Criminal Minds: Paradise (2008) Season 4, Episode 4

Dear, dear Mr Crusher!

[29 March 2009]

My, my, my. How terrible to see that a Starfleet cadet grew up to be such a nasty man! Mind you, wasn't it obvious, even then, that such a Mummy's boy would come to a nasty end? Captain Picard must be so disappointed!

I have to say it took me a while to figure out why the actor was so familiar, but once I had, I have to admit he did a great acting job. Love this new series, the opening episode was excellent. The thing I love about this programme is the characters. I'd hope to see a little more about each of them, in the this series, or maybe the next. I hope it runs and runs. Although that may change if the plot lines become impossible to suspend belief for. Keep up the good work writers!

The Jury is Still Out!

[5/10 · 8 March 2009]

I haven't yet decided, as a huge L&O fan, if this stands up to scrutiny. Firstly, the characters. Bradley's seems an Anglicised version of the wonderful Lenny Briscoe, and Bill's seems entirely based on Jack McCoy. The acting has been of a better standard than I expected, and the 'formula' has been followed.I agree with Greg Noel and maybe some others that the plot for the second episode was directly lifted from the original episode of L&O "Born Bad", and the first episode also seemed strangely familiar in plot.

Having just seen episode 3, it's another complete copy of an episode from the original series.I had hoped that it was not going to be a regular occurrence. As it would appear that this is the case, sadly I will be turning off, until there are newly written episodes, instead of rehashed ones.I really,really hate repeats, and this is almost as bad as a repeat!
