S13E7, "Not in my Backyard," starts off rather drab, picks up some interest as the first murder happens within 10 minutes, falls again into a slow gallop, increases its intrigue an hour in, then again drifts off to sleep by the ending. I mean, how many heated council meetings inside ugly windowless rooms with loud speeches about the past vs. progress can we sit through? However, the episode is indeed remarkable due to its uniquely disturbing deaths by sliding door and concrete burial in car. There were two blokes who had me confused since they looked a bit similar and I had no interest in either. The character of Fiona Conway brought some life and light into the show, which is something usually exhibited by the lovely Joyce, who sadly features but briefly (although Joyce is much less sassy than Fiona). We must endure the viewing of too much skin, a lady with a terrible hairstyle in a stylish bra, and again, cheating husband(s). Ah, I do miss the older seasons. Remember the one when Cully nearly gets killed by an old school mate? Yes, those were the days. But all good things must come to end, and that's where we'll end up next time, with the last episode of season 13.
