I was watching last night's rerun of the Criminal Minds S6 finale, and saw a promo for the new season in the middle. There was one shot where everyone was in the round table room, and there was a guy standing next to JJ whom I couldn't ID right away until the light bulb went on. Whitefonted because I can't remember of promos should be spoilerfonted or not: OMG, Hotch has a beard! And was wearing casual clothes at the office !

So true. I do love Lucifer as her attorney.
Holy crap. I just caught a re-run while piddling around in the hotel... that's who that was! I knew I knew the actor, but I could completely not figure it out. He's great as her attorney. It was the one where he observed her doing the interrogation of... well, Beverly from Eureka. Too funny.

Just caught up with last nights Closer. If we still do Persians Brenda M. And Morgana totally get umpteen million Persians for calling where this was going:
Complete prescience.
Read down a few post from the link for full Brenda and Morgana interaction on this.

And because I wanted to leave the props in their own post:
Anyone but me think the leak will end up being a bug, not a person.? Placed by the Lawyer on one of his many visits to taunt Brenda. And that is also how the Federal lawsuit goes away - having committed a felony gives them a lever against the lawyer.
Further guess: The series ends with both the Lawyer and Brenda losing their career. Either jail for the lawyer and firing for Brenda,or they make a deal where she gives up law enforcement and he gives up law. If he did bug the station I kind of like the symmetry where they both lose their careers for letting the end justify the means once too often.
But I like the deal better of my two guesses cause of Brenda never faces murder charges I'd hate the lawyer to face joil for planting a bug. Ending the series with a deal would be - satisfying - somehow.

I read somewhere that the leak is Pope, because he's trying to discredit Brenda so that she won't be considered for the chief post.
It's bothering me that they never resolved why the guy was going to kill Brenda. It sounded to me that killing her was premeditated. He had to know that he wouldn't get out of there alive, and he didn't seem happy about killing her in the first place, he was crying.
Also, they have got to cast better. when I saw the maitre'd at the first questioning, I knew that he had to be involved somehow, since I recognized him. Get some unknowns people, it telegraphs a character's importance to the story when you cast someone recognizable. Or is it just that I happen to notice these things?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That particular non-unknown is pretty much always shady too. I've only seem him sympathetic once. And he was mega-douchey on CSI:Miami.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
No, you're totally right, Vortex. I knew the restaurant guy had to be up to something because I recognized the actor.

Well, Raider (Rayder?) and Fritz have both been trying to get Brenda to not trust Pope.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm annoyed that they ended this half of the season without at least giving us a clue to who the leak might be.
I read somewhere that the leak is Pope, because he's trying to discredit Brenda so that she won't be considered for the chief post.
This makes the most sense right now or the bugged office theory. I just can't imagine one of Brenda's actual team betraying her. Although I guess it could be Commander Taylor, he has always been jealous of Brenda.
It's bothering me that they never resolved why the guy was going to kill Brenda. It sounded to me that killing her was premeditated. He had to know that he wouldn't get out of there alive, and he didn't seem happy about killing her in the first place, he was crying.
I'm hoping that they pick this up again for the winter season, because you're right, there definitely seemed to be something more going on there.
Also, they have got to cast better.
I think most procedurals could take this advice. I tend to figure out early who it is based solely on casting.
