Tony's character was impossible to peg and I also figured they'd follow up with him being innocent, possibly covering for his little brother who did it by accident, until his attempted assassination of a priest in the confessional!!! This revelation, coupled with his behavior at the funeral of the guy he killed, pretty much indicated the guy was the lowest form of humanity on the planet, making Al's revelation (discovered through Ziggy) that Tony spent some time in prison but went on to clean up his life, pretty anticlimactic. If he's a cold-blooded murderer, shouldn't we as an audience want to see him locked up in prison for life?!?! Agreed that Al's cynicism about the church needed some prior development for it to work as well as it could have in his moment of revelation at the end. The tortured drunken Irish priest played by Sandy McPeak (something about his appearance seemed dramatically different here than "Bushmaster") was also a bit of a cliché. Below-average episode definitely....between "Sea Bride" and "Blind Faith" for me.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953380288384883179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-38464580806179931992016-07-17T16:01:55.469-05:002016-07-17T16:01:55.469-05:00I'd say it wasn't really represented corre...I'd say it wasn't really represented correctly or incorrectly -- they didn't do much to make it distinctly Philadelphia compared to any other urban area, though that didn't bother me because I didn't expect them to. They did have a quick shot of Independence Hall and touched on the boxing culture there.Nicholas Sweedohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00437092592253460266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788875373841955612.post-85350239989603385562016-07-17T14:28:56.353-05:002016-07-17T14:28:56.353-05:00I... don't remember any of this episode at all...I... don't remember any of this episode at all.<br /><br />Though, I should ask - did Philly get represented correctly in QL? B/c the little city I lived in in VA got rep'd all sorts of wrong in an episode of NCIS. They went there, but clearly no one did any actual research and just picked a random VA city, learned it had a Wal-Mart (or assumed it had one) and went about their day. Google maps were awesome enough at the time of that episode that a GoogleEarth search or street view would've told them what they needed to know.
