Season Changes

Lie to Me S03E01 In the Red

Lie to Me is back after only a month break because Lone Star bombed and was canceled after only two episodes. Harsh, but that's tv reality. I kind of wonder how many people knew that it had even finished and restarted the season, as opposed to just taking a little break like many shows do.


The season started off with lots of changes: Reynolds was 'fired' (Lightman didn't want to be a lapdog of the FBI), the policewoman we saw in the final episode of last season was the new go-to person (probably because she was willing to cut corners in her police work), and Lightman gained two grad students as helpers. T
he whole grad student thing had me wondering whether Locher was going to leave the cast sometime this season.

In this episode, Lightman foiled a bank robbery by becoming the crew's inside man. Unfortunately, I somehow doubt that in reality if someone is fingered as part of a heist, they wouldn't retaliate and/or scram at the first notice. Instead, they unrealistically 'cut' Lightman in on the heist (yea, right).


If this type of behavior continues to be how Lightman gets his 'jobs' I wonder how the firm will make any money. Well, I'll just continue to watch and see.
