It is pretty similar to a 2 hour special; in that you have two not especially related related cases linked together- the total TV time is also 2 hours for both, even though there is more action in the 2 hour special because there isn't the same amount of plot recitation/OP-ED time. If someone had proposed it and others had supported it, I would have had no problem including it.sstimson wrote:What about the "Scar cases.

Clash of Red and Black is a little different, but I felt like it should be include in this contest, given that if there were an arc contest it would revolve around nonconsecutive strings of episodes (and it's quite popular of course).

Detective Movies Contest 2013: Information Thread Current Faceoff
"The energies of our system will decay; the glory of the sun will be dimmed, and the earth, tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for a moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit, and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest. Matter will know itself no longer. 'Imperishable monuments' and 'immortal deeds,' death itself, and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been."
