Agree with you completely. I made my views known in the discussion post, but since I watched a day late it was buried somewhere in the third page. :P The writing and acting of the new guys was horrible (for the most part), and I hatehatehate feeling like the writers are trying to SHOVE liking these people down the audience's throats. Um, no? Try writing a decent casefile and showing how they solve it... wow, what a concept!

BTW part 9 = OMG! <3
