[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 440898, member: 8"] I watched this episode tonight and I was very impressed with how she handled her few scenes. It wasn't much but it had to be spot on, and she did that. Imagine not knowing anything about your character and the first thing you have to perform is a moment of extreme shock and emotion. Her introduction as the wife returning from a faraway place is quite dramatic: it's not just the landing of a plane, it shows a close-up POV of the wheels touching the ground, kinda like the vehicle equivalent of "female feet first". It's the kind of scene that could have been used during Blake Carrington's trial when they are waiting for the surprise witness to arrive. Speaking of vehicles, I hated the mini-supporting role character who wanted to buy an ice cream at the most inconvenient time. Partially because I'm "in cahoots" with the killer, I want the crime to be as perfect as possible, but also because there is a sense of entitlement in the way she demands to buy an ice cream. Not a desire, a [I]necessity[/I]. Honestly, I would have put the van in reverse and run her over. It was a techno-heavy story and I thought the distortion of the radio sound caused by the bugged telephones would reveal the big thing but it turned out to be some clock I hadn't even noticed before. Everything in this episode looks like "because Columbo says so" and he says a lot about a lot of things. But maybe that proves he's the kind of husband who actually listens to [U]everything[/U] his wife has to say. Oh well, you probably don't remember any of this so I'm not expecting a response or anything. I'm watching Columbo while I'm waiting for some DVDs to arrive, flown in dramatically from a faraway country [SIZE=3](unfortunately, it's not Australia).[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
