I've been a Kate Lockley fan from pretty much the very beginning. I love the sense of, like, reality that she brings to a show that so often wanders off into such crackiness. If a driven, hard-bitten cop was confronted with what she's confronted with, I'd expect the cop to react pretty much as she reacts. Ats really needed that reality check now and then, I think, and there was a real hole when she left.
