either heard here (an scroll down a bit, please) or read here:
"Gentlemen, we now come to one of the most interesting chapters of police work, the chapter on forensic medicine."
I speak this sentence with every time. Dentists in Quincy says it bias to the young police officers and raised his while the green cloth from the corpse on the dissecting table. When he finally pulls out the electric bone saw, also the last cop in the best slapstick style has fainted.
This is terribly silly, but I love this scene, as indeed the whole header with his seventies series-orchestral music. It fits this scene did not actually too Quincy: Just as her protagonist deals with the series any body with respect. No cynicism, no shock effects. Of the dead bodies will no longer see the audience than necessary. Funny usually are only the squabbles between Quincy and his assistant, Sam, his superiors nervous Aston, the veteran Lieutenant Monahan and his buddy, economic and competitive opponent Danny.
Yes, the series is old. The collar and the cars are large, the police are actually working only men in the laboratory is drunk much bad coffee, hair samples are compared under the microscope, body fluids shaken in test tubes. Sam paints curve diagrams by hand. No DNA analysis, no computer, no bingo-I-am-drinking-in-the-network-Des-full-evil-pharma company. Honest scientific craft.
And cinematic: zooms do not washed, just like on CSI, flying projectiles are not accompanied by camera movement, all this Chichi today distract from the weaknesses of the scripts, so that nobody will notice that crafty each Derrickfolge and abysmal, it did not exist back then.
Quincy was in 1976, the first medical examiner, the protagonist of a TV series, was a genre was born, one that always fascinated me: During an autopsy the coroner describes the cruelest Injuries with scientific precision. This whole weighing and measuring, issued this professionalism in dealing with the dead body: On the dissecting table is no place for emotion.
course, all this is only the truth, which in turn is not an end, it is to save other people's lives and, of course, we're talking about a crime, criminals behind bars.
Dr. Quincy is animated by an unshakable faith in the power of truth. That is what is behind all his principles. He has already suspected his oldest pals when the facts were against them. He can not help it. It is so with integrity in doubt, he would transform himself. Who is lying, and covered up, it gets to do with him, who represents profit interests above the interests of the general public anyway. He, the public employees sees it as its duty to serve the public without fear or favor - but with a heart for the little people. There is probably no series hero, who was complimented everything from board office, who has quarreled with more doctors about the Hippocratic oath. He is the king of the homily, and yes, maybe Quincy the last major Democrat in the television investigators.
Quincy, a first name he did not, moreover, there seems to be such a special type of man, in which a first name is redundant lead its investigations over the years in the most varied backgrounds: members of the union for Mexican agricultural workers clarify it on the plight of illegal immigrants, he examines cases in the Indian reservation, in 1982, he determined in the punk scene, investigating the dead rider, boxer and former Korean fighters. The books also allow ironic comments on the zeitgeist, if Quincy, for example, deals with a victim, that is never coming to a shady group scream therapy in a hot tub, and the widow thinks out loud about problems of the upper middle class.
Granted, the transmission times in the morning at ten, the repeat on the following morning at half past six, make it not just the fan. Quincy But it has never been easy, nor his employees sometimes pitiful Sam. Insert In almost every episode, the one night shift, because the ultimate toxicological investigation simply can not wait. But Sam and I know for bringing the victory of truth one must sacrifice. Or program the VCR.
