Since I have just discovered the blog function here, I am going to go back and copy and paste my LiveJournal entry from the night that "Profiler; Profiled" aired last week:

SIGH.

We know how picky I am about timelines, so it should come as no surprise that I noticed this.  However, it SHOULD come as a surprise that I did not actually notice it until my second viewing of this episode, which I watched a total of three times (for some parts - I couldn't watch the ending a third time, it was too intense, and Shemar Moore deserves an award for that) (of course, he had excellent training on Y&R).  I didn't notice it until I was looking at the gravestone during my second viewing and idly thinking that it was a little over a year before I got married that it fictionally happened.  And then I was thinking that Morgan was only 4 years younger than me (they put out the APB for a 33 yr old, I'm 37).  And then it hit me - how could he have been 15 a year before I turned 23 if he's only 4 years younger than me??  That just didn't add up.

So, being obsessed with time as I am, I rewound and started trying to figure out if I had missed something.  But no.  They did.  His date of birth in the screen shot is June 6th, 1973.  So in December of 1991, which is when he said he was 15 and found the first dead body that started the whole thing, he would have been 18.

Why didn't they just have the year be 1988?  They mention the year 1991 a LOT.  They have it in newspaper clippings, on the gravestone... why could no one add before that?

Sigh.

Other than that, excellent episode.  WAY excellent.  Made a person totally fall in love with Morgan even if they didn't already think Shemar Moore was incredibly gorgeous.  However, I have to confess, the main reason I was watching it a second time was that the episode was so Morgan-centric I had to watch it twice to get my Gideon-fix for the week.  :-)  

The bad thing about season one being released on DVD at the end of November is that, while I am pretty sure I did NOT get it for Christmas, I can't really get it for myself until after the holidays anyway.  SIGH.  That is soooo frustrating.  I'm going to go to Blockbuster later and see if they have it so I can at least rent the first DVD.  That's not buying.
