(1) Yes. Fornell was probably the best of the crossovers.
It was useful and not just for show
(2) I thought for a quick minute it was the Brother but once I saw the lawyer I pegged him for it. The neighbor did come as a surprise.
(3) Generally, I'm really liking the show, though I'm a bit miffed that they are trying to create a Tiva dynamic with LaSalle and Brody.... making her physically tough and him rather proud of that. Maybe the producers are trying to make up for what we lost, but it's not the same. Does anyone else get the same feeling?
