Did you feel that?

"Perfect"

By CaptainHarkness, Oct 29, 2008

What a great way to bring back an old enemy from the very first episode. I have to say this season is getting better every episode. I had no problem with them bringing Tins back it made for a great story. Along with Tins we get to see Olivia again as she helps Ted and his pencil. He was hilarious, although I am surprised he didn't star screaming in pain as soon as he saw it. He should have a glove made. I was only dissapointed at one thing and that would be that they killed off Mark Rawls. I would have liked to see him get revenge on Tins, but sadly he didn't. Crews did for him. Then we have Reese and Tidwell kissing...I saw that one coming as soon as I saw Tidwell. Hopefully they don't make it to awkward between the characters. Tins sure did change a lot after only spending one year in prison. Just imagine if he had spent twelve like Charlie.moreless

"It is not the pencil talking!"

"It is not the pencil talking!".

Zen is back: Finally! We get some more Zen. The iPod to start with, and the scene in the car were both very good.

Ted: pencil talk! Very funny and rather well written. Have we got an angry Mr Crewes Sr on our hands for the future? I certainly hope so. Would be a good way to get a possible reconciliation.

The Car: No!!! She was so pretty!

Story: The earthquake and subsequent "did u feel that?". The evil guy was also well acted.

Tidwell: Hilarious byond measure. Both his response to the earthquake and the cutting of the wire were all nice touches.

Reese: What?
Tidwell: What!
Me: lol.moreless

"Superb"

By DryKid, Oct 25, 2008

I loved the first season of "Life" but have found the second season to be strangely lacking in something. Don't get me wrong - it's still a great show (thanks in no small part to Damian Lewis at its center) - but it just wasn't entertaining me as much as those first thirteen episodes.

This episode, however, was a return to form. We haven't seen much of Crews' Zen philosophies in the second season and so it was nice to have it featured once more (in a wonderful comic scene involving Reese and a fight for the control of a car stereo).

Jon Skarloff was a particular highlight of the episode, and I don't think the character of Tins would have been half as enjoyable without Skarloff's portrayal. The storyline involving Ted dealing with the after-effects of the earthquake were a nice distraction even though I was more interested in the main storyline.

If I had a problem with the episode, it would be with one of the final scenes involving Reese and Tidwell. I like the character of Tidwell but I find his infatuation with Reese slightly nauseating. I hope the writers don't decide to turn them into a couple.

There was no real progression with the larger storyline of Crews' imprisonment and the conspirators behind it, but I enjoyed the episode's plot so much that I didn't actually mind.

In summary then, "Did You Feel That?" was a great episode and ensures that "Life" remains the only police show I continue to watch.moreless

- Tidwell: Yeah, I guess you don't Reese: Since when do you go by the book? You don't even have a regulation hair cut. Tidwell I go by the book. I go by this book, the LAPD emergecy manual, since about a hour ago when the Earth opened up and tried to swallow Los Angeles whole. Besides we have a lot of things to do today and none of them are stopping crimes that haven't happened yet. (shaking noise) Tidwell: Oh God this is it! Hold on everyone, its the big one! (sees the noise is Crews shaking the board) That's funny, real funny.
