I think they did have a thing for each other, at the end Shelley was a true friend that respected Ed for who he was ; not his money

I think they did have a thing for each other, at the end Shelley was a true friend that respected Ed for who he was ; not his money Yep, That's the reason why Ed left her the money... Every time I remember this episode(especially the murder scene) I wanna cry... I know a lot of people hated it but for me it was excellent... Btw, I'm catching a Cold case marathon from old episodes so I'll be able maybe to check if the jumping off the fence was from an older episode and to compare this season to older seasons |

Actually I can tell you the fence jumping isn't in the older ones, but the way that Lilly looks in that scene is probably something that will most likely happen this season ( No spoilers) but in the next episode promo it really looks like it's from that one.

We'll see... I watched the promo(no spoilers) and It seems more an episode that they will use intelligence to discover the doer(no spoilers) We'll see... Thanx LII2 Talking about the episode... I loved the scene where Ed was dying and looking at her sister  I'll vote for that one in DRAMATIC SCENE in the season 6 awards |

I just rewatched this one: I have the same feeling: I loved it!!!
Just that!
The murder scene is one of the best ever on the show.

This is my own opinion, but I think this was the 2nd worst episode this season along with the dealer. Again I knew who the killer was, but like I had said before this is my own thoughts. No offense to anyone who liked it.

Breaking news was my number three in worst episodes this season, I wasn't impressed with some of the episode this season including this one. It's just me, but I liked how when Vera recieved the phone call about Valentine it traced forward to " Officer down", which was unique.

Btw, Nikki said "slow night in Killadelphia?" Is Philly a dangerous city? |

It was an ok episode but liked the banter between the detectives and also in the bar.
I guess the husband had tracked or followed Scotty but he should have known he was a cop.
Ed looked more like Dale Earnhardt Jr. when Jr. had the beard and scruffy look.

Upon rewatching it (gotta love DVR) I have upgraded my option of this episode from ok to good. Long winded review so bear with me.
While it still won't reach the power of Officer Down, Wednesday's Women and Behind The Blue Wall (the Season Six best) and other powerful episodes,it did come across better to me the second time around and made me realize I've dismissed some episodes like this for the wrong reason. And it was because of the victim. As a Cold Case viewer, I became so used to a certain type of CC victim I tend to overlook others.
Ed wasn't a victim who was ahead of his time, a victim who was standing up against the injustices of of society (sexism,racism,etc) or a person who had to face a choice between right and wrong.
He was simply an ordinary guy who won the lottery and while it didn't hit it 100%, it was accurate in showing what happens to many "winners" of the lottery. That it ends up making their lives hell.
They will spend without a care in the world to get things they never had without realizing the money runs out, can fall prey to people like the sleazy financial advisor and the gold digger and often encounter something worse.
That something is a fear I'm sure many of us have. How well do we really know our loved ones and close friends? Will they change if we experience a change in fortune? Sadly for many real life lotto winners is that they, like Ed discover the people we thought we could count on and trust the most turn out to be the ones who will betray us and hurt us the most.
And finally, I had to agree with Eduardo about Ed's death scene. Truly heartbreaking for Ed that in his last breaths, he realizes that the man who raised him and shot him, was acting at the behest of his sister,who felt she was "owed" for raising him and keeping him out of the system. Easily the most evil sibling killer on CC.

Easily the most evil sibling killer on CC. I totally agree. As much as Ed brought some of his troubles upon himself for spending the money so recklessly, nothing he did warranted being killed....especially by the person who did it. And even moreso by the person who set it all in motion. There's different kinds of evil to me -- physical evil, wherein the person is actually the one doing the killing and then mental evil, where it's all being orchestrated behind the scenes by someone else. Manipulating someone else to kill for is the absolute epitome of mental evil. |

Manipulating someone else to kill for is the absolute epitome of mental evil. Indeed, and there were several episodes of those. Spiders,Start-Up, Blood On The Tracks and Wunderkid. I will say that in Marty's case I don't think Pam really had to work that hard to get him to do the dirty work. Betrayal of the worst kind. |

I have to admit, this is one of my least favourite episodes. It's just boring. I think both this and 8 Years are the weakest episodes of the series. I didn't really care at all about the victim, and couldn't gain any sympathies for the killers. Also, the episode was very recent. If they'd made it maybe ten years or even five years old it might have been a bit more interesting.

Apologies for double posting
Interestingly, while I still hate the episode, I admire the fact that the victim was one of the most truly neutral characters they've had. Okay, he was nice to his vet student friend, but he wasn't a hero or a talented genius like a lot of cold case victims.
Cold Case victims either seem to be incredibly good or incredibly bad. I like the fact that Ed was pretty damn average.

I like the fact that Ed was pretty damn average. Indeed, that's why I liked him and also overlooked him at first. Because he was an everyday person. No standing up to injustices or being a person ahead of his or her time. Just someone who had his life changed by winning the lottery. While not a tearjerking episode, it was sad to see how so many of the people Ed thought he knew showed their true colors when he won the lotto. Sad thing is,it happens to many people in real life. And while she is no George Marks or the killers from Strange Fruit, Pam is still easily one of the evil more cold case killers there was. It takes a special kind of evil to plan the murder of your brother that you raised and have someone else do the dirty work. Most of the episode was so so but Ed staring up at his sister and knowing that in his dying breaths that she was responsible for him being shot still gets to me when I see this episode. |
