Special Guest Star tonight is Michel Biehn.

Really looking forward to this one. Big fan of Biehn.

I'd love for once for a big name actor (for a show like this Beihn is big name even if he isn't in the grand scheme of hollywood) to be on a show like this and not be the bad guy

and opening fire like that and shooting the chemicals in a meth house is a good way to die in a fire

and they definitely are wrapping up cases too fast
they really need to start having 2 parters or some kind of arc

Re: Dark Blue -- "O.I.S." -- 8/26/09
 

Yep, I said this a few episodes ago.

This episode is a perfect example of why arcs are needed .. it was started and finished too fast. Just when you're getting into it, it's over.

Well said (and to the others too) - they seem to be in the mode of throw a curveball to the original plan and then quickly work through it. It would've been sweet to see an all encompassing manhunt for the UC and the team trying to balance supporting that effort while trying to clear him. Or maybe run a couple of cases together and stretching them out (Maybe a slow fuse case that runs over a bunch of episodes)

And once again while the stories are good there always seems to one or two annoying details/plot points. The UC gained the confidence of the dirty cop/team way too quickly... no? Also did an experienced UC agent really confuse the drug dealer reaching for a remote with reaching for a gun? I know it was useful in helping to explain away how he could rapidly be taken in by the team, but I was shaking my head when it happened (and wondering if it was intentional).

Being that this is a Jerry Bruckheimer TV Production, I think this show was developed and conceived as a weekly self contained procedural. However, I do see your points that extending the arcs and making the undercover operations more complex & stretching over 2-3 episodes could benefit the show more and not make the end of each episode feel so rushed.

Re: Dark Blue -- "O.I.S." -- 8/26/09
 

I agree with the above about arcs. If this was set up like 'Wiseguy', it would be even better.

I really like the show, though. I like Dean's character better than Ty (Ty reminds me too much of that putz Eriq 'I turned down 30 million and now have no career' LaSalle).

Well, turned out he didn't -- but missing the swap was just as bad!

I really like the show, though.

I liked this episode alot and thought Michael Biehn was great. However, it did feel really rushed. The ending felt just way too neat and tidy. This type of plot deserved at least 90 minutes of content or 2 episodes. The opening shootout was good stuff.
