I was so frantic to switch to USA and tape "The Saint", only to have them show "eosphoros" instead (despite online websites). Argh!! If USA follows through with its schedule, "The Saint" will be broadcast on Saturday May 7 at 11PM Eastern.www.usanetwork.com/series/criminalintent/

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but it's as good as any without starting another thread. If anyone is interested in watching or taping the Mike Logan L&O movie "Exiled"--it's going to be on USA today at 4PM Eastern, and will be repeated Monday May 23 at 2AM Eastern, and Tuesday May 24 at 4PM Eastern.

Congratulations to S. Epatha Merkerson on her Emmy for "Lackawanna Blues"! I missed the show last night--but I heard about the speech slip--so now more than ever I want to see the thing. Has it hit DVD yet?

SEM was absolutely fabulous in "Lackawanna Blues". I caught, and taped, the original airing on Movie Central. And congratulations to her. The DVD of LB came out last month.

Ehhh, the season premiere was not the greatest episode. Is it just me or did Jack get out of character? and how could they NOT THINK to search the mother's house? At least Green is back.
I dunno what the crossover with SVU is gonna be like, should prove interesting, to say a great many things in one.

Well, clean missed both parts of the crossover.
I thought last night's episode was very interesting. Fontana had a rough time, but he didn't become uncontrollable. Ed was the level-headed partner, and I liked Van BUren's "Follow the facts".
Very impressed witht he actor who played the father, you really didn't know what to think. And the end scene with Fontana at his door: "Well played" to both gentlemen.

...Very impressed witht he actor who played the father... Raymond J. Barry. He was also in one of my favourite movies, with one of my favourite soundtracks, Dead Man Walking. I think that last night's episode was quite good. There was a press release on nbcumv.com about Dennis Farina giving a "powerful performance". For once, they weren't too far off the mark. It was rather convenient that Fontana was the one to hear the mugger's death-bed confession in relation to a case Fontana worked on 10 years earlier. ETA: McCoy: We don't want to look stupid unless we have to. At least, until we know for sure that we're stupid. ;D

Well, I thought Richard Brooks was shamefully underused in his episode. They didn't do any more than the usual guest Defense Attourney, only with a token "Hey, you used to work with us!" You have Robinette there and...I have to admit that through most of the episode I was screaming at the TV "Paul would never take this woman's case!" and then the end. Richard Brooks was excellent in portraying his internal conflict, but why did they have to have that very long reaction shot of Jack? Grr...
Van Buren was excellent in her scenes. Please give this woman more to do!

"House of Cards" 11-9-05 It had potential, but it just didn't grab me. Borgia got some scenes, nothing stand out but she is competent. The guy who played Chelsea's boyfriend was very good in this, though I think he suffered from some hokey dialogue in the script. That poor man, the woman he cared about slipping back into trouble and the baby he loved as his own as the pawn of a druggie, the same type of people he tries to help clean up...bless his heart.
While I wonder about the legal implications of "Let 'em take the weekend off", bless Branch for that. (And also, they didn't beat it into our heads that "Branch is politically savvy! He's running for reelection, what will the voters think?" A nice change of pace from recent episodes.)
Mary Chapin Carpenter once did a song called "House of Cards". "On the surface it looked so safe, but it was perilous underneath. That's the place you shoved your doubts and hid your ugly scars. God forbid if word got out 'bout your house of cards", and then details how you try to escape from the past and you want to move on but you've still got the old fears that things will catch up or tear you down. Not strictly related to the episode--unless the whole fragile lives come crashing down was what they had in mind, though the writers may have been alluding to cards as in calling the lawyer's bluffs and gambling on the jury.
It's a very good song, by the way, (on her album Stones in the Road if anyone's interested) and Mary Chapin Carpenter is a fantastic songwriter. But the episode title triggered it and now the song is in my head. Fortuantely for you this is a text-based medium, but either way my throat seized up on me and any kind of vocalizing hurts.

Even though I was more fascinated with Green's tie than most of the episode, I think it was still way better than this week's SVU. It was also quite fascinating, if odd, McCoy mentioning Andrea Yates getting a new trial on the same day that subject was the breaking story on the news. Go Arthur!
