I liked the fact that this one was bit slower than some others. There has been a bit of a re-set and it was nice to spend some time seeing where everyone is and what they are up to.<br /><br />Carter's outline of HR in her closet reminded me of Beckett's in her apartment. Please, God, let's not drag this story out that long!ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-17953441877311352012013-10-16T14:13:07.755-04:002013-10-16T14:13:07.755-04:00Freeman, who's to say the machine didn't u...Freeman, who's to say the machine didn't use the CIA? The cops got an anonymous tip according to the papers, but for all we know the Machine gave the CIA the number, and they fed it to the cops on the down-low, with the cops telling the press it was an anonymous tip as a cover story. Plus, do we know it's the CIA that was using the machine before? I vaguely remember the NSA being involved. <br /><br />Josie, I think the secret to Carter's hotness was something very simple. She literally let her hair down. The loose flowing hair is a very good look for Ms. Henson.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943327351499919454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-48763990393669535052013-10-01T08:44:33.610-04:002013-10-01T08:44:33.610-04:00Just a quick heads up.

In this case it was through an anonymous tip.

It's understandable that they'd want to catch the audience up I guess, but I really hope the writers kick up the pace on the major story threads rather than space them out and concentrate them in the premiers/finales. Sure, deviating from the 'case of the week' format means it's harder to hook casual audiences who randomly tune in, but I think they should start investing in the fan base they've already developed. Get the HR story done with already! They've got a pretty wide and rich number of subplots running throughout and it'd be great if there was a little crossover or convergence sometimes. But hey, looking forward to next week's nonetheless.<br /><br />Oh as for the PRISM thing, I think that fans who went to SDCC got a keycard that basically said 'told you so' about the whole PRISM issue. Talk about free publicity!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171152477267754603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-22855900325836577272013-09-29T11:25:08.491-04:002013-09-29T11:25:08.491-04:00lol!

I remember thinking when that news broke that the PoI writers must be wildly happy.</i><br /><br />Me, too. <br /><br />I agree that this episode was a bit of a downer: I shouldn't have re-watched "Relevance" so recently, as that sets the bar awfully high. But I do like the ensemble feel. <br /><br />Carter is superhot in street clothes. <br /><br />I wonder of Harold mentioning Reese's reason for enlisting was setting up a new flashback topic: childhood. I want to know Harold's (which he mentioned once; it sounded grim) and am curious about Shaw's. I don't really care about Reese's, and can't imagine that it would be relevant. Stanton made him who he is more than any sort of teenage shenanigans.

Loved the Amish beard on Fusco. Loved that Amy Acker is now in the cast and acting all Hannibal Lector. In fact, while the A plot was okay, not great, although I did personally like the sailor, I'm enjoying the more ensemble feel to the show, and that half of the ensemble is female. Is it more than half if you count the Machine? It feels like the show is on the right track.<br /><br />Loved your review, sunbunny.

Season 1 ended on an OMG cliffhanger, whereas Season 2 ended basically with the establishment of a new status quo. It might not have the same flashiness, but I think it was probably good to have an episode that let us get a good look at where the pieces are on the board now. It reminded me of episode 2.03, after Finch had been rescued, a chance to get everyone settled in before turning their world upside-down again. Shaw's proving to be a fun addition to the team. People that thought she might have been added because Jim Caviezel was having trouble handling all the action scenes may have a point, he definitely seems more subdued than he used to be.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943327351499919454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-66800074630013579602013-09-25T20:18:02.068-04:002013-09-25T20:18:02.068-04:00I laughed out loud a lot at Shaw's sarcastic r...I laughed out loud a lot at Shaw's sarcastic remarks. I did wonder how Shaw was able to shoot the Russians upstairs through that tiny window, I don't remember seeing the sniper scope going into infrared vision mode. Is it realistic for a sniper rifle to shoot through a brick wall? It was funny as hell regardless.<br /><br />I feel a little impatient in the lack of progression in the mythology front. I marathoned season 1 and 2 this summer and fell in love with the show as a result. Watching it weekly with the myth and character progressing slowly is probably going to drive me nuts.rebecca_s921https://www.blogger.com/profile/03815688599706633935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-38915449228264328172013-09-25T19:48:57.745-04:002013-09-25T19:48:57.745-04:00Wild guess: Carter is going to be eventually fired...Wild guess: Carter is going to be eventually fired from the police and will somehow replace Reese.<br /><br />Well.
