This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I didn't like this episode. I think there were too many things going on--the A plot, the B plot of Zoe and her mother, the KD201 thing, the Henry wants revenge thing, the Beverly has to bolt thing, the Lupo wants a promotion thing.
I also didn't get enough of a sense of doom early enough. It felt like a curiosity at most until 3/4 the way through.
Colin! Did you do a lot of looping on this ep? Some of your lines didn't feel like they had a presence in the space, if that makes any sense. And your reaction shots looked a little off in the first quarter--but I liked your Zoe and
this
is where you have chemistry with Alison, and I find it not just more convincing than before but more affecting.
So if Jack has a thing for brunettes how did he end up with Abby?
Maybe Abby turned him off of blondes.
Someone explain how being blind makes you incapable of villainy, unable to please your wife, and ok with infidelity. And seeing when necessary.

because when you have a disability, you are a better person, sheesh!
I think it rendered him innocent through inability to point the machine at things. As for the sensitive wounded man schtick, what about the whole "all my other sense are heightened" cliché, not to mention the delicacy of...well, maybe that's the problem! If he didn't have the tech augmentations he'd have braille reading fingers and his wife would never leave the house.
Very odd presentation of infidelity there, and the blindness didn't add a damned thing to the episode. Another example of stuff.
Good ep, although some details bugged.
I didn't get why Nathan sent the "anonymous" email to Allison. This is Eureka! Surely she'd figure out it was from him. Even if she didn't, he should have realized she'd immediately go and confront him about it. What was the point?
Oh! One detail I
did
like: The bit with Jo and the "finger".
It's the road to GD that is hidden.
Right! I remember her telling him to drive across a collapsed bridge, but remembered it as to get to the town. Thank you (I really should start watching my DVDs).
The second I heard Carter mention that his wife was a psychiatrist, I wanted Barlowe and Abby to have a shrink cat-fight. Abby can point out all the crackpot methods that Barlowe has been employing, up to and including the inability to say the word "death" out loud when dealing with a patient.
And I thought my confusion over the Stark/email thing was simply because I'd missed half the ep.
Skimming the W&P because I haven't seen the ep yet to say that since the new season started, this picture has been getting a bazillion more hits, including one email asking me if the photo is real and wanting to know "my story." Ack! Strangers!
