I don't want another triangle either. Actually, I'm not sure I like the idea of a romance at all. Lilly needs to focus on herself right now, a guy will just get in the way of that.
But I'm gonna keep an open mind about it. Maybe I'll see chemistry between them.

This came to me earlier today. A reason I bet for them doing most of these last few eps as 2000s is b/c it is easier to get sets and props for it. I'm sure the farther back they go the harder it is to find and create stuff. What the heck, I don't really know if this might be true, I just thought I'd put it in since there seem to be many who just want to complain about the years of the new cases rather than just be glad we are having them. & someone may have wrote this suggestion already, but I haven't been on here in a while to read everything, just info, so I apologize if anyone has came up with this idea too  |

I really can't stand people who complain either. Maybe it's a problem with money this season or the fact that we had the strike interfering with the production. Perhaps next season we will get more of a variation of different decades.
I'm glad to see new episodes at any cost, this show is still rocking at S5

Excellent point, coldcasegirl. I think this is exactly why we're seeing the much more recent cases as the final episodes of the season. They are having to shoot double episodes just to get everything done in time, so I am extremely appreciative to everyone at CC for kicking it into high gear and giving us 5 extra eps this season. I was sure we wouldn't see a new ep until September, so some is better than none and recent cases are better than no cases. Plus, they managed to throw in a personal story line for Lil, and it might lead to her finding her joy again. Isn't that what we all wanted anyway?
I'm with you, LII and others: I'm so thankful for these last 5 episodes that everything else doesn't matter.

Don't look on IMDB there are a ton of rants about tonight's episode. I think the deaf community is going to be upset about this one, for a lot of specific reasons.

I was sure we wouldn't see a new ep until September, so some is better than none and recent cases are better than no cases. You make a good point, of course we're all grateful for getting these eps, but I think part of the problem people are having is that the show is called Cold Case. We've all known this show as the one who gives us those old cases, and we've come to love the show for that reason; telling the stories so accurately and giving the victims justice despite the amount of time that'd passed. I get that with them being in season five now it's probably getting tiring to keep that attention to detail, but perhaps if that's the case then maybe it's time to throw in the towel. I know, they've been signed until season seven, so maybe not throwing in the towel (although anyone can be bought out of a contract) but perhaps they need a way to regroup, or recharge their batteries. Because if you ask me, giving us 2000 cases just because it's less expensive and they're tired doesn't seem like giving it their all. But hey, as long as they do it well and give us an old case every three episodes or so I really don't care. I'm just trying to get the concerns of the people violently opposed to the recent cases across. |

I think this season was wreaked a little by the strike. It threw everything off perhaps next season we'll start to get more older cases.

Yeah I agree with LII about getting thrown off by the strike. If it threw US off imagine how it must be for the cast, crew, and everyone else. Esp. the writers. I'm sure there has to be some kind of tension with them and everyone else. And like TVFan said, I'm appreciating these 5 eps that I ain't paying attn to ANYTHING else.  |

Stillman doesn't retire but ends up taking Scotty's Suspension in " Boy Crazy", but comes back for good in " Family 8108". ADA Thomas and Scotty relationship is done with.

It's because I read that Stillman was going to retire "In the fifth season (beginning in September 2007), he took the month's unpaid leave meant for Scotty Valens, in order to keep him on the force. Stillman, having reflected on his place in the police force during his suspension, later decided to retire. Will Jefferies succeeded him" And ADA and Scotty where finish their "love"? I'm watching now Devil Music, Is it close? Thanks! |

Scotty broke it off wiith ADA Thomas in " Sabatoge" at the end. She did something that made him not want to be around her. As for Stillman it's Lilly who gets him to come back to work in " Family 8108", Jefferies is just a subsitute until he comes back. That doesn't last long since Stillman does come back to Homicide.
You got a few more episodes to go before this happens.

Well, it says he's slated to appear in "at least" two episodes, but they're not sure how many he'll be able to do. *crosses fingers and roots wildly for that ABC series to do well*
As a shallow aside, he's much hotter in the TVGuide picture than he is on the show.

Interesting, about his schedule. Maybe he'll have a lot of in-the-background stuff, like one-sided phone calls and the like, wherein they don't actually need Cannavale to physically be there. If anything is gonna make the character more endurable, in my book, not having to actually see him has a pretty good shot at working. |

Posting this here just to be safe - not sure if the TV Guide article (posted in General Discussion) is really a spoiler per se, but just in case...
It's interesting, though not surprising, that they are choosing to promote the show this way. This guy apparently generates buzz, though I'm not quite sure why. I haven't really paid much attention to the ratings, but if they are significantly down, it would make sense that they would focus on a new character, played by a popular (and supposedly hot?) TV actor to get people who otherwise wouldn't to tune in. It's done all the time, and it's really too early to tell if this is a bit of "stunt casting" or if this guy will actually be relevant, but I tend to think the former as Bobby is signed on to another show for the fall. Whatever, I don't really "get" this guy - the actor or the character - but time will tell.

This guy apparently generates buzz, though I'm not quite sure why. I would guess that the reason why comes from the whole "Emmy Winner" part (or so they said in the article; I'm just assuming it to be true, since I wouldn't know the guy from Adam). It's always great publicity when you can claim one of your players is an award-winner, and doubly so when he's won one of the 'big' awards. So, in theory, it's a great publicity machine to say "hey, watch our season finale, it features an Emmy Winner!". And, I guess... given the low ratings of his debut, they might also be hoping/assuming that not many people saw it, and therein haven't passed judgement on the character yet. Absolutely not in agreement, in any way, with this method... just posing it as a possible explanation for their line of thinking. |

I think that's exactly what is in their heads in terms of what they are hoping to get from him. Unfortunately, for us, it means we have to sit through more of him. I don't mean to put the actor down as I did watch Third Watch and did think he did an amazing job. His Emmy is well-earned for his acting abilities but as Saccardo.... it's just not workin' for me. I simply dislike the character all around. Nothing to do with the acting per se. Please, in the name of all that is pure, make this version of " Cupid" last.  |

Maybe we just need to give the guy a second chance. Yes, Saccardo wasn't exactly loveable at first sight but I have faith in the writers. His tough exterior may be all an act. And as a Third Watch fan I can say Bobby Cannavale is a really good actor. Let's see what happens first, we're going to have all summer to discuss! |

Let's see what happens first, we're going to have all summer to discuss! first off, love your signature banner.  kathryn morris is simply beautiful! and you were write about eddie. even though i'm all for scotty/lilly, there's no denying that eddie was great in this episode and he and lilly connected on a level regarding the case. and, the end, there was a definite look. yes, i wanted scotty/lilly but it's only reasonable for the writers to leave us with eddie on the mind since he'll be back next season as a love interest for lilly. next season! SO FAR AWAY! haha.  i'm going to miss all new cold case episodes! |
