Jordan is blatantly set up. Her reporter boyfriend has been killed and she is the only suspect. oh yeah, and the story he was writing is ignored by everyone else...but may just lead to the real killermoreless

And this is why people stop watching shows...

you know when writers have an idea about a quirky little show with a tight plot and near fixed set of seasonal variables? and then the writers get worried coz they've lasted two more years than ever expected and suddenly they lose all confidence in their own idea and try to change the show into a generic rip off?

this is what this episode is. Jordan is blatantly set up. instead of being a coroner, half way decent girlfriend/friend/co-worker, she decides to become wunder-cop

she starts running around causing trouble and getting herself into lots of stupid scenarios which all seem to reveal her guilt...

yawn, the rest of the cast barely do anything but discuss how the rational and highly stable Jordan they know would never do such a thing...and how determinded they are to help her.

Oh, and woody's in it...but we are only meant to see friend/cop woody not potential love interest woody otherwise it looks a bit sleazy.

honestly, i used to love this show...moreless

How many times is Jordan going to get accused of murder?

6.8

By angelspinknose, Jan 25, 2011

And how many more times is the office going to be in trouble? This show is getting very very close to jumping the shark. Let's bring in yet another person to screw up the office and cause havoc. This show needs to end this season. No more Jordan, Garrett, and Bud.

My first on Crossing Jordan

8.0

By diecaro, Mar 01, 2007

So, this is going to be my first review on this quite good show. I've never watch it in English, just randomly in the German version, so Jordan's original voice kinda irritated me, it's a lit higher over here.

Anyway, I needed to download this episode, cause I could no longer wait - after season 5's cliffhanger I really needed to know what happened. Although it was fairly predictable that Jordan OF COURSE wasn't guilty, but someone set her up. But I enjoyed watching the others solving the case with her and breaking all imaginable rules for her. I like it when they all stick together - especially when Woody's on board. I feel a new romance arc for them coming, maybe they'll make it this time? Well, I don't know their complete story, but I'll be following it as soon as season 6 comes to Germany.moreless

Great, but not QUITE living up to my expectations, until the end, that is.

9.3

By eleanag, Jan 16, 2007

I don\'t know what I was expecting, but I was left saying \"So that was it?\" after the first 45 minutes.

That said there were some WONDERFUL scenes. The staging and editing of the traditional game sequence was almost perfect. Each scenario was plausible, yet all were not quite on the money which in my book is a good thing. I would have liked to know what the argument between Jordan and JD was about, but I understand the symbolism of it and can appreciate why it remained a mystery. The lone gunman bothered me a little. It was almost TOO easy. There wasn\'t really any mystery at all. I felt a little ripped off by it. But once again I understand why and appreciate that the writers wanted to closure for this storyline (I wonder if its because the whole plot-line, which could have been amazing, was twisted so poorly that it sunk like the Titanic and they just wanted to put the whole thing in the past and call a Mulligan, but that\'s just MHO).

Any and all misgivings I had were taken away in the last two minutes of the episode. When Jordan went to view the body I lost it! The picture-booth pictures were...perfect. You could almost picture them out and about, being silly and in love, stopping by a photo booth just for S&Gs and in the end she did the traditional \"sweetheart split\", giving him half and keeping the other. How perfect was that? It reminded my why I love this show in the first place. (I just wish we could have seen some of that chemistry between the LIVE JD and Jordan last season. I might have liked him better)moreless
