Re: Paul/Brass #2
Y'know, the whole getting shot-and-actually-getting-continuity would have been on my list (it actually is) but I didn't bother typing it because chances are, they may never bring it up again. OK, here goes my rant...
I should go out and get shot protecting some complete stranger and see if there is nothing wrong with me physically nor mentally after it! Get a tatoo and move right along! Yeah, right! He's human, he suffered and/or is still suffering something from it. I don't care if it's 3 years later.
Even a passing mention by one of the team's newbies would suffice for me at this point. But my utimate wish for continuity in this whole thing would be a flashback of some sort. Which I though we might get in Dead Doll. You can't tell me when he is busting down doors (especially hotel rooms) that it doesn't run through his mind.
I know that it's Jim we're talking about and he is teflon man of course, and nothing gets to him....but, c'mon! I know that the show isn't about dwelling on the personal stories of each character. But getting shot (and dying) deserves more than 3 passing references.
I love what you said in your reply to my LJ comment beaujolais, about him being shoved into the background in his "special" episode. When Greg got beat up in Fannysmackin' he was the focal point of the episode. (And Greg got two more full episodes evolving around that storyline.) Not so with Jim. I didn't expect the team to sit and wait the whole time at the hospital for him to wake up, but one of those cases should have been taken out of the episode. Not to bash the GSR followers, but the last 30 seconds completely overshadowed the rest of the episode. I'm not bitter at all about that. End of rant. For now.
Oh, for Annie to come back would be great. TPTB could go somewhere with that storyline, they left it pretty wide open at the end of HB.
If I'm not mistaken, PG said something about liking doing the interrogation scenes the best because that is when Brass is at his best. Yeah, in real life, he would be doing all of the interrogations and apprehending suspects anyways. So, TPTB let's stick with reality in that aspect. And having Jim save/rescue more people is good too, let's keep that up.
I love seeing PG in natural light outside. It really brings out his freckles and I love them. About the wardrobe thing...He needs to wear the all-black outfit he wore in ABRTI part 2 when they're re-creating the scene in the alley. Or what he had on when Grissom tells him he is the one who shot Bell. Or anything other than a suit and tie. That would be fine...
