fenchurchBut first... things I have loved about this season (not really spoilery except maybe for casting info if you haven't seen the first half of the season, so I don't think it needs a cut):
1) The Russians are all being played by hot Englishmen!!! (Or maybe it just seems that way.)
2) It was great to see JoBeth Williams again (if you've never seen the movie "American Dreamer" then you MUST rent it soon!), but she was really wasted in that role.
3) Thankfully, I'm not finding Audrey nearly as annoying as last season.
4) The plot's not dragging!! Yay! They've actually found a way to keep things rolling without it seeming too silly.
5) Aaron! Aaron getting screentime! Aaron kicks butt!!
And now for comments on tonight's episode...
Was that plane landing not the best thing EVER!?!?!! Loved the staging, loved the suspense, loved it all!
Finally, they've found a director who can handle doing romantic scenes... because the bit between Jack and Audrey in the infirmary? That was actually pretty good.
Is anyone even remotely surprised that Miles is betraying them all? Yeah, I thought not.
Okay, now... the Consortium? Dumb. Really dumb. Yeah it may have worked for The X-Files but that's because it was the freakin' X-Files!!! This isn't. I guess the writers wanted to introduce a potential long-term enemy, someone even harder for Jack to beat... but it's really falling flat for me.
Only three hours left... will Logan go down for his crimes?!? Will someone finally hit Miles is in smug little face?!?! (Please let it be Chloe!) Will we continue to not ever see Kim again?!?! (yay!) Will Jack have to go on the run again?!? These are the times when I wish I'd just recorded everything and waited until the season was over to watch it in one very looooong weekend.
