Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.

This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yes. she came back midway through the season premiere. I believe in her entrance she explained why she was back: they were down a CSI and she was called to see if she is available. We also found out she married Grissom and that he is doing his think in France maybe?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They got in touch with either her or Grissom for a recommendation for a Riley-replacement and got her instead, temporarily.

Yes, they called her to see if she knew anyone, and since Grissom was lecturing at the Sorbonne for the semester, she didn't have anything better to do. @@ (I still hate her. Not as much as Riley, but I still hate her)

I join you in the hate. I always thought her and Grissom were creepy too. She doesn't strike me as healthy-attachment girl. And he needs all the mental-health help he can get. Lady Heather-shaped help.

I didn't even notice she wasn't in this week's episode, but now that it's brought up, she didn't mention she was Mrs. Grissom, so she must not have been there. @@ indeed.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

she looks so happy now, I've warmed up to her. I think Grissom had the best chemistry with Lady Heather, tho.

I loved Lady Heather. I was sorry that Grissom was not smart enough to explore that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

um, I think we are to understand they DID explore that.

I meant in a real relationship sense.

The show barely treated her as more than a curiosity. Whereas I never got over the boss/subordinate squick with Grissom and Sara, which is somewhat ironic.

It's not an inherent problem for me, but she struck me as damaged goods with an authority problem looking for a daddy, and then just ew. The part where they supposedly FFed to equals just left me behind.

Completely unrelatedly: Does anyone who likes both The Mentalist and Psych think the former is a rip of the latter?

I read an article that I think more successfully posited The Mentalist as more similar to Monk than to Psych than any of the Psych/Mentalist comparisons I've seen.
