Goofs:

Errors in geography: There are a number of scenes which indicate that the show is actually shot in Los Angeles and not New York, where the show is supposed to take place. There are several supposed one way streets with double yellow lines painted down the middle (which do not exist in New York), large blue street signs (which are used in LA, as opposed to NY, which uses green street signs), and house numbers on each street painted into the sidewalk in front of each house, which is also not done in New York, but instead in Los Angeles.

Quotes:

[Talking to Barry Mashburn- the man running the hold-up]
Barry Mashburn: No one's hurt.
[pauses]
Barry Mashburn: Yet.
Jack Malone: Does that include Sydney Harrison?
Barry Mashburn: Sydney's safe for now.
Jack Malone: Can you tell me where she is?
Barry Mashburn: She's, uh, she's, uh, she's with my partner.
[Martin listens in on the phone conversation]
Barry Mashburn: You know, but one word from me and she dies. They don't hear from me by midnight, she dies. You understand that?

They Need To Get Rid of Roselyn Sanchez

Roselyn Sanchez has completely destroyed the interest I used to have in this show.

Her complete lack of acting ability just annihilates every scene that she is in. She mumbles through every line and is barely intelligible (and I am being nice).

Her face is so completely devoid of emotion, one has to wonder why anyone would ever want to have such a negative presence on a formerly hit show.

It must be hell for the other actors to have to share the screen with someone who gives them absolutely nothing to play against.

Come on CBS, do the right thing and force the bad producers who hired her to fire her. Maybe killing her character would be good. It could be sold as a "very special episode".

I know I'd watch it.
