ben looked very cute

i feel sorry for lydia she is in some trouble now but im confused at the end of the episode they said that the guy that did it had pictures and everything she shouldn't be in trouble any more cause of that

I miss Nate

Poor Sammy.

Great episode. Season 3 has been absolutely amazing. Southland never disappoints.

I didn't think this episode was as great as the past few episodes we have seen. It was good, but not fantastic IMO.

I am kind of bummed that we didn't get anything on Nate's funeral. I thought we would have had a few scenes. So, I am a little disappointed. Poor Sammy! He was fantastic in this episode throughout. The scene where he went back to where the accident happened and he retold the scene was very intense. I was hoping the baby wouldn't be his, so he could just cut all ties with Tammy.

So, I guess John in bed with another guy, confirmed his sexuality for anyone that missed the clues before might not have seen that coming. Ben and John still had some great lines. Sherman was a Michael Jackson fan! So true on how everyone was glued to the tv's following his death and his funeral. Aww, very sweet when Ben picked up the child. Poor thing, eatting garbage for 3 days. Love Ben always playing/on the phone, so I thought it was funny that John picked on him for that.

Poor Lydia throughout the episode. The begining having to listen to her Mom have sex. LOL. I think Josie knows she didn't leak it either but looks almost afraid to speak up. Lydia had a strong performance again last night especially in the scene outside with Russ when she was leaving the station. How sad for her. This is her life and she wouldn't jeopardize her career for money. Did Russell seem funny to any of you? Something was off to me with him.

Next week looks very interesting with Dewey and Chickie!!

Oh, and why did we only get about 20 seconds of Ben running at the gym??? We could have seen more of that!

I didn't liked that episode much either. Not enough Ben scenes and the other story lines weren't that good IMO.

I wish we saw more of Ben in the gym as well! Also loved him in the scene with the little boy. He was so gentle. Wish there was more Ben this week!

I watched that scene like 4 or 5 times...it's amazing! Ben is so cute <3

I didn't like this episode so much too.
There was no Nate's funeral. I thought it would have been

I loved all the scenes with Sammy, so powerful, expecially when he talked to the guy who killed Nate...breathtaking!

Thank you, Jen!!!! I have been racking my brain trying to figure out which show I had seen him on before. I could not remember at all and for some reason The OC never crossed my mind. When I saw your post I remembered exactly who it was before clicking the link.

Roxuccia12 · 02-10-2011, 07:29 AM

Oh thanks Jen

swedish_girl80 · 02-10-2011, 11:34 AM
