As a way of getting things up and running in this forum and by request, I'm going to post my Pass The Remote reviews of each of this past season's episodes. These "reviews" are in their original form, so they were written the Monday after the episode aired and they are meant for a more mass audience unlike our well versed CC group here. 
If you have a review, be sure to send it to me at tvfan08@yahoo.com.

Cold Case
I have another chock-full edition today, so let's dive right in with week two of new girl watch on Cold Case. So, we all know how I was really hesitant about "Josie chippy" (a.k.a. "new girl") joining the cold case squad because I was worried that she would take away from the existent characters and their only-slightly explored backstories. I was most concerned about Lilly since her role has somewhat diminished over the last few seasons (re-watch the first season on TNT and you'll see what I mean). It seems that I was concerned about the wrong characters in every sense. Scotty once again seemed to have the bulk of the case, although, Lilly didn't seem so out-of-sorts this week like she did in the premiere. "Josie chippy" had a nice chunk as well, but it was at the expense of Vera and Jeffries. I think they had a couple of scenes each at most. I know it's still early, and the writers are trying to introduce "Josie chippy", so I'm hopeful that we'll start getting more of each of the characters. Anyway, onward to the case. Veena Sud wrote this episode, so I knew we were in for an emotional ride. She manages to tug at my heart strings every time, and last night's was no exception. How horrible was Laurie's death at the end? The fire was raging, and Dirk yelling for help - it just killed me. I really felt horrible for her dad, losing his wife and then his daughter. Even though the fraternity brothers didn't cause Laurie's death, they were so much worse! I found the entire storyline quite disturbing because I know things like this must be going on all the time. I see Scotty tried to get the goods on the new girl. I got the impression that she might not be guilty of what all the gossip accuses her of doing, and if that's the case, Vera owes her a huge apology! Overall, another strong episode, but I hope to see more of Lilly and her fabulous interrogations and interviews in the coming weeks.
