That was a pretty good twist. I was as gob-smacked as the detectives.
Not sure I liked her accent. It seemed really put on. I think we share the same eating habits tho. Red Face
It was very weird seeing arch baddie Schillinger as the boss man.

The Closer, well too early to form an opinion yet but from the outlook it did look good, she was quite good in that role but that nicest really got annoying so quickly but impressed she got the confession out and hopefully next week everyone will accept her as their deputy of priory murder squad.

I turned it off after 20 minutes, the accent was just too distracting for me and I was finding it hard to watch her, she was acting too much, if that makes sense Confused.

I'm intrigued as to what happened in the end twist-wise though. Maybe I'll come back to this series next week and see if I can get into it more.

basically the body of women was apprantly women who dress as a guy because she was wanted for murder and stole someone else identity and use it many years.

Oh Eek Thanks for explaining, Bala Smile

That bit with the gruesome body at the beginning put me off a tad Red Face

The body was pretty gross. You didn't really see it after that intial bit though. I get what you mean about her acting too much. It was better towards the end.
Jury is still out at this stage but looks promising enough. Lots of recognisable faces in it. I didn't instantly hate it like I did with House.

Did anybody else watch that Love Soup prog on the beeb ?
I thought it was quite sweet.

I liked the look of the trailers but forgot it was actually on last night Red Face I'll try and remember next week!

Found myself missing Line Of Fire whilst watching The Closer last night for some reason. Such a shame that was cancelled.

Sometimes the girl in Lost (the sister, whatshername ?) reminds me of Van Doren in Line Of Fire.
The first few eps were a bit slow but it really got going towards the end.
I really wanted to know what was gonna happen to the baddie. That guy was a total slimebag.

Wow, I thought first episode was good but this episode was slightly better, I liked how they didn’t make a big deal about fancy title sequence instead they used shield technique of starting episode and black out every few season with actor names, I really like that. The one thing I found amusing was how she managed to get a makeover while doing the investigation, I really never seen that happened before on a cop-show. Eek

The Closer, well Brenda damn was she right to put a hit on the suspect? She a cop but she really cause him to be killed, yes he killed the two women but I don’t get why she couldn’t arrest him?, he confessed to killing them both so I’m a little confused why she let him go?, Last week she gets a free make-over this week she buys the murdered Women fully furnished house, sometime it benefits of being a cop.
