I can't lie, maybe I'm playing right into what the show wants, but I'm starting to like Tidwell. Sure, he's kind of slimy, but I don't think he's a bad guy. I'm guessing we probably won't be seeing a lot more of him awkwardly trying to flirt with Dani.

Damn, those prison psych experiments get me every. time. SO CREEPY.

Crap! I forgot that Life was on tonight!

quester - Friday nights at 10 Eastern is the normal airing time for Life.

It was good to see the conspiracy wall again. Did we get an id on the other guys in that photo? Whose funeral it was?

I liked seeing the old LT too.

No id on the other guys besides Jack Reese (and that's just an assumption since he's the only guy visible, and he's sporting a pornstache.)

Interview with Jason O'Mara.

So far interesting beginning and premise for Cold Case

Oh yeah. CC nearly always makes me cry, and this is no exception. For more than just the story.

I know, doesn't it? And because this same kind of storyline is a secondary thread in the sixties story I'm working on, it's hitting even closer to home than usual.

As usual, I nailed the whodunnit early on, but not the exact reason why-- that's what this show is so incredibly brilliant at.

They tend to have a mystery that, well, it isn't that it isn't important, but the path and character of the people is more important. The murder mystery is only a tool for us to get to know the people and circumstances.

It reminds me (especially this ep, because of the time period) of Sena Jeter-Naslund's Four Spirits. Drenched in a time, but what sucks you in and twists you up is that not only do you care about the historical character still mourned (and you know how that ends), you sign on to the fictional ones as well. CC builds the fictional in a realm known. And you don't know how it ends for the fictional and it is wrenching.

Watched LoM last night. I liked Jason O'Mara, which I didn't expect since I loved John Simm so much. The DH and I both thought Keitel blew, though. Maybe it's because Philip Glenister's Gene Hunt was so impressively organic and real. Keitel seemed to be all bluster without much behind it.
