http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/24/COLD-CASE----Thrill-Kill.aspx In last season’s finally, a demented stalker took the cold case squad hostage, and we were left to wonder all summer long whether or not Det. Lilly Rush (Kathryn Morris) would survive the gunshot wound that sent her into surgery. Thankfully for all us COLD CASE fans she did, and as the fifth season begins she heads back to work ready to wipe the dust off yet another long forgotten case file. Of course it takes some doing, since everybody believes she may have returned a little too soon. But our girl, Lilly, is one determined woman and she has set her sights on a case from 1994. In what can be seen as very topical, this old case centers on – what Lilly suspects – is the wrongful conviction and incarceration of a couple of teens. In 1994 three 10-year-old children were beaten to death, and the outcry to catch who did it may have moved the investigation in the wrong direction. No worries, this group of detectives – who are determined to bring as many cases as possible to a just and correct conclusion – are on the job, and I’ve yet to see an episode where they don’t crack the case. I think that’s why so many people love cop shows, because we see horrific crimes come to a justified end. That’s so rare to see nowadays that it gives us a little bit of satisfaction to see it on TV. Yes, we all know it isn’t real, but one of the best things about TV is the ability to escape the crap we deal with in real life. A show like COLD CASE gives many of us the resolution we so desperately seek in everyday life. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/24/COLD-CASE----Thrill-Kill.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/24/COLD-CASE----Thrill-Kill.aspx#1521 This plot is truer than you think. It's blueprinted from the case of the West Memphis Three --Jessie Misskelley, Damian Echols and Jason Baldwin. In 1994, they were convicted of killing three local boys in West Memphis, Arkansas in 1993. New DNA tests exclude all three of them and implicate the step-father of one of the victims. See their website at http://www.wm3.org/ for more information. Unfortunately, the wheels of justice turn very slowly. They are still in prison. martinberry http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/24/COLD-CASE----Thrill-Kill.aspx#1521 Wed, 26 Sep 2007 09:41:59 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/24/COLD-CASE----Thrill-Kill.aspx#1540 this is one of my favorite shows,keep up the great work dorothy fugate http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/24/COLD-CASE----Thrill-Kill.aspx#1540 Sat, 29 Sep 2007 02:50:16 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/24/COLD-CASE----Thrill-Kill.aspx#1545 This was great!!
