In case you haven't guessed, I loved "Dressed to Kill". As usual, the case took a back seat for me, but the Caskett moments were so great, I didn't care.
I loved:
the opening scene with Martha & Kate & the magazines. Kate looked like she wanted to run before Rick came in the room & saved her. Loved the "maybe they're thinking about the divorce rate". Loved the discussion of the venue, the kiss & Martha's "you're welcome"
the scene when Kate tries on the dress. Yes, that dress is far from what I would pick, but Stana Katic & Frances Fisher did a lovely job in the scene. Matilda's wistful "if I had a daughter..." and Kate's face when she realized her mother wasn't there got me big time. (especially as someone who's mom won't be there either)
When Rick found out the first available date was far in the future and he told his mom that he didn't want to wait any longer. (and when he changes his mind....)
the last scene between Rick & Kate, how she explained why she said no rather than pretend it's something else, how he understood why she said no ("It's stupid. No, it's human") how he's willing to give her more time (even after telling his mom he didn't want to wait), but how she doesn't even want to wait until September. And of course the "my mom would have loved you". Even writing that makes me sigh. Then the kiss, the forehead touch, and another kiss. So I guess they were saving them up!
But....did you notice how tall Kate looked when she first came into the room after trying on the dress? She looks like she's about 3 ft. taller than Matilda! At first I thought they had her standing on something, but she wasn't. Just a weird angle I guess.
And the second to last scene kinda bugged me. (the one when the big box is waiting for her) Yes, I am the queen of "it's just a TV show, so logic doesn't always apply" but that just didn't make sense to me. How did MK get her address? how did it get inside the apartment? why did Kate open the card & trust that it was from MK? This was a big topic the other day on Twitter, LOL.
For my sanity, I've let it go.
My first thought when that couple split up so a spring 2014 date opened up? It's bad luck! don't take it!
All in all, a really nice episode. No new episode next Monday (Olympics). At least this Feb. we're getting 2 episodes. In 2010 (last winter Olympics) there were no new episodes that Feb.
