A “Season Finale” to Forget
Was it just me or was last night’s episode, “Ride Along” just a series of bad cliches? I know that it was not meant to be a season finale, but the only thing that the finale had going for it was that maybe there is a mole in the department…maybe.
Cliche #1: Overzealous reporter from New York, of course. Add that she is “checking in on New Orleans” and we have a superbad cliche.
Cliche #2: Witness killed by drug dealer. No!
Cliche #3: Reporter decides to write a story called “Everyday Heroes.” No wonder she gets the “good” assignments.
Cliche #4: Reporter’s story gets re-written by editor, and someone gets killed for it. Come on! That’s just a (excuse the pun) cop-out.
I think the cat’s sub-plot was the best part of the episode.
And did anyone else notice that the question about Love Tap’s nickname came up, and dismissed as a “long story.” Dammit, I want answers. Wait, maybe that is the hook to get me to watch K-Ville again. Not the mole, not the possibility of Cobb being found out, it’s the nicknames. Genius!
Anyway, I will now have plenty of time to re-hash this weaker-than-most episode, but first let me just say how much I disliked the guest star playing the reporter. I cannot find her name, but what a crappy actress. It’s too bad because I have heretofore been impressed with most of the actors brought in for this show. I really wanted her to get shot during that scene when the team went after Caveman.
Yeah, I love it. A character named Caveman.
No, not that one. But if he showed up on K-Ville, well, that would be a great episode I am sure. Maybe the Teen Angels could show up, too.
K-Ville, New York, New Orleans, Caveman, Teen Angels
