Whoopie! Season 2 endingtonight with Amanda and Sidney finally surrendering to each other in a whopping kiss, Season 3 can’t come soon enough. Love Sidney and Geordie, as well. Love all the main characters. Love the mystery twists and surprises in each textured new case. And, love the Jazz.

I LOVE this show!! Sidney is such a delicious hunk and so smart and his relationship with Geordie is wonderfully combustive; together they are a sensational pairing. Of course I can’t wait to see what on earth they will do with Sidney and Amanda’s relationship! By the way, that scene where they finally kissed was amazing. Sidney looked like he was kissing almost against his will! His rubbery closed-mouth kiss with his squinched face conveyed incredulity perfectly. I gained renewed respect for Amanda’s character once she finally came clean about what she wanted. Wonderful, wonderful series!! So glad it’s been renewed!
