So, this is one I was let down by. The acting and chemistry of the actors continues to impress me but I simply couldn’t get behind the math of this one. Considering how I barely skimmed the math I needed for this degree I’m working on, it amuses me at what trouble I have with the disbelief needed for this show.
I enjoyed the show, I miss what’s-her-name and dislike her replacement, though Don’s new love interest is indeed quite the hottie…
I only saw this a few times last season and I don’t know where all these chicks came from. Were some of them on last season? What happened to Sabrina Lloyd, did she get a better offer?
I thought the women were all rather distracting - I’m a straight female and I mean that in a “who are these characters and why should I even care?” kinda way. The one girl had a strange way of speaking and a lisp* that was even more distracting because I kept trying to catch her lisping.
Anyway, they get to the end of the episode and I thought “man, that was dumb.” It made no sense to me that the widow of the cop would have the judges wife killed to encourage the judge not to give the killer and new trial and also to teach him what it feels like to lose someone. Er … if you can arrange a contract killing why not just arrange for someone to kill the guy in prison, since he’s the one that messed up your life?
So I was not impressed and I doubt I will be watching many more episodes of it this season.
[sub]*Not that there is anything wrong with having a lisp. I currently have one due to a recent surgery on my tongue so it was kind of nice to see someone with a lisp getting acting jobs, but it was still distracting for me.[/sub]
Lloyd left to do a pilot that wasn’t picked up.
As for the other chicks, Diane Farr is Lloyd’s replacement. Navi Rawat appeared in several episodes of the first season; she has been promoted to the opening montage for this season.
Very, very disappointing. It was hard to believe this was the same series from the spring. In that, the math was generally integral to the plot; in this, it was just a side issue (and the idea of a Baysean filter didn’t make all that much sense). And there was certainly less byplay among the characters. Judd Hirsch did absolutely nothing. And what was with the yellow-orange tones to all the light?
It really played like CSI: Math. All the elements that made CSI work were there, but there were none of the elements that made Numb3rs good.
Very disappointing.
