Episode Notes: Sentinel "Deep Water"

[sara_merry99]

I love this episode! This one is so wonderfully slashy, such a wonderful look at Jim's past and how he dealt with coming home from Peru (badly). Blair's wearing that red Henley again (yay!). Simon's awesome, etc

I love this episode for all the reasons that you've so cogently outlined, and have the same problems with the timeline and the nonsense about Jim being unable to explain his back-pay. Excuse me? Army. Bureaucracy. No proper records? I don't think so

[rhiannon_jehane]

So what would Jim be likely to be doing in Vice, dressed like one of the Village People?

*giggles and points to icon*

[sara_merry99]

Heee!! That's awesome!

::snorts:: Jim sure has moved on....

In the flashback scene where Jack's trying to move in with Emily, I think Jim with the mustache, dark glasses, baseball cap and Hawaiian shirt looks like Thomas Magnum. Does anyone else see the resemblance or is it just me?

There's only one word to describe the IA woman - Bitch.

Heeeee! I didn't notice it until you mentioned it, but now that you have!!! :D

She was making me *crazy*!!

I got curious and had to google. Interestingly enough

Washington State does offer the convict a choice between lethal injection and hanging, apparently.

Anyway, I so enjoy your ep recaps with all the lovely piccies - they're nice reminders of why this fandom is so fascinating! *g* Thanks for doing these!

Wow! Thanks for researchin that, Polly!! That's really...OMG, what a plot bunny there--because can you imagine Blair dealing with his first capital case. And maybe the guy opts for hanging...wow. Of course.

Because, on following your link, I find that they executed someone in 1994 and 1998 and 2001.

I'm glad you enjoy the episode notes and piccies! I really love doing it and I love the episode discussions!

Totally agree on the stupidity of not being able to say it was army money; they knew he was out there; they can't have thought he was working for free. Tchah.

Jim in Vice with the earring an dthe attitude was jaw-dropping. I can only compare it to the episode of Buffy, Fool For Love, when we flashback to Victorian times and see William the gentle poet who is going to be Spike.

And you got some lovely caps of the car hand porn :;contented sigh::

Sadly a very lame note in an otherise awesome episode. It doesn't wreck it for me, but it does deeply mar it--like a visible flaw in an otherwise gorgeous diamond or something.

Jaw-dropping good or Jaw-dropping bad?? (I've never seen the Buffy episode you're referring to--so I'm not sure.) I personally find VillagePeople!Jim almost as wincingly awful as the elevator macarena in Dead Drop...

And the soul patch and moustache are just ... *shudder*!!

The car hand porn is a lovely thing though. :)

[janedavitt]

Jaw droppingly OMG, what were you thinking ::g:: But Also in the sense that it gave us a whole new layer to him because he wasn't in Vice by then and he still kept it up so...

And we got to see the ball bouncing at an earlier stage; that really is one of his more irritating acting out habits.

[mab_browne]

I just had a thought, that this is a coping mechanism used by Steve McQueen's character in The Great Escape. RB injoke somewhere maybe?

[betagoddess]

Once again, I'm really loving your episode comments! What a fun way to relive an episode for me. *g*

And one can never get enough screencaps of the pretty! =>}

Thanks for posting! I really enjoyed this! =>}

[sara_merry99]

Yay!! I'm so glad you enjoy them! I have a *ton* of fun and I really love the episode discussions that come out of them!

(I've streamlined the screencapping a *lot* so I can get a lot more of each episode in the same amount of time. :) )

[betagoddess]

Cool.

How does one streamline screencapping? Just wondering. =>}

[sara_merry99]

Well, I think I was doing it the dumb way before--so I was having it save the screencaps to the clipboard, then I'd have to go to my image editor, paste the clipboard into a blank picture, save that--and I usually saved them with descriptive names (ha) like Pretty Blair 1 or Jim scowling. So then when I went and did the posting I had to find the *right* pic of pretty Blair to put in the right spots. And I uploaded each of them individually.

Now I have it automatically save the files as BMPs, use a batch converter to turn the whole lot of them into PNGs and then use a batch uploader to upload them. They're numbered rather than named so I just add them to the post in order. It goes much more quickly both at the taking the screencaps end of things and at the assembling the final post end.
