WendyCR72 October 10, 2023 Author Share October 10, 2023 One other thought about "Tuxedo Hill" that I thought of: The fiancé gets pissed at the end when she discovers that Jack Hawley sold all the stock, which was all the money that Karen Milner's parents had. Okay, fine. But I don't understand why G/E and Carver just let her leave after she outed Hawley. She did lie during the investigation. She should have been charged for obstruction of justice! Just a crumb that irks me. 2 Link to comment
WendyCR72 October 11, 2023 Author Share October 11, 2023 No matter how many times I see it, G/E playing the yuppie couple in the shoe store in "Anti-Thesis" never fails to crack me up. [Just aired on Charge!.] 4 1 Link to comment
WendyCR72 October 11, 2023 Author Share October 11, 2023 Seems the Canadian offshoot has added a bunch more cast/characters to its IMDB page. (Unsure if any are permanent cast or just guest roles.) Seems like this might be taking shape. 2 Link to comment

But it is saved by Goren literally cornering the rat boss at the end and Goren's "accounting trick" rant... I do like "Dead", which comes next, with cold as ice [and Captain Hannah twin!], Harry Rowan. It was based on Enron but Madoff wasn't a scandal until six years later (Mothership took it's cue for that one with 'Anchors Away,' featuring Jill Eikenberry and Edward Herrmann). 3 Link to comment

But given what is described here including sloppy cuts to commercial, it is probably a matter of greed/sloppiness rather than any moral qualms. The people who make the decisions about buying and selling the "content" don't actually care about anything other than the money, and if they save a few bucks by not having to pay anyone to keep track of what edits are actually being sent so much the better. So there is no actual logic to what is censored etc. - they made the cuts at some point for somebody who cared - and it was what was in the file when they sent if off. TBH I'm really surprised at this point that one of the digital subchannels or cable overnight packages hasn't broadcasted CI in a foreign language for a week or two without noticing... 2 1 Link to comment

WendyCR72 October 17, 2023 Author Share October 17, 2023 Looking up the leads, I was very surprised when I read their ages. Aden Young is 51; Kathleen Munroe is 41. I kind of like that those in charge went for older actors rather than chasing a demographic. (Comparatively, Vincent D'Onofrio was 42 when the American version began. Kathryn Erbe was 36. So their Canadian counterparts are slightly older.) Speaking of Kathleen Munroe, she is apparently Canadian, but I read she was living in Los Angeles and had been on Law & Order: Organized Crime and FBI, so at least she's familiar with how Dick Wolf shows roll! 1 2 Link to comment

And as fantastic as Vincent D'Onofrio was in "Subway" [and he WAS!], I think Kathryn Erbe was just as terrific as Rita in "All Is Bright". Nowadays, with the advancements in science, HIV is no longer necessarily fatal. But back in the late '90s? Different story, and the fact that Rita's boyfriend KNOWINGLY gave her HIV, which morphed to AIDS for her? I was sympathizing with her character, even though she did kill the scumbag. And I liked that at least one of the cops wasn't thrilled about putting her away, either. And the makeup job on her was something else. Disturbing to see, but effective. 4 Link to comment

Connie was a good villain, I love the scene where Goren provokes him into slapping him and then says “ouch” in Sound Bodies. That’s a really good episode. And it was great continuity bringing Connie back to help out from jail and help them nail scumbag Ethan Garrett in In The Wee Small Hours, which is my favorite CI episode. My only issue with Sound Bodies is how they switched the name of City Island to Channel Island - that made me laugh and distracted me, because they almost always use the real names of places, it was very obviously City Island from the location and geography, but they called it Channel Island - I wonder if someone from City Island didn’t want its real name used in the episode since poisonings and drownings took place there. Just seemed odd to me since it’s about the only time I can recall L&O changing the name of an NYC location. 3 Link to comment

But yeah they referenced many prominent real life politicians many times and still do - and Mayors Giuliani and Bloomberg appeared on the Mothership, Chuck Schumer appeared on CI, and even Joe Biden (when he was VP) appeared on SVU (and called Benson “my friend” LOL, as if Benson doesn’t get enough glory!). I guess they decided not to use the name of City Island because it had multiple murders committed by residents there, like I say I wonder if someone from there objected. 2 Link to comment

"There they go, Ocean's 2," the courtroom scene about Eames' letter, and Bobby getting the judge to spill the beans...wonderful stuff. I also loved the scene where Goren and Logan provoke Ethan into assaulting Logan when they were searching his room. And of course Arthur’s two scenes, especially when he tore up the original warrant and replaced it with one with his name on it “it’s not enough to do good, you gotta be seen doing good”. The whole 2 parter is fantastic from start to finish. 4 Link to comment

TakomaSnark November 2, 2023 Share November 2, 2023 Susan Misner is so good as Sister Olivia in Acts Of Contrition. CI is littered with great guest appearances. It's astonishing the show wasn't nominated for a single Emmy, never mind any in the acting categories. 2 2 Link to comment

Like I said before, to think the same actress played Becky the hooker, that lured Lois to her death, it showed Susan Misner did have range. And she did have the seemingly thankless role in "Family Values" in S8 as the doomed wife of Paul Devildes. CI seemed to have certain actors it enjoying employing more than once. Right now, "Cruise To Nowhere" is on. Joey Frost really was an immature tool, but then, as Goren said, that's how he was kept on the hook to keep gambling, so... The other actor later to play him in "All In" [okay, Josh Snow, but come on, we know who it was supposed to be!] played him much more world weary... 4 Link to comment
