Watching KVille

I had a meeting run late, so I missed the first half of K-Ville last night, but I had my BF takes notes, and isn’t that sweet? I walked into Boulet trying to get the C4 plastic explosives out of the evidence room without the lame white guy from Minnesota knowing what he was doing. I’m glad that K-Ville wants to inject a little humour into the show every now and then, but does it have to be so cliched ALL the time? And I am getting a little sick of the gumbo-as-a-prop issue. Just because it’s New Orleans doesn’t mean that gumbo is the only food stuff consumed? Where’s the alligator?

All in all, I have to give it up to the writing department (and I never anticipated doing this), but it was a fairly solid script in that I came in half-way and I didn’t have a hard time figuring out what was going on. Cole Hauser got to act a little, although the clutching the sailboat necklace at the end was hokey. I like Cole Hauser, and I finally figured out that I have seen him before in among other things, Tigerland. Great movie if you haven’t seen it. Well, ok, pretty good.

Hurray for K-Ville using the underworld connections of Cobb to 1) develop a plot and 2) give us more Trevor Cobb backstory.

And is it just me or is this guy ever going to get laid?

And I liked the “Gardenia Affair” of Boulet’s wife. Though I didn’t quite get how that guy (who was kinda hot) accused Boulet of abandoning his family because he sent them to Atlanta. Even if he didn’t “send” them, who was paying their bills? Give the guy a break. New Orleans was devastated, it’s his home town, he got his wife and child to safety, and he stayed behind to help, rather than jump ship. Seems like the right thing to do to me. If anything, it’s the lecherous elementary school teacher that hits on married women that comes across as a jerk to me. Beware those teaching lotharios, ladies…even if they do pay attention to what your favorite flower is.
