And without further ado, it's time for 1x11 "Silence of the Lamb." I loooooooooved this episode the first time I saw it and still do, not least because of my overwhelming admiration for one Deputy Leo D'Amato. All you first-timers are in for a treat. And let's face it, we multiple-timers are as well. ;)

Hmmm...I don't remember LOVING this episode. But I don't remember much PERIOD. WAIT. THIS IS MAC'S ~REVEAL~, RIGHT?! OMG! I lurve this! The case of the week didn't hold me as it sometimes does - odd since I normally take female abduction v. seriously. (Maybe because I was 100% centered on MAC)

I like the subtle contrasts. Veronica even says something like "I wish I could tell her that I know how she feels. But when it came to discovering my paternity I choose blissful ignorance with a side of gnawing doubt."

I remember reading somewhere that Rob Thomas said a case revolving around a serial killer was too big for a B plot, so he didn't think it played out well on screen. I think that's probably true because I agree with you that there was just way too much else going on. When I have to choose which storyline I want to follow, I pick the one with characters I already know.
