He played FBI agent Colby Granger on 'Numb3ers', which is why I was totally shocked by the twist. Chris guest starred one or two episodes on Numb3ers too. (In my mind the two shows take place in the same universe. Whenever Colby missed an episode, I pretended he was fly fishing with his brother in Maine. Maybe that's where Walt and Sarah are, staying with Colby in L.A.)<br /><br />I thought Chris did a great job directing here. It was a great episode. Good camera work, lots of atmosphere. I'll have to imdb to see if he's directed anything else. He seems to have a knack.<br /><br />I had a few issues too, like why they shut the road down entirely instead of searching vehicles at a checkpoint and then moving them through and why the traffic started moving again if he hadn't been caught, but maybe that wasn't the real reason for the jam. I lived on the I95 corridor for 15 years. One time 2 tankers collided and exploded and melted the highway. That'll stop traffic!<br /><br />But those minor issues with the set up were way more than made up for by the episode. It kept me puzzling right up to the end, totally got me with that twist, and I loved all the extras. Bikers, teenagers, hippies, drunk yokels, and the way they all came together. I mean free ice-cream and Bruce, what more could you want? _kes<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
