Meh

7.5

By The-A-Man, Jan 04, 2009

Meh

What a load of tosh this one was. Seems like the writers lost the plot and then some more.

The story: was poor and beyond recognition to some of the gems served up in previous offerings. The criminals really were not believable and I found myself caring less and less for them all. Uninspired to say the least.

"Only one saint": Tidwell does wonderfully once again. He is larger than life and a truly intriguing character. More screen time for this one, please.

Teddy bear: all of his appearances propped up a terrible story. More please.

Raybourne: "Wanna leave behind the blood, but you can't. Wanna leave behind the revenge, but you can't". I really like this man. Keep him alive for as long as possible.

Nevikov: FINALLY! He was truly awesome in the first season, and this is no different. A well-built and menacing baddie with truckloads of style.

The museum scene raid was surreal in a good way.

Overall, this one was let down by an awful crime story. The rest of the characters did well to hold it all together, but given how much more is left to be covered, they really should have done better.moreless

Weird murder museum, cordon bleu evil FBI man, Ted framed and more on the main mystery.

9.0

By hrgaffney, Dec 17, 2008

This was another good episode of Life which moved the main story on another degree and had an interesting plot about a gruesome museum of murder, a man surrounded by petals and a tale of a murderer from the early 70s. There were some classic moments like the evil FBI man in Crews' kitchen cooking a meal as Charlie walks into his own house. Poor love lorn Ted got framed and Charlie is going to have to get him out of that one fast. There weren't enough Dani and Tidwell moments for my liking but basically this was another fine episode.moreless
