Yes - it was just that the profile they were doing of the murderer, that matched her perfectly too. Ok, she is on the autistic spectrum, but she is also wacky. In a nice sort of way, of course.
I do think that "How's your scrotum" has to be one of the best greetings ever.

Thanks to this thread I finally managed to check out an episode of Dirk Gently. I was glad for Marvin's warning as I'd have been very disappointed had I expected it to follow the plot of the books in any way. Even though it didn't, I felt like the actor really captured the character of Dirk Gently as Adams wrote him, and I found it very funny. Plus the obvious Sherlock parodies made it even funnier.

I lied. There are no things. Just books.

Yes, I like her for it, and I also like the way everyone allows her to be herself and respects her.
As for the parallels between her and the murderer's profile, that was hinted at more than the once, and I wonder if it is going to become a plot point.

The Bridge finished and was stunning. Worth watching.
I am currently watching Great Ormand Street. I am hooked on this, because some of what they are doing blows my mind. And the emotional rollercoasters they go on are astounding.
And yet I find it uplifting, because some of the children they deal with get better. But a lot of them die. And this week is the Heart Transplant week, meaning that you know half of them will probably not make it.

I finished watching it on iplayer last night. I think it would have been a fairly standard example of the genre if not for Saga. Saga is brilliant. Perhaps she'd be a bit trying to actually work with but anytime she wasn't on screen I was waiting for her to come back.

It wasn't just Saga, but the relationship between her and Martin. While everyone else accepts her (which is great in itself), Martin actually teaches her what makes other people tick. I was glad it ended on her going on that date.
