That's so funny. I think it was a Freudian slip.

I think this is the first year that they gave Felicia an actual personality although I don't know if I like her any better. One of the best aspects of this show was to watch the build up of Felicia & Will, but once that came and went, it's been sort of a let down.

Eli and Jackie are by far the most interesting characters on the show, and the tension between running a campaign/raising kids and conflicts with Felicia has been good fodder. The kids are grown, Peter's governor and doubt he'd be running for president.

They've made the show less about interesting cases and have been making it about personal relationships and introducing too many characters that just aren't interesting like the dull, dishwater blonde working in Peter's office. I think they should wrap the show up this year. It jumped the shark.

Thanks for changing the subject line, OP.

She is adapting to her environment. That is the point if her character development. I love it and like the way the show is going. Agree with PP that I wasn't really feeling Will's character either.

Yes, the 4pm Sunday football games always messes up the timing of all CBS shows and March Madness is also messing up the timing. It's weird, last football season, sometimes Verizon DVR would know and start the recording at 10:29 or whenever Amazing Race ends, but not all the time. I have the series to record an extra hour so I don't have to worry about it.

PS-how the heck is amazing race still on?

NP. And this is exactly why I love this show. The writing is so, so good and the story lines are so long that it allows for a full development of the characters. The writers are not afraid to slowly build the characters and stories over an entire season, and neither are they afraid to not offer a pat resolution of problems. There is no black/white good/bad character on this show. Everybody has so many facets.

As much as I try to like other TV dramas, the fast paced 42-minute plot wrap ups and flat characters are so unsatisfying.
