  • "Blindsided" | TV Show Recaps | 8/14/2007
    Are we running out of superlatives yet to describe this season of The Closer? As I previewed in my earlier blog entry, this week's episode really wowed me. When Kevin Bacon (the director of the episode) told me that it opened with a shrink session and that Brenda was ordered to sit on the bench, I was a bit skeptical, fearing that it would be a very touchy-feely outing.I was wrong. (In ways.)Even though Bacon gave us fair warning, the rifle assault on Gabriel, Brenda and the news team totally caught me off guard. And then the blood... so much blood. Why everyone leaped to think it was a hit on Brenda and not the news weasel didn't make complete sense to me — I pegged him as the target instantly — but Flynn's tally of people who hate BL delivered a chuckle.

    Question: I really like the idea of Brenda getting with her boss on The Closer. Will we ever see some action?


    Answer: Doubt it. They've been there, done each other. Brenda's only got eyes for Fritz — though they're going to have their share of ups and downs this season.

He'll appear in four episodes, as will Frances Sternhagen, who's returning as Brenda's mom.
