Can they drink on the job? I doubt it!

Maybe their "shift" had ended. Sometimes witnesses are not available during thier "shift", as in this case. Then they are in their own time working to solve the case.

I think I have seen that before, and I can't remember which episode it was, but it had to do with Bobby meeting a friend of his dad's at a bar, and that gentleman is the one who asks if Eames was with him at his dad's funeral.

I can also think about another example where Capt. Deakins introduces Bobby and Alex to somebody (maybe the program about the judge's assistant being murdered) in a bar.

I remember that too, and they all had beers in front of them. I just assumed they were "off duty".

In Badge, why does Bobby use that funny accent? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like a Boston accent.

I think he's doing it because he's using it to yank Sgt. Whatherface's chain. I also think he's doing an Abby Hoffman thing (who had a Boston-y accent in Steal This Movie) because he uses the Abby Hoffman "salute".

oh, cool. I never saw that movie.

It's a little strange but I liked it. I think that's why he does that. I could be wrong though.

He wanted to drink the, I believe vodka - correct me if I am wrong, that that chef made...he ate some sauage/salami first and was offered a shot, but Eames stopped him saying "We're on duty".




Yes, I think he was just talking like that to act "street" to her... (my hubby asked me tonight, why's he talking like that...). He was asking her how she could afford private scholl on her salary. Then when she told him he lived rich, saying his suit size "doesn't go on sale much" and his "expensive leather binder", that he had "expensive hobbies"...then he said she was good and quit talking like that. Epi Badge.

Does anyone know what 'FPS' stands for?

Usually Frames Per Second.

Don't know what that had to do with the episode.

Ahh. Thanks

your very welcome. In the episode they talked about Frags per game, or something like that, I am not a programer, so maybe someone who knows about stuff like that might know better.

Something I just don't get (no matter how many times I watch), is in Prisoner. When G/E are searching the warden's office, they note that there are no pictures or awards or anything on display. Then Bobby just kind of stands there like he doesn't know what to do, until Eames tells him "Books" and he starts looking through the books. Since when does Bobby need someone to tell him where to start looking? He is usually walking around a room, touching things, picking them up. Was there something going on there that I didn't pick up on? It just seems like such an odd scene to me.

I hate that scene! It makes Goren look like an idiot savant, or mentally challenged.

I think it was done sort of tongue in cheek. The part I do like about it is that it illustrates how much Eames understands Goren, his habits & quirks. But I agree that they could have conveyed that concept a little better.

Whoa, I am watching Seizure and did you see Eames rub Carver's arm??? I have never noticed that before! What's up with that?

I don't think it is the only time. Those two are very touchy/feely

I'm trying to remember/identify which episode the following took place in. Goren and Eames are investigating a case, a clue or a link or something related back to something in the past. Eames said to Goren, "you would have been in Germany" and he said something like "yeah but I remember reading about it"
It's just a random exchange that is driving me nuts until I figure it out...

Anybody know which one it was?

I remember that exchange, but don't remember the episode. I'll have to think on it. Great! Something else to obsess over!
Welcome to the board, tate31nym! We are obsessive, but not dangerous! Well, if you don't count lollipop launchers.

Its Cuba Libre when they are talking about DP killing all those cops in the 80's I think.

.....huh, did someone say something...*sitting in chair shining up black lollipop launcher...daydreaming of Vincent*

this is one of my all-time favorite scenes! He shuffles his feet and is nervous and I guess he is making Eames crazy and you can see that while she is talking to the prison guard she looks around to find something for him to do. I found that hilarious! Maybe he wanted to listen to what the guard said but got bored. I don't know. I don't think there was any reason, it was just quite funny. I like it when Eames gets bossy

Which episode is it where Goren and Eames are sitting at the bar and Bobby says "Are we ok?" and Eames replies "I hope so .."

Oh, oh I think I know that one, it's one of the few re-runs we get here. Albatross, season 6.
If I'm right it's were Eames and Goren sorta get into a disagreement over one of the suspects or how to handle her. The lady is a politician that Eames respects but her husband is a deadbeat to put mildly. So Eames doesn't want to go after her, Goren is as usual completely, uhm, objective and has them go after the lady as a suspect. (He's right of course.)

What episode was Carver in the courtroom holding the two knives? There is a picture of it in the old opening when he was still on the show. :::sniff::: Anyone know where I can find a pic?

thats from The Good Doctor...he is asking the doctor which type of knife he would use to cut off someones arm...

Thank you.

You are welcome...I am trying to find a picture that goes with the scene...

So...I was somewhat watching the episode The Third Horseman today when I got home from work. I didn't get to see the beginning but it looked familiar to me, so I wasn't paying that much attention. I did notice Eames was all riled up about the case because of the abortion issue. Is there a reason given earlier that I missed? If I knew it once, I forgot it.

no, but I think that women in general react to the abortion theme more emotional than men

We used to have a thread about episode bloopers, but I couldn't find it, so I decided to post this here:
Has anyone ever noticed in Bright Boy that the computer in the boy's room changes? When Robby says he follows the Yankees' stats on his computer, its a white desktop. But when Eames and Bobby find the photoshopped picture on his monitor, its a black laptop.

speaking of bloopers: In poison, you can see a boom mike in the scene in Deakins' office just before they go to execute the search warrent on the chick's moms house. He says something about pommeranksi (sp) right after it happens.

I'll have to dig it out and check it out.

Did you see the way that Bobby had to it her down and face her directly (very shippy to me) to explain his stand on abortion. I think this was before she had the baby too. But I thought Eames' reaction was over the top.

I didn't think it was shippy at all. It was a very serious matter and a serious question...and he felt the need to face her to reply. Maybe he just wanted to look at her and say it and read her response?

There are loads of scenes like that in season 1..I guess they were still "getting into it".

I didn't find Eames's reaction to the abortion topic to be over reacting at all, it's a subject that touches on a lot of nerves whichever side of the fence that you sit (and i'm not about to get into an abortion debate right now, i'm just sayin'...) so i personally found her reaction interesting but also nothing out of the ordinary. We have a bit of Eames's backstory, but we don't have a complete back story. Maybe there's a reason why somewhere in her past history, maybe there isn't. I liked how Bobby stopped what he was doing, turned to face her and explained his view. It showed respect.

I love bloopers...one that sticks in my mind is 'Homini Homo Lupis' where Goren and Eames are telling the father of how many kidnapping cases he and Alex have dealt with between them. He goes to stand by Lucas Colter and is trying to get him to see sense and it's right before Deakins interrupts to tell them that the woman and her daughters have been released, but pay attention to Bobby's shirt, he has a button undone maybe halfway down. Unfortunately we don't see skin

Agree KimT - I don't think the moment was shippy, either. Abortion is a very serious subject and he wanted to reply to her without any distractions, imo.




Hi Ruby - again, I agree. He was showing her respect in response to a very serious subject and didn't want anything to distract either of them.

I also love finding bloopers - in Great Barrier there's a scene with disappearing/reappearing gloves on Bobby's hands (love those hands).

I don't think it was shippy. I think its part of Bobby's personality. He is a very personable person. He's thoughtful, warm, affectionate, sensitive...etc. So, when he acts that way, its confused for shippyness, but its not.

Agreed, Cluck - he's very attentive to whomever he is speaking with at the moment. The person that he is holding a conversation with his the focus of his attention at THAT moment and it's not at all shippy.

Yeah first he said that when he got pregnant, he'd let her know and she told him that he wasn't going to get off that easily. I think he turned and faced her aybe because he likes to talk face to face with people so he can "read" them. And he wanted her to see that he was taking her question seriously, that he knew how important the subject was to her etc.

As for Eames reaction to the subject-she often has a strong opinion on the matter but I don't think it was over the top. I think that because her character is more reserved than Goren that when she does show emotion it is almost magnified(?) I didn't say that the way I wanted to but maybe someone can understand what I was trying to say.

I gotcha!

I agree. He tried to joke with her to lighten the mood since she was obviously distressed. When she wouldn’t accept his comment he realized he needed to give a serious answer that would calm her down and let them move on with the case. It worked. Also, he likes to look people in the eye when he’s speaking seriously with them; the camera loves to zoom in on him in those moments.

and so do I!

Have to 100% agree with both of these, very well put. You were reading my mind and putting it better than I did!




LOL, don't we all??

I need to ask a question. Probably dumb because I missed something but anyway I was watching 'Blink' last night and a good episode and all but when they went to talk to the guy in the bar (I think), he said something to Goren or Eames (I can't remember) about whether Eames was at the funeral. My head popped up immediately and I rewound the DVD. I listened again but I didn't ever hear who's funeral. I am assuming that he was talking about Goren's dad's funeral but I really don't know since i am jumping all over on episodes. Can someone help me with this or explain. Is there an episode I missed something in?

yes, it was his dad's. When Eames and Bobby go to see him, Bobby tells Eames he was a friend of his father's. Thats why he knew about betting on horses. They were friends from the track I think.

Thanks. I just thought it was kinda strange that no one mentioned who's funeral it was that she was supposed to have attented. I didn't even realize that Bobby's dad was gone. I just figured he disappeared into the sunset or something.

Its not said when or how he died, but in MadHops he talks about when he had to clean out his dad's apt, and in The Wee Small Hours, the evil judge said, Even in death, Detective Goren hates his father...or something like that.

Ah I am working my way up to 'MadHops'. I have 1 more episode in season 2 then off to season 3. Wee Small Hours only seen once and that was a couple of months ago. Have to see that one again too. Okay have to see them all again. Too much at one time.

I'm still trying to learn all my eps. I started watching the reruns on USA and came in about Season 3/4 - it's hard to keep them all straight and I'm amazed when folks like JRyan, Cluck and *bug* can just ramble the ep names off the top of their head.

What drives my hubby nuts is when I can not only name the ep names, but the season and number as well... I'll be like... "OOOh, look Honey, it's your favourite episode, season 2, episode 19, Cherry Red" and he's like "now you're just showing off!" LOL
But really, when someone says, "hey do you remember the episode where..." I usually reply with "yeah, that's the ___ episode from season ___, it's called _____.
