Yeah, I didn't think they were going to give him anything truly happy, but on the other hand, I was hoping they weren't going to do yet another round of Reid-whump. I agree with you regarding Alex--Jeanne Tripplehorn is a fine actress, but the character herself seems to have no particular role on the team. I blame the writers. It's sad, because my best friend went to college with Rick Dunkle so I was rooting for the "Indiana hometown" boy, but...no. We lost a lot of good writers a couple of seasons ago. :/

I know Personal of Interst previews look interesting, but I'm hooked on Chicago Fire and Revenge, and if I added any more shows I think I wouldn't be able to keep up! :)
