The Great Richard Schiff
26 February 2023
I have never seen a bad performance by Richard Schiff. He was consistently stellar on The West Wing. Here he plays the father of a young, world class gymnast, who has been murdered. When Booth and Brennan go to interview him, he proves to be a sad, morose man, who has trouble with the daily stuff of life. He has lost his daughter and previously his wife. The daughter has held him up, but he doesn't have the ability to show gratitude, and only sees her great worth and love after her death. Booth comes off as the complete ass here--again. He thinks he is some 1940's interrogator. If people act differently, he goes after him. Not just in interviewing the father, but in the way he treats Lance Sweets. Sweets tries to evaluate things and Booth bullies and puts him down, not letting him even get a word in. It's because his mind is made up before a word is spoken.

As far as Cam's thing with the identity theft, I can certainly see where she is coming from. The thing that is left out is what the punishment is without the aggravated label. Is she still getting nailed? There is something to be said for not letting something ruin your life. It took me more than a year to get over a break in and burglary of my house. I was on edge and angry and couldn't sleep. One thing that interests me is why it would take so long to rectify her situation. Now that the person is caught, wouldn't there be people can get her back on the road. Angela's character seems to have amazing talent for rectifying it.

I wouldn't get into the gymnastics stuff. I know that one young lady spoken to was a an Olympic medalist. She did a decent job.
