User Reviews

acting job

oh my goodness...the plot of this particular episode was so sad, but very intriguing and amazing, but that's not what I want to comment about. The acting job by Milo and Billy Petterson was more than amazing. I have never seen Grissom's character so passionate before. He was more stressed than ever, then so angry and very aggressive. Billy did an excellent job portraying these emotions, especially because they are not emotions normally seen in the stolid Grissom. Milo was so believable and brought me and my friend right into the story line. As they conclusion to the investigation came near and we understood what was happening, we were so upset and screaming, "NO, NO" at the TV. Milo made a character that everybody will root for in this show. He got me more in this one hour than he EVER did on Gilmore Girls.

Props to Billy Patterson and Milo V. for a absolutely breathtaking and superb acting job!
