Why won't the PowerPoints survive? Those had some of the most affecting lines in the whole book.

Has anyone mentioned how horrible that line from the chief was about Linden and Holder doing good work on the case? Seriously, that ranks right up there with "He was wet…like he'd been in the water" as worst line ever on this show. Was that meant to be intentionally funny to both the characters and the viewers?

I thought the final scene was a total ripoff of the final scene of the very last episode of In Treatment - main character walks out into the big city to dissolve back into what will hopefully be a normal life.

Actually, one could see it coming for quite a while, maybe even back to the episode last season where she was crying to a certain song all dramatically. That scene screamed "secrets still hidden." And then in tonight's episode when they revealed Jaimie as "involved" yet still had more than a half-hour of show to fill,

Linden trips over a dead body on her little "clearing her head" walk and gets sucked right back into another case.

Reading and really enjoying Inherent Vice right now as a kind of de facto follow-up to Lot 49.

I've developed a theory on how this all ends that continues the red herring-ness of everything that has come before. Starting with the premise from an earlier commenter that maybe the next thing Linden and Holder see on the elevator cam is Rosie coming back down perfectly unscathed (which seems reasonable - if she was

Count me in with those who think the episode a day structure is a liability. It further stretches the implausibility of an already overly-implausible show. And it really taxes the viewer's suspension of disbelief. I never watched 24 - was the episode per hour structure of that show as hard to stomach?

Yeah, I've actually (dare I say it?) enjoyed some aspects of this show (the suspense, the cheesiness) but I think Forbes is a way overrated part of it. What is so great about her performance?
