With any luck, he just rented it.

Anyone watching Criminal Minds? Alex O'Loughlin from Moonlight is guesting as a creepy scary killer with OCD tendencies.
He's extremely unnerving.

yeah, but the OCD thing didn't ring true for me. A guy who cuts his sandwich in perfect squares isn't going to drink from the milk carton. The guy who would lay out his clothes in perfect layers wouldn't go to the door with an untucked shirt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What happens to OCD people when they snap? I thought that's what the milk carton was supposed to represent, but perhaps they get more OCD, not less.
I dunno.

Monk became a crazy person and was committed in Season 2 wasn't he?
Oh, you mean that isn't true to life?

That's how I took it-- as far as potential snappage, I suppose it's one of those things that varies from case to case.

I was half watching CM, was there an explination given for why he was walking down that alley?

No, they never did. I was ENTIRELY squicked by him putting BREAD in his gunshot wounds. I mean who the hell does that? Are they trying to use that to say he's extra crazy? It just doesn't make any sense.

The whole thing did not really hold together for me.

I think he was just a extra-crunchy mix of craxy. Just everything short-circuiting at once.
He certainly made for an interesting character and I really enjoyed watching O'Loughlin play him-- such a difference from Mick St. John.
ETA: The story did have some holes and jumps that bugged, but I stand by liking how O'Loughlin portrayed the character.
