I have CI plans tonight. If you see the flick - please give your impressions - I'm not convinced to spend time or money on it yet. you made a good choice, a friend of mine went to see the forgotten & said that i should've seen that instead oh well. its on DVD now i think if you want to see it but the REAL rent would be movie called SAW... very very very good!!!

Isn't Saw a horror flick? I used to stomach them when I was younger, now they are not entertaining, not scary, not much of anything to me. [glow=red,2,300]horror[/glow]

i would more readily call it a thriller instead of horror because it's not 'bloody' enough to be a horror movie (consider friday the 13th, nightmare on elm st, evil dead). If you have seen gothicka with halle berry, its like that, the camera angles & the way the color is drained from the film are what give it its creepiness. any 'gore' is more suggestive then visual, even though its rated R. if i tell anything about the plot i'll ruin the whole movie & i surely dont want to do that.

This was one of my favorites from season 3, even if Bishop was in it. hehehehe And is it me or did Bishop give Goren a really dirty look after Goren said his last line as if she were thinking "Oh shut up" I've read the other posts and agree that Brody started thinking Goren was Jewish but I think Goren did it on purpose, to irritate the perp, like Goren always does. Brody started yelling "you people" and "see how they twist things Claire?" As for Goren being part Jewish himself, who cares? Didn't Goren once a family member was from Italy? "Hard headed Calabria" or something like that? It may have been "Best Defense", the one with Carlos Leon in it. (The guy who had notes hidden in his sweater from his mother.) Correct me if I'm wrong! And I wonder if Goren could actually get away with swinging that bar at Brody. I have no doubt that Goren had complete control over what he was doing but still, you'd think Goren would get "written up" for the antic. And call me crazy but, I laughed when Goren swung the pipe just because he had the balls to do it! Baseball, basketball. Goren's father took him to see baseball games as a kid (Pravda) but he was a power forward in high school (Mad Hops). Seems odd he would go from one sport to another. Most guys love one sport all their lives. Well, I'm a girl, so what do I know about sports or loving sports? hehehe And don't ask me how I originally posted this on the wrong thread, after spending 45 minutes reading this one!! I deleted the other post

Just saw the ep this night. And it was creepy! But there is one thing that I found strange. Why did this Brody guy never suspect that he was of Jewish descent himself? I mean Brody is a Jewish name, too. Just like Danziger, Frankfurter ("Popper" in Yiddish) and all those geographic family names. -- Well, he must have been blind. As for Goren swinging the bar at Brody…in Europe, he wouldn't get away with it that easily. And there's yet a thing I think about: "Guys get very attached to toys". Could you imagine Goren himself spending hours assembling models? I could. As a teenager, I made models myself. I made a dinosaur, a Dutch mindmill…I didn't have that much room for displaying them, but concentrating on the cut-outs etc. helped me think. Later, as a young adult, I took up rosary-making. That's why I also use "rosarypliers" as a screen name. I made both chained rosaries and the kind strung on cord. It reminded me of the "abriged way of rosary prayer": Big bead, little bead, little bead… I also would string beads while watching LOCI. Actually, I still do.

"Brody" can also be celtic/gaelic. ("Broady" is gaelic) I have the name, both spellings, in my family tree, and until the last two generations, my family has been exclusively scot-irish.

I didn't known that. I just knew Brody as the name of the a town in former Poland, today, Ukraine.

H-m-m...I wasn't aware of the Jewish connections of the Brody name. I also thought it was Irish in origen.

Well…Adrien Brody is Jewish. His father, Elliot Brody, is Jewish and of Eastern European descent, and his mother is a at least technically a Jew (her mother was Jewish, although she was raised as a Catholic).

i'm half Jewish!! (meaning my mom is Protestant and my dad is a practicing Jew). When my parents were still married, one year we'd celebrate Christmas, and the next year Hannukah (so when my sister and I were old enough, we could choose which religion we wanted to follow). Sorry, it was a little OT, but i'll get better at this, I sware... Anyways, I looved the episode...I have it recorded!! I love how Goren swings that pipe at the father...it made me laugh!! And hmm, I also wondered if Brody thought Det. Goren was of Jewish decent or not...but then I saw something shiny and was distracted.... Two thumbs up for the episode!!!

Some branches of Judaism would consider you a Jew, too, loserbaby12. Some reformed Jews think that the "A Jew is somebody born to a Yiddishe mame" is because only a mother can be sure it is her child and would also accept paternal ancestry. Which religion did you finally choose?

I havent seen this show in awhile but sticks out in my mind is in the backyard of Brody's home, the way Goren took over the questioning of the neighbor, from Bishop. This was one of those scenes where you could see Goren teaching her.

This is another instance of where we get to watch Goren pick up on a person's "vibes" and adapt himself to make the bad guy slip up. I like that we have to question Goren's heritage and other personal things about him, we have very little personal information to get in the way of our perceptions. Just like Goren, we get only the information we need to solve the crime, with little else to get in the way. I also really missed Eames and started to appreciate how much she brings to the process. I never noticed her much until this epi. Poor Bishop, she never had a chance, did she?
