Don't think these have been posted yet. Press Releases for both "Grounds for Deception" and "Pay Up".
Noted that there are no other writers listed with Melina. I guess I woulda assumed she'd be collaborating rather than penning the whole thing? Wow.
Also noticed that the guy directing Melina's ep also did Snow Day, What You See, and a coupla other eps. I'm very much looking forward to it.
As for the finale, I'm happy to see Nelly back as Terence Davis, though also curious, because of the lapse in time since we last saw him, the fact that there was a character very similar to him. Was he always on the whole 3-ep arc, same as others? I only recall seeing him in two other eps.
Also curious about the listing of a 'Sniper' cast, and wonder if this ties into the cliffhanger aspect, seeing as Angell apparently gets shot inside the restaurant. Not saying a sniper couldn't/wouldn't do that, but I just kinda associate "sniper" with 'outdoor long distance...'
It will be an intense week of CSI-viewings.
Something is just really fishy with all of these on-set videos. I was just on the set of the original CSI recently, and I'm pretty damn sure (and Top can confirm this) that filming of that kind would not be allowed by the normal civilian. The closest thing I got to do was take photos of me with cast members and writers. No video is allowed, and photos of the episode (spoiler-like) are not allowed.
I'm thinking a production member is doing this, and trying to throw us off.
.... But still, that person was right up near the film monitors with a camera, and not a single crew member did anything about it. While filming on a street has higher chances of having onlookers, I doubt that they could get that close without someone saying something.
It very much seemed like the person shooting the clips had permission to be there, and in some places seemed to have a handler or guide pointing people and things out, almost like a tour, and one person even waved at and acknlowdeged the cameraperson midsentence while talking about something else. PA or guest or whoever, I got not clue who would be allowed on set
with a camera in hand, but again, nothing new or particularly revealing seemed to be included for all that.
If the finale airs and Angell doesn't die, nothing matches the original spoilers and Aiden is working for the Men in Black - I'll send TPTB flowers for the hard work they put into throwing us off. Otherwise, I'm just not convinced.
:guffaw:
Somehow I like the idea that Aiden's working for MIB.
This greatly amuses me. Fed. All along..
Given that Angell is supposed to die in the first 10 minutes, it's possible that TPTB feel that it's not the 'big' storyline of the episode, and therefore it's not as important to conceal what's happening. Maybe they feel that by letting out all the spoilers for Angell's death, it'll be easier to control the ones relating to the cliffhanger.
That sounds very plausible, gotta agree. In a way, having the Death in the first ten minutes of a two-part episode does obviously feel like the cliffhanger's what they deem important, but in a way it almost cheapens the death in the first place. I hope the continuity of it for S6 is handled well, so it doesn't just feel like a way to set everything in motion only to be forgotten about or minimalized later.
The synopsis vid felt predictably CBS, if that makes sense, but still curious for what it omitted as much as for what it ultimately included and focused on. As for the bugdet problems, I guess that's a fair focus seeing as Dunbrook wrote a cheque for $20million and features in the finale. I'll hafta watch it again. Were the eps highlighted mostly character-centric ones? Mebbe eps where people were called into question, who is accountable for what events and choices and to what standards? I guess I shouldn't hope for CBS to be so deeply themed in putting such a thing together :lol:
