TV is a different world than it was.
Now it is not only common for the producers of a successful series to shake things up a bit, it is expected.
I confess I had some problem with the whole "replace-Watson-with-another-protogee" thing but if the writers had to go through that to achieve this pitch-perfect episode, OK, it was worth the wait.
This script could be taught in film school. Perfect. Smooth. Hooks the viewer and drags you along. No lags or lulls.
"Cop killer" has been done to death but this is new and refreshing and oddly exhilarating.
Props all around.
