I was expecting something rather more but was disappointed, this show could have done a little better...
A really different episode, from what is usually played out. To me showing the times on the screen had a bit of a different crime drama feel that wasn't very typical at all of the usual " Cold Case" fashion.
I'm really glad this whole stupid thing between Frankie and Scotty is over for good. Aside from that, I knew from the beginning who had killed Ben. It wasn't hard to figure it out at all.
The most funniest scene had to be Vera/ Jefferies bickering and Lilly saying" One Word, Couples Counseling",which added to the lighter side of this story.

I liked this one. It had a "24" feel to it, which I hope doesn't become a regular theme, but for this episode, it was appropo. It didn't take long to figure out that Leigh had a fling with Tom, but I was a bit slow in figuring out who did the killing. The one thing I don't understand is how the feds put two witness protection families so close to each other. Unless I missed it, that was never explained.

I had missed a couple of episodes over the holidays, and this episode did have a different feel to it. Very cool to hear them give accurate directions on the drive from Cape May to Philly. Also, yes, those bridges do have cameras on them to photograph every vehicle passing through. Because of privacy reasons, I don't think they're permitted to photograph the drivers like shown in Lilly's interrogation; however, there's been two actual cases I know of that's been solved with those bridge pictures. |

 Frankie's gone!!!! Celebration aside, I thought this was a pretty good episode of Without A Trace. Just kidding...I actually liked the change of pace. Wouldn't want it all the time, but it's nice when they mix things up a bit like they did this time around. One thing stuck out at me: would people in Witness Protection really discuss being in Witness Protection at a high school track meet? Really? REALLY? 'Cause that seemed kinda stupid to me. Other than that, the case was really interesting. I loved Kat and Vera's interview with Tammy, Jeffries calling on his own experience to talk Jeff out of revenge, and Lilly's interview at the end with Vinny. I thought they tried to pack too much other stuff into this one; I thought Vera/ Jeffries roommate snark deserved more than just that one scene, and the Scankie Breakup Scene seemed random and out of place. Both, I think could have been fleshed out a bit more. And what's the purpose of the new ADA? He's interesting as a character, don't get me wrong, but, again, we get so little of the characters we actually know and care about that I kinda resent having to share their screen time with random people like him. I loved the music in this one. I'll be haunting the soundtrack thread and iTunes in the coming days.

I am not gonna lie... I was having EXTREMELY HIGH EXPECTATIONS for this episode... I even said It was gonna be on the top 3 of the whole series. Don't get me wrong... I rated it as excellent... but could have been better It had a different style(The hours and everything), We saw different places: Rhode Island, New Jersey. We had a lot of intrigue and at least me... I thought the killer was Tom. I am liking 6 season. Ben's wife was everything but perfect because she slept with the US Marshall  I loved the case full of emotion. I liked the characters even Vinnie. It was good to know how those people sadly have to live  There was no good or bad people: just normal people. Ben was likable, Tammy was so sweet, Tom & Ben's wife made a mistake as anyone can make and Jeff was just a guy that wanted justice. Detectives also shined Special mention to: Jeffries, Kat, Scotty and Lilly Lilly as always  I liked her interview with Vinnie because Vinnie confessed because there was enough evidence to accuse him, that was realistic Scotty did a good thing by stopping Jeff Jeffries was so stunning when he said that about revenge to Jeff Kat was flawless in the Tammy Interview Not too much Stillman this season I liked music and direction and the flashback style BUT AGAIN: WHEN DETECTIVES ARE SEEING THE VICTIMS?Personal Issues -Is it me or there's something going on between Kat and the new ADA?  Like they'll have something  -Scotty and Frankie over ;D -Did anyone else see how Lilly saw when Tammy and Vinnie hugged? I think she remembered her father
QUESTIONS
1. Why Tammy and Jeff did not escape? Because Ben went missing? Were they still together?
2. How Jeff knew his dad died? How could he know it
Thanks |

1. Maybe because both Tammy and Jeff were scared about what might happen to them, since both of their families were in witness protection. 2. He must have read about it, or had a source. Again don't read into things, just accept the fact the he was able to find out and ID his father's body As for the detectives not seeing the victims anymore, I think the writers are terribly screwing up big time. At least let one of the detectives see the victims. The music well I didn't know any of the artists nor liked it, I prefer the older stuff..  |

Thanks LII2 I don't know why but I mean, it's obvious that family/friends have more ties to the victim but sometimes Victims can be seen by detectives |

That was the usual trademark of the show, I have a feeling that it's been lost...
What is this one Cold Case episode a month, It sure feels like it is considering that the next episode is airing on March 8th.. I just hope the next episode is better, I've said it for awhile now but what I'm saying is true. The episodes need to improve.

Actually, I have the feeling the next episode won't be good> It's clichéd. This one worked out for me except for the victim part |

Let's just hope that the next episode is, one good thing about this one; Frankie finally got a brain and decided to go back to her husband. I think at the end, Scotty probably loved her I get that feeling or liked having her around.....
Is it just me or does Lilly/KM look a bit sickly in this episode...

Aside from that I did think the whole ADA Bell and Kat thing was funny, I think he does this unpurpose to gain and humorous attention.

It may not be leading into anything, for me I'll watch the episode again to see If I had missed something. Usually that's the case.

I liked her interview with Vinnie because Vinnie confessed because there was enough evidence to accuse him, that was realistic
Like they'll have something
