Why kids touch Horatio's heart

9.4

By JPPT1974, Apr 04, 2006

Another reason why Horatio loves kids

As he tries to protect a little boy

Who sees his parents gunned down in front of him

He is so afraid to testify that the murderers will come and get him

But Horatio swears on his heart to protect him

The creep murderer then acts as his own lawyer

And I will admit that he had me fooled a bit

But he appeared as smarter as he seemed to be

Tried to not let the boy testify

Well-done for Horatio & the team

For putting the murderer away!moreless

Horatio to the rescue once again as a Kid is in need of rescuing!

8.3

By warnie334, Aug 10, 2005

An interesting episode this, one I am still not certain about 24 hours after watching it! I thought the story had too many holes in it and some points made absolutely no sense at all. Horatio protects another child in the episode following the murder of his mother at a fashion label’s water front party. Champagne glasses and bullets fly as an ex con opens fire on the party with the sole intent of killing a number of party goers.

You have to laugh at the way Horatio talks to the children he comes up against, he seems to change his persona and only has one thing on his mind, to make sure the kid is safe and the murderer brought to justice. With the death of Speedle in last week’s episode, you’d be forgiven in thinking a reference however small would have been made but it appears he and his character have been thrown to the great crocodiles in the everglades and will never more be mentioned!

IAB detective is once again involved, this time giving us a timely reminder about his relationship with Horatio’s sister in law, much to Horatio’s disappointment and anger. Why on earth did he not put the kid in a well guarded safe house? The whole “leaked information” on the whereabouts of the kid didn’t sit right either. Come on, the blonde court clerk looking after the main con couldn’t fight her way out of a wet paper bag but somehow put two and two together when she overheard a conversation regarding an addition witness (the kid).

I did have to laugh at the con defending himself after spending three years in the prison law library!!! He did a good job but he was aided my manipulation of some of the other main characters! Why wasn’t the blood tested on the shirt when it was found rather than 50 minutes into the programme?!

All in all, worth viewing but not one of the best episodes I’’ve had the pleasure to watch.

Haratio saves another boy

7.2

By tvrev, Aug 10, 2005

What is it with Haratio and little boys? , last week episoide he rescued a little boy from crododiles and this week he kind of protects a boy from being killed after he witness the person who was shooting at people , what i found intresting is that the boy survived, that was pure luck. Still you got love the fact they said drive-by shooting Miami style, i didn't know each states had style?.

Don't you love when bad guy think they so smart they can defend themselves in court?, i just knew at the end he would get caught, not matter how fancy his suit at the end of day he is a criminal, he's quite smart guy but it shame he doesn't know how to control a machine gun, techinically all he had to do keep the gun in one position while driver drive by, the fact he moved it from side-to-side caused him to accidental kill the driver. That was a stupid mistake.

Haratio face when he saw Yasmin new man was priceless, he really needs to get over it, if she can move on with her life so should he.
