  • Emotional and suspenseful!

    "Perfect"
    Once again, I felt that the show took another two steps forward, in this episode, by providing a really interesting case, in which The Lightman Group attempt to help get three trapped workers out from a collapsed building.

    I thought that the case was really different from anything that the show has attempted so far, and that is why it was so great. Also, I felt that the secondary case in this episode was a little different from the usual, which also added a lot to it.

    There were even a few funny moments from the episode, which the show has lacked in the past, and I felt that that was a big bonus.

    I recommend this one extremely highly, as it is a sensational and fantastic episode! Sensational!moreless

    I think this is the best episode I have seen from this show. I like the passion that Tim Roth gives his character. He did a great job analizing the people's reactions. the way he observes someone and how easy it is for him to just cut to the chase. I've never been a fan of Kelli Williams but I am becoming one. She has enough chemistry with Mr. Roth that makes me want to keep watching.
    What a sad episode, a guy who was so afraid of telling the truth about his disease that ends up making a mistake that cost his life.
    On the other case, I like how Christina and Loker give the man the best advice.moreless
  • Love this show.

    I was wondering how the connection to lying would be ichildren" n Cal and Jillian's case involving a collapsed building but as it played out it really made sense. Throughout this case there were plenty of twists and turns but from the mayor's appearance I had her nailed. But one of the things that I loved about the primary case was that the field work was very low tech and found it very creative. I was interested to see "kids" on their own with the nervous bridegroom wondering about his intended. I was actually really impressed but also puzzled. I'll be interested to see Looker's next move.moreless

    • Gillian: I thought you could use a real drink. Cal: And a bath. Gillian: Well, I can't help you with that.

    • Torres: She loves you, and your money. You're lying to yourself if you think you can separate the two. Mr. Kachini: She lied to me. Loker: Well, why are you in love with Nadia? She's charming, she's intelligent and... oh, wait for it... she's beautiful. How's her beauty any different from your money? Mr. Kachini: I don't know. Torres: Exactly. Just be honest with her. Loker: And yourself. And get a prenup.

    • (Gillian hangs up her phone and looks upset) Cal: How's your husband? Gillian: How'd you know...? Don't do that.

    • Loker: Look, I don't care if she's into him for his money, as long as she's up front about it from the beginning. Torres: Yeah, well, it's not always so easy to be open about money. Loker: I always tell women exactly how much I have in the bank on the first date. Sylvia: And you wonder why you never get a second.

    • Loker: The female hanging fly. Torres: What? Loker: The female hanging fly. She'll only mate with a male when he brings her a caterpillar as a food offering. The bigger the offering, the more time she will have intercourse with him. For insects it's food, for us it's money. She's a female hanging fly. Torres: Okay, you need to get out more.

    • Mr. Kachini: I'm about to ask my girlfriend, Nadia, to marry me. Loker: Oh, mazel tov. It's a good thing you're starting young, it took my dad five times to get it right. Affair, alcohol, green card problems, affair...
