Well this was one of my fav. episodes ever for these reasons
- the guest cast which I loved. I loved every single actor!
- the main cast & the plot which were particulary entertaining, at least IMHO.
Anyway, great review & I did find some interesting points
When the crowd catches wind of who she is, they start heckling her, and Tripp makes one arrest: a man named Carlos Guzman who is particularly aggressive.
Well I would have called it more lynch rather than heckling LOL. I don't know if I had been Allison, I would have freaked out while they were yelling,.
Cynthia Wells is able to recover the signature of the person who hired him: Allison Burgess.
This, IMHO, was the most ridiculous part of the episode. I mean how is it possible that indentation was an official signature on an official document? Don't get me wrong, but it looked like Allison had signed on another paper which was above this one & left the famous indentation....at least I wouldn't sign an official document in that disgustin way, if it were me :lol:
Horatio has Daniel arrested, and consoles a distraught Allison Burgess as her son is led away in handcuffs.
Hmmmm, I think I missed this part. Don't get me wrong, but I've never seen H consoling her. What I saw was a distraught Allison and H just staring at her & not doing anything to actually console her. I was actually shocked to see him not consoling the widow of the epsidoe.
Unfortunately, Tripp’s involvement isn’t taken any further than that, and we don’t find out much else about the swindling. Is Tripp hard up for money now? Fretting over his retirement? It would have been great to see the story taken a step further, to even see Horatio offer to help Tripp out with a loan or something along those lines.
Unless they'll bring back this storyline with another adventure for Burgess family, I highly doubt they'll ever remember of it
When something is fired at Allison, it proves to be a piece of fruit rather than a bullet, but it’s jarring enough to make viewers jump.
Thank you 'cause I really jumped while watching it for the first time...my friend, who was there doing something else, looked at me as if I were crazy. I wasn't expecting it at all LOL!
Allison is played by the gifted Andrea Parker, who is very convincing as the downtrodden wife and mother trying to pick up the pieces of her life in the wake of her husband’s machinations.
WOW!!!
Shawn Pyfrom, who plays the Burgess’ son Daniel, has a much trickier role, and isn’t quite as successful at pulling it off.
Poor Shawn....I got distracted by the t-shirt they gave him and his hairdo, his look was disgusting LOL. But I don't think he did a bad job. I do think that his role wasn't the best one. While people could have a little bit of sympathy for Allison because, at least, she tried to do something good also in order to give some money back to those "poor" people, Daniel was just cocky....I don't know I just didn't like the fact he smoked that thing, that he slept all morning (how old was he? Did he go to school or to work? Or was he just a lazybones?) and he practically didn't do anything all morning! I just couldn't help disliking him LOL. Guess they could have written a better character for him also because he was way too similar to Andrew Van De Kamp....I really was expecting him to blackmail his mother by the end of the episode :lol:
He, unfortunately, had to be part of the dysfunctional aspect of the family. That reminded me a lot of the "Pretender" when, OFC, people had much more symphaty for Miss Parker (Andrea Parker) who was supposed to be the antagonist of the show, rather than Sydney (Jarod's shrink) who was integral part of the dysfunctional system of the "Centre".
As for Jesse, I totally agree with you :thumbsup:
Ryan Wolfe might be feeling a bit territorial,
I respectfully disagree. What I saw was just a fantastic bonding between the two. Something I'm looking for now that I know Eric Delko is "gone". That's exactly what they show has been missing right since s3.
And I don't think Jesse didn't like Ryan's attitude. I think that was right what he was looking for 'cause he's not a boring CSI. He's a man and I'm sure lots of men would enjoy have fun also while working.
So, I'm all for their bonding 'cause THIS is a bonding!
