I liked this episode, but I didn't love it.
I thought it was odd that they went from such a big event/storyline with Liam and Gibbons last week to a self contained episode. Plus Gibbons was nowhere to be found here. Another weird part was Wysocki all of the sudden asking Caleb where he went to school when they have already worked together for several weeks.
Okay, Colvin's hat that she wore out in the field looks fucking ridiculous. I don't know what's the point of her wearing it.
I liked Stacy Haiduk as the Madam. If you watched Southland earlier this season, she was the slutty Red Head Sally.
The blonde who Caleb and Wysocki interviewed was gorgeous. Thought it was funny that she started making up shit about her roommate and her boyfriend.
Surprised that Vonda took the hit for not padding down the suspect & locating the gun. Hopefully they will re-address that later on after she talked to her Uncle on why she did it.

Oh and I bet noone noticed this. The Director of this episode was Lesli Linka Glatter, who is also an Executive Producer on the show. I noticed her EP credit was spelled "Lesli", which is correct. But her Director credit was spelled "Leslie" Ooops!

Yeah, solid episode last night. I liked Evers confronting Wysocki at the end, "You tell lies to your fiance...not your partner." The bit about the radios was good too.

I would imagine it was because she knew she would get a pass because of her uncle. It also will help her fit in with the street squad since she took one for the team.

The thing that she really overused in this episode was having an extra walking by as a wipe to switch to another camera angle. Maybe use that during a busy, frantic scene, but she used it a couple of dozen times at least during conversations. Otherwise, I missed Gibbons.

probably my least fav episode of the season, but pretty good still! I love plots relating to uncover missions, so hopefully we can get deeper into those storylines

I noticed that myself. There seemed to be a lot of expository dialogue in this episode and I wondered if it wasn't supposed to be the 2nd or 3rd episode, or maybe even stuff that was originally cut out of the pilot. Maybe they had originally intended to have a 2 hour pilot?

As for the conversation the only thing I can think of is that since he supposedly goes through so many partners maybe it's expected that he doesn't bother to ask personal questions for a while assuming they'll wash out. (of course in this case wasn't he just testing Caleb after reading his personnel file?)

According to comments from Shawn Ryan's twitter and Alan Sepinwall's blog, this episode was produced much earlier (like 2nd or 3rd after the pilot) and then moved later.

haven't they been on the task force for multiple episodes now?
