Certainly not one of the season's best. But then again, I'm of the opinion that with the exception of "Hunting Ground", most of this season has been a constant blur of suckage. And yet, I keep watching. :lol:
The shaky camera annoyed me. I have a pretty strong stomach (I've been known to eat ice cream or pizza while in line for a roller coaster at amusement parks), so the shaky camera didn't make me feel funny it was just annoying. But I can appreciate that it is more than just a little bothersome for others, and I'm certain the producers/director/whoever is in charge should've left it out.
Back to the split-screens? They're marginally (and it's a very slim margin, indeed) better than the shaky cam. I have one thing to say to those responsible for it, and it can best be described in picture form:
Anyways, I really didn't like that Molly, a
lab tech, went out into the field with a gun. I wouldn't have minded her there if it had been set up differently: with her in the car while Ryan and the uniformed cops clear the scene
before bringing her out; or having just the patrol cops clear the scene before Ryan and Molly went to investigate the source of the lewisite.
Frank was great, as usual. I liked his way of comforting the dead guy's wife- it was very Frank to just put one hand on her shoulder instead of embracing her completely. He's not very touchy-feely, but his demeanor and actions still conveyed the sympathy he felt for her.
I still miss Calleigh. I suppose, on the bright side, that it was good that in her one scene, she recovered evidence that ended up being very important to the case. Without her collection of dirt in the guy's hair, they never would've found the lewisite, and in turn wouldn't have found Dante's hideout.
With the exception of Calleigh, screen time was fairly even for everyone. Maybe a little less of Tom, but that was to be expected, as the focus was on catching a specific, living fugitive instead of using a crime scene and a body to find an unknown criminal.
