No, you didn't miss much Jen. Imagine ED running. In a tank top (the good part). And then running some more. Then there was some more running....
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
This is why I'm calling it Run, Eliza, Run. The only reason I can see that they made her a track star is so that we could have lots of running. Otherwise, she'd drive a freakin' car.
That being said, wouldn't you think she'd wear a sports bra if she's going to run everywhere? Not that I'm complaining, mind you, just curious.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The scratch track for the unaired pilot used the "Lola Running" track from the RLR soundtrack for all those scenes. It was quite amusing.

It's a remora, dimwit.
It did strike me as a lot like "Run, Lola, Run" - though what bugged me was that she was just delaying long-term problems. They did show that her sister was fully capable of finding other sources of drugs, and helping her brother win a game isn't going to get him to stop gambling - if anything she reinforced it. With the Rebecca plot line, I wanted it to be that every time Tru tried to "fix" something, remove a cause of death, fate tossed another one in until they got to suicide - and any ME worth his latex could quickly tell an entrance wound from an exit wound, especially at such a close range. And one pep talk - that's only enough on a family sitcom. If Tru had hauled Rebecca's ass into the hospital, said she'd tried to kill herself and got her held there until she could get counseling, then I might have thought of her as actually helpful.

But the ME never saw the wound, only had it described to him by her.

I can't even.

Y'know, I jumped to Mutant Enemy (writer), not CSI-like stuff, then it went all downhill from there.

You know, I just couldn't watch it. I couldn't. Eliza running? I have Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. I can just skip to her parts.
I watched S2 Coupling instead.

I thought they had a shot of him looking at an X-Ray, and he pointed to the mouth on it to show Tru where he thought the bullet had entered. Plus the angle of the shot looked strange for having come from a gun in the mouth - even a gun that small. Oh, and examing the mouth is one of the first things done, right along with looking over the body for bruises, other injuries, etc. I was thinking they might play with the idea of distance of the shot - that maybe it wasn't such a small gun, but that someone had shot her from another building.

No, that was just a diagram he'd worked up. He couldn't have been looking at an x-ray, because she hadn't died yet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We didn't get to see any professionals looking at the body, right? Just Tru and the guy that wheeled her in?
