ks-
Glad you started this topic. I noticed, too, that Magda's little boy looked different...maybe a little more hispanic looking?
Anyway, here are my comments*(note I really did enjoy the 'Kidnapping' episode. Anything negative is just constructive criticism on my part.):
1) I never realized there were so many palm trees in San Francisco. Of course, it's been a while since I've been up there.
2) The cases so far have been easy to figure out. We didn't know who had the baby at the end but it was obvious that the kidnapper's girlfriend had the information.
3) Ok, here is an opinion I know will be unpopular but here goes.....Nancy is playing a messed up character in Jinny and she deserved the butt chewing she got from the Captain at the end of the episode. Jinny put herself and Magda in danger along with the other officers that were at that stakeout. It wasn't Jinny's call to storm in at that time. I think the captain has to take responsibility for the other officers and, too, I think that if she had made such a bad call years ago when she was probably one of the very few woman detectives on the force she would've been fired without getting any reprieves. Jinny doesn't understand yet that women have had to fight to make it in men's professions and she should be more respectful of the Captain who had to pay the dues so that women like Jinny could be detectives on the force today. Jinny shouldn't be disrespecting her Captain with age jokes. (note: I missed some of their bantering because of my phone ringing, pizza delivery man, etc.
Anyway, Nancy seems so nice and smart in her interviews that it just seems weird to see her play such a screw up on this show. I think I read in an interview that even Nancy said her Division character was 'screwed up'.
4) I like the Magda character but I couldn't help but think that she is definitely a 'Lifetime-Television for Women' type character that lets you know that this show is definitely made for women viewers. I can't explain it but she is definitely the sensitive one hugging the mother and worrying about her son. She is a character that women with children can relate to. Her being bilingual kinda crosses the ethnic lines, too, which is good.
5) C.D. and Angela rock. I am really enjoying this pairing. Good chemistry. I am interested to find out more about both of their private lives.
6) I understand that the baby kidnapping episode was actually episode #5. In that case, what happened to episode #4?
Hmmmm, that's all I can think of for now.
