The show's stature as a refined "The First 48" continues with this episode.
Clean lines again in the investigation due to excellent film editing... and lots of lucky tips received by the detectives. More interesting insights for viewers; this time - if a detective asks a person about gang membership, "Are you a Blood?", a true Blood must answer "Yes" by the gang's code.
Forensics are excellent again. (Did you know that the tank for test firing a gun contains 900 gallons of water?) I particularly appreciated the detailed explanation about fingerprint analysis.
What new impressions appeared with this episode?
* Detective Walley Everett never fails to blurt out quotable lines. He's a stellar homicide detective... with a mouth.
* Another black-on-black murder, just like "The First 48". It really looks as though homicide reality shows have consciously divided up territory with NBC's "Dateline" and CBS's "48 Hours" taking the white, middle-class-or-higher murders.
In the end, I rated the episode "9" rather than "10" because the suspect's ultimate motive was not clearly stated.
