The Plot Thickens

Warning: Spoilers
One of Jane's tattoos points to a bank robbery, But the thieves seem to have some strange demands. Just when the hostage situation seems to settle, One of the thieves snaps and starts shooting the hostages. What seems to be a normal bank heist has quite a twist on it. This might be the best episode this season, Not only because I enjoyed the twist, But because the characters are starting to show there true colors. Did not see that ending coming, However it has opened new doors for the future of the show. Besides, it wouldn't be a thriller without a mole.

Jane's flashbacks and Alexander's strong performance was, In a word, Breathtaking. I look forward to see where her memories leads her and just how much they are going to reveal this season. Just speculating, But I'm betting that the season finale is gonna end with one hell of a cliffhanger.

A really stupid episode

This is at best a silly show, but I enjoyed the first four episodes. The premise is intriguing, the actress playing Jane is good, and it moves well.

But one more episode as stupid as this one and I'll probably stop watching.

For the most part it wasn't *that* dumb. Sure, the FBI misses the obvious sometimes then will make some amazing intuitive leap. Sure, the dialogue is, as always, bad. Sure, the story has very little to it. But I can live with that.

But the way they are handling the CIA is absurd. First off, the main CIA guy is cartoonishly villainish. Even Dick Cheney exhibits more warmth and humanity. And when the CIA assistant director *personally* goes to a cemetery to shoot someone with a sniper rifle, it is clear that the show's writers have no idea of how high-powered people operate (i.e. they hire someone; what are the chances this middle-aged desk jockey would even be that good a shot?)

Then there was the stand-off between the FBI and CIA. Seriously? Two US federal agencies pull guns on each other on American soil?

I mean, I understand the CIA is the villain in this, and that's fine. But the real CIA has done a lot of terrible things and yet they don't act like bandits.

There is no excuse for this level of stupidity. I am horrified.
