Amazing 100th Episode
13 December 2006 | by (New Orleans, U.S.) – See all my reviews

This was an amazing episode of Without a Trace. It was cleverly written and had a very strong message. I am from New Orleans, and they not only had a very good missing person case, but they also made a strong statement about the condition down in New Orleans. Also, Roselyn Sanchez (Elena) wasn't in this show that much. I find her rather obnoxious, so I was glad to not see her in this episode.

The show, about an evacuee from New Orleans, Louisiana Post-Katrina, was a political statement. It was partially about a man who went missing in NYC after riding in a boat in the flooded part of New Orleans with his two children, but it was also about the condition of New Orleans. CBS made a statement about New Orleans so the country could know what's happening down here. I thought this was an excellent episode, and I advise you to watch it.
