[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 282070, member: 23"] I think the thing with favourite Columbo episodes is they can appeal in different ways. In addition to the ones you mentioned, some of my favourites would be [I]Double Exposure, A Stitch In Crime [/I]and[I] Murder By The Book[/I]. All great episodes for very different reasons. This evening I've watched another Patrick Williams scored episode* and he brings something really special to this series. As you said, it's very cinematic and makes the episode feel more expansive and classy than it would be without his touch. * [I][SIZE=3]And double-checking this, I've realised the episodes in the DVD set are in a different order to the transmission order shown on Wikipedia, and so I appear to have jumped from the first episode of the season to the fouth. [/SIZE][/I] Oh, I completely get what you mean and I think with a series like this that features ingenious murders or alibis it's fine to have a favourite one. Oh yes. She was just great and it was the same for me. In all her scenes I found myself drawn to her to see what she was going to do next. Absolutely. Abigail's little quips in that scene were just hilarious. It was, and it felt like there was some kind of closure in giving the two of them an understanding. When Columbo respects his opponent - as he does here - it feels so much more potent and significant. So am I. Definitely. I find myself wondering if they can pull it out of the hat for another winner or two before series' end. [/QUOTE]
