Cold Case S03E04 – Colors HD Screencaps

Ooops. I made a mistake last week in posting the winner from a poll that hadn’t actually closed at the time. I meant to post this one last week. The end result wasn’t effected, just the order of posting. Sorry.

So, where was I? Or, where should I have been? Ah yes, Colors.

American dramas such as Cold Case really like their baseball themed episodes don’t they? I can see they are a rich vein for stories as it is an American national sport and is played by everyone from young children to highly paid professional athletes. There is lots of scope for tales of improving ones circumstances (aka ‘The American Dream’™) and over-coming adversity. They also allow for exploring the darker elements of jealous, hate and greed as well.

Colors presents the case of a murdered young black baseball player from 1945. Clyde Taylor had been very successful in the segregated Negro leagues and was on the verge of moving to the majors, a big issue in those days. 60 years on can the squad track down his killer?

If only they’d ended the episode (number of four of Cold Case season three) with a montage of the police team playing baseball… Oh well, maybe later

We didn’t quite crack the century with this set of 99 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps for the KM UK Summer Of HD 2014 now in the Gallery.

Morris-oboshi Master

To quote Monty Python: And now for something completely different.

Well, slightly different… ish.

I thought that today, what with it being a Friday, was a good day to post something a little more unusual.

What you see on the right is a sketch of Kathryn done in pastels by artist Dan Moroboshi. I found it on the Flickr photo-sharing website and asked Dan if would allow me to share it with you all here on KM UK. He generously agreed. Thank you Dan.

You can find more of Dan’s work on his Flickr page here.

And you can find a large-sized copy of the sketch in the Drawings section of KM UK’s Fan Art in our Gallery here.

If you would like to see your own Kathryn-themed work posted on this site then please contact me, we’d love to see what you can do.

In case you didn’t get it the subject is supposed to be a play on the name of the (currently) popular kids toy Moshi Monsters. Kids today don’t know how lucky they are… In my day I had to work 25 hours a day and eat gravel… Gravel? You were lucky. We had to eat poison… What? You try coming up with witty and relevant subject lines!

Cold Case S03E11 – 8 Years HD Screencaps

Early in 8 Years, episode 11 of Cold Case‘s third season, Lt. John Stillman makes a bit of a joke about Olivia, Lilly’s one eyed cat (see above). Karmic retribution comes swiftly as John’s ex-wife Rita makes a surprise visit to the station. Did anyone notice a certain similarity?

Speaking of the boss, 8 Years was one of the handful of CC episodes to contain music by a single artist. In this instance the plot was worked around the songs by Bruce “The Boss” Springsteen. I’m not au fait with this young person music but I gather it is popular. Quite how it fits in with a crime that occurred way back in 1988 I can’t imagine

This must also be one of the few episodes of CC to include the title in the opening sequence when it shows time has passed with the caption “8 Years Later”. The gap shows how the lives of four close friends have changed and culminated in the death of one of them.

After revisting the past to solve the case the show ends with various squad members revisiting the past in the own lives. John meet his ex, Nick (Jeremy Ratchford) succumbs to temptation, and as for Lilly… Her reminiscing with a witness about a wild/romantic interlude in her past gets her thumbing through the photo album. Who could the shy be-helmeted gentleman be?

This latest post as part of the KM UK Summer Of HD 2014 brings us 127 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps in the Gallery.

Update: Ooops. I jumped the gun. I was supposed to post the most recent poll winner, which was Colors, here. That will be posted next week now.

Emmy Awards 2004 Arrivals Photo Update

The nominations for the 2014 Primetime Emmy Awards were announced yesterday.

Several things were notable by their absence. Cold Case, Kathryn and KM UK. Of course, only two of those things were ever actually eligible for an Emmy, and just one of them was ever nominated. Cold Case was up for an “Art Direction” trophy for Factory Girls (S02E02) back in 2005.

But we’re not bitter. Oh, no 😕

The 2014 nominations for the awards ceremony to be held in late August include a lot of British actors and shows, Downton Abbey being probably the best known around the world. Comedian Ricky Gervais’ is listed for his work in the often very moving comedy drama Derek. Michelle Dockery, Jim Carter, Maggie Smith and Joanne Froggatt (all of Downton Abbey); Chiwetel Ejiofor (Dancing On The Edge), Diana Rigg (Game Of Thrones), Martin Freeman (Fargo and Sherlock), Helena Bonham Carter (Burton And Taylor), Idris Elba (Luther), Daniel Craig (One Life), Alfred Molina (The Normal Heart), Cat Deeley (So You Think You Can Dance), Jeremy Irons (Game Of Lions), Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock Holmes), and Minnie Driver (Return To Zero) all gets nods. As do the shows Luther, The White Queen, Sherlock Holmes and Downton Abbey.

As we often struggle to win things directly here in the UK (see the results in the recent World Cup and Wimbledon) we like to try and latch onto any success we can by association. There are lots of connections with the United Kingdom throughout the Emmy nominations list this year. As covered in some depth here on KM UK recently Veep has a lot of British input. Game Of Thrones is largely filmed with the Northern Ireland. Episodes is a UK/USA co-production mostly filmed in England. House Of Cards is based on a British drama series and we’ve half adopted its star Kevin Spacey as he’s been here a few years running the Old Vic theatre in London. Dancing With The Stars, Antiques Roadshow and Who Do You Think You Are? we’ll claim too as they are exported BBC properties.

Looking down the full list of nominations I’m surprised to see multiple awards shows (Golden Globes and Tonys) up for awards. Isn’t there a danger that awards shows giving other awards shows award will cause some rift in the space-time continuum and cause a blackhole or something 😮 It just sounds like a bad idea.

No doubt you have your own thoughts on the 2014 Primatime Emmy Awards nominations. Good, bad, indifferent?

Where was I? Oh, yes. Back in September of 2004 Kathryn attended the Primetime Emmy Awards. We’ve covered it before here on KM UK, and we will do again, but for now but yesterday’s announcements seemed like very good excuse (not that we need one really) to revisit this event and bring you 30, yes thirty, extra photos of Kathryn arriving at the event. She looks amazing in her long red dress.

I’d like draw your attention in particular to the image in the top right of this post. It was kindly donate to KM UK by our friend Alexia over at Emilia Fox Online. Many thanks to her. It’s a nice large image, which is nice, and large.

The Gallery is where you will find them all.
