Well it looks like the writers have found a way to hook up Rita and the Lt. without doing another interoffice romance. One way or another, it looks like the Lt. is on his way out. I'll miss him but if it gives us another partially nude Rita scene, I'm all for it, particularly since we won't be getting any partially nude Charlotte Ross scenes (I hope) (with her being knocked up) for awhile.

And damn, nobody can make a sweater look better than Jacqueline Obradors. Give this woman more airtime, dammit.

Medavoy, once again, providing the comedy relief.

Was it my imagination, or was she arching her back even more than usual last night? There was one scene in particular where she was leaning against a wall in what appeared to be a most uncomfortable position.....

I know the scene your talking about. It was awkward because she was standing there like she was twirling her hair and chewing gum. All she needed was to say "OOOO MY GAWD"

I forget who Gibson is. I guess he got promoted to SGT, but I cant put a face to the name. What storyline was he in?

I think Medavoy was funny last night.

Again, Medavoy proves that he is a funny schmuck. Man, he's too much sometimes.

Definitely looks like Esai Morales is on his way out. That does suck. Wonder who they will get to replace him. Maybe a female this time?

I'm ready for Jones to put Michael's father away already. that story has to be coming to a close soon.

I wish Rita would go instead of the Ltnt. Can't stand her character (sorry). They've had the Black Lt., the Hispanic Lt., so maybe it'll be a woman next. (Heaven forbid it'd be a white male.)

I've watched this show for many years but I'm starting to get bored with it for some reason. Medavoy seemed like a caricature last night, and the thing with the kid is starting to drag. Plus, we've seen the story with the old/retired cop who wants back in too many times before.

It's still one of the best shows on TV, don't get me wrong--just seems to have lost some of its lustre for me.

BLASPHEMY!!!

That basoon player definitely wants Connie. That will come up in later episodes, I bet.

I'm tired of the Baldwin vs. kid's dad plotline. End it already.

At the concert at the end of the show, it seemed that Connie was really into it and Sipowitz was barely tolerating it, once again reminding us that those two really have nothing at all in common besides their job.

I, too, vote for any plotline that calls for Rita to get naked.

Sorry Red Dog--just NOT a fan.

Also, did you know this show is not back on until FEBRUARY!?!? Seems ridiculous to me, ESP. with that little boy story line still dangling...

Yeah - I knew that. This is nothing new with ABC & Blue. I remember the one year where Blue did not start until January. On the bright side, I think the long hiatus means that when it comes back, it will run for 13 straight weeks with no repeats.

I'm actually interested in checking out it's hiatus replacement, Line of Fire.

He was kind of a goofball detective who has been on from time to time. His biggest plotline was when he transferred to the day shift two years ago to qualify for a first-grade promotion, totally getting under Andy's skin. He then took a medical leave of absence to fight his prostate cancer. He fixed up Andy with his niece some years back too.

Honk!

Yeah Gibson was the one who used to bodyguard that old bag. Then he asked Andy if he wanted to take over since Andy needed extra cash. Then Andy found out her accountant was embezzling from her.

Is he the guy that adopts all the kids? And he got the 1st grade bump because of Andy, right? I think I remember now.

Yes.

Me too.

I think Esai has a deal with ABC to star in his own sitcom so that's why thye're going down that path with him. I agree that if it leads to naked Rita it's a good thing.

The Jones story with the kid and his father got old a few episodes back.

Andy also dated his niece a few seasons ago. They need to find more for Rita to do, and I agree with the nekid' comment.

I missed it last night and can't wait to see it thru other methods..but in the meantime, regarding Rita, I can't believe I'm the first to ask for:

pics?
