Without a Trace

[speciousreasoning]

I tried to watch the season premiere. I swear I did. It was just so wierd and disconnected. It even seems like the actors have given up on the show too. I know we don't hear much about the stuff that goes on behind the scenes of this show, but I wonder if there are problems or something.
I didn't even make it to the end. So I missed how exactly it ended and the previews of (from what I hear, Ol' Mumbles is a stripper next week).

[Deleted]

Kidnapper offs himself in a trailer on his cousin's property.

Kid found alive in some sort of underground storage space in the middle of nowhere. The wooden lid/roof/whatever had the older kid's real name carved in it, so they were able to find his family (he'd been kidnapped from a lake and was assumed dead.)

Next week is Mumbles as a stripper. It also looked like she and Danny would be getting it on/faking it in the club.

They just dropped the kid off at home after being missing for 7 years. Like that would happen IRL.

Poppy isn't even trying anymore. Her accent is awful.

Really? Isn't she supposed to just have a generic American accent? I thought I read that she's been doing it for so long, she is no longer able to make an Australian accent.

She's supposed to have an American accent, but she doesn't. You can hear the Aussie in almost every sentence.

I actually kind of like Mumbles.

Wow, just wow. I guess I missed nothing then.

Guess I'll skip watching next week too, if Mumbles and Danny are "getting it on".

I will also agree that Poppy's accent is getting worse and worse. I can't believe she can't keep it together for a whole show.

So this week's episode features Elena as a stripper. During the preview I finally saw, all I kept thinking is "Does this show take place in the 80's cause those boots Elena is rocking are totally 80's?"
I miss Vivian. I miss the old stories. I miss it all.
It's a good thing my parents are coming for the weekend. My Mom doesn't like watching shows like that (ie. featuring strippers)so I can avoid it for a perfectly good reason.

Sunday is not a good day for television viewing in my apartment. They've definitely lost me, which is all kinds of sad.

Vivian is looking so slim these days, I barely recognized her.

Any episode where Danny gets some action will be worth watching. I'm so there Sunday night.

I "watched" the last episode (by watched I mean, it was on in the background while I folded my laundry and did dishes). Jack was kidnapped and was the missing person.
Yep, this show has definitely lost whatever magic it had. This was the first full new episode I watched and other than making me nauseous with Jack pulling his nailed hand off the chair, it just isn't watchable for me. And Jack walking around like pulling his hand off the chair was no big deal was giving the nurse in me an ulcer. Oh and Sam threatening to beat up a guy twice her size - he'd snap her like a twig. Poppy is so freaking skinny, a brisk wind could knock her down.
Intelligence in this show has certainly taken a hit lately.

PS If I see Viv in one more low cut shirt with no visible chest scar from her heart surgery, I'm going to write a strongly worded letter. Or something like that.
