Notes:
Sometimes
when you see the commercials, they give you enough to indicate the ep will be
just as good in its entirety. In this case, they were right.
I don't think this
reaches the level of Indifference
or Confession, but this one was good enough to at least be taped and
considered right now one of the better ones for S15.
We're getting to
see that Joe is more hands on in approaching suspects, at least when he head
slapped the tattoo parlor guy. I sense that he is willing to speak his
mind and fight for some things that he values highly. Last week, it was
the military. This week it was a corrections officer. The chemistry
between him and Ed and Van Buren is pretty good so far.
Regarding
the Candice Bergen character, I would agree that she needs to show more
passion, more zeal in her role as an un-afraid judge. If she is going to
be a central character once TBJ rolls along, she needs to be better to
compliment and not hurt Lennie and Jamie. Could it be that Lennie would
be the one who might end up protecting the judge?
I'm happy the jury
couldn't come up with a verdict so as to keep the door of suspense open and
because the CO's actions could be considered as justified. Had I been on
that jury, I would have had lots of difficulty convicting him. What about
you?
Finally, I had a
feeling something was going to happen to the officer's family once the ep
ended. But let me say that Serena's news isn't as dramatic as the classic
ending of Prince of Darkness. You should probably see now why I
think change is needed in the second chair role, now.
