Archie Panjabi wasn’t kidding about bringing Kalinda’s boots to

At the Television Critics Association summer press tour earlier this month, the Emmy winner revealed to

It’s weird seeing Weller all dressed up. Let’s hope it’s permanent.

Just make her a series regular and be done with it.

Archie’s boots are made for walking and that’s just what they’ll do.
