First of all, wow, now I understand what people mean when they tell me my posts are "crammed"! But that's okay, because I really love your commentary on this episode. In short, I agree with everything. Especially Horatio hating every minute of being under Clavo's thumb. Except for the part of camera stupidity..it WAS at a minimum, yay, but the gray-screen-freeze is the trick that ticks me off the most. It puts me in a Tailspin of Rage, reminding me of when the CBS/ABC streaming video players start getting uncooperative.

I have to know, though - is that actual police procedure? You know where he puts his badge on the counter at the bank to inform the teller that they have a hostage situation?

I don't think it was about procedure; I think at the moment it was the only way he could let her know that something was going on, that this wasn't a personal transaction. It was fairly subtle, I thought, so as not to alert the lurking goons. Between that and his expression it got through to her.

Other things:
1. I use meevee.com for organizing my TV schedule. Found it necessary at college when I no longer had a Sunday newspaper with a guide delivered to my door every week.

2. As for SVU, I'm really not that skilled at summarizing, so I'll...um...send you elsewhere!

:) Glad you enjoyed it. I tend to ramble when it comes to TV. And life, though not to the same extent.

I know they've done the gray-screen thing before, but this is the first time that it hasn't bothered me. I think I didn't mind it so much when it was used for a certain purpose - i.e. to tell us "These are the bad guys. Pay attention to them." - because it was as annoying as ever the other times it occured, like when for some reason Natalia's *tweezers* were highlighted. So, it wasn't so much that particular camera trick as the context in which it was used. Or something.

I think at the moment it was the only way he could let her know that something was going on, that this wasn't a personal transaction.

Good point. Hadn't thought of it that way.

Also, thank you for pointing out meevee to me. I'm having the exact same problem, so that should be a big help.
