[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 285346, member: 23"] Yes. Part of the reason I described them as "frighteningly convincing" is because I could see in them a certain type of person that actually exists. The way they really got into - and seemed to enjoy - the deception, justifying it all along the way is scarily real. We hear about Coop and Justins every day in the news. It's definitely the kind of situation I can believe Columbo coming up against as he enters the Nineties. And I liked that it was the old dinosaur versus the young whippersnappers. I agree it worked well, and made for a slightly different way of storytelling. But this was also something I found off-putting by virtue of the fact that it [I]was[/I] different. Yes, that makes sense. Absolutely. If I had to pick a favourite recurring killer on the series it would probably be Robert Culp. But of course I love them all in different ways. And I still have a few returnees to come, including one in the next episode!! Oh yes. That sprang to mind for me as well. In fact there were two of us watching last night, and both of us had thought of that scene in Columbo's rented flat. Even the dialogue was similar, with him holding up the photograph of a relative. It was a really nice touch. [/QUOTE]
