Yep, the wardrobe person has just gotta be on drugs or something. I like pretty colors, too -- you should see my nail polish collection -- but they've been giving us too heavy of doses (heh heh) of Ryan in super mega neon green shirts/ties/jackets and whatnot. And Frank in brighter than ever ties. And Eric in that butterfly shirt??? What were they thinking??? He's not supposed to be gay. And even if he was, why put him in something like THAT???

I've been in a bad mood for months about Rick not being in episodes. (And Jaglady, I love the mole, too. It's sexy. I think everything about Rick/DLS is sexy). I was hoping for development with his character this season. I would've loved some kind of situation where Rick was put in some kind of position where he had to be at the lab more. I wanted him and Horatio to have more interaction, and for them to slowly start to get along better. I wanted it to come out that Rick really never hit Yelina. I wanted Rick to become more of a good guy. This could've happened slowly over time, and it would've been interesting to watch.

re: The Boobs and the Brat: I have to remember to tell my writing partner that there's someone else out there who doesn't like them one bit. I was putting up with them because I thought Julia would end up going to jail or getting killed off, and well, I thought Kyle would end up killed off. While I hated the thought of what this would do to Horatio, I didn't want these particular characters to become regulars. Also, Kyle could've ended up going to live with Yelina instead of having to get killed off. But I did want them both gone by the end of this season, and it seems that they're not going anywhere, according to things I've read.
