Jamie Bamber News

Tricia: At the wrap party with my bros!!

@trutriciahelfer has, once again, come through for us with this FABULOUS picture from the 17th Precinct wrap party. Now, we sit back and hope we get many more such photos of them. :)

Title: Cold Case, "Blood On the Tracks" (Episode 4x15)
Original Airdate: February 18, 2007
Availability: Season 4 is now on DVD.

Synopsis: When traces of an explosive are found in a house that's being rennovated, the Cold Case team re-opens the 1981 case of a married couple (Jamie Bamber and Kelly Overton) who died in the same house in what was then ruled as an accidental gas leak. Through gradual revelations about a reunion of college friends which happened just prior to the explosion, we discover a conspiracy to cover up a murder... but who has the motive?

Worth Watching?: A big yes. I've actually been looking forward to this edition of CotM for a while; despite the basic premise making me slightly twitchy (Whyyy must he always be the victim in these CBS procedural guest shots? I see you, Ghost Whisperer!), this one is easily superior to that other one. For the most part it's a twisty, watchable whodunit, and Jamie's character - despite having done some deeply horrible things - is right up my alley. On a shallow level, he also looks fantastic. (Though I should probably warn anyone currently afflicted with the rash of sideburns-allergies going around, you might have to avert your eyes on occasion... ;) )

Does he live or die? Dashing political idealist turned suburban hubby Jamie is dead before the opening credits roll, so that's not a spoiler. :( But if he weren't, we wouldn't have an episode... hang in there, folks, and venture behind the cut...
