The Sentinel rewatch - Siege

Or as I lovingly refer to it as - An episode of tall tales, one "obfuscation" after another. You needed a score card to keep track of all the lies going on in this one!

Let's see, there's the made-up story of why Blair wants to tag along with Jim, added onto by Jim saying that Blair is his cousin's kid and that his mom called begging him to help. (Which completely contradicts the latter seasons when you find out that Jim's mom has been gone since he was a kid)

Already we're seeing that the Cascade PD building is the most un-secure police department EVER. Geez, how many times in the course of the show did the bad guys get in the building and take over?? LOL!

This was before the days of cell phones being common (and they were as big as a brick) so things weren't as easy to get done when you couldn't call someone or look things up on the internet. I actually miss that in TV shows now - effort being put into an investigation, etc. instead of reaching for a phone.

Oh man, I LOVE Jim's Ford F150 truck SO much. It was just so….him. I mourned its loss in season two. [sniff]

Can we give props to Blair Sandburg for taking out not one, but TWO bad guys without a gun or throwing a punch? Who knew that a bathroom door and a vending machine could be so deadly! LOL!

Mmm…Jim is damn sexy in that grey t-shirt and kevlar vest. I'm just sayin'. ;-)

Ah, the famous rocket launcher scene that really did blow out about a hundred windows in downtown Vancouver. Watch closely and you'll see them shake from the explosion. The TS crew was in big trouble after that!

And here's another lie for you - "I'm Lieutenant Sandburg. Narcotics." Actually good call, Blair, with your long hair and wacky clothes. You'd fit right in!

Let's not forget one of the funniest bloopers that happens in this episode - Simon enters the stairwell with a revolver. Goes up the stairs and he's got an assault rifle. Gets to the top of the stairs and he's got the revolver again. Ha!

Oh look! There's Danny Bilson's favorite toy! A helicopter! Try having a drinking game to TS whenever you see a helicopter. You'll be under the table in no time!

And let's end the episode with yet another tall tale! "I flew Apaches in Desert Storm!" But again, nice job thinking on your feet, Blair. And you inspired a zillion fanfic stories from that one line. :-)

Did anyone else wonder when everyone found out that Blair took out those two perps single-handedly?

Gotta love the last line of the episode - "This wasn't like, a typical day for you was it?" LOL! Oh Blair, you have no idea the wild ride you're in for!

Tune in on Monday for a rewatch of Killers!

So much for a "discussion" community

Apparently the moderators of the ts_talk Sentinel community are not going to allow my post from yesterday morning since they're refusing to approve it. Seriously?? I'm sorry, I thought the whole point of the community was to DISCUSS THE SHOW. All I talked about was the pilot episode and how I got started in TS fandom. And this is apparently not allowed? Yeah I'll be removing this community from my flist ASAP.

Gee, can you tell I'm having a bad day and this was the cherry on top? I just wanted to reconnect with some Sentinel fans and I can't even do something as simple as that.
