...and the Leaning Tower of Pisa? 😆
This had a complete ending, finally, though melancholy. Noble, yet sad.
Also, being diabetic, I knew immediately what the diagnosis would be once he'd had the milk and recovered. My body pretty much demands I drink a glass before bed to stabilise; glucose weirdly skyrockets overnight otherwise.
Anyhoodle.
Firstly, I really enjoyed the forensic (well, basic medical, but using it forensically) testing for diabetes/blood glucose levels from the early '60s in a country not my own (per se). I found it quite interesting, but also partly reminiscent of the tests I did when diagnosed in Canada eight years ago. And it is absolutely viable; I went undiagnosed for around 20+ years; I had many, many moments of unbelievablly scary confusion and total brain fog. The struggle is real.
As always, loved the entire forensics team actors. And at first glance, I thought Sgt. Oakman was Stephen Fry, but with a slightly different nose. 😆 Megs was his sister; pleasant as always.
I do really appreciate the diversity in their actors for the Forensics Institute, especially at a time when the Civil Rights Movement was simultaneously being violently crushed and fought for in the US at that same time. But does it really need to be mentioned? I think people will likely have noticed without the say-so, or the 'harmless casual racism' (Ting-A-Ling....though I was tickled to see that her name is Jacqui Chan 😊).
I did enjoy this episode, and I understand why he made that decision in the end. It was a very curt ending, natch, but there was no mystery or room for misinterpretation.
It was, like I said, melancholy. A dedicated policeman and minor celebrity/pro athlete...all around good fellow...has a moment of physiological weakness, albeit through very little fault of his own, as so little was known about the serious effects of low blood sugar in those days. But something life-alteringly tragic occured. Essentially, he was at fault, and he absolutely stood up and took his punishment like a man, though he was easily a genuine "medically not responsible" case. I respect those actions, without it being a martyr complex.
Not terribly exciting, but solid. One scene I didnt love was the last dinner between the sergeant and his sister. I did fancy the joke. 😆 7/10.
