TV Show Review: Without a Trace Season Two

The second season of Without a Trace aired in 2003 and concluded in 2004. This season like the last focused a lot on Jack Malone played by Anthony LaPaglia, but it did a decent job of trying to explore the other characters. With Jack, we got some good story progression with an exploration of his relationship with his father and the struggles he deals with in his marriage. This season there were a couple episodes that gave Danny Taylor (Enrique Murciano) and Vivian Johnson (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) the spotlight. We didn’t get that much with Samantha Spade (Poppy Montgomery), which was unfortunate, but Martin Fitzgerald (Eric Close) had some interesting stories that I hope they continue to explore next season.

TV Show Review: Cold Case Season Two

Season two of Cold Case premiered in 2004 and wrapped up in 2005. The second season does a good job of exploring the characters of the Cold Case unit. Lilly Rush and Scotty Valens like the previous season are the ones to get the most development, but this season does a good job of giving us more information about the other characters: Nick Vera, Will Jeffries, and John Stillman. This season also has more of Scotty’s relationship with his girlfriend Elisa and the ending of that relationship. They also introduce Lilly’s estranged younger sister Christina, who Lilly wants nothing to do with, but Scotty gets drawn to.
