LOL. I'm sure the real Marines can handle themselves without Emily Procter's expert military guidance. I mean, I like the way she handles guns and all, but she's still just an actress.
I usually like this show..
But I turned this one off tonight..
I felt it was heading for the military, Iraq war bashing..
You know what kept going through my head throughout this show? I wish I'd had good enough knees and a strong enough body to become a Marine (4-F). There is nothing like a Marine dress blue uniform.
This brand of CSI is pretty absurd, but it's pretty straightforward as far as the good guys are the good guys, and not all "conflicted" like most cop shows these days. I'm not surprised they at least treated the war effort with some respect.
Good looking people and bright colors make it watchable for some mindless fun. Sure beats the execrable "Cold Case".
Caruso tries to do his best Jack Lord imitation (BTW Season 1 of Hawaii Five-O is available on DVD), but doesn't quite have the gravitas to pull it off.
Okay, since you brought up CSI:Miami, I watched an episode recently (one of the re-runs on Spike) where the plot was loosely based on the Kelo case. You know, the sleazy pol using eminent domain to kick people out of their homes so he could slap up some condos.
Anyhow, there was a scene where one of the characters was explaining eminient domain an said (paraphrasing), "The governor is against this, and he's working to change the law".
If the bias wasn't so blatant these days, I'd have never noticed this shining moment of balance.
I can't stand that guy with the orange hair. He was a buffoon on NYPD Blue, and he still is. How many shoot-outs does the average lab rat get into? How many suspects does he beat up?
