Getting worse by the season. this season, 12, is particularly awful. they skipped the usual caramel-sweet, but at least it was sweet, Christmas special for a beyond moronic halloween episode of the invasion of the Murdoch body snatcher. They still managed to go the whole of December without a new episode, which would have made sense if it had a Christmas bit. They did not, and the way it looks now, the show is dying. It has been around for way too long, yet no one is willing to admit that questionable from the start (well, it was sweet), it is now beyond boring, way too unbelievable and badly written and constructed.

John Malkovich is NO Poirot! No trite American can play this great British character, especially the one so pompous and pretentious as Mr. Malkovich.
