Without a Trace

I keep forgetting to watch. I miss Danny. I agree the cast is too huge.

Heck get rid of them all and let Danny have his own show. ;D

I don't really like the new girl. She's just added on and the cast is already getting less and less time for some girl who I can barely understand. And she adds nothing. I can guarantee that she and Danny are going to end up in the sack real soon.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. Last night, I finally watched the episode I'd taped from the week before and there is one part where -- quite seriously --- I didn't understand a SINGLE word she said. Not one. And she had about 10 lines. I rewound the section a few times then just gave up. I really should get a TiVo so that I can tape thing *and* put on subtitles during various shows.

Enrique just has so much potential for great stories as an actor but he's just not being used as much as he could.

So true. But few of them are used enough. Except for the blasted Poppy Montgomery, although, thankfully, it's less so this season. I really hope "Danny" doesn't get together with the Cubano chick.

What did you guys think of the storyline with Jack and his father (Martin Landau)? Maybe I'm just paranoid and neurotic about Alzheimer's but I sniffled when the father died, even though I hated the arc as a whole.

Your tape is also closed captioned.

That's not the case for me, probably because of the way my particular system is set up, combined with the Time Warner all-in-one remote. There is no way of making the close-captioning show up on any of my televisions, even though it does show up when I sometimes take a tape to my sister or parents' houses.

Last night's episode was terrible. Terrible. The story for the missing guy was just wierd and pathetic. How I love Danny though. And watching Martin stumbling through Spanish was hysterical. But the more I see this season, the more annoying it is.

I don't think closed captioned or subtitles would help with Elena (aka Mumbles), they are probably all "wah, wah, wah, wah" like the adults from "Peanuts" cartoons. Unfortunately I do think that Elena and Danny will end up in the sack. Because if they didn't, it would violate the cardinal rule of adding useless characters to a TV show - There must be schtupping shortly after said character arrives, then she gets hit by a car. Oh the angst, the angst.

Did anyone see the episode where they thought the doctor was a terrorist and shot him at the end? Man was that an annoying episode and everyone were so stupid.

I haven't watched in awhile, but isn't there some sort of history between Danny and Elena already? I got the impression they'd been in the sack some time ago and it hadn't worked out?

I think they knew each other from the days when Danny had a drinking problem, but I'm not sure if that translates into an old romantic or sexual relationship.

On last Thursday's episode, did anyone think that the young girl who was friends with the missing guy bore a strong resemblance to Nicole Ritchie? The hair, the big eyes and the lips.... it could have been her sister!

Dear Without a Trace;
Your season finale sucked. No one really cares if Brandon Walsh* would have killed Jack's girlfriend. If you expected it to be suspenseful or exciting, perhaps someone who has been on the show for more reasons than just Jack getting some tail should have been kidnapped. I would venture to say your season finale was boring. Or you could have gotten rid of Elena and no one would have noticed.
I did cheer when Walsh got shot though. Even though I never believed that he would have robbed banks and killed a bunch of people. David Silver always had that crazy look, Brandon Walsh, not so much.
Seriously I'm done with this show. It's just completely inconsistent and bad. Oh, how I miss the old show. I'll always have DVDs and reruns on TNT.
Thanks for the four seasons.

*PS - For you young types, there was this show in the 90's called "Beverly Hills 90210" which is the model for any other "teen show" that has come on since. Jason Priestley played Brandon Walsh, a self righteous, annoying, preachy "teen" (I didn't know teens had crows feet) from Minnesota. Priestley can't act therefore any other work he does is Brandon Walsh kidnaps people, Brandon Walsh discovers America, Brandon Walsh circumnavigates the globe in a hot air balloon (which he also supplies the hot air). Okay I may have made some of those up.

So did Mary Elizabeth Mast.....(whatever her name is) get killed? I didn't watch but I couldn't stand her or Jack with her. If she's gone, I'll be watching next season.

And Dear "Without A Trace":
Give Danny his own show please. And a good love interest.
Thanks.
