While the first four fifths of this episode were fun to watch, the last scene was fantastic. Finch was obviously so happy to have his friend back, yet knew that too much emotion would be… well, too much.<br /><br />As always, Emerson played that scene to perfection.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-67344298804665422192014-01-18T12:15:59.186-05:002014-01-18T12:15:59.186-05:00I liked Holly.

He doesn't walk the line. He is simply annoying. Although better than Mike Peterson.<br /><br />I like the idea of Hersh jumping the ship, but it seems unrealistic at best.migmithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981055611018991476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-82184623564505637052014-01-18T11:19:09.148-05:002014-01-18T11:19:09.148-05:00I have been comparing Mr Broody to Angel for a whi...I have been comparing Mr Broody to Angel for a while now too! Root to Drusilla (okay, so she's not QUITE that... off), and Shaw a less lovelorn but still quippy chipped Spike. <br /><br />I don't think we were supposed to really like Owen, but that was ALSO the point to me--that likability had nothing to do with whether or not he was worth saving, and doing the job saved people like Holly and the random passengers too. <br /><br />As for Hersh (who has been something of a fascination for me since God Mode, and I predict he'll put a bullet in Control much like Special Counsel no later than midway season 4), I think he was definitely indicating his warped concern for Shaw. I can definitely see him being uncomfortable with his basically "clean" death leaving his protege out for possible misuse and abuse in his strange way. <br /><br />Also! in Lady Killer, the Machine generated predictions about the messy confrontation to come between Hersh and Root, and one of its possible consequences was "recruitment"! Since Root was well and truly hooked, it could only have been for Hersh. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v181/Off-kilter/tumblr/Screenshot2013-12-23at24552PM.pngkindaoffkilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17230725151124216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-73207514238751066082014-01-17T23:35:56.403-05:002014-01-17T23:35:56.403-05:00Freeman, Sarah Shahi is an extraordinarily beautif...Freeman, Sarah Shahi is an extraordinarily beautiful woman, period :)Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943327351499919454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-65889127288976550542014-01-17T23:34:27.298-05:002014-01-17T23:34:27.298-05:00Fun episode.

It was also a nice way to get reacquainted with Reese since he kinda took a back seat in the last few episodes. I would like to say that Reese's hair was particularly on point in this episode and I was admiring it the whole time.<br /><br />Probably the worst thing about the episode was Owen himself. His delivery on his little quips was terrible and he was generally very grating.<br /><br />I'm thinking that Hersh wants out and was trying to test the waters with Shaw. And might I say that Shaw looked pretty as a waitress. Then again I'm fairly certain Sarah Shahi looks pretty in any style of dress.Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11265555641080269765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-49699886188474278502014-01-17T23:00:31.783-05:002014-01-17T23:00:31.783-05:00Something else that really struck me on re-watchin...Something else that really struck me on re-watching this episode was the conversation between Reese and Finch at the end. Specifically the looks on Finch's face when he realizes that Reese is coming back. That wasn't the look of a boss welcoming back a star employee. That was the look of a very lonely guy reuniting with his best friend. Michael Emerson played that scene to perfection.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943327351499919454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-3518790812598365542014-01-17T20:19:24.677-05:002014-01-17T20:19:24.677-05:00Not much to say except that I loved this one.

While I wouldn't put it at the #1 spot(I still have a soft spot in my heart for Ghosts from season 1, not to mention Relevance & Razgovor), but it's definitely in the top tier of PoI episodes. I absolutely loved this one. Excellent review sunbunny.<br /><br />I agree that Owen was a far inferior version of Leon. I'd love to see Leon show up in the future, but I never want to see Owen again. I spent far too much of this episode wanting to slap him. Another character I wouldn't mind seeing again is Holly the flight attendant, she was great. Just the right balance of naive and savvy. <br /><br />Hersh's conversation with Shaw was very interesting. It's been pretty clear for a while now that Hersh isn't evil, he's just ruthlessly dedicated. He harbored no personal animosity towards Shaw, even when he was tasked with killing her. My gut says he's not actually thinking of jumping ship to Team Machine, he's just expressing concern about a former colleague. <br /><br />The comparisons between Reese's recent arc and Angel's Season 2 story are definitely apt. Though at the end when Reese talked about needed to get fitted for a new suit, I was actually reminded of Spike retrieving his leather coat to get his mojo back. :)<br /><br />As many fun moments as there were in this episode, my favorite had to be when Reese punched out Owen to stop him from rambling. "Sorry, sometimes it's just faster". You ever get the feeling that Reese would get along really well with Melinda May over on Agents Of SHIELD?<br />Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943327351499919454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-26547825116853497922014-01-17T15:44:09.275-05:002014-01-17T15:44:09.275-05:00Crime!

If I had seen this episode in ...Crime! On a plane!<br /><br />If I had seen this episode in Season One, I would have dismissed this show entirely, since it was illogical (really, no one noticed the gun shots?) and overly cute.<br /><br />Since I am watching this show now, and have seen the brilliance of what they can do, I appreciate the Assassins! On a plane! element and completely enjoyed the humor of Reese knocking out most of first class, Finch flying a plane from his library tech center with a joystick he happened to have on hand, and everything else.<br /><br /><i>Owen could’ve been better cast. I think they were going for a Leon-type character, but Owen was less adept at walking the line between annoying and hilarious than Ken Leung.</i><br /><br />How much cooler would this have been if it were Ken Leung? That Silk Road thing would have been exactly the kind of thing he'd invent. <br /><br /><i>Mr. Dark and Stormy</i>. I don't usually find Reese that attractive (not my type), but he was epically sexy in this episode.<br /><br />And with that completely shallow observation, I end my comment.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.com
