Speaking of that scene, what the hell was she about to do to his face before she stopped herself? I can't decide if it looked more like she was going to kiss him or pinch his cheeks.
IMMINENT CHEEK-PINCHING. (And perhaps another clue of How Megan Is Not Good At Maternal.)
Either have the guts to make a statement about how women in power are viewed or don't, but don't give us a simple mystery where every single suspect's motive was basically, "she's a pain in the ass," and, "I wanted to win that writing contest," and then shoehorn in some Grrrl Power rhetoric and expect us to think you're really progressive for it.
Yeah, Making A Point about how Powerful Women =/= Bitches is one thing, but trying to make that point about a victim of the week that you aren't really putting any effort into making sympathetic... no.
Why does Megan resent her privileged childhood?* (If she does, why does she still dress like she's a part of it?)
And why does she attempt to buy her own child $1100 pumpkin-tutu bags? WHYYYYYYY???
I wonder if ABC has some kind of ownership in a music label, and has someone from that end chose a song to stick at the end of each episode of every scripted show the network runs, whether it fits the show or not.
Maybe peddling music at the audience is the only revenue that's keeping scripted tv afloat? Noooooooooooooooo every network is now the CW noooooooooo!!!
(show, please just give us some kind of handwavey acknowledgment of the fact that this is so out of line for a regular medical examiner. Say she has some kind of special dispensation from someone higher up in the chain of command. I beg you)
STOP IT WITH YOUR CRAZY DREAMS!
however, I liked that the rest of the investigation focused on reasonably medical-ish stuff, like the amber flecks in the businessman's eyes and those of his son.
Um, I questioned how a surprise snapshot of a moving target resulted in a) enough detail to pick out eye flecks, and b) not a giant blur altogether. Wait, wait, MORE VODKA, STAT!
