"It's the nature of a Christian to want to believe well of anyone, even when their actions tell us otherwise. I'm likely just biased against him because I miss Tim Speedle and don't like the way they took him off the show. I think they did exactly the right thing with Alex, though; giving her the opportunity to return periodically in aid of her former teammates.

I'd lay odds, were I a bettor, that she's the one they'll call to examine Horatio's "corpse". She'll fall into line with any coverup that aids in the capture of known criminals, expecially those who've endangered her own kids. Remember that her son was involved in a series of escalating events to which Saris is linked, if only thru shaky evidence. He's still facing charges of aiding and abetting, so we'll see a bit more of the lad next season.

As for Ryan, he's looking out for number 1--himself--whether that benefits his colleagues and their cases or not. He runs roughshod over Calleigh and Eric whenever their evidence contradicts his analysis, which definitely ISN'T great for their peer relationships.

As for the lady C, I'd love nothing more than for her to receive a much-deserved promotion to Captain or Lieutenant out of these crises. She's proven the most loyal and determined of all of them."

"I find that no matter what the messege board,those that miss Speedle,or think that Ryan replaced him,judge him harsely."
