http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/29/COLD-CASE----Wonderkind.aspx The older the case is on this entertaining show, the better I like it. Tonight we get taken back to 2002, when a math genius – who was tragically taken advantage of by his own brother – is shot and killed. Thank god for the cold case team; if not for them, the brutal death of a 14-year-old kid would go unresolved. But as always, it isn’t smooth sailing. Getting witnesses to talk after so much time and finding new evidence that will lead them in the right direction gets harder and harder the further back in time they have to go. While 2002 might not be the middle ages, it is still light years away from where we are now; let’s face it, with the rate the world runs at today, five years is equivalent to at least ten. That being said, this crack team always manages to get the job done. The tragic part of tonight’s story is the fact that the victim’s own family seemed to sell him down the river and take advantage of his incredible abilities. Being a math whiz means the kid could have accomplished all kinds of things, had he lived long enough to realize his potential. Unfortunately, thanks to his brother, the biggest thing he ended up accomplishing was counting cards and opening safes for a local gang. This may also have something to do with his untimely death, or at least it gives Lilly (Kathryn Morris) and her team a place in which to start their new investigation. But as we all know, their first lead is just that, the first step on their journey to finding justice. 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/2007/10/29/COLD-CASE----Wonderkind.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/29/COLD-CASE----Wonderkind.aspx#1931 just another cop show WAVELYN http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/29/COLD-CASE----Wonderkind.aspx#1931 Wed, 31 Oct 2007 09:36:29 GMT
