Touching Evil 3-24-04

Interesting episode this week, especially the secondary story line. Not sure if this is worth spoilers, but I'll use them just in case.
Spoiler:
I didn't like Creigan turning in the other agent at first, made him seem a little like a rat. But the way the other agent flipped at the end, there was no way he should have been allowed to get away with killing Hinks.


Also, it's going to get really old really quick if
Spoiler:
the suspects don't survive the episode. Three episodes, three dead suspects. And in two of the cases, not even enough evidence for a trial if they had lived.
Although, it is a nice change from the L&O/CSI pattern of wrapping it all up neatly within an hour.

I honestly didn't see the suspect getting killed. I was assuming that Methos would surrender and then eventually escape, becoming some kind of vigilante agent or something (I can't believe they would get rid of his character after three episodes.)

I liked how the crime was secondary to the main story, rather than the focus.

I thought it was kinda soon to revisit the premiere ep already, but I dug this episode.

I don't have a problem with Creegan coming clean. It's obvious he has a lot of things on his mind and it would make no sense for him not to help "clean it up" by reporting what he suspected.

And I still LOVE the score...

Hmm, I should have put that first part a little differently. At first, I didn't like the way Creegan was handling the issue with the other agent, seemed like he was gaining the guy's confidence just to kinda stab him in the back. However, after the story developed, it turned out to be a good thing.
And now that I think about it, you're right about the score Rogue, it's awesome.

But doesn't the premise of Creegan not having 'emotions/compassion' pretty much dictate that he turn the other agent in?

I kind of liked the idea of revisiting the first episode soon, because it's fresh in my mind and the ending was a little too pat, so it's nice to see why. I didn't like the part about the baby being born brain dead tho.

I think Scully was hotter with the red hair.

Creegan cracks me up. His brutal honesty is funny because you don't see that type of thing anywhere else.

I dig the score as well and I also like the footage of the clouds and Golden Gate Bridge.
