My favorite The Closer's episode so far has been "To Protect and To Serve." It starts brilliantly with Lts. Provenza and Provenza discovering a body in Lt. Provenza's garage. They talk about it, then roll down the garage door. The credits roll over a black screen. The garage door rolls up, they talk some more, then roll it down; more credits. Simple, brilliant way to start an episode. It takes a good 5, 10 minutes for the scene and credits to play out.
Lt. Provenza has discovered a body in his garage, and he and Lt. Flynn make a decision to temporarily leave it there that leads to the rest of the action in the episode. The twangy music is kept to a minimum THANK DOG. I've always been fond of the show but have been known to startle the cats by yelling "shut up already!" when the twang quotient is unceasing. The hurt, reproachful look Sgt. Gabriel shoots over his shoulder at Brenda as he wheels away a giant cart of incredibly boring Bates-stamping is *priceless.* This episode was seamless. The cast, and their characters, have jelled into a seamless unit, and of course, that was part of the plot of this episode. It happened on all levels.
Excellent episode.
