Numb3rs: One Hour

[butterfly]

I really adored this most recent episode of Numb3rs -- it seemed like everyone was well-used and I really enjoyed all of the members of the cast. And I like that they could work without Don there, that they have now achieved enough overlap that they can cover when one of them is missing. That's the sign of a very healthy team (example of an unhealthy team -- Angel and Co. falling for the wrong prophecy when Wesley was missing in Destiny. I kinda *heart* the broken and co-dependent nature of the Angel team, but it isn't healthy.).

I loved seeing Megan in charge -- she did a wonderful job. I was very impressed. Colby and David were fantastic, as always (and they work so well together -- I'm a total Granger/Sinclair 'shipper at this point). Amita, in particular, was very well-used, and I really liked Liz, as well, and Charlie was as great as he nearly always is. Very well-done, all around. I also adored hearing Don talk about his team and coming to realize his big fear. He may still struggle with it later, but now he knows what it is that was digging away at him and that helps a lot.

And his passionate response when the therapist started talking about Charlie was just lovely. Yeah, there was some defense of his own motives there, but there was a whole lot of "don't you dare talk about my little brother like that" in it as well. Very sweet.

Everyone also looked fantastic in this episode. Amita and Charlie are actually making a pretty adorable couple. I was iffy on them before they started dating, but Amita's really come into her own this season, I think. And Don was just gorgeous... really, everyone looked great. A cast of very attractive people, all being incredibly competent at their chosen jobs. There is no bad here.
