By the very nature of Fire Country, death should be an integral part of it.
But while destruction has reigned on the CBS firefighter drama, death has been a much less frequent visitor.
There have been five deaths throughout 28 episodes of Fire Country.
The most significant death, that of Riley Leone, happened before the series began. That event did put several characters on new paths.
As explained via flashback on Fire Country Season 1 Episode 2, Riley had been secretly dating Jake, Bode's best friend. He broke up with her on the night of her birthday.
On the ride home after the breakup, a distraught Riley jumped out of Bode's car and wanted to return to Jake's house. Bode tried to get her back into the car and lost control, crashing the vehicle and killing Riley on impact.
Their father, Vince, was the first person on the scene and blamed Bode,...

“What’s the deal with you and Kyle?” Rebecca asks point-blank.
“You remember Billy [Frank’s old partner]? Kyle’s his son. I promised Billy I’d do what I could to help him,” Frank reveals to Rebecca, whom he helped raise.

Katrina Law is gaining ground on Training Day.
In CBS’ new crime drama, which kicks off 15 years after the 2001 film, idealistic cop Kyle Craig (Justin Cornwell) is tasked to go undercover in the Los Angeles Police Department’s Special Investigation Section (Sis) by becoming the new partner to the morally ambiguous Detective Frank Roarke (Bill Paxton). Law’s streak for playing exceedingly complex female characters -- see Mira in Spartacus and Nyssa al Ghul in Arrow -- continues with Training Day, where she steps into the role of Detective Rebecca Lee, whose past is anything but rosy.

Two episodes were provided prior to broadcast.
Antoine Fuqua’s 2001 Training Day is a cop movie classic. Fuelled by the jaw-dropping (and Oscar-winning) tour-de-force performance of Denzel Washington as increasingly loopy Lapd Detective Alonzo Harris, the film wallowed in the fuzzy ambiguity between cops and robbers and raised troubling questions about the limits of police behaviour and their authority – questions that feel increasingly relevant in 2017.
“So,” thought a CBS executive (probably while chomping on a cigar), “the property’s cheap – let’s turn it into a hot n’ sexy police procedural! It’s so easy! We’ll get couple of hot young actors, some A-lister to play a rogue cop in the mould of Denzel Washington and bing bang boom we’ll be polishing a rack of gleaming Emmys before we know it. What’s that? The A-Listers are busy? Well, who the hell is free? …Bill Paxton? Echhh. Okay fine,...

It's no secret that Arrow has borrowed a number of plots from Batman, which is fine because the chance we will ever see Batman on a CW show is slim to none. In fact, recently there has been speculation that Oliver is creating a "black box" of sorts, where he will keep artifacts for the weakening, or destroying, of meta-humans he deems to dangerous. This comes straight from the comics, as Batman kept a similar box with all of the weaknesses of the Justice League, just in case they were mind-controlled or went rogue. (For example, kryptonite for Superman. The only Jla member he could not find a weakness for was Wonder Woman.)
Another thing heavily borrowed from Batman is the League of Assassins and the al-Ghul family. In doing this we were given a spectacular performance by Katrina Law playing Ra's al-Ghul's lesser known "daughter", Nyssa Raatko/al-Ghul, in...

Rebecca Lee Miller’s melodrama The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee—which she based on her own novel—is told from the perspective of the title character, a former free spirit who suffers a spell of sleepwalking and uses the incidents as impetus to look back at why she settled down in the first place. Robin Wright Penn plays Pippa, the wife of aging book editor Alan Arkin. As Arkin eases awkwardly into semi-retirement—dragging his much younger wife along with him—she reflects on her turbulent childhood, which involved fleeing the confines of the suburbs and the mania of ...
