Sonya Walger is a busy actress nowadays. Not only does she guest star from time to time on ABC's Lost as Penelope "Penny" Widmore but she appeared in a few episodes of FOX's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and is starring in HBO's Tell Me You Love Me, show that will return for a second season later this year.

Remember way back last fall? ABC was knocking heads with the Dancing with the Stars results show at 8 and Lost at 9. Boy, how things have changed. The network has been getting kicked around by everyone since Emmit walked away with the big silver disco ball and Lost went into hibernation.

This past Wednesday was rock bottom. The network found itself in fourth place both in total viewers and the 18-49 demo. Most disturbing was the performance of the new sit-coms Knights of Prosperity and In Case of Emergency. They managed to attract just 3.58 and 2.98 million viewers respectively. They were up against American Idol, but still... Ouch.

ABC's answer? Move Knights of Prosperity to 8:30 and let According to Jim lead off that 9PM hour. Yeah, that should work. It is good news for fans of Knights. Going up against Bones is certainly an easier task than facing Idol, so it would seem that they are at least trying to give the show a fighting chance. Things don't look good for In Case of Emergency though.

I hate bugs. All I have to do is think about them and I get that creepy-crawly sensation like there's a giant caterpillar doing a dance underneath my armpit. Ughhh... I hate 'em. To make matters worse, this episode was chock full of beetles. Flesh-eating beetles. I didn't even know those things existed. For me, this is a horrible realization.

After Mac and Stella find a body lying in a museum covered in the aforementioned beetles, the case is on to find the killer. The only witness is a little boy and he'd rather read his Samurai comic book instead of talk to the detectives. They should throw some beetles on him. Then he'd talk. Or cry... that's what I'd do.

I'm finally starting to accept that the writers of this show have no intention of expanding the backstory of any of the main characters. And I think I'll be okay with that choice as long as they put more effort into making the cases as interesting as they can possibly be.

Last night was a step in that direction because the two cases were very interesting, plus they switched up the teams a little. Doc Hawkes and Danny should be working every case together; they play off each other way better than either of them did with Mac or Stella.
