And last night he was over the top.<br /><br />I don’t think Major Crimes or the OCPD would have to step aside just because the case involved Grace. She wasn’t a suspect, she was a victim and the members of the team, especially Rhetta, know her best. Now Ham is a separate matter. Ham should have been set in a corner – and his finding her, with divine guidance (?) doesn’t change that. Everyone else, while concerned, did their jobs well. And this includes Rhetta who is closer to Grace as Ham.<br /><br />However, my big problem with the episodes was not Ham; my problem is what was the episode about? If Earl hadn’t been involved or if he could have easily found Grace, but due to the people have to solve their own problems not be able to directly help, it would have been clear. The point of the episode would have been to show more about Grace’s character. She is an adrenaline junky who likes to live on the edge. Charlie is a dangerous person when he goes off his meds and he does that regularly. I actually think Grace prefers the off-meds Charlie (except when he kidnaps her). His psychotic behavior gives her license to act crazy also. We already know Grace is a bit off, that is why she needs a last chance angel. She is improving, but backslides, such as her Hamisodes and treating a dangerously mentally ill person so casually.<br /><br />While that may be part of what we are supposed to get, it can’t be the main point. God/dog blocked Earl’s ability to find Grace. Therefore He had some reason for wanting what happened to Grace to happen. But why? Grace’s new wings don’t make her an angel. Grace is certainly no angel, either literally or figuratively. The show better show a reason for all this soon, because it makes no sense so far.<br /><br />Also, have the producers thought through the mundane aspects of Grace’s new skin art? Every time we see Grace’s bare back, which we do frequently, she will have to spend the significant extra time in make-up having the tattoo reapplied. That can be expensive for the show, and annoying for the actor.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15114892.post-2012587353811615992009-07-23T06:55:49.832-04:002009-07-23T06:55:49.832-04:00To be fair to "procedurals" they nearly ...To be fair to "procedurals" they nearly all have "personal" episodes on a regular basis. In reality if there was a personal connection to any squad member the case would be passed to another squad, possibly from another town/city/state to make sure it is impartial. A defence attorney would have field-day with such a connection and get a court case thrown out.<br /><br />Of course they allow this artistic license in the shows to make them more involving.<br /><br /><br />RichE.<br /><a href="http://www.kathryn-morris.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Kathryn Morris UK</a>RichEhttp://www.kathryn-morris.co.uk/noreply@blogger.com
