My TV Musings

It was priceless that Brass was the one to tell Jack Malone to play by the rules! I mean, even I could tell that the man they caught at the casino wasn’t a killer. And I’ve never liked Jack’s violent and underhanded tactics. So the guy turns out to be the father of the kidnapped and murdered child. Who could have guessed that?

How clever to have Sarah pop in on Grissom and Malone, mention Hank, and Malone starting a conversation, after she’s left, about the perils of dating within the workplace, as if Sarah and Grissom are a new item and not a couple of some two to eight years depending on which one you ask! Even better, though, was Jack’s asking Grissom why he kept an irradiated pig carcass in a jar in his office, and Grissom said he uses it to compare to human tissue. Jack asks “Why?” and Grissom says, “For fun, of course!”

After some kids find a man left for dead in a Las Vegas neighborhood, quite a powerful scene: Sarah and the cops slowly walking through the house where a serial killer may still be, until the cop comes across something and calls Sarah into the room. The camera pans over the sofa, along the sightline of Sarah and just beyond the sofa is another body, draped with a cloth as if the killer, as they say, is remorseful about the kill.

As for Sarah’s getting upset about body counts and means of death, hasn’t she been around the block for quite awhile and shouldn’t she be used to this? Maybe she’s pregnant and starting to get all emotional about such things!

After seeing Grissom interact with Sam in the New York lab I’m beginning to come around to the whole Sarah-Grissom thing. Sam was cracking wise about stuff and Grissom just looked at her as if she were some bug under a magnifying glass. His sense of humor is one Sarah understands apparently.

Just as the final scene was playing, Grissom and Malone alone in the car talking about how much longer they can handle their high-stress jobs, a horrifying realization came over me: Jack Malone is the one who has to tell the family that their son, Jason Taylor, is dead, making HIM the people person of the two!
