Cold Case S03E09 – A Perfect Day HD Screencaps

A Perfect Day is often cited as one of the fan’s favourite Cold Case episodes. The US audience figures from the original broadcast back that up with the episode getting over 19 million viewers, the highest the series ever got. That said, there seemed to be a rise in the figures at that time of year (late November) most years. My guess would be in coincided with the Thanksgiving holidays, with lots of people at home with family.

A Perfect Day is a perfect storm for Lilly as it includes young sisters with a mother struggling in an abusive relationship. With her own experience, and the likely reasons she became a police officer, Det Rush is always going to be touched by a story like this one. Meredith Monroe (probably best known for playing the troubled Andie McPhee on Dawson’s Creek) is the mother in 1965. It is one of her daughters whose body is found in the present day (2005). It’s a heart wrencher.

On a positive note Detective Kat Miller (as played by Tracie Thoms) gets offered a permanent position with the squad by Lt. Stillman in this one, having helped out in the previous episode/case Honor.

This, the latest entry in the KM UK Summer Of HD 2014 brings 203 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps to the Gallery.

Cold Case S03E02 – The Promise Full HD Screencaps

Lilly Goes To College… Sadly it is not a 21/22 Jump Street-style caper or a… romp 😉

This one hardly counts as a cold case, the embers were practically still warm. The 2004 case of a college freshman’s death in a fire at a fraternity house happened just a year before the re-investigation. The CC squad take up the chase after the student’s father brings them evidence suggesting that his daughter died in far more suspicious and horrible circumstances.

It’s a bumper crop this week for our Summer Of HD with 141 Full HD (1080p) Lilly screencaps, 4 on set photos and 6 promo photos from The Promise. They are all in the Gallery.

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.

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.

Cold Case S03E01 – Family Full HD Screencaps

Ten weeks into this thing and we finally reach the beginning.

Yes, we’re covering the Cold Case season 3 opener ‘Family’ this time.

A teenager has a possible new lead on the murder of her own father, a teenager himself, who died the day she was born in 1988. After being abandoned by her mother that night the girl has been in the foster system her whole life. Questions are raised about whether the victim was her father. Meanwhile Lilly’s back to work after the funeral of George Marks, the serial killer from the latter half of season 2. Could this case bring up Lilly’s own parent-related issues.

Speaking of family, the squad find a change to theirs as new detective Josie Sutton (Sarah Brown) joins them. There are rumours about the reasons she left her previous assignment and Vera (Jeremy Ratchford) is spreading them. Scotty, however, is the one that wants to ‘spread ’em’ 😉 Sarah only lasted 4 more episodes before her character was written out. Since Cold Case Sarah has appeared in various films and TV shows including Castle and CSI, with periods on soaps The Bold And The Beautiful and Days Of Our Lives, as well as a return stint on General Hospital. Appropriately, given the weekend’s Wimbledon finals, Nick wants “new balls please” as a tennis-playing witness gets a little flirty.

Who is the father? Who’s the killer? Will mum and daughter reconcile? And what about the creepy nurse?
