CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: The Unusual Suspect (2006)
WTH
HOW in the HECK could Grissom, of ALL people, MISS THIS Episode!!!!!!!!
PLEASE!!!!!!!
ZERO EXCUSE for Not having him do Battle with that Very Precocious 12yr old!
Period.
NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service: Double Blind (2013)
10 Only for The Team
Forrest Gump must be SO PROUD of his "son".
Colin Hanks probably plays the BIGGEST PRICK in television history!!!
"To break a 'pencil neck' would provide the Greatest Joy possible!!!"
NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service: Corporal Punishment (2007)
Gibbs IS The Master!!
One line: "WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM, MARINE!!!"
An ACTUAL, Parris Island D. I. Could NOT Do Better or Be Prouder!!!
Mark Harmon Is BRILLIANT IN Character!!!
Harmon IS N. C. I. S.!!!
NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service: Extreme Prejudice (2012)
Til Death do us Part/Extreme Prejudice
I'm AMAZED at the Derogatory, less than 10 Ratings of these 2 Episodes.
Take them for What they Are, 2 TREMENDOUS episodes dealing with Issues of our APPARENT Forgotten past, US Navy Barracks, USS Cole, 9/11/2001.
Enjoy Gibbs and his team And their heartbreak for loss And FERVOR for Correction/Justice!!
NONE BETTER!!
Turbulence (1997)
"Captain Bowen? Captain Halloran!"
EXCELLENT Film!!
Movie Raters Only give it a 1 and a 1/2.
I get there BULLSH#T rating because of some of the aeronautical moves in this film.
WHAT they Miss, and to me, is the 1 on 1 between Bowen And Halloren!!
HOW Scared one Must be to Fly ANY plane in her situation!!??
WHAT Bowen does to bring Halloran is EPIC!!!
MAGNIFICENT!!
The Last 30 minutes MAKE this Film!!!
SEE IT!!!!!
NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service: SWAK (2005)
The Gibbs Headslap
HAS to be said!!!
Top 5 NCIS Episode With a Top 3 Scene!!
Gibbs: "Tony, you will not die."
Normally, this statement said to a sick or dying person is taken as an inspirational platitude.
WHAT Makes this the Scene it Is?
The Gibbs Headslap!!!!!❤
Tony Knows IMMEDIATELY he Won't die!
This/THE move from Gibbs is Transcendent!!!
A True NCIS'er Knows EXACTLY what I am saying/alluding to!
Gibbs later calls Tony the "Finest Agent I've ever trained"!
SPECTACULAR!!!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Oh, and Todd's GENUINE tears for Tony is a BONUS!!!!
AWESOME "Fiction" that Makes it Our OWN!!!
NCIS RULEZ!!!!!
Law & Order: I.D. (1996)
For a Different reason
I Love this episode for the Fact that at the End Adam saves the day.
The DA uses his Real Power in Ensuring that a trial is Truly Tried with Transparency And Fairness!
The trial judge handling the eventual murder case has let Power go to his Head Which, can NEVER happen.
As he is reminded judges aren't supposed to care who wins.
This trial judge is a Real jackarse.
Full of Himself due To his position.
What's tough on Adam, as has happened before and I think happens again in at least one episode, he has to call out a colleague for malfeasance.
He hates to do this But, this is What makes him the Best DA the show had.
(However Arthur was a VERY Strong 2nd)
Dealing with what hurts But, upholds the Law is What Makes the Law the Law.
SALUTE, Adam.
Beautiful Episode on This Tangent Alone.
I Must let out my Cynical side...... as good as the lead Culprit was, COULDN'T L&O have selected an actress withOut any NOTICEABLE "Facial Markings"??!!😜
Watch it again and YOU'LL See!
PS - I've seen this episode 10+ times and Make A Point to Watch Everytime it comes on!!
GOOD STUFF!!!
Revenge (1990)
I Wonder if Tibey Lived?😛
MAGNIFICENT flick.
Tibey "admits" shoulda married the mother then He betrayed his wife by Not giving her a child.
Jay's in a tough spot, true.
After What is Done to him, AND he Saved Tibey's life?
ALL Bets are OFF.
Had Amaro, Nacho, and Jay gone back and taken out Tibey (after he had cleaned himself)
the Reckoning would be complete.
NO Way to feel sorry for Tibey in Any way.
PS - Amaro and Nacho scenes Make the movie's 2nd half.
Both Very Underrated character actors!!
EXCELLENT flick, indeed.
Miami Vice: El Viejo (1986)
Top 2!!!🏆⭐❤
El Viejo
Top 2 Miami Vice Episode!
Theme is Perfect.
Good cops now referencing Great Lawmen of the past.
Avenging the Loss of a partner's son.
"One Riot One Ranger"!
Loved the way Miami Vice Paid Respect to the Lawmen fighting injustice that preceded them.
Willie Nelson portrays a Magnificent character in the Texas Ranger.
Superb!!
As was with the other "Top 2" episode: "Out Where the Buses don't Run" Miami Vice NAILS It with the Climactic Ending Song.
Buses: Brothers in Arms was Immaculate.
El Viejo: State of Emergency, Cactus World News was Spectacular!!
As was evident in all Vice episodes, Music was Vital!!
El Viejo was No Different!!
CLASSIC!!!
Criminal Minds: Damaged (2008)
SPECTACULAR
Some might think this episode is easily figured out.
Get OVER it.
What makes this episode Special is evident on THREE Levels. NOT Many episodes from ANY Show can say That.
1 - it provides Rossi Closure that was discussed in Birthright. That brings in "Show Continuity".
2 - it allows a Deeply Sentimental value to an Overall Show that consistently deals with the Worst our society can provide (Show was designed to Explore this) by Granting Rossi to give Back the parents home to the kids who did Nothing to lose their parents But, have Obviously suffered to Make It All these years. Shows Rossi's humanity and further ingrains him in our consciousness as we continue to get over losing Gideon.
3 - the ending brings in a soft/funny/light side of the overall ensemble's interaction with Kevin wanting to have a "Talk" with Rossi; AND, JJ's UNFORGETTABLE "Garcia and Kevin sittin in a tree" riff.
Have I spilled the beans a little bit?
ABSOLUTELY.
Yet, this Episode is JUST. That. Good!!!
Law & Order: Criminal Intent: Inhumane Society (2010)
FANTASTIC
The ending is a might Unfair, except for the Law. How so, the gifted fighter had to learn a Hard lesson. The determined, yet patient trainer, waited on him. NEVER gave up. Yes, trainer coulda had a bit of a god complex But, a- paid Own dues in ring, b- KNEW What Greatness Looked like and didn't want the fighter to Waste It (as SOOOOOO Many DO). Fighter was being drug back down by 2nd victim. He GOT what He deserved. 1st victim, he at least Tried to atone. That's what Got the trainer. True Fault? The fighter. Why? For Not Listening to Trainer in 1st place.
Emergency!: Welcome to Santa Rosa County (1976)
AWESOME!!
Truly AMAZING Episode!!
I've recently bought The Entire Emergency Series I remember watching from my youth.
48YEARS from beginning of it being produced in my youth!
Amazing Series.
THIS One No Different!!
COMPLETELY Relevant that the Vigor And Enthusiasm displayed by the Paramedics then Can be Found in them today!
Welcome to Santa Rosa County is No different!!!
It was Novice then.
It Is Standing Operating Procedure, NOW!!
Episode of Welcome to Santa Rosa Count is Spot On of their skills and enthusiasm..Go
Jonny and Rou,
Law & Order: Criminal Intent: Three-in-One (2010)
CRIMINAL INTENT
THIS is a RAPPROCHEMENT of the Writers, Directors, Producers, Executive Producers, Station Chiefs, and even Network Brass.
GO F YOURSELF.
Episodes 10-16 Only Got BETTER!
I Am a Goren fan to the core.
True.
HOWever, Goldblum's Nichol's Is MAGNIFICENT!!!
He is So Unassuming Yet, so Deep And Spot ON it is mind-numbing.
Each of these last 7 only topped the other.
(14 & 16 as Favorites with 16 #1)
What he and Goren Could have done Together........
Anyway, to have kept the Pair System would have Continued to work had SOMEONE Had FORESIGHT to realize that Most of what is on Network TV SUXX.
These Groups Make you THINK.
They Don't NUMB.
REMEMBER, I Am writing all this 10yrs later, STARVED for this Type of Acto/Tele/Drama!
PS - toss in the F Murray Abraham dynamic, occasionally, (who was Stupendous in 16) and L&E CI WOULD have had NO PROBLEM OUTliving that "Made-for-T-V SUV BS".
SHAME On You Law and Order Criminal Intent Brass.
You P#SSED away a MAGNIFICENT Opportunity!!!!☠☠☠
Law & Order: Criminal Intent: The Consoler (2011)
SHAME ON "dick" Wolf
Vincent D'Onofrio was BRILLIANT in this episode.
PERIOD.
Top 10 for Certain.
MASSIVE FAILURE that wolf Would Deprive US of D'Onofrio's Incredible Talent for ANY Reason!!
THIS Episode Proves it!!
L&O goes 20 and CI ONLY 10?
WHAT are you Smoking??!!
What a WASTE.
THE BEST Character the L&O franchise EVER produced and you just have a BRAIN FART!!!
CSI: Miami: Death Eminent (2006)
SUPERB
What MAKES this episode is that Horatio FINALLY gets Ratner.
He Had him in "After the Fall".
He was Double crossed by Ratner in "Under Suspicion" when he Had Serial killer Walter Dresden dead to right for murder and Ratner let him walk due to Professional Spite.
This Gives Horatio "Satisfaction"; and, puts that Smug Bass-Tid Where he belongs...... for Life.
Law & Order: Patsy (1999)
PERFECT Title.
Perfect in Every Way.
Except McCoy is the PATSY!!!🤣🤣🤣
BLEW this case Badly.
Person of Interest: The Devil's Share (2013)
All The Same!!!❤✔
This review could repeat a LOT of what has already been said.
SUPERIOR Episode.
Top 3, NO Doubt!!
What gets me, Enrico Colantonio, Elias, ISN'T Listed in the credits.
HOW???
His Closing Scene with Simmons is one of LEGEND.
PERIOD.
On Par with ANY Scene Ever filmed.
TV, Series, Movie.
Awesome!!!
$0.02
PS - All Players were GREAT in their Roles.
VERY Rare when ALL Hit Ultimate Mark's in Same episode.
Law & Order: Thinking Makes It So (2006)
Great Episode
Fontana is a HERO.
The Creep kidnapped an 8yr old girl.
Borgia can Kiss My Conservative Backside!!
A LITTLE, INNOCENT, Girl!!!
Fontana Got The Job DONE!!!
Period.
Law & Order: The Sixth Man (2005)
WRONG
So What if the Athlete is a Jack@ss.
It's Difficult to Be in Spotlight day in day out.
DO they draw the Ire of the Average Man?
ABSOLUTELY.
Did I find his "attitude" towards the detective's at the beginning repulsive, Yes.
No Reason For that.
You have a GIFT.
Appreciate It.
BUT, NO Man should have to Have his SON Or Family Attacked (verbally yes) for What You Do.
THAT Is The Line.
Period.
Man 1.
Man 2.
Involuntarily Manslaughter.
Innocent!!!
NOT Murder 2.
NO CHILD DESERVES to Face what the Athlete's child Did.
Just because Someone Pays to "watch a Sport" they DON'T Become a god.
They Shouldn't necessarily Die But, an Obstinate mouth can Often write checks the rest of him Can't Cash.
Murder 2?
NO WAY.
Scorpion: Arrivals and Departures (2015)
Amazing Episode
IF this Episode doesn't make you a Fan your are NOT Human.
A LOT of people post on these boards that what these guys do is impossible.
Really?
Do YOU Have a 197 IQ?
IF Not, how the H#LL do YOU Know you Ignorant Wretch.
These episodes "apply solutions" that only a Gifted few could Ever come up with.
Take the Show on THAT Basis and, Appreciate IT'S Genius.
As for this Episode, the ending with "I'll put on a cup of coffee" shows a Relation to ALL of us who have: either lost a loved one, or been estranged from someone close to us.
APPRECIATE And RESPECT this episode for bringing Out That!!!
Billions: Golden Frog Time (2017)
UNBELIEVABLE
Excuse my Ignorance, just got Into this show, and my Exuberance!!
THIS Episode would make John Ross Ewing Jr, aka JR, Yell "YEE-HAW"!!!!
FANTASTIC Episode!!!
Hoosiers (1986)
A Movie EVERY Kid should be Made to See
Hackman was STOUT, as Per Usual.
CAN'T Imagine Anyone else in his role.
Simply, a Film about one Theme: T-E-A-M.
A Theme that Should Last for All Time.
Too Many subplots to mention.
2 that Stand Out.
Jimmy was Dale's Weapon.
Buddy was Dale's Force.
Every Great Coach has a Floor Leader/point guard.
Every Great Coach has a Shooter/Star.
Dale was Blessed with Both.
Along the way he Taught Defense, Grit, and Team!!
THOSE Win Championships!!!
Fantastic Film!
One for The Ages!
Law & Order: Aftershock (1996)
Eye for an eye?
It's NOT Fair the way L&O took out Kinkaid.
It Is Human Nature the events that led up to her demise.
Drinking or Not drinking.
Choice.
We ALL Have it to make.
The B. Frickin. S. the writers insert IS that it is Blamed on the viewing of an Execution.
SO??!!
DID the Victim have the SAME Choice?
NO!
The Murderer got Off EASY compared to What HE DID.
The Victim had NO Such Opportunity.
I grieve for Claire; And, for McCoy, Briscoe and Curtis' feelings For her BUT, a UNRepentant MURDERER Received Justice.
Good!
Law & Order: Home Sweet (2006)
10/10 - Bring The HAMMER
Fred Dalton Thompson. 👍
'Nuff said! 😉
"I don't lose home games". 💪
Law & Order: Damaged (1998)
Performances.......
If Lauren Ambrose didn't get an Emmy for THIS Performance, they should Never give the Award Again!!!
BRILLIANT!!!
Secondly, Lenny should get a Strong Honorable Mention as the grieving Father at the end.
Simply Brilliant Episode!!
PS - the Judge should be Castrated. At SOME POINT Our Legal System HAS to Identify with Morality and Not just Legality.
