"To all the people on the Open Window thing.---HOW MANY people took ONE sentence out of my post AND OUT OF CONTEXT?"
I assume I am one of the people this is directed at. For the record, I commented on the sentence that caught my attention because, as I stated, I thought Catherine was being ridiculous about the window, considering who their adversaries were, and I found the whole thing hilarious. My comments had nothing to do with the point you were making, only the situation Catherine was currently worrying about.
"To be taken out of context repeatedly by posters and then to have someone actually AGREE with me, only to credit SOMEONE ELSE with my point is currently chafing."
Purely accidental I am sure; still, I imagined you wouldn't be happy, that's why I corrected it as soon as I saw it.
"So what I traditionally LIKE about Catherine: she doesn't give ANY preferential treatment to any suspect, regardless of age, race, condition, creed, etc. When someone is a suspect, she interrogates them and sees it through. And the guy HAD used his money and status to violate the law. So my sympathies WERE NOT with him to begin with (plus, Stephen McHattie's Gabriel killed my beloved BATB Series-1 Catherine. SO HE HAD IT COMING! So on behalf of her, GO CURRENT CATHERINE and put him in his grave! --Sorry, that just came from my ORIGINAL BATB place!! HeeHeeHee! Glad THIS Vincent was actually able to save the CHARACTER, as he obviously was trying to make his life count)."
I disagree with most of this, as you probably expected. Catherine can't have it both ways. She can't abuse her authority because SHE thinks she's right and then hide behind "it's all about justice." It doesn't make her look any better when she happens to have part of the puzzle correct. And I know you're not seriously giving Cat a pass on her obnoxious behavior on the grounds that Zalman skirted the law; especially when she has skirted the law, procedures, and protocol hundreds of time for the good of someone. So Zalman did it for the good of himself...didn't make him a mad scientist or a murderer. I can't get behind Catherine's beastly behavior. I just can't. And I can't get behind the notion that her contributions to saving the world are any grander than anyone else's...especially Vincent's.
"And I LOVED the poster that said that they have flipped what is considered the traditional male/female relationship issues on BATB"
I liked that, too.
