*ducts the flying stuff* I liked the ep, though the case was kind of whacked really, in the overall I am not saying it was the best ep, shows have their good and bad, but I wouldn't necessairly say it was all bad.
Take Ryan freezing up, just because he was a patrol cop doesn't mean he won't freeze, heck there are real cops that would tell you at some point in their lives for no apparent reason they just froze, and really didn't have a clear reason why.
Personally I liked the conversation between M and H at the end of the ep, if we didn't know about the pregnancy plan that has been put out, one might take that as H just giving M, hope/faith that illness doesn't mean your already dead.
But since we all know about that *Shrug* everyone has their opinion on it.
While I disagree with the putting down (which is how I took some opinions sorry if I am wrong) of what she had to say
Marisol: You know...it's funny, I've been fighting this stupid cancer, and I don't know, I guess I never really thought about things.
Horatio: Like what things?
Marisol: Like what I'd be missing. This morning that woman...she was shot right in front of me. Sometimes I think I've been trying so hard not to die, that I forget to live. There's so much I've never done..
There are alot of people out there who are and are not sick who wonder this, but for those who are dying (though we all will die sometimes) it becomes alot more into focus, and a need to be done.
As to her house, okay so what was she doing before the cancer diagnosis? could it be she had plenty of money maybe paid it off, granted eric went broke trying to help her, but what gets me is how often did eric stay on someones couch, when it is apparent his sister had a house big enough he could have stayed?
The "I will go to the hospital, I need you here at the scene", I don't think it was H's way of keeping eric from M so much as eric is the type that when upset he needs to work, to work through it, and lets face it boss or not he didn't object to it, and before anyone says well he was ordered to stay, when has that stopped any of them from saying "whatever I am going". Eric didn't do that, he went on to work.
Like I said while I didn't really get into the case so much I personally liked the overal in certain senses. As to M looking to damn healthy, I won't go there.
Disclaimer: I respect everyones opinion and there are some I do not agree with as I am sure there are some who will disagree with mine. Thats life and thats what keeps the balance in it.
