They're saying check out that car chase or see how tough he/she is, etc. Most viewers are not novelists. Of course, I wouldn't make any of those mistakes in my manuscript.Charlie Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15383217084337552494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421706587311875668.post-66545593928891181282012-02-16T17:54:55.784-07:002012-02-16T17:54:55.784-07:00I never really liked her character all that much, ...I never really liked her character all that much, but I agree with you that it was nice to have an additional female character on the team. I just wish she hadn't been so doe-eyed around Steve so much. (Hey, Yvonne Strahovski just finished up with Chuck. I bet she could kick some butt in Hawaii, too.) Beats having the 5 Subway Subs guy join the team officially. The one ep with him playing the bodyguard was pretty good, though.<br /><br />Whenever a TV show starts out with something traumatic and chaotic going on, we both look at each other and roll our eyes and say "2 days earlier..." It's a way to forecast how badly a day is going to go and then show you how things got that way, but it seems a little overused these days.<br /><br />I mean, Memento was a brain-twister, but I wouldn't want to watch another movie done the same way. (I wouldn't mind watching the chronological version of it, though.)Jon Spellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283068961865370674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421706587311875668.post-32602128577858555902012-02-16T15:43:43.695-07:002012-02-16T15:43:43.695-07:00I tend to dislike flashbacks immensely.

I think that would be awesome with highlighting the gray areas of the cases, but maybe that's what Lori was supposed to do. <br /><br />I am sad her character is gone because I think there was a lot of potential there and they made her leave in such a lame way. "I didn't do my job because I have feelings for you." Really? How demeaning for women. What were the writers thinking with that one? Ouch. I also thought having another female sort of balanced the team out a bit. Not that I don't like the core four, but I thought Lori could have been a nice addition.<br /><br />What about you? What did you think?Julie Coulter Bellonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695605817809301518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421706587311875668.post-25076933893093057192012-02-16T14:01:30.003-07:002012-02-16T14:01:30.003-07:00And then he comes out of the surgery with 2 smalli...And then he comes out of the surgery with 2 smallish gauze bandages on his head. (After getting hit by a car.) <br /><br />My favorite part of the episode was the Governor helping Chin out. So deadpan. <br /><br />And Kono's party dress! Yowza, they should let her dress up more often!<br /><br />Are you sad to see what's-her-name go?Jon Spellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283068961865370674noreply@blogger.com
