Didn't totally hate Life tonight, except... is it just me, or did Dani's boobs increase by two cup sizes again?

Bwah!

And next week: the Russians!

I've very worried about Ted.

Also, not understanding how that cop slipped the gun and coke onto the seat. Was the window open?

I didn't notice Dani's boobs, but man, that last scene left me with chills.

The cop didn't plant the gun and coke; they were planted before Ted started driving the car, and the cops were put on him to tail him, waiting for him to do something worth getting pulled over for. I'm worried about him too.

I really enjoy Arkin in this role--so many times he plays an arrogant guy, or a defensive guy, or a guy with a level of confidence in him that seems untouchable; and you can kind of see that in Ted, in the Ted that used to be. But it's so very much not Ted now, and I really appreciate that quality in his acting.

Ooh, it's a switcheroo on last night's Law & Order -- I thought Heather Materazzo was the famous-guest-star-actual-killer, but no! Vivica Fox takes the crown. Apparently.

Yes.

Apparently.

Actually - I thought that was another weak episode. (Compared to last week's.)

c.s.i.: evil cliffhanger.

Was that it for 2008?

c.s.i.: evil cliffhanger.

Yeah it was. No new ep until 15 January. I wasn't super sure that the whole connecting-recent-case-to-old-crime thing worked, and it felt a little more like watching an episode of Criminal Minds than an ep of CSI, but still.

(I really want Grissom to go to Lady Heather at the end of his run, but he'll probably go to Sara.)

feh. I'm sure that it's going to be Sara, because otherwise, he wouldn't have to leave. I never liked the character of Sara, and I liked her even less when they got involved. I loved Lady Heather from the very beginning. I loved her when she was reading Grissom perfectly, I loved her when she was beating the shit out of the guy who killed her daughter. I got a little teary when the moment she said "I think that you just said 'stop' "

Lady Heather is probably one of my favorite characters in any show I watch; I loved how she always had Grissom's number, about the things he wasn't willing to admit to himself; I love that they have always had a very adult relationship, as compared to the hero-worshipping mentor thing with Grissom/Sara that always smacked of "they are so not in the same place, and it shows." I love that he went to Heather when he needed comfort, and that it threw Heather off her game enough for it to be effortless. They are my sunset ending for Grissom, and I am certain I will be nothing but disappointed at how he actually exits.

Part of me hopes he goes off alone. I just think that's ultimately fitting for Grissom. I'd like that to occur now

and then him show up periodically as the script calls for him to and then maybe in a year, he ends up with Heather.

FWIW - I want Lady Heather to show up on CSI every so often with our without Grissom. I think she could help CSI investigation, especially given her new profession.

What is her new profession? I gave up CSI a couple of seasons ago.
