THIRD WATCH --(9:00PM-10:00PM) --(TV-14)
"Goodbye To Camelot"
'THIRD WATCH' SERIES FINALE CLOCKS OUT IN BLAZE OF GLORY AS GANG
ATTACKS 55TH PRECINCT HOUSE; FORMER CAST MEMBERS MICHAEL BEACH, EDDIE
CIBRIAN AND KIM RAVER, RETURN WITH AIDAN QUINN AND WYCLEF JEAN AS
GUEST STARS -- The long-running crime drama's series finale concludes
in a blaze of glory when gangbangers assault the 55th Precinct station
and set it afire, trapping Sergeant Cruz (Tia Texada) and Officer
Monroe (Nia Long), and while Bosco (Jason Wiles) and other police
return fire, the future of their beloved "Camelot" house is in dire
jeoparady -- as is the life of one dedicated cop. In the confusion,
murderous gang leader Marcel (singer Wyclef Jean guest-stars) escapes,
Yokas (Molly Price) fears for her visiting daughter's (Bonnie
Dennison) safety -- and a nervous Carlos (Anthony Ruivivar) preps to
propose to Levine (guest star Yvonne Jung). In the final minutes, fans
will also learn what the future holds for their first-responder
heroes. Former cast regulars Michael Beach, Eddie Cibrian and Kim
Raver join recurring star Aidan Quinn as guest stars. Coby Bell, Cara
Buono, Josh Stewart and Skipp Sudduth also star.
Sounds a bit busy for an hour-long episode, even one that's a series
finale.
The big question - who's the "dedicated cop"? My money's on Sully.

Even if the show hadn't been cancelled, the guy who plays Bosco was
leaving the show - my money is on him.

Me too, and it made me so sad. It looked like a bunch of crap thrown together
at the last minute, to please god knows who. Guess they want to fix it, so that
those of us who love the show, will grieve less after watching stuff like this.

Did anyone notice the plot similarity to this weeks' "Without a
Trace"?
Both shows involved the supernatural. In both shows the female lead
begins as a skeptic and by the end turns to the supernatural for
solace.
I thought it was the worst Third Watch episode ever and the ending did
not make it any better in my book. I hated the whole Cruz storyline,
though I do usually like her character. I hated the Carlos/Holly story
of going to visit her parents, I hate Carlos in general but it just
seemed stupid. I despise the Faith/Bosco conflict that is currently
going on. Faith and Bosco have had their battles, but they're family.
I don't mind that she's a detective and I like the Bosco/Monroe
teaming, but I don't like Faith being all high and mighty against
Bosco. I just don't believe it going down like that. With only 3
episodes left, I hope it turns around. It sounds like there are going
to be way too many people/storylines in the finale, and I'm pretty sure
I'm going to hate it, which sucks.

I thought the episode was okay except for the ending with Cruz, which
didn't seem like her at all. I find Faith more out of character as
instant superdetective than her confrontation with Bosco. Yes, it does
sound as though the finale will be mighty busy, particularly with all
those former characters taking part.
I did, Richard, and wondered about that also. I hope that stuff on both shows
was left behind last week.
Well, I was relieved to read that we'll get to see Sully in the finale. I was
beginning to think we weren't going to see him again, at any length.

Yes, I really hate it when shows give tacit approval to such mumbo
jumbo.
My Tivo receiver died on the night of the last Third Watch. Do you
know anyone with a copy on tape or disc that I can borrow to see the
last eposode.
