Life: "Hit Me Baby" 2/25 - Grading & Discussion

[Aragorn]

Spoiler: Hit Me Baby

Crews investigates a brutally murdered man, and it leads him all the way to Claudia, an uncatchable hit woman. Meanwhile, Reese is polygraphed by the FBI before joining a Task Force.

 

[Othello]

Oh.. she's smoking hot....

I really wish they would have let the hit woman get away. She could have been a great recurring villan.....

 

[TGTheodore]

And now she has the loose clothing and behind the table shots to hide the baby. But she's STILL hot!

Poor Ted ... after the time he took down all the photos in the secret room to save his friend, a British puffer ends up photographing them.

--Ted (not THAT Ted)

I really enjoyed this episode. It felt more like first season Life than the show has felt in a while. I think the conversation with the Indian tech support lady was a lovely touch and very in-character for Charlie. It was good to see his old partner get some play. I missed Dani, but if they do something interesting with her being pulled aside (as it seems they intend to), then I look forward to what comes next.

One element I didn't care for was the stereotypical weird twins who finish each other's sentences and have abnormal social skills, no fashion sense, and off-the-wall hobbies.

That's a really specific stereotype.



Anyway, I enjoyed last night's episode, especially Bobby's discomfort at bein' in a suit instead of his uniform, and pouncin' on the most obvious question durin' interrogation, instead of leadin' up to it.

The conversation with tech support kind of threw me, but I got it.

Kind of surprised that the guy turned out to be "the competition" in the end. Did not see that comin'.

For a second there, I was a Crews/Hitwoman shipper.

Okay, so the off-the-wall hobbies isn't an element every time. But I have seen MANY times the stereotype of twins who always dress alike and talk like they have one brain. I'm not a twin, but if I were, I think I would find it insulting. It's like twins are never a part of a story unless the plot calls for a switcheroo/mistaken identity or weirdos.

I was even more surprised that Cruise didn't care to investigate who the "target" was (or did I miss that?) - I'm pretty sure we'll never hear about this again.

The dead guy was the target. Charlie found his killer.

If the dead guy had a target of his own, that guy, whoever he was, was no longer in danger.

I agree. It was a great little side-story.

Yeah, marks have to be taken off for that one. Overall I really enjoyed the episode though. This is definitely one of my must see TV shows.

 

[Sakrysta]

And I just have to say how THRILLED I have been that both Constance and Charlie's ex-wife have been invisible for weeks. Perfectly fine with those plot threads disappearing completely.

By the way, does anyone know who did that cover of the Britney Spears song? It wasn't too bad.

 

[Aragorn]

I don't remember the song in the episode. Is it Travis?

 

[TheSeeker]

^Yup, that was it!
