Numb3rs - “Longshot”

Again, this episode (a friend of mine likes to refer to them as “eppesodes”) was a repeat. And what a terrifying episode it was. Instead of “Longshot”, I’m renaming this episode “The Birth of Liz”. Perhaps the most hated woman in the Numb3rs fandom (at least on the boards I visit) besides Amita.
Why do we hate Liz? Robin. Robin and Don were perfect for each other. They had awesome chemistry. And then Liz comes along. Liz with her all-over-Don-ness and her willing-to-sleep-with-him-even-though-she-didn’t-know-that-he-and-Robin-were-broken-up-ness.
Honestly? Liz has more chemistry with Colby than she does with Don. I accidentally typed “dies” there. Subconscious thinking? Yes.
Anyway, since I remembered this episode pretty well, I flipped over to USA and one of my favorite crime comedies, Psych, about an extremely observant guy pretending to be a psychic for the police department. It’s basically the James Roday and Dule Hill Acting Silly Hour. It’s good for a laugh if Numb3rs is a repeat.
