WendyCR72 October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 We got a whopping three votes in the poll; two for an all season episode thread, one for the indivdual threads. However, a point was made that activity may pick up with Chicago Fire returning this Tuesday. So, what I'll do is put up the individual episode synopsis below for this week's episode. If the activity level doesn't pick up with this one, I'll use the All Seasons Thread method. Thanks. Without further ado: While Platt tries to manage a chaotic desk area, a man struggling to get her attention takes a drastic action and demands that the unit find his missing daughter. Commander Fischer informs Voight that Bunny is bringing up new accusations on a case from his past. Lindsay urges her mother to fix the situation. Antonio is shocked to learn a secret Olinksy has been keeping. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32860-s03e03-actual-physical-violence/

MissLucas October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 Excellent episode. Mouse got to be a freaking badass not once but twice. We got some hints about Halsteads's back-story. And annoying teenage girl turned a lot less annoying around Antonio. The Olinsky dinner scene was painful to watch but well acted. Plus we got a good cliffhanger (bonus surprise that everybody got away from the car - didn't expect that). 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32860-s03e03-actual-physical-violence/#findComment-1607427
Chas411 October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 Great episode although how could Voight tell there was a bomb? Glad to see Justin back but there's something about him that I still don't trust. Olinsky family dinner was mortifying. Worst part about it was that I didn't get the impression he cared that much about his wife's reaction just moreso Lexi. I gotta say in that moment I liked him a little less. Still though, it's out there now and I've a feeling his other daughter will be living with them in no time. I have to say the crossovers are starting to feel really natural. The appearances of Will and Platt (who's character name I can't remember) have me excited for Chicago Med. The guy who played Jeff was great in the episode. I recognize the actor from Gotham where he played a dirty cop. Great episode for Mouse and glad to get a bit of development with Jay as well.

Happy Harpy October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 This season is a lackluster so far for me, since most of the characters I love or like are taking a backseat. But it seems that Voight will be back as a focus so I might get more interested. I liked Mouse, now I love him. I hate that Olinsky's family is falling apart. I'm so tired of the uninterrupted Chicago Med advertisement and of the Halstead brothers. The only thing they really got right for me this season, for now, is Bunny as the villain you love to hate. I was wrong to call her a toilet brush. It was too nice. Once again, kudos to Markie Post because she plays it perfectly. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32860-s03e03-actual-physical-violence/#findComment-1607635
scarynikki12 October 15, 2015 Share October 15, 2015 I didn't get the impression he cared that much about his wife's reaction I got the impression that he'd already resigned himself to her reaction.

I think he'll try to save the marriage but understands that this may be the dealbreaker and has accepted it. I thought it was dumb & disrespectful to his wife to make the announcement at the dinner table like some vaguely interesting piece of family news. Why wouldn't he have a private conversation with his wife first and then figure out how to talk to their daughter together (which by that time would also presumably include a decision whether he was to be banished to the garage again)? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32860-s03e03-actual-physical-violence/#findComment-1607989
Mars477 October 16, 2015 Share October 16, 2015 Honestly I can't stand Voight the cop as Oh So Badass Jon Burge stand-in. I'm glad he's been pushed, if not to the rear, then closer to the middle of the pack. If it's any consolation it looks like he'll be back to his brutish "I'm so cool I only need one hand to hold my gun" thuggery next week.

MakeMeLaugh October 16, 2015 Share October 16, 2015 Loved it. Michael McDonald as overall boss, so good. Mouse, omg--overpowering the desperate Dad (and Jay's "what took you so long?" To him!) secretly taking out the bullets. Trudy, in charge, impossible to read, so serious. Erin, so sincere with kidnap victim plus perfect makeup in the dramatic el car scene. Markie Post: she defines selfish and despicable without any redeeming qualities--love an actor atretching herself so convincingly. Yes we watch too much TV here in the MML household, but on a latenight Murder She Wrote last night, there was a young Jason Beghe, identifiable by his head movements but not yet whisper talking. And Josh Segarra! I thought he came back just to be killed off but apparently not? He will always be the Sirens-stealing Billy to me. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32860-s03e03-actual-physical-violence/#findComment-1608313

Wikipedia says the whisper talk is just his voice after an incident with a breathing tube. Mouse is everything. EVERYTHING. He's almost slight, and as the hacker, it's very easy to forget how he and Halstead know each other. He played it so smoothly you know he's used to guns and confrontation...gosh. I adore him.

SnarkySheep October 20, 2015 Share October 20, 2015 Maybe we're supposed to assume it happened off camera...but did Olinsky actually ask for a paternity test?

I think out of respect for his wife in front of their teenage daughter he could have told her in private first so that way she could have had time to get her head around it. He betrayed them both by lying but he betrayed his wife also by cheating. Blurting it out in front of their daughter was just cold though.
