Forever Blue

I have been a sometimes viewer of this series and I am always impressed by the quality of the episodes I have seen. This particular episode ranks right up there in the top echelon, and it will be one I definitely remember. The writing, directing, and acting by all regular and guest cast was top-notch. This is an intelligent episode and does not force-feed you the themes. The characters motivations and personalities are remarkably well-developed within a forty-five minute time span. The relationship between Coop and Jimmy, which was only shown within a quarter of the full episode, was also believable. A lot of heart went into this one - thanks to everyone who worked to diligently, I'll be watching out for more!

I've watched a bunch of episodes of Cold Case since its premiered (especially now that it immediately follows The Amazing Race, but this was one of the best instances of writing and acting I've seen from the house of Bruckheimer. The casting, especially of the younger officers, was spot on, and the script and editing, the soundtrack, and the acting made this episode a tour d'force. If I were the producers I would submit this episode for Emmy consideration. It amazing how complete a portrait was made of Coop and Jimmy within the confines of s 48 minute episode; that takes a lot of talented people doing their best. I hope there's is advance warning of when this episode is repeated, because I'm sure I'll notice a lot that I did not notice the first time around.

this was a fantastic episode. i saw a clip from it on YouTube, and i vowed that should it ever show on TV, i would glue myself to the set in order to watch. i wound up watching it with a friend of mine, who happens to be gay, and the two of us cried at the end. this was a truly well-written, heartfelt episode of the forbidden love between two cops who, i felt, really were (in Coop's words) "the Lucky Ones". it is episodes like this one that really make Cold Case one of the most captivating and much-loved works of television magic on CBS. i anxiously await more episodes, and a re-run of "Forever Blue" because i will always watch it again and again.

All I can add to the other reviews is to recognize the innovative camera work, where a lot of the episode was shot in black and while, but with touches of red (even in the flashbacks)- the cars, the flashing red lights- really made the episode unique.

Cold Case did several fine episodes featuring LGBTQ themes- really ahead of it's time- It's Raining Men (loved the ending of that one), Daniela, and the one about the young baseball player -the title I have forgotten- but not the episode.

Cold Case did amazing episodes on racism as well- always moving. The show tackled so many things that we should stucy today- if you cannot find the series on repeat on cable, check out Amazon and see if you can buy it- well worth it.

No matter how many times I watch it ( the series repeats on Start TV) I love it more.

I HAVE WATCHED AND SEEN THIS EPISODE OVER AND OVER AND ALWAYS FELT EMOTIONAL AFTER VIEWING IT. BOTH COOP & JIMMY'S LOVE FOR EACH OTHER WERE SO EMOTIONALLY POWERFUL AND TRULY CONNECTED.

THEIR MAIN CHARACTERS WERE SO RUGGED AND MANLY, YET ALSO EMOTIONALLY VULBERABLE. EACH OF THEM WERE EQUALLY HANDSOME, GORGEOUS, COMPLEMENTE, AND MIRRORED EACH OTHER BRILLIANTLY. THEIR ACTING SUPERB, AS YOU CAN FEEL THEIR EMOTIONS.

JUST LIKE THE BIG THEATRICAL ACADEMY MOVIE WITH THE SIMILAR STAR-CROSSED LOVERS THEME, I WAS HOPING FOR AN ALTERNATE, HAPPIER FAIRYTALE, INSTEAD OF THE TYPICAL TRAGIQUE ENDING. THIS WAS THE BESTEST AND WAS DEF AN EMMY WORTHY EPISODE, INCLUDING THE WHOLE COLD CASE SERIES.
