Did anyone else notice all the paralells between this show and Brokeback Mountain? Jimmy reminded me so much of Ennis. He even said "I ain't queer"! He kept pushing Coop away just like Ennis did to Jack, and he ultimately ran away from the relationship just like Ennis. And Coop was a bit like Jack, wasn't he? He kept encouraging Jimmy just like Jack did, and Coop ended up getting killed... just like Jack. And what about the wife looking out the window at the boys, and catching them kissing? This reminded me of the scene where Alma noticed Jack and Ennis kissing in the reunion scene.

The line that kept going through me was, "We're the lucky ones," or something like that.
Just like Ennis and Jack. ... :'(

the full episode seems to be up on youtube - the first part is below. wont post all 8 parts as it'll slow the thread down, but I'm going to take some time out to watch it at some point this week.

I am so glad I found this thread on "Forever Blue." I saw it the first time it aired and I was practically in shock as the story unfolded. It was very much like Brokeback and the meaning so very similar. I fell in love with this episode and I downloaded it from somewhere. I'm not sure where. Last Sunday I couldn't believe it when it came on again. I wish I would have known so that I could have recorded it. Like many of you have said the show brought on those "Brokeback" tears. That last scene was something else. Did anyone else notice how certain things were in color when things would go back to 1968? This was similar to a movie which I cannot remember the name of right now. Did you also notice that in the last scene when they touched everything was suddenly in color? I'm trying not to give much away here so that I don't ruin it for anyone who has not seen it yet. Cold Case tends to be a good show anyway, but this episode was incredible. I could handle a whole series or movie based on Jimmy and Coop. I really would like to see this two characters expanded on.

I was so glad to get to see it this time around. I just caught the very end last time.

David, I am so happy you didn't forget to watch it! The parallels were stunning, weren't they?
