This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

“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.

Does the eyeball have to be anyone we know? I just thought it was the next victim's.
