User Reviews

One of the weaker episodes

Getting to the killer was good as always. Unfortunately he's a very disturbed and creepy individual who preys on women. That really turns the stomach, yet there are people like that out there. But I know that and so I admit I don't find episodes like this my favorites. But this episode was weaker for two other reasons.

First, a Christian says he reserving sex for marriage. David says no way and later we find the guy has a room *packed* with carefully displayed BSDM gear. Yes Hollywood, there are many well-adjusted men of faith who wait for marriage and aren't perverts. Sheesh.

The second is a set of dream sequences where Charlie is learning about his mother. When his dad starts to dream about her too it just doesn't work very well. There must have been a better way to get at the back story of his mother.

You can't win them all and this episode loses in my book.
