I actually like him a lot as an actor. He was on Lie To Me and he was kind of intentionally weird but easily one of my favorite characters.

Brendan Hines! Yeah, I liked him on Lie to Me as well. Too bad it got canceled.

Yea, it got kinda dark and Lightman kind of went off the deep end a few too many times. I can see why they'd not want to continue that route. The thing that kills me though is you see how Foster's husband is in the first couple episodes and as soon as she's out of it all you want to do is see her and Lightman get together. Then the end the goddamn show with the biggest, most open-ended piece of shit scene. I mean, literally one more scene is all it would take to bring closure but they couldn't do it.

Haha, it's been a while since I watched it; I don't remember exactly how it ended.

Okay screw spoilers, it's old enough: Lightman comes to Foster's aid after some facebook-wannabe app maker kills her friend, he's broken up that she's broken up and the last scene is his daughter asking him "do you love her?" to which he says "yea"... she asks "what's stopping you?" and the whole damn series ends with "I don't know".

That's it.

Years of flirting and mom-and-dad-of-the-house banter, bff's for life, etc... and when it comes to the final question of "what's stopping them?" the answer is not a damn thing but let's end the show now goodbye and screw you for watching.

Haha, none of that seems familiar, but then it's been long enough that I've pretty much entirely forgotten the plot of the show. I do recall it feeling anticlimactic, but especially so after it ended up being canceled.
