Just finally got to get caught up with this weeks, that was really great. I didn't see the ending coming at all. Bear fake out was bullshit

I'm kind of tired of the HR subplot. Next week looks really good too!

I just started watching this weeks episode the sick Bear fake out was a low blow :(

Spoilers aren't necessary, the ep has aired.

I actually exclaimed 'BEAR! :ohdear:' when I saw the opening scene. It didn't even occur to me that it might be a fake out of some kind.

Good episode, i am liking Shaw more and more, and i am even liking Carter a bit, she seems a lot less annoying now.

My only problem was that i found it odd that the women passed all their questions, but because she scratched up a photo they jumped to the conclusion that she was guilty, it turned out to be true, it just seemed a little far fetched.

Tokubetsu posted:

Is it bad that at the start of the ep, it didn't cross my mind they might be working a case. I was just scared for Bear.

I must have missed something, i thought Bear was actually sick, and that they just happened to encounter robbers :doh:

I actually didn't like this episode. Midway through I realized I was bored. I enjoyed the ending but I wasn't really invested leading up to it. I really didn't care what happened to the person of the week one way or another. It might have been because she was a crappy actress.

I didn't love most of the episode, but the end of it made it for me. John just being like "gently caress this, I'm out" was pretty great.

I did think it was a funny that the woman lying to Reese was enough for him to be all, "Your life is forfeit, shoot each other and let God sort it out," as opposed to, say, Root. Or more to the point, the last time they had two spouses who were each trying to kill the other...

The ending was great, and unexpected on my part. I had this thought that were it Shaw instead of Mr. Reese, she'd have killed both of them, no hesitation. :sparkles:

That was some vintage season 1 Reese right there. Reminds me of the episode with the rapist where it left you wondering if John killed him at the end.

I know the ending of Cura Te Ipsum was supposed to be ambiguous but there's no doubt in my mind that Reese left serial rapist guy dissolving in a trench of quicklime.

Eh, the rapist was early on in John's new "career"...it was only the fourth episode of the show after all. He was still recovering from his downward spiral and hadn't really settled into his new life the way he has as the show's progressed, and while I guess it's not an invalid interpretation to suggest that he could have done to that guy what he did to the crazy stalker Marshal and dragged him to some out-of-the-way prison I kind of feel like the Reese of that point in time would probably have taken the more expedient approach.

Synopsis: When Shaw is tasked to stay close to a 10-year-old identified by The Machine, she grudgingly develops respect for the young girl's skills in surveillance and realizes it could be the very reason why her number has come up. Meanwhile, Carter's mission to bring HR to justice risks exposure.

Preview

The PoI youtube account is being real weird and making all its preview videos private. It's also got this kick rear end little featurette about the show's female leads, so go ahead and watch that.

I get the feeling the Mexican prison was supposed to be a plot thread, but they just kind of dropped it.

It wasn't dropped, it was used to set up the change in Reese, and to interestingly fill some plot holes.

But she was in on the whole thing. When she was betrayed, she didn't repent, imo showing she has been completely corrupted.

in Many Happy Returns, it's revealed that John left the wife abusing marshall in some Mexican jail with heroin so he'd be stuck there in a fate worse than death kind of way, and they imply it's happened before.

Season 3, episode 5: Pretty great episode. Wasn't expecting poo poo to be hitting the fan like this yet.

I saw like the first few seconds of that spoiler video then decided not to watch it. I'm glad I didn't, that scene was great.

I kinda wish they called in Fusco though. I feel like he should be the one having a climactic fight with Simmons. Even if Fusco doesn't look like he could take him on.

Also, drat Finch, that's a lot of property damage. Also maybe dangerous to be connecting himself to the girl so directly. I know he has a lot of aliases but I don't know how many can have a big enough financial footprint to be reclusive billionaires.

This episode brought its muthfugging A-game. Last week's was really weak, with some awful acting and repetitive dialogue, but man, Shaw is knocking this poo poo out of the park. And how badass is Carter?

Best episode of the season so far, hands down. I can't wait to see how this goes down.

Shawcentric episodes are generally always good, I mean her episode is probably still the best episode of the series in terms of bad assness.

Yeah I wasn't expecting the two storylines to converge at all and Shaw may just decide to murder all of HR.
