You definitely don't want to tape Miami this Monday; it's a repeat of that flop of a season premiere, "Resurrection." There won't be a new ep till a week from this Monday. In the new ep, Alexx will be back. Just for that ep. I like Alexx, but I'm so mad at TPTB (I have to blame somebody since I don't know why DLS is missing) that I plan to either watch Medium or listen to the radio show I used to listen to. But I wonder who they're going to have put (blank) on his administrative leave, if Rick isn't going to be in that 15th episode.

One thing I've noticed, and I'd be curious if you guys have noticed this, too, is that it seems like TPTB have been using other cast members to do/say things that Rick would usually do/say. Like in the ep with the cop, Reggie, they had Horatio telling the guy he'd have his badge, and then later H does take his badge and gun. And it hit me later how this was the kind of scene and dialogue Rick would do. And then the ep right after that one, the very next Monday, they had Ryan talking to Eric in a way he never normally does. And there was something about the way he was acting in the scene that looked like he was trying to *immitate* how DLS plays Stetler. In the scene, Ryan was kind of like *interrogating* Eric about what was going on with him. This definitely was the kind of thing Stetler would normally do. It was almost as if DLS was originally meant to play that scene. And maybe the one in the previous episode, too. But the one where Ryan was interrogating Eric especially bothered me. It even looked like they were using the same type of camera angles that they use when filming Stetler when Ryan did that scene. And this horrible feeling shot through me when I saw that. So, I figure that maybe in that 15th episode, maybe they'll have Eric or Frank put (blank) on leave. *Rolls eyes* Or it just won't happen at all.
