Interesting plot makes this one to see

9.0

By AvatarBlue, Jun 07, 2008

With well rounded characters acted by sincere actors, this episode stands out from a [so far] poor season for this great show.

Its been a while but the plot engaged me enough to be really interested in what happened. Danny and the rest of the DAs office for once since the last season made me feel compassion for those involved. Something thats been sadly lacking. Maybe it was because I was able to find some relation to the subject matter, were as for the last few episodes that hasnt been the case.

Locations are well chosen providing a less glamourous edge to life in LA - good. Yet in some connecting collages between scenes remind me of CSI-Miami's intentions to jazz up their flagging show. Not a good sign. The show had a lots of dramatic scenes between key characters and the ones particularly with the student were some of the best on this show.

Just to few of Stark - please we need more of his gritty straight talking to your face, as he did with Danny, the major and the actual killers father and lawyer!

The case plot was also well constructed and does a good job of staging the platform for the characters to convince us of the nature of the crime and the pain of the victims.

A good story. Lets hope there are more to come.moreless

Pretty good episode that deals once again with the troubled lives of teens/college students.

8.4

By tsar_luke30, Nov 14, 2007

I thought this was a pretty good episode. It was a little different from the episodes we have had in the past since one of the prosecutors(Danny) got really involved with one of the suspects/victims, in a way.

I like how they didn't make the troubled/commits suicide but saved in the knick of time teen the one who bombed the school. I thought it was for sure him for a while. That one rich kid was such a jerk you just wanted to jump into the TV and punch him in the face. We got to see a more presentable side of Danny. Not the side where it's only a matter of time before he is disbarred. Overall not a too bad episode in my opinion.moreless

True criminal revealed!

8.0

By JPPT1974, Oct 31, 2007

Very revealing episode as again you have to love Shark and his nasty sense but in a good kind of way, humor. While he is tracking down both a bomber and a killer as a co-ed female is murdered. Shark never lets down as well as is very no-nonsense as the true criminal is rvealed. Danny gets seduced by all of this. And he almost is done in by it. Meanwhile, Shark and his ex despite being separated seemed to want to get together. But you know that won't happen at all. But both at least, will be there for their daughter thick and thin!moreless

This was a very interesting and enjoyable episode with a few character revelations too boot. The case was interesting trying to find a mad bomber. Unfortunately there was only one bombing but the suspect and the true criminal reveled was great. Reyes takes the suspect under his wing whom proves to be innocent and breaks him out of the hot head only role. Then he even did some legal wrangling on par with what Stark does. Then we have Julie deciding to try to curb her boyfriends drug and alcohol use. To our amazement she managed to do something that didn't make us hate her. Too bad about Stark and ex I was hoping they would form a family but guess we have a clear path to Devilin shipping now.moreless

  In the 1995 movie Apollo 13, Flight Director Gene Kranz (Ed Harris) tells the Mission Control team, "We've never lost an American in space, we're sure as hell not gonna lose one on my watch. Failure is not an option." The real Gene Kranz liked this line and used it as the title of his 2000 autobiography.
