Gimme a kiss pike5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The plot does away with Pike’s more fantastical space-vampires etc and is almost truly believable – a smart girl with means at her disposal and an unremitting desire to get even could potentially get away with carrying out this revenge plot and for that the character of Jean is admirable in an off-kilter sense! Sandra’s (Flanagan’s?) version of the story totally decimated the plot and the noir motifs didn’t work at all it was all just so cringe-inducing I was left speechless and disappointed at how badly it was handled. Having just listened to this episode I wanted to reach out and emphatically state that I agree 100% with Cooper’s assessment and hated that pseudo-noir ‘Gimme a Kiss’ vignette also! What in holy hell did they do to that story?! I understand it’s not one of the Pikecast’s favourite novels but I’ve always thought it was a neat little departure for Pike – almost a detective procedural in the way it handled the point of view of the young cop assigned to eke out the truth of that day’s macabre events from the teenage protagonists. ![]()
