Dumb question thread...

[mikencelia]

I don't know where to post "dumb questions' so here goes....from what episode is that banner scene where Lilly et al are escorting the suspects in the rain. Looks powerful. I haven't seen too many episodes yet.

P.S. to "RyeBeach" did you take that name after the place in New York?

Great idea for a thread, mikencelia, as I have a dumb question, too.

In the opening montage/credits, there is a shot where it looks like somebody grabs Lilly and spins her around in the PPD parking lot (?) - there seems to be a bunch of patrol cars parked there - to argue/confront her on something.

What ep is that from?

(P.S. Although I have not seen too many eps, either, I think the answer to your question, mikencelia, is the pilot ep "Look Again." But, I may be wrong ... I just remember reading something about the pilot, where Lilly looks to the sky in the rain and it was symbolizing something ... which I now cannot call to mind. LOL!)

Yup it's from the pilot to both inquiries.

To complement both your questions, the very first shot of Lilly looking up from a car (where the words "Cold Case" comes flying out) is also from the show's pilot. So in order, there's three shots from the pilot in that opening sequence:

1) Lilly looks up from a car and the title "Cold Case" flies towards the viewer,
2) A man confronts Lilly in the parking lot of the Philly PD headquarters,
3) Lilly escorts an arrested person from the police car to the station, in the rain.

I've posted this before, but its buried somewhere and since you folks have brought it up....
I think these three shots are meant to symbolically represent the whole show. Automobiles and anything Automotive tends to represent Crime (or Sin), and Water tends to represent Personal Change in individuals. So the first scene where Lilly looks at a car represents Lilly investigating crime. The second scene of Lilly and the person in the parking lot represents Lilly confronting criminals and suspects. The third scene where Lilly escorts an arrested suspect from the police car in the rain represents the third stage, Arrest, and the personal change Lilly goes through in the whole process.

Investigate, Confront, Arrest, and Personal Change --that's what the show is all about!

Thanks for posting this, boxman - most interesting.

Hi Cecilia,

While I've been to Rye, New York before, my username of Rye Beach is actually taken from the name of a small town in New Hampshire, not too far from where I live.

Hi Ryebeach. Did you have a nice birthday?
