Oh Rex, ich lieb' dich so!

Tonight's episode of Kommissar Rex is about a lady who was murdered in a beauty salon... except that the killer got the wrong person! And we get to have lots of close-up, lingering looks at gloves and various people who own gloves, as the killer used gloves in the attack.

I love my Kommissar Rex, and I actually don't think I've seen this episode, which makes it hard to pay attention to writing about it and watching it. Still, the crimes are always ingenious and it's exciting to discover how they're solved in a totally non-CSI way.

Of course, this episode has all varieties of delicious intrigue... was it the friend who murdered her, or was it her lover who was also doing the friend, or was it some random person? Oooh, or was it the son, who also owns leather gloves and tried to run Rex over?

And now Moretti and the lady he'd invited over to dinner are arguing over Rex, even though she's a vet and should be used to the way dogs behave... Pfft. But now he's worked out about the murder possibilities due to her handbag, which is handy... boom boom!

Mistaken identity, of course! The murderer was after the lady who has asthma and also has the same bag as the lady who was murdered did. The plot deepens... But we're down to Herr Baumann or the son, Sascha.

And what a snazzy waistcoat Moretti has on today! And the guys in the office have figured out the date with the vet and his hangover and Rex being in a bad mood... Ahhh, happy days. He says they're on first-name terms, which makes sense when you work with German and the 'Sie' (formal and polite) and 'du' (friendly) forms of 'you.'

*LOL* Stockinger dressed up as a woman to go into the beauty salon is the funniest thing I've seen on TV in a long time!

And they've worked out that the killer was a man after all. Now the lady is out riding and I suspect that something nasty will almost happen to her, but won't because Rex will save her just in time from her evil nasty son, who is hiding in the barn with a thing to kill her. And yes he does! Hurrah! Rex to the resuce!

He didn't want the money to be taken from him. Something unusual... oh well. People will kill for the strangest of reasons.

Anyways, Rex Seasons 1 and 2 are also out now on DVD, by the way. Both of those series star Tobias Moretti, who is quite delectable. That man made waist-coats hot. Although his character is killed off in one of the series... I don't know which one... but that just traumatises me, so I hope I never actually see the episode. I hate getting attached to TV characters!
