I enjoyed this episode and its approach to the controversial issue of capital punishment (well "enjoyed" is probably not the right word... but you know what I mean). I liked how Fontana applied it to two very different types of criminals (Keane the religious, remorseful killer vs. L'Italien the unrepentant, violent serial killer), consequently ( Read more... )

This episode seemed a little slower compared to the first two. Maybe that's because it's more of a transitional episode, where not much is going on? Or maybe it's just because the first two episodes made such an powerful impression ( Read more... )

Woot! I am back! From a very long, very busy vacation! Actually, considering the GO-GO-GO nature of our trip, maybe "rested" is not the right word... rejuvenated is probably better ( Read more... )

Tom Fontana recently gave an interview to The Paley Center for Media in which he talks about the infamous snow globe ending to St. Elsewhere (which was 30 years ago, YIKES). It's a good read if you watched the show, or even if you simply enjoy Fontana's works:

Both Eamonn Walker and Chris Meloni attended the NBC Universal Upfronts in NYC yesterday (Eamonn to promote Chicago Fire, and Chris to promote Happy), and footage of them reuniting was inadvertantly filmed while Meloni's co-star Patton Oswalt was doing an interview nearby. The two of them hug each other like 10 times during the course of the one- ( Read more... )
