Watching a Pros ep - Wild Justice

[byslantedlight]

I almost missed msmoat's post about Pros the other day (it's been nice to catch up on some of the interesting questions being posted about our lads recently - more of those, please! *g*) She asked What is your favorite Pros episode that other people don't like?, and although I find it very hard to answer favourite ep questions usually (many! for many

I love this episode. I didn't realise that it isn't a fandom favourite. To me, it's like a behind the scenes episode - we get to see the lads training, we see the psychological machinery behind CI5's personnel, we see a relationship between Cowley and Doyle (the bowtie) and between Bodie and Doyle (borrowing the tux) and we see a shared hobby (the bikes) and more background on Bodie. For me, it's like a context-giving episode (if that makes *any* sense!)

Like you I like the training at the beginning and seeing the lads in a different environment. The training gives them credibility in their day jobs. There is an awesome scene from a production point of view where the PTB are discussing Bodie and it's all one shot. It always catches my eye. I like the scene with Cowley, Doyle and Bodie's tux, too. Nice lighting in that scene, nice direction, night lighting and another scene with some extra context around the relationships of the three of them - in this instance I feel that Cowley helping Doyle with his bowtie is shorthand for us to realise that it's the two of them together who will sort out the Bodie Situation (a bit like the Bonnie Situation, but with less blood)! I have a real enjoyment for eps in any fandom where one of the guys goes rouge, so I guess that's another reason I like this episode. I also enjoy listening to the voice of the person giving the psych questions and trying to figure out if it's Steven Pacey!

Anyway, this is starting to sound like an essay, so I'm off!

Essay away - not least because I tend to! *g*

And yeay for liking Wild Justice!

Yes! Nice way to describe it!

where one of the guys goes rouge
Rouge? Like blusher? I think that's a whole different episode... *vbg* (Sorry, I couldn't resist - perfect typo for rogue there! *vbg*

Steven Pacey? You mean Steven Pacey Tarrant Steven Pacey?! Ooh - I shall have to go back and listen to the psych questions! *g*

[dollidaydream]

lol! Yes like the *blusher* - even as I was typing it I was thinking that I can never tell the two words apart! *g* (And in any case, it matches Bodie's eyeliner from the fist-through-the-door incident! *g*). Do go back and listen to the voice, it always sounds like Steven Pacey to me.

Hee - excellent point about Bodie's eye-liner! *g*

Hmmn - had another listen to Tarrant possible-Steven-Pacey, and I don't know - I'd need to get out me Blake's Seven again, it's been aaages since I watched him! Did he sound that posh in B7?!
