And the action scenes, while sometimes ridiculous and making you wonder why???, really showed the actor’s training in physical scenes too. I always liked the way Brandtner immediately bonded with Rex and then we learn of the tragedy with his own dog. Too bad his love life was even more non-existent than Moser’s. 9/10

Marc Hoffmann: I’ll be honest, I just didn’t care for him for the most part, but I did like the fact that for the first time there was a ship with him and Nikki. They went for a different style with this one and it shows. Marc is less type A than the previous two, not a bad thing, but by that point, it was clear that Kommissar Rex as a show was nearing its end and I think it sometimes showed. 7/10

-----

Il Commissario Rex (At this point, let me just say that I don’t associate the two shows with each other. And whoever has watched both, would probably agree with me. It hardly matters that the Italian show starts as a spinoff.)

Lorenzo Fabbri: Ugh, I don’t know what it is with this guy but I didn’t like him much. His style was a lot like Moser at first (adopting Rex, saving him from a miserable fate, learning to live with him, etc.). I absolutely hated the storyline with the forensics scientist throwing herself at him every chance she got and him trying to avoid her instead of flat out telling her he’s not interested, and then at some point they slept together??? Anyway, did not like. 6/10

Davide Rivera: I liked that guy but sadly we didn’t have that many episodes with him. He could have had more to offer as a character. More quiet than the sometimes too loud Lorenzo, and took some time to warm up to Rex if I recall. I liked that he took no flack from his boss (Sidenote: the boss didn’t like Rex at first and kept wanting to get rid of him, and I wanted to rip him to shreds). 7/10

Marco Terzani: I literally found one season of his episodes, so I’ll reserve judgment (if anyone has his second and third season, please give it to me lol or point to the right direction). He seems kinda reckless? He’s definitely attractive. ?/10, more research needed.

----

Hudson and Rex

Charlie Hudson: Started off as kind of mediocre for me, then he made me change my mind. When I started watching, I was hellbent on comparing every single thing of this show to the characters of the original at first, so I’m partially to blame for my initial perception of him. However, I won’t blame myself for the bad writing, pacing, and overall mediocrity of S1 that contributed to a big part of it. Anyway, they used some of Moser’s backstory (divorced, adopts Rex after his K-9 partner tragically dies) and expanded on it. Charlie has had the most development as a character than any of the others, which makes sense since he’s the first of Rex’s partners to live that long or not get rebooted lol. He definitely gets bonus points for having a love life too. And for not dying, despite all the whump situations he gets himself into. Definitely falls under the reckless category too. 70% himbo, 100% whump magnet. 9/10

#kommissar rex #inspector rex #hudson and rex #I bolded 'for funsies' so no one can tell me anything lol #like if you take this seriously that's on you #brandtner would have gotten ten if he'd banged anyone #*charlie gets a bigger review because he's stayed alive longer lol #despite his best efforts #whoever wants to disagree about the himbo thing I have one thing to say: I have evidence :P #you can tell the italian version didn't do much for me but I'm always mostly watching for the dog anyway #however just like with any other show #the more reasons you have to watch a show the better #like smart funny guys get points #handsome guys get points #female forensic scientists who don't act like the male protagonist is the only man in the world #and don't salivate in front of him and their character isn't just there to flatter the protagonist get points #at this point I have to say (yeah sorry this is never-ending)#that if hudson and rex drew inspiration for sarah from the italian forensics scientist #and managed to make such a good strong female character out of that mess #then kudos to them seriously

Goodbye Grey Sky, Hello Blue - 27

Summary: In an alternate universe where trains and zeppelins are still common forms of travel and the internet and cell phones exist, nineteen year old Peter Parker has few options left after he’s swindled out of his inheritance. Unable to pay for college, let alone keep the house left to him by his deceased aunt, he’s running out of time before he’s out on the streets. Desperate, Peter signs his life over to the Bureau of Civic Spousal Selections to take his chances as the selected husband of a complete stranger. After all, he only has to make it through a year and then he can choose to annul.

Dr. Stephen Strange has little interest in marriage, preferring to focus on his career. When his career is threatened by what a nosy board of directors considers a “lack of personal fulfillment and settling down,” he opts to select a spouse through the BCSS and chooses Peter Parker. The young man’s profile he’d briefly skimmed suggests intelligence and compatibility. It’s not ideal, but if after a year it’s not working out, he can always annul the marriage and send Peter on his way.

It’s a marriage neither truly wants, with sharp learning curves for both. It’s either going to be forever or it’s going to go down in flames.

Chapter 27

----

Stephen was not at all happy. He knew he was being ridiculous, he did! But he couldn't come up with a rational, reasonable excuse for not letting Peter do it.

So he sat and gave Peter his full attention as Peter showed him his plans for the front flower beds and flower boxes. Peter wanted to plant creeping thyme, clematis 'Nelly Moser,' New North England Aster, flox 'David', and a variety of peonies to start. His plans for the flower boxes included petunias, zinnias, and begonias filled in with ivy and heather. He had more ideas for some shrubbery around the house that would give off more of a wild and whimsical look than Stephen would have ever considered.

He had to admit that the drawings and plans Peter had done were gorgeous and when done, would look very attractive. No other house in the neighborhood would look nearly as nice. But many ladies, unfortunately, would look at Peter while it was in progress. Dammit.

"What do you think?" Peter asked. He'd explained how they lived in "Zone 6" and that the some of the planting would be would be staggered through early spring to early fall. All of it was so far out of Stephen's realm of understanding. Before Peter, he'd just paid the local nursery and landscaping company to manage the flower beds and boxes for him.

"I think it will be a lot of work for you but will be very nice when done."

Peter beamed. "I'm planning on visiting the local nursery with Ava next week. She's more into vegetable gardening, but she wants to help.

"And you'll help her?"

"That's the plan," Peter confirmed. "I love learning to do new things, so it'll work out really well." He straightened the papers and set them down neatly. "You're really okay with it?"

"I am," he said. And it was more true than not. Stephen would just have to make peace with the fact that the Desperate Dahlias would enjoy the show. As long as they didn't approach and definitely did not touch he'd make himself live with it. Peter was an attractive young man. It was only natural for others to appreciate that, even if he himself was annoyed by it.

Peter checked Stephen's watch. It was only two in the afternoon. Their reservations for dinner weren't until seven.

"Can we go upstairs?" Peter asked shyly.

Peter had been... not different since their check-in at the BCSS, but more settled. He was still a brat and a smartass but he'd started initiating intimate moments with Stephen outside of just getting on his knees. He'd hoped that Peter would eventually want him just as desperately and it seemed he'd gotten his wish.

"Yes," he confirmed.

"Y-yes, please, I'm so close, yeah, NO!"

Peter's held fell back against the pillow as Stephen sat back.

"Patience," he reminded teasingly.

"Ben zona!" Peter swore. "Zine behsechel!"

Stephen had no idea what he'd just said, but he imagined it wasn't very flattering. That Peter was swearing at him in what he assumed was Hebrew amused him more than anything.

"Stephen, come on," Peter whined. He was flushed and sweaty but oh, he looked gorgeous.

"There's no rush," Stephen told him. He was enjoying this far more than he'd anticipated. Edging the young man could easily become his new favorite hobby.

So far he'd brought Peter to the brink of orgasm three separate times only to stop just before he could tip over that glorious peak. Each time had Peter swearing - again, in a language Stephen didn't know, so it wasn't like he would punish him for it - and begging. Even though Stephen adored the sounds Peter made when he did find release, he was enjoying Peter's frustration and tears tremendously.

He's so beautiful. So mine.

"There's no rush for you," Peter countered, tugging at the neckties that bound his wrists to the headboard. "Why are you even doing this?"

"Because I enjoy it," Stephen said simply.

"At least one of us does," Peter muttered.

Stephen chuckled. "I sure you'll find you're enjoying it a lot more than you think." He squirted more lubricant into his palm and with Peter watching him warily, began to stroke his pretty pink leaking cock.

As if on cue Peter's eyes rolled back and he moaned. "Stephen, yes, oh hell just like that." His hips rocked up into Stephen's hand, trying to get more touch, more sensation.

He let Peter get away with it and continued his steady stroking as he savored every whimper and moan he drew out of his young husband. He watched as Peter's abdominal muscles contracted and his toes curled. Twisting his wrist every so often and never in a clear pattern, he worked Peter over until he once again started begging.

"Please, Stephen, 'm so close, please Stephen, I've been so good, right there just let m-" he stopped begging and then yelled as Stephen took his hand away before he could finish.

"Stephen!"

Heavens, those angry tears were beautiful.

"Settle down," he warned. "It's my cock, remember? I own it just like I own the rest of you and I decide when it gets spill or when it's going to dribble while locked up its pretty little cage." He trailed a finger up and down the flushed shaft. "It's my right as your selecting spouse, after all."

Peter's cock twitched at his words and he looked to see that Peter's eyes were just a little glassy.

"And you like that. You enjoy when I assert my rights to your body as your selecting spouse. You want me to use you as I see fit, don't you?"

Peter said nothing, the stubborn little brat.

"Answer me or I will go downstairs and bring up an ice pack."

"I enjoy it," Peter whispered, swallowing hard.

"Tell me what you want," Stephen ordered. He trailed his finger up and down Peter's cock again.

"I want- I want you to make me come please," Peter said, voice ending on a small whine. "Use me how you want and please let me come."

Stephen grabbed the lubricant. "Spread your legs."

Peter spread them and watched him eagerly as he slicked his fingers.

He'd never get tired of how Peter obeyed him in bed, he thought. Oh, sometimes Peter's bratty, defiant streak appeared but Stephen enjoyed taming it. It would be so dull if Peter didn't have a mind of his own and his own desires.

He always took his time getting Peter ready for his cock, partly because he didn't want to hurt his young husband and partly because he enjoyed touching him so intimately. Months later and sometimes he could still hardly believe that Peter was his to touch.

Stephen probably should have let Peter come once he finally slid inside, but he was enjoying the sight of Peter's sexual frustration too much, so he stopped thrusting just before Peter could tip over.

Denied his orgasm once more, Peter swore at him - he'd have to ask Ben just what exactly 'Mamzer!' meant, though from Peter's tone and resulting glare, he had a fairly good idea.

Enjoying himself thoroughly, Stephen kissed Peter. "Trust me," he urged, and began to thrust again. This time he didn't stop, just angled his hips in the way he knew would have Peter moaning.

It didn't take long before Peter was coming between them, his release hitting both of their stomachs. His eyes had a hazy blissed out look to them. Stephen continued driving in and out of Peter, searching for his own completion. When he hit his peak he came inside Peter with a loud groan and barely caught himself before collapsing on top of his young husband. He pulled out with a small measure of regret, but Peter's needs were more important at the moment.

"Absolutely perfect," he whispered as he untied Peter's wrists. He rubbed them gently and kissed each, ensuring there was no damage to the skin and satisfying himself that blood flow was unimpeded. "You were wonderful," he added. "Stay here and I'll be right back."

Peter was shivering by the time he returned with the usual warm washcloth. He soothed Peter as he gently cleaned him, then pulled him into his arms to just hold him.

"I hate when you're right," Peter finally grumbled out nearly an hour later. He'd long since stopped shaking and even cuddled into Stephen's arms. "It was awful while it was happening but when I finally got to come it was great."

"There's nothing wrong with enjoying what we did," Stephen assured him. "Take your time and think about it. If you really don't like edging, we don't have to do it again."

"Is that what it's called?"

"Edging? Yes."

"Let me think on it, when I'm not drifting in some weird floaty mood." He looked up at Stephen. "We're not going to miss our reservation, are we? I really don't want to cook right now."

"No, we have plenty of time yet. We'll shower and dress and then head out. Unless you don't feel up to going out? I know you weren't expecting what we did."

What I did.

"I'm fine," Peter insisted. "And I did enjoy it, for the most part. It was just a lot, you know?"

"I know."

If Stephen was extra attentive during their shower and later during their dinner, well, Peter had more than earned it.

Peter meeting Len's husband Jim was almost as headache-inducing as Peter meeting Tony had been.

Both Peter and Jim were entirely too smart for their own good and if they both weren't so occupied with being a house husband and aeronautical engineer, respectively, Stephen rather thought they'd get into all sorts of trouble if left together and to their own devices.

Judging by the look on Len's face, Len thought the same.

It was entirely chance that they all happened to be in Upper York for the Stratten Spring Festival but once they'd been spotted, it wasn't exactly like Stephen and Len could ignore each other.

They ended up watching, amused as Jim and Peter hurried around excitedly. Peter told Jim all about his plans for the flower beds and what progress he'd already made. Jim didn't have as much of a green thumb but listened to Peter with a careful ear, even if he made sure to stay away from certain plants that local nurseries had on display.

"He's allergic to damn near everything," Len grumbled to Stephen. "The allergy meds I shot him up with this morning deserve a round of applause at this point. At least he knows what plants to stay away from." He motioned to the messenger bag he carried. "And the next doses are coming up soon."

"You should give Peter the list," Stephen said. "He wants to have you and Jim over for dinner, along with Nurse Chapel and her fellow."

Len looked amused. "Did he finally get over his embarrassment that she gave him his Protoflu shot in the rear?"

Stephen smirked. "He gets embarrassed over the smallest things. It's delightful."

"I keep the list of Jim's allergies on my Mobile. Give me Peter's number and I'll forward it on to him. I hear he's a damn good cook."

"He is," Stephen confirmed. "I didn't even notice the little substitutions he made in all of the food before I learned he observed kosher rules."

"Ben couldn't stop raving about him," Len said. "I'll admit I'm damned glad Jim and I aren't expected to have folk around for dinner parties. It'd be hit or miss given his schedule."

"You're a lucky man," Stephen said. "It's such a pain in the ass dealing with it all; thankfully Peter always does a fantastic job and it keeps the board of directors and various donors from bothering me."

"I'm happy things are working out for you." He paused as if considering his next words. "Most of us at Sanctum General are, you know."

"I didn't know that, no," Stephen finally admitted. "Len, these past two years I've felt all alone."

Len shrugged. "You did the right thing, Stephen. That's all any of us can do and knowing what you risked to do it gained you a lot of admirers, professionally speaking. You've honestly never noticed how no one really engages with that group unless they have to?"

He hadn't, no. He'd buried himself in his work after their falling out and it never occurred to him to gauge how anyone not involved had felt. Good grief he'd been a self-absorbed ass! "I really haven't," he admitted. "I've still spoken with coworkers like yourself, Ben, Misty, and Christine, but no one's ever really approached me. I know I've kept to myself, though."

"Every dog's entitled to time lickin' it's paw after getting stuck with a thorn," Len said. "But I'm glad you're starting to get back out in the world." He shot Stephen a sly smile. "I'm supposed to be the miserable, unapproachable doctor on staff and I haven't much enjoyed sharin' that title."

"Your Southern is showing," Stephen teased.

"Yeah, well, sometimes it's needed."

"Stephen!" Peter and Jim came running over to where he stood with Len. "They have a tilt-a-whirl!"

"And over at the lake they have bumper boats!" Jim fairly bounced as he announced that fact. "And a devil's wheel!"

Beside him, Len sighed heavily. "If you get sick and vomit everywhere I'm not cleaning you up!"

"Can I go?" Peter asked Stephen, all eager hopefulness. "Please? I haven't been on some of these rides before. The merry mixer looks like it's so much fun!"

Stephen gave Peter a few bills to buy a wrist band that would allow him to ride anything at the festival. "I'm not cleaning you up, either," he warned.

"Don't worry," Jim said, slinging an arm around Peter's shoulders. "I'll stay with him the whole time!"

The two took off and knowing they'd be occupied for at least an hour, Stephen and Len settled themselves at one of the many picnic tables set up. When they saw Ben and Alicia, Len waved them over.

"Who's watching the damned hospital?" Len wondered aloud.

"Well, Misty and Sam are at his sister's wedding down in Louisiana and Nic is attending a conference for cardiac surgeons over in Lancaster," Ben said. "That leaves the C team at the helm."

Stephen couldn't help but laugh. It was good to have friends again.

"How's my favorite surgeon?"

Stephen smiled and leaned back in his office chair, grateful for the quiet stretch in his otherwise busy day. "I'm good. How's my favorite former special agent?"

"Well, Tony's spawn refuses to stop kicking my bladder and I'm only able to manage a brisk, thirty-minute walk on the treadmill instead of running, so overall I'm doing great."

"I'm glad to hear it. Just do what your obstetrician recommends and you'll continue doing great. I was calling to see if you've made any more progress on tracking down Beck?"

There was a pause and Stephen just knew it wasn't good news.

"My official update is that I can't give you an update," she sighed. "Last week I got called off by someone at the Bureau. My bureau, that is. It turns out that Beck is the subject of an on-going case and the agent in charge doesn't appreciate my snooping around."

He couldn't be too surprised at the news, even if he was annoyed. "What's your unofficial update?" Stephen asked.

"Unofficially? I know an agent or two who are willing to play ball. Give me some time and I'll see about arranging a meet with them, if you want."

Stephen considered. "My place or yours?"

He could practically hear her wince as she answered, "It would have to be my place. Stephen, I swear, if I even look up at a zeppelin while we're outside, Tony breaks out in hives." She muttered something under her breath that sounded suspiciously like "Such a wonderful, sweet, unreasonable pain in my ass."

"Well, I was planning on visiting in the next month or so," he said. "I know Peter would love to see you and Tony again; he talks about you all the time."

"What exactly is your goal here? Revenge?"

She'd avoided asking this entire time and he'd wondered when she finally would.

"Ideally? I'd like to get Peter's money back. Barring that, I'd like to see Beck in a world of pain." Something about people who took advantage of others who were struggling or hurting just boiled his blood. They were the worst of the worst, in his opinion.

"The first one isn't likely but the second? I know the agent heading up the case and the other agents involved; I need you to trust me when I tell you that Quentin Beck is done for."

There was that, at least.

They spoke for another half an hour, sharing various life updates. He learned that Tony had a number of plans and contingencies drawn up for when Sharon eventually went into labor. "He's insane," she told him. Considering the man had considered what to do in the extremely unlikely events she'd have to deliver while at sea or while on a zeppelin (that Tony didn't even like her looking at), Stephen couldn't exactly disagree.

Meanwhile he informed Sharon all about his and Peter's trip to the spring festival and Peter's progress on the flower beds.'"I have half a mind to put up ten foot tall hedges all around the house," he grumbled. "Or a privacy fence. Or maybe giant mirrors all around so they can see how pathetic they look while they're ogling him."

"It doesn't matter if they look," she reasoned. "Peter only has eyes for you, that much was clear."

He hoped so. He really did.

He only had eyes for Peter, as well.

Lee Miller

On April 30, 1945, photojournalists David E. Scherman and Lee Miller produced one of the most controversial photographic series of the twentieth century; while documenting Hitler's apartment on the day of his suicide, they photographed each other bathing in the Führer's tub. In Hatje Cantz's new release, Elissa Mailänder writes, "Within Germany, Hitler represented less horror and mass violence than he did rebirth and the ambitious project to Germanize Europe. Miller observed Hitler’s neighbors in Bogenhausen with perplexity: 'The attitude of these Germans was odd. They talked quite normally about... that Hitler was a great man with the right ideas, but he had been badly advised and controlled by gangsters.' Considering the widespread goodwill and profound respect for Hitler, Miller’s and Scherman’s action, as a woman and especially as a Jew, can be interpreted as an act of provocation. It was a (successful) attempt to deconstruct the Führer as a (German) identification figure and hereby to undermine his aura at a time when the war had not officially ended. Although Hitler and his wife had just taken their lives, Germany, which lay in ruins, had not yet capitulated. Embedded in that contemporaneous context, the bathtub photographs sent a clear and defiant message to Germany and international society: The Führer is dead. And now we are here."

Edited by Klaus Albrecht Schröder, Walter Moser. Text by Anna Hanreich, Astrid Mahler, Elissa Mailänder, Walter Moser, Ute Wrocklage.

Lee Miller (1907-77) began her artistic career in 1929 as a Surrealist photographer in Paris. She produced images, often in collaboration with Man Ray, in which she isolated motifs by means of tight framing and experimental techniques, and in doing so rendered visible a paradoxical reality.

This publication surveys Miller's best works, including early Surrealist compositions as well as travel photos. At the end of World War II, Miller traveled through Europe as a war reporter, producing harrowing photographs of considerable historical significance. One of her most spectacular pictures originated in late April 1945 in Adolf Hitler's city apartment at Prinzregentenplatz in Munich: Lee had a photo taken of herself sitting naked in the dictator's bathtub--not long after having captured on film the crimes committed in the concentration camps in Dachau and Buchenwald immediately after their liberation by the occupying forces (Miller was one of the first photographers to do so).
