WendyCR72 December 7, 2014 Share December 7, 2014 I noticed last night that the last episode with the Lily Carmichael bored little rich girl/Paris Hilton/Kim Kardashian (but more the former here as Paris was big in the early 2000s!) wannabe with the crooked FBI agent - "The Insider" (thank you, TV Guide) - the line where Bobby told the FBI guy that he used Lily and that "pisses [him] off" wasn't bleeped or stricken. Ion seemed to be arbitrary as far as editing. And CI liked its bored rich girls with Daddy issues, what with S8's "Salome In Manhattan" actually making Paris/Kim Kardashian clone #2 the victim. The actress playing Lily was familiar to me, and I've no idea why. I do know one of the suspects questioned, the guy with the knife, was Eric Millegan, who went on to co-star on Bones for three seasons as Zack Addy.

I can't even imagine how many hours of SVU run in an average week. CI and original recipe are a bit harder to find for franchise devotees. Here is the syndication ratings page. The next bunch is delayed because of the holidays, but it usually comes out on Tuesdays. SVU is also in the Top 25, but I was surprised to see, at least with these ratings, CI is higher. But the whole franchise seems to print money, so... Ironically, I think the Mothership in terms of syndication is a hard one to find unless you have upper tier channels. It's now only on TNT at odd hours or We for the "regular" channels.

Eolivet December 29, 2014 Share December 29, 2014 (edited) I agree that we're not supposed to feel sorry for Terry Randolph. But to me, a great villain is one that makes you believe that they believe what they are doing is right -- as most criminals feel justified for committing their crimes (and aren't just homicidal maniacs). With Davis' portrayal, I believed that she believed her "ends justify the means" killings was purely out of the desire to help her kids. You could just see how she compartmentalized. Planning murders with the same fervor as she told her daughters to eat their vegetables. That's a good script, elevated by a command performance, IMO. Contrast Davis' performance with the much weaker "trailer park mom" wanting her son to get into a good preschool from "Please Note..." or the dad from "Bright Boy" in season 2. All "I did it for my kid!" characters with similar motivations (killing to improve their child's life). But I found the mom from "Please Note.." and the dad from "Bright Boy" insufferable bratty children themselves, while I understood Terry Randolph. That's great acting, to me. That was all Viola Davis. Edited December 29, 2014 by Eolivet 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6382-season-one-law-order-goes-cerebral/page/3/#findComment-683293

WendyCR72 January 1, 2015 Share January 1, 2015 About Michael Emerson in "Phantom", there was an inquest into his father-in-law's death, if I recall. I think that was mentioned, and he had handled his in-laws' finances, as well. I think it was heavily implied that he had something to do with his FIL's demise as it was said that he was alone with his FIL when the "accidental fall" happened. So I do think he killed his FIL as well as Frank Caspari. Cookie/Charlotte didn't die but was in a long-term coma, so maybe close enough. On another note, I do think "Badge" was as creepy and affecting as "Indifference" on the Mothership. Creepy for different reasons and both disturbing, but both episodes were haunting.

She used the money she got from killing her husband (from the lawsuit) as payment for a franchise contract to sell baby clothes. So, basically. Still, yeah, she was COLD to the bone, not even speaking up for her accused mom until the scandal affected HER plans. (Due to the morals clause in the contract and her mother adversely affecting her chances and with the threat of having the contract terminated.) And the fact that she clawed at the register counter, trying to hold on and shouting, "No!" as G/E arrested her would be comical if it wasn't so utterly disturbing. Funny that her hubby was named Lenny, especially since Briscoe popped up here. As I said to @Donny Ketchum, I also believe the actress playing Trudy in "Poison" was the same actress who appeared in "Endgame" in S6 as a still-living victim of Mark Ford Brady, the woman who spoke to Eames when Goren left to get the woman's picture taken off of the website. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6382-season-one-law-order-goes-cerebral/page/3/#findComment-870539

His law-breaking greed caused his family to be kidnapped and his daughter to be raped. I was practically cheering when his wife shut down his "protective dad" routine that tried to stop Goren and Eames from questioning Maggie. I hope she divorced him and took the girls. What a spineless creep. Oh, yes. This. So much. I mean, sure, his father was a bastard to him, but I sort of got his point, even being so cold: His son was basically worthless. And it sickened me when his own mother-in-law, even after all of this, talked about how Lucas' dad never cut him a break. Hello! Screw him. What about what happened to YOUR daughter and grandchildren? Like you, I hope Coulter's wife left him in the dust when all was said and done. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6382-season-one-law-order-goes-cerebral/page/3/#findComment-919720
WendyCR72 March 18, 2015 Share March 18, 2015 So, MyNetwork is now on to "Semi-Professional" and "Seizure" tonight. I'm curious to see if the "he pissed his pants" line Goren reads to Arnie/Artie will be left in since ION, for whatever reason, deleted it. And I appreciated Deakins standing up for his detectives to Carver regarding Judge Blakemore.

WendyCR72 March 18, 2015 Share March 18, 2015 So, and it sounded like an obvious edit, even as it was VDO's voice: "Pissed his pants" on MyNetwork was changed to "he wet himself". Weird how each channel has different edits. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6382-season-one-law-order-goes-cerebral/page/3/#findComment-937189
WendyCR72 March 23, 2015 Share March 23, 2015 MyNetwork is showing "Phantom" and "Yesterday" this Tuesday. As much as I like the former, the more I think about it, those poor kids probably should have been dead what with all the time spent with the perp's wife trying to call the guy. He had the gun and the kidswere knocked out. But hey, dramatic license, I guess. Right? Always fun to see G/E playing with poor ill-fated Cookie Caspari, though. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6382-season-one-law-order-goes-cerebral/page/3/#findComment-955684
WendyCR72 March 25, 2015 Share March 25, 2015 Ah, the scene where G/E toy with Cookie is on. Love the little cat-and-mouse game. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6382-season-one-law-order-goes-cerebral/page/3/#findComment-962855
WendyCR72 March 25, 2015 Share March 25, 2015 So Yesterday is on, the one from the murder in 1983. And it just hit me that the guy, Ricky, was trying to get info on the creepy college pal via a pay phone. I forgot that. I thought everyone had cell phones by the early 2000s.

Maherjunkie March 26, 2015 Share March 26, 2015 I think you mean Yesterday. I too love Phantom, but I think Cookie buys the farm. Hard to believe the mother is the victim in Silence of the Lambs.
