Crossing Jordan

This show has never been quite the same nor as good since they ended the "who killed Jordan's mom" mystery. This year had some good episodes but, sadly didn't have a lot of flow.

I loved the addition of Leslie Bibb to the cast. To bad they did more wasting of her talent than using it. And I never for a minute believed that her character would go for Woody. I liked some of the interaction between her and Jordan though, except for the jealousy stuff. It gets really annoying when the main annomousity between female characters has to stem from jealousy. On this kind of show different work philosophies and views on the crime are enough to create tension.

I did not like the addition of JD Pollack as a general character or as a love interest for Jordan. Bad character played by a bad actor only equals disaster. At least he won't be back next year. To bad they already did the Jordan blacks out and may have killed somebody storyline. On the upside at least they saw fit to make mention of that in the finale.

The best part of the entire season though was Bug finally telling Lily how he felt about her and the triangle it built between them and the ADA. And the single best moment of the season (not to mention the best part of any season finale) was when she finally came to her senses left Jeffery at the alter and found bug in the lab. Do those writers know how to keep the audience hanging on though. It takes five years to bring Lily and Bug to that moment and they still don't give us the kiss. That's right just keep us hanging on a little bit more.
