Season 7, Episode 12
7/10
Mo Rocca to short time
5 July 2021
When I saw Mo Rocca as the "Reporter" his Documentaries flooded my head. Foodogrraphy, Ford innoventions etc. His Info shows are always fun, and filled with information. I was really looking fwd to his charachter, sadly it didn't last long. Esp his shows are of being Healthy Lifestyle so him being a Chimney Smoker Character was the only part that threw me off. Every Show with him in it, his name makes me feel I need to eat "Rocca" Chocolate ... "Mo" of it. I paused the Show to look his profile up. Sadly, IMDb had all of his "Info" shows under "Self Listed". Due to when I saw the original list the Shows I know him well were not there. I started to think, most other actors/etc Profiles usually have their "Self Listed" in with the regular show lists right? Maybe I am wrong?

Being a First Gulf (Shield/Storm) Veteran the C4 style flooded some some things I didn't want to remember. What is weird this episode says the way Mo's Character Reporter is Killed ... "The NYPD Bomb Expert" says that the way the bomb was designed was in Middle East and not seen in the US. The Closest I can remember similar in the Gulf was the Bombs in Dolls, and other kid toys to the point everyone needed to be trained NOT to pick up the "Cute" stuff. So unsure what "History" that "Bomb Expert" knew? Even Kids either had guns, or were the Bombs. The "Cute" stuff usually had a String not a Button to go off. My USMC unit trained often with SWAT stateside, and lot of "Button" bombs were covered.

Seeing the Actress for "Plain Sight" reminded me of the Rio Rancho NM Resort Inn where they filmed in a few times. If in ABQ area it is the Place to Stay, due to the Rooms surrond a park like a Castle wall; that helps to forget the City; and it's great food resturaunt. For some reason I didn't get into that off shoot of a show, probably due to the foul language ... not about Birds/Fowl.

The "Actor" who died of a Heart "Hidden" Condition; the show looks mostly at how the ETOH/Drugs caused the Heart to "Explode" (Pun?) the M. E. should have covered how the Stumbling, lack of Focus, Hand Movement, etc could be r/t the ETOH/Drugs, but also the Heart Condition Sign/Symptoms as in Red Flags the Doctor missed who examined him while he was still alive.

The "Country Doctor" who wasn't a "M. E" should have had the Lines that "Bones" (Star Trek) used to Capt Kirk. The Idea of the Doctor time after Katrina would have made a good movie; don't see many movies about that time. This Episode is only 2yrs after Katrina.

If you came to read a Review r/t an outline of the Show, sorry too many do that. I like to reviews r/t what jumped out and shows are to (A) take us away from our so called dull lives or from our reality ... but then Most shows are "Actors" playing "US" but getting paid a Lot more pretending than those who actually do the Jobs. (B) they are also to help us either see ourselves, or others doing a Difficult Job. Memories. I would rather read Reviews of how the Show entertained, reminded them, etc. Esp during times when we are not able to have those "Chit Chats" with friends/Family etc I bet even the Actors would like to read "Real Stories" from the People who watch. The one part I wish IMDb would do, is do somethng like the ability to "Discuss" vs "Review". The "POLLS" were we are to "Discuss the Poll" never works. I gave up on clicking the "Discuss" links.
