Reactions and Reviews

Carolyn, Jim's ex-wife, is the forgotten character of Season 1. She was written out fairly quickly - sent off to run the Forensics Department of the San Francisco PD - so we didn't get to see much of her but what we did see, was a professional woman who found herself faced with watching Jim befriend a crazy anthropologist who, in a few short weeks, probably knew him as well as she had during the course of their entire marriage. It was quite clear though, she still cared very much for Jim and he for her. In this story, Carolyn is back in town for a visit immediately following the events of the series finale "The Sentinel By Blair Sandburg" and Teej (as she's known in TS) gives us a very touching look at where they are now. Shows us the differences in Jim as from what Carolyn remembers and what she sees now. There's a lovely emotion to this story that can be termed, on the surface, as nostalgia but is so very much more. This story gives Carolyn, and her relationship to and with Jim the treatement, she deserves.[1]
