I tried to watch it, honestly, I tried. The jerky camera work had me averting my eyes so much, that it was basically an audio-only show.
It's the 21st century, and we have pristine HDTV. But somebody has persuaded the industry that shaky cam, jump cuts, and jitter is "Dramatic".
Let me disabuse that notion. It is NOT ENTERTAINING.
I cannot recommend this show, its director, camera work, or editing.
I watch shows to be entertained, not annoyed. This episode could have been enjoyable, if it was visually better.
I know we can't blame the cameras because STEADY CAM would not deliberately jerk the image. It takes a real professional to foul up the image.
Bad TV.

AIRED:
A radio talk show host holds a politician hostage at gun point live on the air and threatens to kill him if he does not admit that he killed someone while driving drunk.

Spike: CJV Electronics. CJV was busted a couple of years ago. They were selling pirated operating systems.
Sam: How do you know that?
Spike: I know because I'm a highly-trained officer on the cutting edge of twenty-first century investigation.
Sam: I thought it was because you're a geek.
Ed: He's not a geek, okay? He's a geek with combat skills, that's why the ladies love him. -
