Urgh. Don't get me started on Tamara. All for Morgan getting some love - not so fond of his lack of professionalism in getting involved with the sister of a victim. When Garcia calls you on it, you know something's seriously wrong... :-(
The more I think about it, the more my issue with Beth is that I don't know who she is. This is a show where we were just talking about how brilliant their bit characters are. They have been brilliant at creating characters with personality in nothing more than two lines of dialogue and 30 seconds of screen-time. Victims get to be real, live human beings, with interests and lives beyond their role as victim.
And Beth... Nothing. I don't know anything about who she is. Not even the fake-cramp to win told me anything about her personality. Now, in the sense of being a writer - awesome! I can do all sorts of things to her and with her. I can turn her into a crazy serial-killer! I can make her nice! I can do whatever I like with her, because we know nothing. As a viewer - I find it somewhat disappointing... :-(
