[QUOTE="Seaviewer, post: 87102, member: 57"] It's impossible to recall what that would have felt like at the time. Watching it now, I knew where it was going to end because I've read that the WTC was deliberately built across from Miss Liberty I guess for just that effect. More recent history is now forever overlaid on that view. This episode continues the style of the last with the strike and the case being used to reveal more of the relationships and backstories. It occurs to me that in that sense this season is really "the true beginning". Until now the characters may have been superbly drawn and acted but here is where they became real and we started to fall in love with them. A couple of continuity nitpicks: Cagney needs the concept of a task force explained to her despite having headed one in "Beauty Burglars" and when she has to wear her uniform she says she had vowed never to put it on again, yet it didn't seem to bother her in "Jane Doe #37". Conversely, it was nice to hear Isbecki say that he and Petrie had been partners for a year and a half since that tied in with my observation that they didn't seem to be together at first. A shame that there was no specific acknowledgment of their being teamed up. [/QUOTE]
