Anyone catch last nights episode? I thought it was pretty good.....when the first scene flashed "August 2007" I groaned thinking could they get
anymore recent but the plot tied it all together. The ep's have been getting better since the season premiere which sucked.

Last month's episode was great. The plot was a lot like Silence of the Lambs but still original. Great, creepy story! I hope they get an Emmy this year!

I liked the War of the Worlds episode but this weeks episode seemed week and contrived to me. The whole video game tangent thing seemed pretty unrealistic.

I'm watching re-runs at 6 PM weekdays, and the one about the obese college student who died in the frat house fire one was amazing. So sad.
Does anyone else remember that one? |

I'm pretty sure that was The Promise which was mentioned on the previous page. It was a great episode.

Oops, missed that. Good to see I'm not the only one who loved it though. |

I remember that episode (the frat house fire) very vividly; it was so sad. It was the episode that got me hooked on the show. |

This week's episode had a few too many twists and turns. So this was a mercy killing? At the end, the ghost appeared to be appreciative towards the
killer.

I thought the same thing about her ghost! Did I miss who threw her off the bridge? If it was her friend, how did that small guy lift dead weight and carry her
through the hall without being seen? Maybe the hospital administration dumped her body?
Edited to add: Didn't the hospital say that she ran away? |

I think it was considered a merciful death compared to the life she'd have to live. They were forcing to be something she wasn't plus they fried her
brain pretty good there.

Yeah, this was a rip-off of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
That entire ep was just plain ludicrous. I don't understand why CC is so fixated on transgendered dead people. When handled well, they've turned in at least one great ep (the 1920's bootlegging lesbos) but this one was just plain stupid. And also illustrates how awful this series is to Philly cops prior to 2000. Of course they would've known that dead chick had suffocated before being plopped in the river. I liked how bullet bra bitch on wheels came out in the end via womens lib, though. By the way, are bullet bras still sold these days? Pics appreciated everso. Tonight's ep with nice guy serial rapist? This seriously offended me. I was in college at the time. I would've been a sopohomore when these seniors were graduating, but FUCK!!! We knew about date rape. We knew no means no. And we sure as hell would have known how to circulate rumors that a certain sumbitch had been getting too aggressive with the chicks and shut him down. What pisses me off worst it is that the authorities at the time took this stuff seriously. I was in student council. By 1980, the whole "bitch was asking for it" defense had been resigned to the last resort doghouse. I know of some serious prosecutions at the time for this kind of crap. The phrase date rape might not have been coined by then, but that guy's crimes would've been exposed long before he got a shot at any victim past his fourth. Plus, we were the generation first encountering Simplex 1, later Simplex 4, and finally this strange new wrinkle called "AIDS" or sormething like that. There is absolutely no chance a serial rapist could've operated on a US campus in that time and CC should be ashamed for saying so. OOOH and this business of the boss taking Scottie's 30 day suspension? Bullshit from start to finish. |

Piranhahaha - I totally agree with you on last night's epi. It would have made much more sense to set it in the 50s... maybe the 60s... stretching for the
70s, but the 80s was a time where people were much more aware. Plus, writing on the bathroom stall walls and having it still be there made me laugh.
I was lovin' the music, though. :) |

Yeah the soundtrack was pretty cool during that ep.
Anybody see the Japanese internment camp ep last night? Outstanding CC. Terrific job on their part recreating that inexcusable chapter in the country's history. The murder itself made no sense whatsoever -- just how did a boyhood friend become the kid's commanding officer, and then go from being an officer in the 442nd (which is a real life uint -- those guys were awesome!) to fighting in the Pacific? The coincidences to one side, that just wouldn't have happened. Still, I thought the subject was handled as well as I've ever seen it addressed. Is this it for fresh CC eps or are we tied up until the strike's over? |

I think there are just a couple left.
I'm bored with this show now. Because this show rarely changes it's formula, I figured that it was the boyhood friend after about 10-15 minutes. The only ones I like now are the ones that are different from the usual formula, like the one from a few weeks ago that had the guy using the videogame to lure the kids. You're right about the 442nd. I learned about them while watching the Ken Burns doc about WWII. The entire unit was made up of Japanese-Americans, but all the CO's were white. That could explain how the friend became CO. That unit only fought in Italy and Germany. Once the war ended in Europe, many soldiers who fought there were re-deployed to the Pacific, but not the 442nd. |

once again my only real complaint about this show is that the characters don't age appropriately. The mother in that show would have been around mid-30's to have a son old enough to enlist. 62 years later she would have been in her late nineties. The Quaker girl was 25 which would have made her 87 yet she look younger than the daughter ---a ll that clean Quaker living I guess. |

I just finished watching Sunday's episode. I thought it excellent. You're right about the aging though. Skip looked older than Ray's wife. Good
episode though, and I'm glad Boss is back.

They're about to sneak a new ep up on us tonight.

A pipe bomber using music boxes. Good episode. It seemed to focus more on the victims than the team. Looks like Scotty and the ADA may no longer be a
two-some. Good. Mixing romance in the office is never a good thing.

Yeah I wish they'd lay off the romances in this show. They're totally disposable.
Not a bad ep, but not a good one either. As much as I liked how they turned a cold case into a live one, it made no sense. What, the second victim who fired the bomber didn't notice that the bomb was in a music box? And nobody told the brother and his wife that the bombs were housed in music boxes? Not to mention mommy ignoring that a stranger gave the little girl (who I totally knew would survive) a mysterious box while aware that somebody was trying to blow up her hubby? The understated Smashing Pumpkins track was well placed, though. |
