Ever since Women's Murder Club ended last year -- after a way too short run, in my opinion -- I've been looking for appearances by Angie Harmon. Her own series would be great, but if not, I'll settle for whatever I can get. She's just signed to guest star in episode four of the upcoming season of Chuck.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Harmon will play a character named Sydney, a spy for the Ring who's looking to kill Ryan McPartlin's Captain Awesome alter ego.
Her character of Lindsay Boxer on Women's Murder Club was a badass detective who could beat the heck out of a perp while ordering pizza on her cell phone. I've been intermittent with my Chuck viewing, but I'll definitely be checking out this episode and hoping to see more of Harmon.
Other recent additions to the NBC show include Smallville's Kristin Kreuk and Superman's Brandon Routh. Any thoughts on this latest addition? And wouldn't you like to see Harmon in her own series again?

I loved "Women's Murder Club" and was so dissapointed when it was canceled. I think it would have done better on a cable station like TNT or USA. I love Angie and am glad to see her in anything.

'Women's Murder Club' was one of a number of "on the bubble" ABC shows after the strike-shortened season. It's unfortunate that it was canceled, in effect, to make space for a second season of 'Eli Stone', which ended up canceled anyway after a handful of episodes.
'Eli" was a great concept which was, in my opinion, horribly executed in about 80% of its episodes. 'Women's Murder Club' wasn't startlingly original, but the source material was good, the episodes were generally well-executed, and it probably had more long-term potential.
Angie Harmon is few people's idea of a great actress, but the character of Lindsay Boxer was well-suited to her particular talents and limitations, and the supporting cast was quite competent and worked well together. Having seen how badly 'Eli' turned out, I pine for what might have been, even if it wouldn't have worked out either.
