Yeah, weirdly they threw in the occasional Doren ep. False advertising! I'm watching the two-parter now, even though I've seen it before, and it's already making me feel dirty.

Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
Watching CSI Miami for no good reason I can think of. This show. Damn. From the crimes themselves to the way they just intuit the most unlikely of motives and circumstances. It is just. so. bad. And that's before you factor in the "I smell a fart" school of acting (TM Joey Tribbiani) they seem so fond of.
I watched a couple of episodes of "Cold Case" last night, and that show was good. The first one was a woman who disappeared the night Orson Welles ran his "War of the Worlds" broadcast. I loved the flashbacks, there was actually a real storyline there.
The series doesn't suffer from "guest star with speaking lines must be the perp or an accomplice"-itis that nearly every CSI/L&O variant suffers from. A lot of those shows sacrifice the mystery in favor of continuing whatever ridiculous soap opera complications they're running the regular characters through. I'm wondering if this is a difference between US-based and Canadian/British-based shows (I think "Cold Case" is Canadian).
CSI Miami
I don't know from the stories, but their DP makes some very pretty pictures. Usually with whatsis-face doing the sunglasses thing, but everything around him is beautiful.
But now that makes me think of Joel McHale, who has spoofed it on numerous occasions. Though I liked some Caruso back in the day.

They're showing previews for "Bones" ... they're starting the whole Gormogon thing all over again. sigh.
Yes, we get "The Widow's Son" next week.
Play "Spot when Zach goes bad!"
Poor Zach.
Poor Zach, indeed. sigh ... I liked him. And he seemed to be getting ... stronger? more mature? more sure of himself.
In the finale, when the others were standing outside the glass walls of his hospital room, was anyone else reminded of the first Christmas episode? (the one where they were all quarantined at Christmas time)
