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

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.

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?

“Not dead yet!”

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.

I thought that Megan's boss was already a friend: i.e., that they knew each other before she came to work for the ME's office.

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

WHY ARE YOU CHEATING ON NEAL, PETER? IS IT BECAUSE OF THE WAREHOUSE OF LOOTED GOODS?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Barb: Hee.

Indeed. That was a perfect ep.

Interesting. Thanks for that bit of info, Barb. I'm glad to hear it's not a made up position just so that Delany's character has someone to talk to.

What did the end of NCIS mean? Whose eyeball was that? I blinked and missed it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Whose eyeball was that? I blinked and missed it.

I look forward to being horrified by this. But I'll try and figure out who owned the, I assume, out-of-body eye.
