Episode Notes: Sentinel "Out of the Past"
After the *wonderfulness* of Flight, this episode is something of a disappointment. I mean seriously, there's no one who doesn't act like an idiot in this one (except Simon, he stays pretty with it). Angie Ferris is a dingbat, her kid Pam's a stealth-ninja child, Blair makes one very crucial stupid mistake, Weston (the bad guy) makes several

-"-Okay, so Blair's obviously enjoying this music, obviously. He's apparently got pretty eclectic musical taste--because this is nothing like the grunge he was listening to in Switchman."
Hah! Wait until you watch "Red Dust"...
The other thing that bothered me about this episode was how Angie was always covering her mouth with her hands when people started fighting...I mean, how cliched can you get?
Thanks for the great commentary and the lovely pics, as always (especially of Blair)...

Have you seen the gag reel where they splice all the shots of this together, one after the other, and make a joke out of it? Very funny!

That is very true! "Flight" is a tough act to follow.
This one does seem especially disappointing though.

You know, I've even seen the blooper reel (a few years ago) and I totally missed that. Usually because I was watching Jim get smacked down rather than focusing on Angie.
I'm glad you enjoyed!

Having said that, I loved the opening, the way it went from video to intense b/w violence to colour--very artistic for what was basically a plain ol' cop show.
Hmmm, I'll have to take a look at that, because I obviously missed something. I didn't even *notice* this. *facepalm*
As for Angie, was it just me, or did she seem a little long in the tooth to have a nine year old?
Especially a nine year old who she'd had *very* young--like still in high school. So she's supposed to be like 27 or so?? Yeah, definitely a little long in the tooth. Good point!
all is totally salvaged by Blair in the fabulous red henley, with great hair and glasses!
It does rather redeem the episode doesn't it. :)
I was trying to be a little neutral about the smackdown because as a plot it was way lame, but I do rather like the idea of Jim and Blair tending to each other's wounds once they get back to the loft.
Or did Blair ( ... )

There are just some people (Jim and Blair) who will always be adorable in bandages...I'm sorry, it's a *thing* *LOL

But the canon of the dials and such makes it a significant episode, I guess.
Thanks for sharing the caps and commentary!

Exactly!! It's kind of like "The Debt"--significant but not *good*. Sigh!!
I guess that's part of what makes episodes like Flight and Warriors, which are both significant *and* good, such treasures.
Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

Um, is this a rhetorical question? Given that the show was aimed (even if it missed) at an 18-35 male demographic, that fine old (not) joke about how the perfect woman turns into a pizza and sixpack of beer after sex seems to apply to TPTB's thinking. Which may not have been Messrs Bilson and DeMeo's thinking but...Mind you, that lack of stable female company does happily play into the hands of slashers, because we know why they can't commit. *eg*
And as far as Blair and Pam and placenta eating thing goes, I have a whole new and not entirely pleasant take on Blair's upbringing.

Not really, because they do it to guys in a *bunch* of shows. And I always think that it makes them look shallow.

*sigh* *sigh*
God! Are men really like that?? I mean, none of the men I've ever known have been like that, but maybe there's some sort of selection effect, you know. Like I've pretty much avoided the disgusting skeezers or someting.
*sigh*

But then it makes them seem like they keep doing the nasty with a bunch of one-night-stand women and cheating on each other. Ugh!

Maybe not that one in particular, but I really can see a very TMI relationship between the two of them - maybe too much frankness from Naomi to overcompensate for that one crucial little piece of info that she can't/won't provide.
And while many men are not skeezers (excellent word, btw) , I think that some of them might like to be...::joins you in the sighing::

Hmmm....interesting idea.
I wonder how that would affect a kid--to have his mom sharing inappropriate things like that...and I just bet that she was "open" about her relationships and so on too....
Neat to ponder!
