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.

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.

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.

I think of "The Mentalist" as more of a "House" ripoff than "Psych."

They've riffed on it a few times in promos for Psych. On the surface, I see the similarity - person with special observational skills uses those skills to see beyond the obvious to solve crimes. Only difference is that Jane admitted he was a fake, while Sean is still riding the wave. Oh, and Gus is a much better sidekick than Lisbbon. But maybe not Cho.

I think the premise kind of is, but in execution they're different enough that I don't much link them.
