I got sucked back into the story when...

A counter-point to Kyt's thread about getting kicked out. Here's those edge of your seat moments when you forgot to blink.

From Seoul Man:
"Is that how they did detective work when you were coming up, Jim, because I don't--"









"Come on, man, what'sa matter witchoo?"

There are many, but one of my favourite moments occurs in Fancy Footwork when Jim gives up the gun. The emotion on RE/Jim's face is very powerful. You know and experience--at least I did--every emotion he is feeling at that moment. Although there is no screencap, it starts when he pushes the gun to the back of his locker. The slight hesitation in doing so, along with the long walk to the locker room, shows us that he has made that important but difficult decision. I know I've said all this before, but.....it's very emotional.

Another emotional moment:



In Marlon's Brando, Jim admits for the first time that there is nothing he could've done if Karen had been hurt.

Then there are the humorous moments that may not keep you on the edge of your seat, but are still enjoyable after who knows how many viewings.

One is Jim's "Your black?" routine.

Here is the rest of what I call "Giving It Up" scene. Together with what he is able to convey through the expression on his face, so much more is conveyed through the touch of his hand; a heart-wrenching and stunning piece of interpretation and acting by Ron Eldard.

In "Up on the Roof," I was kicked out of the story briefly by the doctor's bad line and bad acting, but I was sucked right back in by the Jim and Terry scene that followed, and Jim's near-meltdown in Galloway's office:

I can't say that I have ever really been kicked out of Blind Justice -there have been moments that I have found more than a little "uncomfortable" and there have been moments where I have wondered what the writers were thinking. But if I had to pick a moment that sucked me back in again, it would have been very early - at the end of Four Feet Under. Another incredibly moving scene, all of it conveyed without words, just expression and how well conveyed it is!

Three scenes really do it for me, and interestingly, they all involve Christy.

I really love the tension and emotion that comes through the screen and hits you like a brick, therefore:

1 - The "I'm just clumsy" argument coming home from Clay's party after dumping the beer in Christy's lap.

2 - In the Pilot: Jim comes home after the first day and gets grilled by Christy. "You wanna do this now? You wanna do this today?"

3 - The Da Vinci Code moment as Jim (looking so fine in the doorway)tries to thaw a frigid Christy.
