Seriously, he's cute as kittens and huggable as all get out. I'm petite so I like short men. Short, smart, talented, HOT men. On AM he had one of the most beautiful actresses on earth as his love interest, so why not now. I am not related in any way to him, never even met the guy (I wish!) but I just had to defend both his cuteness and his hotness.

They're filled with bad science and bad police work- moving bodies before they've been photographed, spraying that Luminol all around in a room full of people without masks (that stuff is notoriously bad for you), seemingly accessing a national instant databank of fingerprints and DNA full of samples of everyone living or dead who has ever been in the US. <BR/><BR/>The worst is the way that they explain things to one another all of the time.<BR/><BR/>"Fingerprints, Mitch?"<BR/>"The grooves found at the tips of human fingers, Chip.

They took a photograph snapped by a tourist and blew it up and enhanced it so they could see what was behind the photographer reflected in the sunglasses of the person being photographed, and of course the enhanced section was just as sharp as anything.

Apparently, on every movie and TV show, repeatedly hitting the enter key will zoom in on any area of a picture and then enhance it until it is clearer then the original.
