一半天堂

　　先天二年夏秋之交，天子虽已登基，但大长公主势力更盛，长安局势阴晴难定。卢凌风（杨旭文饰）和苏无名（杨志刚饰），奉命带着由裴喜君、费鸡师、樱桃和薛环组成的探案小队，以护送康国所献金桃的名义重返长安。繁华的长安，卢凌风复职雍州司法参军，苏无名则被授予一个特殊的官职，同时叫费鸡师出任酥山店掌柜，并将店铺设置成全长安的暗探情报中心。卢苏二人推出新政，开启环城探案模式，深入长安各坊，接触到了更广泛的百姓和民生，也借此避开了天子与大长公主的争斗。在历经康国的金桃、成佛寺的哭声、白泽的踪迹、食尾蛇、解忧店等多宗疑案后，最终长安的风云汇聚到事关朝堂的盛世马球案。卢凌风和苏无名，不得不直面这个刀光剑影的秋天以及各自的命运，并为此付出了沉重的代价。即使历经风雨，但他们终究在万年长安大观盛唐，护佑百姓的初心始终没有改变。

　　年代战争题材
　　这个戏写的是白洋淀雁翎队的故事，大家知道的《小兵张嘎》说的就是那里的事儿，不过《水上游击队》的主人公是游击队的队长魏光明和副队长丁水妹，嘎子在里面晃了一眼，只是一个很小的配角，按照现代的人性观念，我觉得让一个小孩子去打打杀杀是不太人道的。
　　真实的战争是残酷的、枯燥的、恐惧的、混乱的，肯定不像文艺作品中那么曲折离奇、悬念迭出、激动人心。为了让戏好看，正邪双方的力量和对抗都加强了很多，而且，本剧中的各方都足够聪明，因而对杀起来就更加扑朔迷离、惨烈异常，看过剧本的同志评价，这个戏的节奏和对抗性都很“美剧”。另外，在创作剧本的时候还保留了一点私心，尽可能地还原历史的大背景，比如并没有刻意丑化日军，对于我军“平型关大捷”、“百团大战”尽量去除水分，做客观描述，对国军在抗战中的贡献有所交代，还特意安排了一个前国军的营长参加雁翎队，做教官。

折腰

 Season 5 finds Murder, She Wrote's intrepid Jessica Fletcher in fine sleuthing form, and venturing farther afield from Cabot Cove--a good thing, since at the rate the murders have been happening, that town would be nearly cleaned out. Some of the best episodes take place in more exotic locales like New York (dead man on the street, wearing just one shoe), Montana (a publishing convention gone horribly wrong) and West Virginia (two whistle-blowers at a coal company found gruesomely murdered). Angela Lansbury sparkles with determination and bonhomie, hitting her stride and then some. Jessica's own life backstory is even filled out tantalizingly, especially in the episode "The Last Flight of the Dixie Damsel," in which an investigation is launched into a mysterious cargo plane that is linked, she learns to her horror, to her late husband. The series' other delight is watching for cameos by stars of a certain age, and this season doesn't disappoint, with appearances by Roddy McDowall, Shelley Fabares, and Dinah Shore--but also some up-and-comers like Megan Mullally (proof positive that the Will & Grace whine was a put-on) and future satirist Bill Maher.
