#QUINCY TV SHOW EPISODES SERIES#
Overall this is not a quality Quincy episode as it is lacking in originality and entertainment value and I would not recommend viewing unless you are a die hard fan of the series like me. Another thing I found ridiculous was the long speech made at the end by the attorney even after he already made his point by winning his case, what was the point of this and why would the judge allow the court's time to be wasted on this after the case resolved? It was almost as if the writers realized they had an extra five minutes of time to fill and threw that in at the end to compensate. I also don't really like the episodes where more time is spent in the courtroom rather than the coroner lab, and this is the case here. Without giving anything away, at most the only potential crime committed here is negligence which didn't amount to a compelling plot. It's becoming an overused plot and changing up the sport as well as a few nuances to the story does not make it different or interesting. I can think of at least four off the top of my head that centered around football, boxing, auto racing, gymnastics and now we have track. We have seen several sports related plots already where an athlete dies unexpectedly and there is an investigation into whether it was natural causes or something else. The first problem I had with this episode was that it lacked originality.
