L&O:LA - I didn't catch the re-premiere, I figure I'll watch it on Saturday or maybe not. Mo Ryan's review kind of confirmed what I thought it would be like - in particular general misgivings about the new DA team seem to be true:
Terrence Howard has never seemed quite comfortable in the role of deputy district attorney Jonah Dekker, and the unevenness he displayed last fall continues here. It's not exactly reassuring news to hear that Dekker will now be in every episode, instead of every other episode.
Regina Hall and Megan Boone are both gone from 'L&O: LA,' and Alana de la Garza joins the show in Monday's second episode, reprising her role as Connie Rubirosa, a deputy district attorney from the 'L&O' mothership. Despite the presence of a familiar face, however, everything to do with the D.A.'s office feels somewhat forced and unfocused.

Is anyone watching Body of Proof? It's interesting, but I am mostly enjoying the exterior shot of Providence. The Providence Public Library makes for a pretty police department headquarters.

I had no idea where the show was set. I've been watching it but I wouldn't recognize Providence in any case.

I read somewhere that it was actually set in Philly, but they actually shot the exterior stuff in Providence.

It is supposed to be set in Philly. I've been watching it and really enjoying it-- Megan is like what Brennan would be if she had a soul and a consistent sense of self-awareness.

I was thinking that too, with just a little touch of House in the super smart a little Sherlockian department.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I was thinking all of this, too! I'm starting to like it. The presence of Jeri Ryan doesn't hurt, either. Though I'm not real sure why the Department Chief needed to be a lovely young woman - is she going to become Megan's One True Friend or something? And I must have missed it, but why is that guy following Megan around? He's her liaison to something, or a bodyguard, or what?

Peter? He's a Medical Investigator, which is a position I just learned about in a forensics workshop.
They're not doctors, nor are they cops, but they're somewhere between the two-- they're often the first on the scene after the cops and they're the ones who determine whether or not the ME or coroner needs to be called in. In Seattle, at least, they can assist in autopsies and they're often the ones who are collecting evidence and taking photographs and essentially doing a lot of the dirty work, including conducting interviews and notifying families.
