The Listener 101-105

I couldn't decide what to watch so I settled on The Listener. I've wanted to re-watch S1 and catch up on S2+3 for ages and this was a good opportunity.

I like the show much better the second time around. But I don't remember Det. Charlie Marks being this annoying. Like, Toby keeps giving her the best tips thanks to his telepathy and every time he comes to her, she blows him off and tells him not to bother her. I mean, seriously! How many people would've died already if Toby had listened to her and let stuff go? And then, when Charlie saves the day and the victim thanks to Toby, she gets even angrier at him? Why? Grr!

My favorite part is Toby's friendship with Oz. I just adored the scene where Toby told Oz about his telepathy and, yeah, sure, Oz freaked out a bit, but then he went all "OMG! THAT'S AWESOME! I'LL BE YOUR SIDEKICK!" LOL, he's precious.

The one thing I don't care about is the bit about Toby's past, his search for his mother, the mysterious guy who was after them, stuff like that. I do like that they deal with the fact that Toby is a foster kid, but the whole mystery about his past? Eh. From what I heard, they dropped that bit in S2 and I'm grateful for that, as much as I hate loose ends.

Gah, I know, she was so frustrating! On the other hand, though, she does have procedure to worry about. I imagine it's easier to ignore a tip from a source she knows is right, than watch a perp walk out a free man because she violated a procedure of some sort.

Yeah, especially since it really happened to her and the court had to let that rapist go because she violated a search warrant.
