From a technical point of view and speaking in my role as the board's resident martial arts nut, the fight scene in the garden between Colby and Sadia's husband is one of the best executed and most realistic fights I've seen in a while (actually reminds me of a Krav Maga class from a couple of weeks ago!). I also like the fact that the resulting injuries do not miraculously 'disappear' in the next scenes (Colby looks like he's been dragged backwards through a particularly beligerant hedge when he's interviewing the husband...)
What did make me squirm was Charlie's English bit of totty's accent. Seriously guys, we do NOT all speak like some 1950's BBC continuity announcer over here - we have a rich and varied range of accents. Okay, she's smart so perhaps a broad Cockney accent isn't going to work (hmmm, I'm reasonably intelligent and I have said Cockney accent...), but that cut-glass, debutant voice is like fingernails being dragged down a chalkboard to me!
Overall, a cracking episode that whipped along at a fair old pace, with more than the usual amount of procedural techniques to balance the maths out a bit.
Kes, you’re sooo right about the fighting scene. I can’t remember to see another one like this in 6 seasons - I’m not an expert like you in martial arts, I used to be only in siblings punching :-)
