body of proof

currently watching body of proof and i like it!! dr megan hunt (and dana delany) kicks ass!!!

she's a brilliant ex-neurosurgeon and amazing medical examiner -- she's like the female version of simon baker's the mentalist coz she seems to know everything but she's more credible than simon baker since she's a real surgeon.

im just wondering.. as a medical examiner - can you really go and talk to witnesses and suspects like that? it's the first show i've seen where a medical examiner is directly involved in an investigation (even semi leading them). in most shows ive watched, they're the support team who gathers evidence on the body. another thing, her work place is huge! like right inside a good area of the hospital when in the other shows, medical examiners are in a small room with metal containers where you freeze the dead bodies.

oh, and her partner's quite hot! i wonder if they'll ever put a love connection between the two? (though peter seems to be younger - but hey, she's one sexy cougar!)
