Just caught a rerun of one of her 5 episodes of Criminal Intent. I just can't figure out if they purposely made her so very unlikeable, or if it's just what she personally brought to the role. She talks like an immature sorority girl, she's argumentative with everybody including a judge and her own partner and captain, and she spouts off commands to anyone near her. And this is someone who just transferred in to the major case division from Brooklyn, so she wasn't even used to working in Manhattan or with high profile cases. It's just not believable that such a snotty immature little know-it-all would be a detective to begin with, especially as a seasoned major case detective. But it looks like the producers saw their mistake pretty quickly and pulled her. Why else would she come and go so fast, never to return. Even for a franchise that has a steady rotation of changing ADAs and judges, and CI in particularly flip flopped evenly between two pairs of star partners in later seasons, it seemed abrupt. I guess they took a chance on how she would fit, she totally sucked, and they sent her on her way.
