Once upon a time, I indulged in a little reverie, and imagined an alternate universe where ABC executives had grown brains and guts. They had hired  Riley LaShea

This week, I asked myself the following hypothetical.  What if I had a fairy Godmother willing to grant me a wish?  I could either have WMC back on TV, or continue to enjoy the Virtual Season.  The Women’s Murder Club would return on American broadcasting, but I wouldn’t get to see how the virtual season plays out.  I know what you’re thinking.
