Eolivet January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 Hadn't seen "The Gift" in years, but I found it pretty strong on rewatch. I like the layer of humanity they added to Julian (Bobby Cannavale, full of sleazy charm), agreeing to a plea if Sylvia would get help. I also enjoyed how I went from thinking Sylvia was horrible for manipulating Susan (?) to really feeling for her at the end. And wow, the image of a mother leaving the trunk of the car open because her adult son is afraid of the dark, even in death, is quite powerful. I liked how the episode played against type in a couple of respects: the sleazy "priest" actually cared about his sick protege and the sleazy husband wasn't actually having an affair. Really good writing. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142617-season-three-bobby-saddled-with-a-temporary-partner/page/2/#findComment-717576

Eolivet January 14, 2015 Share January 14, 2015 I don't know if Ion skipped these early S3 episodes or I just missed them on rewatch, but they're really strong. "But Not Forgotten" is another twisty one. Alicia Coppola is brilliant -- that whole scene at the end with her and her dirty cop husband as the sweet veneer falls away and we realize she knew all along about her first husband's criminal activities. For a while, the ep was looking just like that super creepy Mothership episode where the woman marries her stalker (who killed her first husband in an accident in Central Park). But the fact that Isobel wasn't entirely in the dark just elevated this episode. Fantastic denouement. I'm still a little fuzzy on what actually happened (mob cases always trip me up), but I do know is it was an extremely compelling story. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142617-season-three-bobby-saddled-with-a-temporary-partner/page/2/#findComment-723688
WendyCR72 January 14, 2015 Author Share January 14, 2015 Oh, Alicia Coppola was great, I agree, @Eolivet! (And for the record, ion skipped a LOT of S2 and most of S3 [started with the Bishop stuff there] a couple weeks ago. Maybe it had something to do with the move to Friday, although I've no idea why.) But yeah..."But Not Forgotten" was cool. The "played" wife playing her dirty cop hubby all along was a brilliant move. To answer your question, though, all I recall was the first hubby was a hitman who was (per the wife) trying to get out.

Eolivet January 14, 2015 Share January 14, 2015 Yeah, I figured as much -- either he killed Hubby #1 to have Isobel or on orders from the mob because Hubby #1 screwed up and killed the wrong lawyer who spoke out against the mob boss? But why Earl/Hubby #2 killed Freida is still fuzzy to me...because she was looking into Hubby #1's bad tax returns? I still don't see how Freida would've found out anything about Hubby #2 from that, or why Freida would've been a threat to him or why the non-existent companies would implicate him somehow. But I had to watch "The Torrents of Greed" seven times (I counted) on the Mothership before I got all the connections. And how the Chinese baby figured into it was a head-scratcher for me, as well.

Donny Ketchum January 14, 2015 Share January 14, 2015 I watched "Stray," and I'm still scratching my head as to how the guy got the death penalty, but not Tamara, who was basically the one who set all of the murders in motion. She should've been just as accountable. Was it because she didn't actually touch the people who were killed? Also, even after watching her episodes all the way through again, I'm sorry, @WendyCR72, but I still don't see the alleged "being annoying" of Bishop. I mean, yeah, Samantha was definitely a bit stiff for her first couple of episodes, but I could definitely see her start to relax in her last few and come off at least a bit more natural. By the end, I could not only see that she'd gotten comfortable with Vincent, but that Bishop had gotten comfortable with Goren, and even he with her. I still was happy to see Eames come back, though I'm a bit confused as to how Kathryn came back so quickly when I'm almost positive that she should've gone on maternity leave.

Eolivet January 15, 2015 Share January 15, 2015 Wow, "Pravda" - another one I hadn't seen for a while. The writing for early season 3 was just so subtle and powerful. The scene with Bobby and Roy (Carl's dad) about Willie Mays and what an angry person he was...gave me chills. It was subtle, but it just made me remember something was off. And that wordless scene with Bobby examining the light and the closet and looking at the chair and getting down on his knees to look at the floor...and having it all come together in another incredible denouement was so compelling! I have no idea how they managed to break the first rule of writing so completely ("show, don't tell") as Bobby narrated the murder-suicide plot -- maybe it was the looks on Carl and Roy's faces, and the subtle shifting in both actors' expressions. It was just SO good. When Judd Hirsch becomes somewhat of an also-ran, that's saying something. And "How could you?" "How could you?" Chills, I tell you. Seriously great episode (even if I don't entirely get why it was named for the state paper in Russia). 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142617-season-three-bobby-saddled-with-a-temporary-partner/page/2/#findComment-727259
Eolivet January 17, 2015 Share January 17, 2015 Another S3 episode I missed or only caught a little of the first time around: "Happy Family." My goodness, I don't know whether it was because they wrote these episodes with a much bigger Goren part to account for viewers' lack of familiarity with Bishop, but they're downright operatic. Another fantastic confrontation scene at the end -- another case with lots of twists and turns (slight points off for the viewers never actually hearing the victim tell the kids he was going to send them back to the orphanage). The sequence where the nanny convinces the older brother to empty his pockets was quite powerful...wow. Strong performances, very little stunt casting, lots of twists and turns (but not too many) -- the first half of S3 really put on a clinic in great storytelling. It was also interesting to see Goren try to play "the boss" or be in a more "senior" role.

Eolivet January 19, 2015 Share January 19, 2015 (edited) Finally watched the entire "Pas de Deux," which I always confused with "Folie a Deux" and kept wondering how this woman robbed banks while looking for her kidnapped daughter... That's so eerie about the actor playing the suicidal guy committing suicide himself, like when they cast Griffin Dunne as a guy who strangled all those women and his sister had been strangled in real life? A little too much life imitating art, or vice-versa. Overall, it was a good ep, but I really dislike the whole "and now here's a piece of information you never knew that totally turns the whole case!" with Donny's green tea and trips to the bathroom...it just seemed a little convenient. I much prefer piecing together odd pieces of physical evidence as opposed to "the startling 11th hour deduction!", both starring Bobby Goren. However, I enjoyed the return of Bobby's dance moves (unseen since "Jones"!) and the choreography of the interrogation room scene where he "danced" with Donny.

Also felt kind of badly for him at the end of "Mad Hops" right after, when he told Bishop that he lost his love of basketball because he didn't get what he wanted/needed (i.e. his father [the guy who he thought was his dad, anyway] to take an interest in him). While I was glad to have Eames back, it's funny how no one mentioned Bishop at all in those first few episodes upon Eames' return. Just...one episode was Bishop...the next is Eames.

cooksdelight August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 "Pas de Deux" was on WE today. I didn't know it was Charles Rocket's last role. He played Johnny, the cancer-riddled bank robber mastermind. He was found dead in a field near his Connecticut home on October 7, 2005, his throat had been cut. He was 56 years old. The state medical examiner later ruled the death a suicide. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142617-season-three-bobby-saddled-with-a-temporary-partner/page/2/#findComment-1457423
Spartan Girl August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 How eerily ironic... I still cannot stand that idiot ninnybitch Margie. I still can't believe that when Goren asked her why she left her husband to be a criminal, she had the gall to say "That's between me and my husband" after she left him and kids without so much as a note. It ain't between the two of you when he has no idea what's going on, lady! 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142617-season-three-bobby-saddled-with-a-temporary-partner/page/2/#findComment-1457715

Makes him look like a bonafide wimp. Maybe they deserved each other. Makes me wonder how their own kid turned out! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142617-season-three-bobby-saddled-with-a-temporary-partner/page/2/#findComment-1458323
Spartan Girl August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 Well, since we all like to imagine that the wife of the douchebag that basically let landsharks kidnap her and their daughters took the kids and left him, maybe we can imagine that Margie's husband kicked her ass to the curb once the dust settled. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142617-season-three-bobby-saddled-with-a-temporary-partner/page/2/#findComment-1458655
cooksdelight August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 Margie's husband struck me as Mr. Milquetoast, and I doubt he changed. It's why she was so bored, depressed and empty. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142617-season-three-bobby-saddled-with-a-temporary-partner/page/2/#findComment-1458660
Donny Ketchum August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 (edited) I always just assumed that her husband (was he ever even seen in that episode, at any point?) sympathized with her or at least rationalized her actions as being brainwashed by the guy (and when you think about it, she kind of was), and that was why he was willing to forgive her.

cooksdelight August 30, 2015 Share August 30, 2015 Yes, he was in the episode. Goren and Eames first met him at his office, and asked him about the purse she was carrying, among other questions, about her dance classes (which he scoffed at, said she'd never do something like that). Later, they came to the home and searched through their bedroom, finding the brochures for Mexico and that she'd taken her suitcase. The husband said she told him she'd bought the purse at a church yard sale. Then they searched the van and found the chemicals, asking the husband if his wife gambled (the rolls of quarters in the console) or if they had a cat (the ammonia smell). He was a balding beige-looking guy. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142617-season-three-bobby-saddled-with-a-temporary-partner/page/2/#findComment-1460659

He was a balding beige-looking guy. Yeah. He seemed too willing to explain everything away. He did seem dismissive of Margie, but he was very bland character wise. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/142617-season-three-bobby-saddled-with-a-temporary-partner/page/2/#findComment-1462921
