201
Don and Charlie investigate the murder of a judge's wife who was shot in her garage. It's unclear whether she was the intended target or her husband, who was hearing a death penalty case involving a gang leader. As the investigation continues, Don reconnects with a prosecutor whose life may also be in danger.
This episode is not interesting but I wish this episode should not start with season premiere! It should be special or exciting episode to attract audiences. But the show have two new casts: Megan and Colby. I likes Megan lot, she is more motivated and very active. I never liked Terry Lake. I am glad for Megan. This episode is bit bored because there is nothing exciting scenes to watch. Charlie should get his hair trimmed and cut hair bit more, lol! But I am really glad Numb3rs are back for second season!! Way to go! I am so happy about it!
With this episode, the second season of "Numb3rs" begins with some losses to the cast and some additions. Gone, and missed, is Sabrina Lloyd as Terry Lake. Stepping into her place are Megan Reeves and Colby Granger (played by Diane Farr and Dylan Bruno, respectively). While both have grown on me, I initially was very unhappy with the changes. Farr at times acts and sounds like a teenage girl, while Bruno seems to have been brought in for the "beefcake" action appeal. Shows have a tendency to tweak casts to add "hotter" actors and actresses, which makes me suspect this is why Farr was brought in. Her necklines start to plunge, but she manages to still convey some professionalism as an FBI agent.
Fortunately, the rest of the formula that kept the show strong in Season 1 still appears to be present. Larry is around to offer cosmic digressions, Charlie and Don's interplay is still fresh and the case provides an interesting investigation and outcome. "Numb3rs" starts a new chapter, and for the most part, it starts out on the right foot.
The new cast of characters was interesting and I think this eipsode served to try and get them into the spotlight a little with the jobs that they now have around the office. Terri has been replaced with another woman just like her, so no big difference there and we now have a brand new guy on the force who really didnt have to replace anyone...he just gave St. Clair a new partner to work with. I like the two new characters and how they were introduced.
The case was okay but nothing really speicail. There wasnt a lot of math that went into finding out who the killer(s) were. Don having dinner with the female prosecutur was interesting, as I thought Charlie would be the one that started dating first. Filler Episode, but still good
Charlie and Don are back, but this time there are a couple of new faces surrounding them. The math is toned down a bit, and the drama is turned up. hide show
What are the chances that math would be the reason all these cases get solved? Slim and none. However, television requires a certain suspension of belief. In this case, it is pretty easy not to pay too much attention to the math mumbo jumbo. The acting of the main characters and their interaction between each other is worth the admission price.
The killer here and the motive are telegraphed fairly early. However, this show is really more about the chase than the catch. The departed female lead is not missed. The new female is barely used. However, she does seem to want to be there, and that is a real plus.
This episode became too much about character development causing the plot to suffer. However, there were a few moments that made us remember why the show is great. hide show
I felt the show became too much about introdicing new characters and creating new interactions. They should've focused on the plot a little more.
Also, the math in this episode was explained a little too quickly.
Larry's character is still for me the best part of the show, and I really liked the part about his all white food and it meaning that he was obsessive. He makes me laugh everytime he opens his mouth.
