At the very least, I got my hopes up when we were told about the laptop - I think the writers missed a great opportunity to tie the larger story in this POI of the week.<br /><br />I also agree that HR is much less interesting now. When they revealed who HR's big boss was, I hoped that it'd mean we'd see a resurgence (especially since I really thought they killed the organisation off in the Season 1 finale). Here's to hoping they can still turn it around.<br /><br />But I think it says a lot about how generally good POI is that we're underwhelmed by an episode that's not really bad at all.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171152477267754603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-65718321254034074682012-12-08T19:44:35.679-05:002012-12-08T19:44:35.679-05:00From the Wikipedia page on candiru: "Adults c...From the Wikipedia page on candiru: "Adults can grow to around 40 centimetres (16 in) with a rather small head and a belly that can appear distended, especially after a large blood meal."<br /><br />And again, in case anyone missed it: "a large blood meal."<br /><br />Sunbunny, I think money is still good if all of the serial number is visible. <br /><br />Wait...never mind. I just looked at a $5 bill to confirm, and serial numbers on money are printed on both the left and the right. <br /><br />I had no idea that TV money isn't real money.

I've never understood that, though it's probably saved shows like this a pretty penny. PS. I'm putting "tremendously accurate" on my résumé. :D<br /><br />tricksterson - Barracuda is good! I was pissed when they said 'Shoot the dog,' but it's network TV. They're not going to kill a dog. Viewers would revolt.

Again. Your review ...Yeah, it was a filler episode. Again. Your review is tremendously accurate.<br /><br />I missed things like Finch saying "Albert" and the fact that it was a billiard ball that Fermin used. I thought it was a baseball, and I was like "what? He carries a baseball around? And does a baseball knock a goon down just like that? And I thought that COD meant only Cause of Death, and was puzzled by the title.<br /><br />I only disagree a little with what you said about HR. They're "de-scarifying" it, certainly, but I think it served three purposes: 1) give Lionel a character moment when he makes a stand, not just pushed around like always; 2) show that HR is almost done, and that they're not going to be a the villains anymore, that they didn't go out with a bang, but with a whimper; and 3) that Elias, though caged, is still running things. The only wild card to be played is its head; the rest is gone.<br /><br />What I find more interesting about it is that HR isn't exiting stage left because of our heroes (or at least not only because of them), but mostly because of Elias. What Elias and Stanton are doing, and HR did, is large scope, while our heroes are worried mostly about small potatoes. Noble as their intentions are, they save people on a one-by-one basis, and most people they save won't matter much for the big picture. I'm not saying they shouldn't, but they'll eventually have to face the fact that they're small fish, and that will be interesting to see. Of course, small fish can still make a lot of damage. Ask the candiru.<br /><br />There's been a lot of comparison of PoI with a superhero show, and sunbunny has already pointed it out. It occurred to me that the show is building a rather large recurring rogue gallery (Stanton, Elias, HR, Root, in one season and a third), and those villains are always working their schemes, can be stopped but not permanently, and have their conflicts with each other. In a realistic context (as far as a show like this can be), this is fascinating.<br /><br />To end, some trivia: in Brazil, money bills still have value if there's more than 50% of it. When a torn bill ends up in the bank, it gets replaced, However, it's illegal to destroy money. Or show real currency on television, oddly enough.Gus Brunettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15554920460249324531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-14804563738581351022012-12-07T19:07:35.097-05:002012-12-07T19:07:35.097-05:00I was underwhelmed too, sunbunny.
