I did not care for that whole arc. It was clear to me that Booth was on the rebound and when he went so far as to propose, that was too far for me. I thought if she knew she wasn't going to stay around for the long haul, once she saw he was looking for someone to settle down with, she should have backed away.

I wasn't able to make it through the second episode. I figured when Bobbie insisted she knew best how to run things, it would set the stage for her to be wrong and be more open to other ideas. Now, maybe that didn't happen, but it was all feeling so heavy-handed and predictable that I got bored. I like the secondary characters more than the stars, at this point.

Thank you!

And she was taking some psychology courses in college but is ready to psychoanalyze everyone and offer insights into HR practices. Like opening up the boss's office to everyone to hang out was a good idea?

I kept waiting for Elsbeth to suggest she do some sort of independent study on opera so she could get those units out of the way from having watched operas on this case, or maybe watching a few more with the tickets they were told they could use. All in all, a good episode, and I'm glad the show is back.

I watched it last night and liked it. It was like visiting an old friend, although Reba doesn't look that much older. Hoping someone will start a forum for that show.

Interesting perspective. If they had two new people, I would find it easier to drift away from the show, for sure.

I agree with all you said. Personally, I wished Reba had found someone by the end. She deserved someone better than Brock. We didn't even need to meet the guy, just someone off screen that had some strong potential for her. Sure, she's a survivor, but she deserved to have someone for her to lean on after all those seasons of everyone leaning on her.

I just finished the last episode last night, and I agree with so much that was said above. I thought it was wrong of Sims to snoop and blab and a little out of character, actually. I loved seeing Tami Nielsen perform and watching everyone dance. I had already heard that the next season was filming so I wasn't worried about it being the end, but I did feel that vibe. I think it's time for me to do a rewatch!

That was almost 20 years ago?! Time flies, I used to watch ANTM regularly. While I am enjoying Elsbeth, I find myself thinking up and waiting for something trickier, more suspenseful, or more clever than what eventually happens. I felt sure there was some other reason the captain was mad, like he really is the bad guy and he outsmarted everyone and we'd see how next season, but no. I'm okay with him not being a bad guy, but Elsbeth losing her groove because someone was mad at her (and undeservedly so) felt like a cop-out, no pun intended.

I was a fan of Another World as well! Cass Winthrop was my fave, and his voice always catches my ear in the Lexus ads.

I've just caught up with all the commentary on this show. I am enjoying this show a lot, more than I expected. My first thought was that the show resembles Columbo, but the show also reminds me of the short-lived show "Carter," starring Jerry O'Connell. In fact, I think Carrie Preston (Elsbeth) looks like she could be related to Jerry, they seem so similar.

I don't know, he always looks like he's having fun, and I enjoy that. I don't get that feeling from the others.

That would have been an awesome choice. I think she is the best vocalist this season, but she's been struggling to show "who she is as an artist," as they used to say. Most of the genres don't seem to work for her. Actually, I've had trouble envisioning any of them as artists after the show, except for the country singers.

She was my favorite from the start, but she seems to have lost her way a little, or maybe she isn't the package American Idol is looking for. I do think she is a great singer, possibly the best one.
