Brokeback Cold Case

On Sunday's Cold Case we learned that sometimes hot dudes in macho professions get into fist fights that turn into hot, hot lovin'’. I know that my favorite Sunday night procedural is heavy handed, but when the dead cop's cop dad all but quoted the best line of Heathers ("I love my dead gay son!"), even I rolled my eyes. For some reason the writer then took a page from the Samuel L. Jackson book of "“Yes, I'’m glad they'’re dead and I hope they burn in hell!"” with the killer'’s paraphrased confession. Just substitute Sam's hatred of the racists who raped his adolescent daughter and left her for dead with lieutenant's hatred of gays.

In interesting casting news: one of the luvahs looked like Matt Czuchry (Logan on Gilmore Girls) and the other looked like the cute guy who's shirtless a lot on South of Nowhere (which I totally don'’t watch...) so it was easy to forgive the episode's stilted storytelling and focus on the pretty, pretty boys.
