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.

Life's Questions Answered
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)
Harper's Island sounds interesting and I could swear I saw a promo for it - it looked interesting. Is it really a midseason replacement?
And he seemed to be getting ... stronger? more mature? more sure of himself.
Well, he had a found a purpose in life . . .
I wonder if Brennan will visit him in the hospital. I think Angela would go once. It will be interesting to see how whatever replacement they find copes with "Yeah, your predecessor went crazy bad, but we loved him, so don't think you can waltz in here and we'll welcome you with open arms."
It's something I don't see much in current TV, a loveable character gone really, really off the rails with no real view towards getting back on them. It'll be neat to see how this plays out. The show is generally pretty good at not dropping plot points like this--see Angela's marriage in Fiji--so I think this will play out nicely.
