I am so glad she is back. I cannot stand Connie Neilsen.

Story line wise, is she still working undercover with that radical group?

I think so but I think there is resolution to it tonight. Clearly she wanted to take time off to be with her baby.

I kind of figured that, and what better way than have her "disappear" for a while. I think that might have been the season finale where that happened. I'll tune in to see how it's resolved.

Let's hope they get rid of Psychofemme soon. I can't stand her.

I am super stoked! I have missed her so badly! The show just hasn't been the same since she left!

Thank God. I stopped watching without her.

I do really like her character, but she has been getting on my nerves a little lately. Hopefully as they say "absense makes the heat grow fonder", I'll find the love again!

Can't wait!!!

Connie Nielsen bugs a little, but nothing compared to St. Olivia, who has been getting on my nerves for like two years now. Although- I do keep watching the show, so that's my bad. :)

How was tonight's episode?

I thought it was confusing for a while in the beginning, but ultimately really good.

They eliminated the bio-terrorist story line so fast I got whiplash. It was clearly just to give her some time off with her son, August.

It was ok. I like her hair long and wavy like that. I wish they would have focused more on the story line though. I was also expecting her to hook up with that FBI guy, the way they were looking at each other. But anywho, hopefully things will get back to normal in an episode or two.

I couldn't figure out how a girl who was kidnapped when she was 10 and was held in a dungeon for the past (7 years? 10 years? I swear that at one point they said she'd been missing 7 years, and at another point 10 years, but I didn't care enough to rewind) knew how to drive. (And knew how to get to the river to dump the body. And if she could drive, then why hitchhike back to her old hometown? Etc.)

Sure some other stuff happened too or whatever, but dungeon girl knowing how to drive and where to dump the body was totally distracting and took me right out of the episode.

I noticed that driving thing to last night but my fiance said I read too much into things....at least I'm not the only one!

[Tom1071]

I wondered that myself.

Heh, that's too funny, nope you're not the only one- I always get distracted by stuff like this! Although, I also find that I have different standards for different shows- I'll question things on House and the Law & Orders, while I can see big ol' plotholes in other shows that I can just let slide right by.

[DottieD'Luscia]

Posted: 11/1/06 at 12:33pm

That's the first thing I thought of. I was like, "how did you learn to drive?"

[MotorTink]

Posted: 11/1/06 at 12:53pm

Me too, Anekela! I get so bad. I'll be reading the newspaper or see the news or a movie, and start off on some rant about this will happen or that should happen, my fiance will just shake his head and go "Ok, McCoy, settle down!"

That story line with the girl could have been a whole episode in itself, instead of the whole case figured out in 10 minutes.

Ha, the driving thing crossed my mind, too.
It did move really fast. I wasn't expecting it to end the way it did. She spent so much time on the other case I didn't think she'd make it back within the episode. But it was heartwarming nonetheless.
