Numb3rs s05e21 "Disturbed" OAD 2009-05-01

My recording flickered and just stopped about 15mins in. No other recordings seem to have had this problem, so I'm not sure if it's my TiVo or cable (RCN, Boston). Actually, come to think of it I often get a lot of pixellation and jumps in Numb3rs. Last week there was a sequence where the same video repeated 5 times, then it jumped to the next scene... but while the video/audio was "skipping" CC was showing the dialog that should have been heard. Weird.

Too bad, though, it looked like this episode might be interesting. Oh well.

 

I thought it was funny when somebody else got to be Charlie the Explainer of Math.

 

They've done that before. Doesn't happen very often.



I too thought this was a good episode. More focus on the story at hand rather than the season arc drama.
A in my book.

I maintain this is the best show on tv overall in terms of story, acting etc. Charlie, Don and Dad are VERY convincing as a family. It is like watching an hour long movie every week. I also agree this and last week were really good, some of the best.

 

I like the show and watch every week. I wasn't too crazy about this episode, due to the inclusion of the extroverted conspiracy guy...

 

Numb3rs remains my guilty pleasure-- I tune in every week, it's always entertaining, not very deep, and pretty much a happy ending each week. It definitely sticks to a formula and I'm good with that.

 

I loved David going "Oh, oh, can I explain it?" and then pretty much nailing it, it really shows they've paid attention to the way you would expect Charlie's teaching over time to rub off on the guys.

I thought this was a GREAT episode. Loved the conspiracy stuff and the fact that just through numbers Charlie identified a serial killer. And the way Charlie deals with his guilt is obsessing about the number crime. Damn good stuff.

 

I thought it was a great episode. I certainly haven't given up on it. I liked all the conspiracy stuff. I think it was great Charlie was able to funnel all of his energy.

 

That part I liked. The part where he could pinpoint the house of the next attack, not so much.

Brilliant serial killer guy outwitted the police and FBI for years but he kept all that evidence in his garage or basement?

I know these shows follow a formula but I wish the bad guys would stop confessing in detail in the last five minutes. Nobody does that in the real world. They're always like "It wasn't me! I was nowhere near that dead guy. It must have been some guy who looked like me" for the next thirty years.

 

i guess it's one of those trophy things and he sure didnt use a very secure vault though did he?
