[...] NUMB3RS is back with its first post-strike episode. I am happy to see the Epps Brothers back in action. I hope that the writers will put some meat behind some of the story lines, especially the unlikely romance. [...]

Hmm... I agree on the Don/Liz. Thank God they finally settled that one out.

I'm a bit of a Charlie/Amita junkie I don't mind them together. The more I see, the more I love. Just a little pointer too, Navi Rawat wasn't even in 'In Security', so I don't know what kiss you are referring to.

I think Megan and Larry are cute... but that's about it. It's a pretty unbelievable relationship.

I just don't think they should ahve that many relationships in a procedural drama. It's okay to have them on the side, or in my opinion, a max 2 main ones, but what Numb3rs has is too many.

One of the best shows on the box though!

I have to agree in some aspects as far as the romance. There's something I find really uncomfortable with the Megan and Dr. Larry love plot. I agree with Proteanlives that Don and Liz had something that I found compelling in their relationship.

As for Charlie and Amita, I do think they make them bump heads too much. Maybe it means that if they do fall for each other, it'll be really earth-shattering? I don't know. I'll keep watching for now though.

I think one of the reasons these couples seem so off is that the best relationships of the show seem to be male-male friendships or family ties: don and charlie, the two brothers and their dad, charlie and larry, david and colby, don and his therapist, don and the team--they are largely homosocial relationships that are complicated and caring, which is great to see on television.

Although I must say, out of the three relationships mentioned above, I think I was most rooting for Don and Liz. I thought maybe they had potential.

Right on target. Love the show - hate the couples. The best couple on the show is the dad and Charlie's boss...they are great and believable.

Hey, I agree with your view of the couples on this show. The show is one of the best on the air. Charlie and Amita? You are right, there is no chemistry. Her character is also a bit to pushy, and it doesn't work for me. as for Don and Liz, according to the episode from 11/2/07 they already boke up, cause Don didn't tell her of a relationship from five years ago. what the heck. That was from five years ago, she doesn't need a list of every single relationship Don had ever had, does she? This couple just didn't work either. She is too insecure in her relationship with Don. Yes, he may have been a woman's man, but still, cut the guy some slack. In watching Rob's protrayal of the character, it didn't seem like there was much fizzle, in the recent episodes leading up to the split. He needs someone who doesn't come accross as too abrasive. Just my thoughts. Megan and Larry? Oh gees, where do I begin,, Too weird,.

Dude, you need to chill out.
The love stories are not that bad and I think they fold into the show well.
I think Don and Lisa make a cute couple. I sorta agree with you on Megan and Larry, it's a bit of a stretch.
Still love the show, though. Makes Fridays Less Dull.
