Day 175: Poirot, Murder in the Mews

As you've probably noticed, I've changed the coloring of my blog slightly. I thought it was appropriate that I change things up a bit with every new show I do. I stuck with the default for DS9, but now I'm picking colors that seem appropriate to the show. In this case, Poirot often wears a grey suit. And the red? Well, he does seem to investigate a lot of murders...

Episode Particulars: S1EP2, “Murder in the Mews”, original airdate January 15^th, 1989.

Day 174: Poirot, The Adventure of the Clapham Cook

As I not-so-subtly hinted yesterday, my next set of reviews will be for the Poirot TV series, which I think we can all agree is the polar opposite of a futuristic sci-fi show. So let's get down to it.

Show: Agatha Christie’s Poirot

Episode Particulars: S1EP1, “The Adventure of the Clapham Cook”, original airdate January 8^th, 1989.

For those of you wondering why I’m including the original airdates this time around, the answer is because there were some significant gaps between episodes, especially in the later years. Therefore, the dates are worth noting, and could wind up leading to talking points in the reviews. But it’ll be awhile before we get to that point, so for now, just sit back and enjoy.
