I didn't think of the Tara reference, but I did notice that (according to Garcia's research) some of the teens went to Sunnydale High School. I thought about that, too (kind of). I didn't think about someone breaking the glass to unlock the door, but I did wonder why the glass wasn't frosted so that no one could see in.

I liked the fact that we didn't get to see who the unsub was until right near the end, but it kind of lost its effect when we didn't know who the kid was. I mean, there were early episodes where we didn't know who the unsub was, but when we finally found out, he was someone we had already met during the episode. It was just kind of a random person. When Tara was murdered and the kid took a photo of her using her phone, it didn't look like he was wearing gloves. I noticed it, because he had small hands with thin fingers and I thought that the unsub was going to turn out to be a woman (I had even figured on a teen). But it was stated later that he had worn gloves, since no prints were found. Did he take them off to take the photo? If so, wouldn't they have found prints?

I just heard about Ms. Susi. That's a shame. I also wonder if they'll get someone else to do the voice or have Mrs. W. pass away. I had just been thinking about a possible plotline where Howard's mom passes away and leaves the house jointly to Stuart and Howard. Then Howard, Bernie and Stuart all insist on living there. According to imdb, she had been in 39 episodes of 'TBBT' and the most recent episode (the one with the prom) was the last one listed for her.

This is from a while back, but I just read it and the first phrase that comes to mind is from a holiday episode where Bobby says 'moist this turkey is'. It makes me laugh every time. I'm watching the one where Peggy finds out about Nancy and John Redcorn and I loved the scene where Peggy sees John going into Nancy's house and says (twice, very scornfully), 'Well, Jah-hon Redcorn. Jah-hon Redcorn'. And then Redcorn sticks his head out the front door and says to her 'Pah-heggy Hill' and goes into the house. Funny!

I tried that for two weeks in a row, but when my local station went right into the local news both times, I got irritated and quit doing that (and took CSI off of my series recordings). Now, I just check when '60 minutes' is supposed to be on and get an idea if 'CSI' might be starting no later than an hour after it should be starting (the onscreen stopwatch on '60 minutes' helps me to calculate!). Then, I either set the DVR or just forget about it. (The same thing I used to do for 'The Mentalist' when it was on Sundays.) This episode wasn't too bad, but I wonder what the odds would be for two totally unrelated gunmen deciding to shoot up a convention at the same place, same time. I'm sure that there are forensics conventions all over the country at various times (this was the western regional conference, IIRC). I guess maybe because both bad guys were in the area it was convenient for them? It just seemed to be an awfully big coincidence.

As much as I don't care for Katrina, I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt on this one. When Abraham told Henry that Katrina had come back and Henry said to bring her to him, he asked if she was still wearing the necklace. Henry looked extremely pleased when Abraham said yes. When Katrina looked at the baby, her necklace began to glow. That's when she got that 'it's my baby!' look on her face. I think she's under a spell. That could lead to some good scenes, since I'm assuming she'll fiercely try to protect it when Crane and Abbie try to destroy it.

I liked the episode okay. I was happy to finally have an explanation about how Wo Fat is connected to McGarett's family, but for some reason, I found the dialogue to be clunky. I'm not sure why--it just seemed kind of awkward. I thought Kamekona's prison requests for fresh shrimp twice a week and Spam (I didn't catch how much) was funny. I agree that Kono's alt-reality story was kind of lame--it was like they weren't sure what to do with it. Wasn't Wo Fat's face much more horribly scarred the last time we saw him? I remember being disappointed that his face was now all messed up, but when I saw him last night it was like his scars were very artfully applied so that he was still pretty darn attractive. (What little we saw of his chest was pretty bad, though.)

I'm beginning to think that all of the kids are just left in the hospital's day care center 24/7. It seems like when we do see any of the young'uns, it's somewhere in the hospital, no matter what time of day it is.

Emily's kind of growing on me. I like her with Raj. The only thing missing from this episode was Amy's tiara. I expected to see her wearing it.

I laughed at Derek's 'Zola needs more black people in the family. I've run out of ways to braid her hair, and Bailey won't show me any more'. I mainly laughed because I just saw the episode (yesterday morning, I think) where Bailey scolded Derek for not fixing Zola's hair properly. It would have been better if we had actually gotten to see Zola, though.

Thank you! That kept bugging me. I couldn't figure out who she reminded me of. She even sounded like her and had the same mannerisms.

Okay, so it's not just me. I re-watched the episode up to that point three times and couldn't figure out where they had photos of 'stolen dresses that still had the price tags on them'. It jumped to that scene directly from the scene where the killer picked out the purple dress at the cleaners. I guess they cut a scene, but that was kind of an important one to the plot. Was she shoplifting as well as taking 'used' clothes from the cleaners? The owner said that she had stolen at least three dresses, but in the 'stolen dress' scene, they said that the price tags were still there. Then, later whats-her-name figured out that a dry cleaners would also be a place that 'tagged' clothes. Weird--it seems they left out a really important scene. Oh, and I think that JJ is letting her hair get too long. It's beginning to look straggly (IMO).

The next time I'm sitting around with my co-workers, I'm going to stand up and announce very dramatically-- 'I must Internet---immediately' and then leave the room. Great line! I also think that it would be better for the whole plot if Katrina hadn't pulled through. Then, Crane could go on the whole revenge kick and maybe Henry would end up feeling some guilt and be redeemed (right before he got killed or something, of course).

When he talked about his blog, the first thing that I thought of was Peggy Hill from 'King of the Hill'. She would write a column that was sometimes published in the local paper called 'musings' or 'Musings of Peggy Hill' (something like that). The few that were read out loud were really, really lame. I figure that Ryan's 'musings' would be kind of boring like that. I like the tech person okay (Tory?), but I don't want to see her scenes increase at the cost of scenes with Lanie.

I think that most of you have already said what I would have said, but one more thing to add: Whoever cast the actor to play Corbin's son did a really good job. I could actually believe that he was related. He looked like him to me.

I haven't seen this one yet (I didn't even get a repeat, my local CBS channel went right into the local news), but when I saw the promo for the episode after last week's and the 'tag' said something about 'losing one of their own' am I terrible for hoping that it would be Finn? (I like the actress in other stuff she's done, I just don't like her character on 'CSI'.) Of course, I'm sure that the 'one of their own' will turn out to be an anonymous forensics person attending the conference that we've never met. I'm strictly guessing about this--like I said, I haven't seen it yet.

3pwood, I just saw your post, or I would have answered sooner. Did you make the cake? I've made it once with frozen berries and it worked out great. I really need to make it again. I know I still have frozen berries in the freezer and I think I have some apples in the fridge.

I totally agree about the earlier episodes being the best. I just caught part of the episode where Molly wasn't happy that Mike was content to just sit on the couch, eat dinner and watch TV every night. She wanted to go out now and then. Instead of fighting about it, Molly just decided to go out with Victoria. Mike was a little hurt and didn't understand, but no one was being mean or angry about it. Mike found her at the club and they ended up dancing together. Just funny and pleasant with no shouting or over-the-top physical comedy. I did think that the funniest part was when Molly and Victoria were riding around in Victoria's car with all of the toys along the back window (Beanie Babies and such) and when Molly yelled 'red light! red light!', Victoria slammed on the brakes and all of the toys flew forward and landed in the front seat. Funny!

Yes, I think it's one of the color ones. After Barney left, but before Warren showed up, if I recall.

Maybe it was just the volume of bugs. I'm definitely not an 'insect' person, but I think those little pillbugs (we always called them rolly-pollies) are cute and don't have a problem with one crawling along my finger, but if I was put in a box and have thousands dumped in with me I would be in hysterics. It's a good question, though. Maybe not an entomologist, but maybe a person who has no insect phobia could chime in with their opinion. I'd like to know.

I noticed that the episode description said that Callie was really getting involved in the veterans' project, but I didn't see anything about that. Also, 'Richard leans on Bailey for advice'. Unless I missed something, neither one of them was even in this episode. Anyway, I was kind of happy to see the end of Calzona. I'm interested in seeing how their respective careers go forward (or change) because of their new-found 'freedom'. I would have loved to see at least a glimpse of Sophia, though. I liked the scenes of Callie and Meredith. Funny!

I like this too. It always bugged me when they would throw an uncommon name at Garcia and she wouldn't ask how to spell it (or even common names such as Steven vs. Stephen). I remember the episode with the guy who had the disorder where he thought that his family had been replaced by impostors because he couldn't recognize their faces and turned to killing them. I kept wondering what 'crabgrass syndrome' was and didn't know until I googled it that is was actually 'capgras syndrome'.

I like the new Lowe's commercials, such as the 'How to install a fence while riding a motorcycle' one. The guy rides out of his garage on his motorcycle and glances over at the two guys from Lowe's installing his fence. I love his 'woo hoo!' as he rides away. The one that has the line 'How to install a new washer with one finger' is cute, too. 'A little bit more to the left' as she waves her finger at the guy from Lowe's.

Other than the establishing shot at the beginning, that was so not Atlanta, GA. Not with all of those palm trees in the background and how dry-looking it was. The roaches were icky, but viewable. The spiders, on the other hand.....eeek! (I did like how the woman was quietly--but urgently--saying 'get them off me, get them off me'. I would have been trying to fall over in the chair hoping I would squoosh 'em--while screaming the whole time!)

I know! I know very little about Wiccan practices, but even I caught that. I'm wondering if it was generally sloppy research on the part of the writers, or they figured that they could throw anything at the audience and we would just go along with it, or maybe the characters were just supposed to be a group of dummies who just bought a bunch of stuff, read misc. things on the internet and made it up as they went along? I kind of figured on the latter theory--they had no idea what they were doing, so they just used a mishmash of 'spells', using no real knowledge. I actually thought that the janitor was the killer, because he was the only actor I recognized. The principal was annoying and kind of strange. Her head seemed a little airy, too.
