You want us to mourn Strauss, Criminal Minds? Really? I feel more inclined to sing "Ding, Dong, the Witch is Dead."

I liked how they ended up turning her around. I had to watch the episode where they did it twice, but I felt comfortable with it from then on.

Yes, this. Were we supposed to know that she was with Rossi before this, or was that just something cheap they threw in at the last minute so that we'd actually care that she was dead? Also, she'd been with Rossi for over a year, everyone knew it, but they weren't staying in the same hotel room?

To me this just wasn't a satisfying resolution to a year long storyline.

I'm watching an old Waking the Dead, and they have an actor on (playing an elderly WWII veteran). Not so much his face, but his voice sounded very familiar. I look him up on imdb and he was freakin' Catweazle. From forty years ago, I'm remembering his voice.

A couple of other random notes:

1. The lead actor, Trevor Eve, is Alice Eve's father. I did not know that.

2. This team is really really bad at apprehending people. I've lost count of the times they've turned up too late to save the killer's final victim (or to prevent the killer from committing suicide). Not to mention the time they just left the perp behind, so he could be killed by his bosses.

So that's it for Body of Proof. I'm a little bummed. I liked a lot of those characters and the show in general, even with the cast changes. In fact, I might have liked it a little more with the cast changes.

I hope to see them all again on different shows soon.

Her mother is the actress from the Gold Blend commercials with Anthony Head.

Is anyone watching Motive? I like the actors in it, but a procedural that tells you from the beginning who did it doesn't really work for me.

I watched part of the third episode. I thought it was okay. Although I didn't watch the first part so I don't know how they open the show - does it show the killer doing the killing and then the body being found?

It sounded a little bit like Columbo. Where they show the killing and kind of why and then you watch Columbo figure out how it happened and the prime suspect spends the episode being really super helpful and try and prove their innocence which 1) makes them look more guilty and 2) causes them to trip up and show their guilt. Although there is way less adherence to actual police procedure in Columbo.

A lot of the time it was seeing Columbo having a good time with the killer and feeling kind of bad that this interesting, complicated person had to go down. At least for me. It would have been nice to see how other people viewed Columbo, this rumpled, annoying person being the top detective in the precinct of the rich and famous.

That's more like "Rockford". When he'd go to fancy places and get valet on the Firebird, and they'd look like "WTF?"(Not the women, mostly.)
