Rizzolli and Isles: This weeks twist was so obvious, but maybe it is because I am so familiar with the guest actress from NCIS.

and also because there was no reason for Lola to be featured so prominently. I suspected that she was working with (I want to call him Foyet, but I can't remember his name), but I didn't think that she was the missing woman.

I was hearing Hoyt, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, I didn't expect the Stockholm syndrome angle, but I figured she was in cahoots.

but I didn't think that she was the missing woman.

I immediately recognized her picture from the file.

I'm making my way through my stack of newly-purchased Criminal Minds dvds. Just got finished with "Profiler, Profiled," the Morgan ep where we learn about The Damage In His Past, and boy, does Shemar knock it out of the park. And that little beat when Hotch and Gideon are discussing Morgan's previously-unknown juvie record, and Hotch slips and calls him a suspect, which Gideon immediately points out to Hotch--ouch.

In one of the eps I watched last night (can't remember which), there's a great little bit where someone (JJ and Gideon, I think?) are talking in the foreground at a police station, and Reid is fiddling with something while sitting in the background. It took me a while to figure out that Reid is using a pencil to pick the lock on a pair of handcuffs! Nothing is said about this, but he's just doing his usual Reid thing and constantly moving/twitching/doing something with his hands while others are talking and he's listening. Wonder if it was a directorial decision, or something MGG came up with.

True Night: Morgan and Reid arriving at the crime scene in a conversation about traffic, Reid is reciting information from Government reports and getting on Morgan's last nerve until he gets fed up and says "Don't make me smack you in front of all these people."

And then at the end of the episode Morgan does smack Reid while they're on the plane, and JJ says, "Boys, don't make me ground you."

CM did a better job of filming a Frank Miller style comic than Sin City did.

Just finished watching erailed and The Popular Kids. Good Reid eps - he plays a key role in the arrest of both perpetrators, and gets some good lines in each of them. Also, while neither of them are light-hearted, the crimes in each of them are really pretty straghtforward - not particularly gruesome, disturbing or horrific.

I suspect the next eps will be different, given they're entitled "Blood Hungry" and "What Fresh Hell?".

Ok, just started on "What Fresh Hell?". OPening scene has a girls' soccer coach training her team bickering with her daughter. I'm having trouble not picturing her shouting "You think this is hard? Try being waterboarded, that's hard!"

More CM. I'm getting the Gideon dislike from "Blood Hungry", where he takes over Garcia's office and treats her as his girl Friday. As Garcia is a bit awesome, this is inexcusable.

Meanwhile, in "Poison", Elle has just helpfully explained to the rest fo the team that Rohypnol is a date rape drug also known as roofies. I know it's audience exposition, but seriously, it's credible that Reid, Gideon, Hotch and Morgan need this spelled out to them?
