[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 287361, member: 23"] Completely understandable. It would make the list for me as well. I feel I lost any kind of objectivity around that because it was marketed as a [I]Columbo[/I]. The way I feel having watched it is that I wouldn't want to watch it even without Columbo, but that could be sour grapes on my part. Or perhaps it's just not my kind of thing. Absolutely. I'm bewildered by them recycling two Ed McBain stories when they have a team of writers and only one or two episodes per year to create at this point. You'd think with so little quantity it would help them produce quality. Agreed. She stole the show, and was the only thing that stopped me losing the will to live entirely during the second half of the episode. I'm not sure if your earlier comments were at the back of my mind sub-consciously, but as I watched it did cross my mind too that this looked like a kiss between two actor friends rather than between the characters. Considering her character's alcohol dependency and the fact that she seemed a bit tipsy she'd certainly fall into the "vulnerable" category, which makes Columbo's actions seem even more questionable. Very true. And I think they gave it their best shot at making an episode that broke all the rules. [/QUOTE]
