The Big One… Oh…

In all the excitement of not being able to do anything these days I missed one of our regular anniversary posts over the weekend.

Amazingly it has been (more than) 10 years since Cold Case was last broadcast.  The series-ending back-to-back two parter episodes ‘Almost Paradise’ and ‘Shattered’ were first shown on the 2nd of May 2010, closing out a run of 7 seasons and 156 episodes.  A couple of weeks later it was made official by CBS that the show would not be returning.

Despite ending a decade ago Cold Case continues to feature here on KM UK.  We are just coming to the end of a series of promo photo updates from season 2, each posted on (nearly) the same day the episode first aired in the US plus 15 years.

And, we are still keeping up with the other main actors in the show as they continue their careers.  You can read about them in our regular monthly catch-ups.

Cold Case S02E21 – Creatures Of The Night Promo Updates

s02e21_still_005

Anyone detecting a theme with recent promo photo updates?  It’s not planned this way, honest!

I know this is a cop show, and it is not unknown for them to visit people in prison, but to make such a significant part of two episodes running smacks of carelessness.

‘Creatures Of The Night’, first broadcast 15 years ago today, is one of Cold Case‘s episodes that stands out for two reasons.  The backdrop is a performance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in the late 1970s, this means all the music is from the movie.  Secondly, the guest star is none other than Barry Bostwick, star of the very same film.  Of course, big star in key role usually means they did it!  That way they get to do the big dramatic scenes.

This time out we can bring you six more prison-themed new promotional photos that have been added to the KM UK Gallery.

No prison bars in next week’s very nice set of image, I promise.

Cold Case S02E20 – Kensington Promo Updates

still_002

This seems like a very appropriate set of images for the times we are living in.

Back in early Cold Case season one we had the episode ‘Sherry Darlin’.  In it James Hogan confessed to a murder that the squad determined he didn’t do.  He was locked up for being an accomplice in the crime with his then girlfriend, and actual murderer, Sherry.  What do you mean ‘spoiler alert’.  It’s been over 15 years!

It is not uncommon for TV cop shows to bring back killers seen previously but this was a little different.  In ‘Kensington’ James has contacted Lilly, who he clearly formed a bond with, to give information on another crime.  A relative of his died in 1985 and during a group counselling session, another inmate mentions something confesses to a minor crime which changes the course of events.

So, on the 24th April 2005 we first got to see Lilly and Scotty visit James in prison, something Scotty is less than happy about, not least because it was a long journey.  Our promo photo updates are taken from those scenes.  The first new image is not so new, but seeing as it is quite a different colouration and cropping, I thought it would be best to leave the original as well.

The 4 new photos are now in the KM UK Gallery.

Cold Case S02E19 – Strange Fruit Promo Updates

s02e19_still_003 <<<<<< 2m >>>>>> s02e19_still_001

Come on people!  You know the drill:  2 metres apart!

1963.  Remember then.  My guess is that most of you reading this (and the one writing it I hasten to add!) don’t.  Well, Will Jeffries (Thom Barry) in Cold Case does.  It was the year of his first murder… case.  He didn’t commit it!  As a young boy he found a body.  Can Lilly and the squad solve the case after all this time?  I think we all know the answer to that one.

15 years ago today (3rd April) the Cold Case episode ‘Strange Fruit’ aired for the first time in America.  To mark the occasion, as part of KM UK’s fifteen years later series, we have three new promo photos from the show to bring to you.  Find them all in Gallery.

Cold Case S02E18 – Ravaged Promo Updates

s02e18_still_002

Just the two new promo photos for this episode Cold Case, which first aired on the 27th of March 2005.  Yep that’s a whole 15 years ago today.

Outside of the scene with Lilly talking to our chief suspect in a bar, during which we see some clues about Lilly’s own history with alcohol, I don’t remember this episode very well.  I was surprised to read that ‘Ravaged’ was the name of a dog owned by one of the characters.  Feels like I missed that part completely.

The case involved the death of a young woman found covered by a layer of snow just 10 years previously.  That is quite a short time to have elapsed compared to many they re-investigate.  It did mean that, for once, the same actors could be used for both time periods.

As there are only two photos to share with you all are shown in this post.  However, you need to see the full sized version in the KM UK Gallery as they are very big and high quality.

It is good to see that Lilly and Scotty are taking the current very odd situation the world finds itself seriously and keeping some distance from each other.  To be fair the wedge that Christina drove between them was pretty big.
