I will look forward to it. I have been watching the current season and am currently three or four episodes behind. So far (through 5 episodes, I think) it has seemed a little scattershot. In past seasons there was always one theme -- the ice truck killer, the bay harbor butcher, the Jimmy Smits character, and Trinity. It will be interesting to see which of this season's subplots takes center stage. The season started a bit strange...some good episodes and some boring ones - but the last 2 (including last night) were awesome. I wouldn't be shocked if the Trinity angle somehow continues (just speculation on my part).
They better not get rid of Lumen (Julia Stiles). She was awesome last night. If they feel the need to whack someone, please God, let it be LaGuerta....she's even more annoying than Rita.
