All Hope Lost

Cold Case Clues

Are we going to have to start going through the CBS series "Cold Case" frame by frame, looking for clues, the way we do with "Lost" on ABC? At the end of the episode "Death Penalty: Final Appeal," which aired on April 16, we were meant to read the newspaper headline in The Philadelphia Herald, "A. D. A. Danner Fired." Just below Danner's picture was another article headlined, "Another Bush Blunder," with an unreadable subtitle in which only the word "Republican(s)" stood out to me. That looks like a little message from the shows producers, or writers, or perhaps just the prop department.

If that's a message, are we supposed to read anything into the rest of the scene? Another headline is "Survival of the (Fittest)." On Danner's desk is a book with an unusual title. He puts his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania into a box. Do any of those have meaning?

The clues in "Lost" are better. Anyone know what DI 9FFTR731 means?

By the way, Kathryn Morris, the star of "Cold Case," appeared once on "Celebrity Poker Showdown." I think her poker nickname should be "Nine Lives." Get it? Kathryn Morris. Kat Morris. Morris the cat. From the 9Lives commercials. Well, I thought it was humorous.
