lmfao. i saw Jack taking what looked like a ski mask out of the back of his truck, so i pretty much knew what was coming, but seeing him leaning back against the wall and putting the mask on before he went was just priceless. best moment yet, imo :)
i liked how they're writing Chloe this season. it seems they got a hold on her character where they're building on last season's horrible mistakes. and i felt for her. but the scene in the bathroom was unnecessary as we pretty much were with her when Andrew was being hit. it wasn't annoying but i thought it was redundant and kinda undermined the good writing they'd achieved up to that point.
i wasn't sure about the addition of Aisha Tyler, whom i loved but then i totally fell out of love with at some point last year from seeing her in interviews and disposable award shows, but she did a great job here.
and i sure hope Driscoll gets some depth added to her (and not some lame sympathy push by kidnapping her or holding a family member hostage) because up until now she's been the one-dimensional cold bitch boss. she softened up a bit in this episode but i'd like the writers to add a little more depth and complexity their characters.
10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Jack takes hostages in the corner store. brilliant move. and some stellar acting from Kiefer (but why oh why do the writers insist on making him yell out 'stop!' and 'move!' every other sentence? at some point it stops being menacing and authoritative). but Jack rocks.
i love that Chloe has taken in Edgar on her little missions for Jack. too bad she got caught, though. just when it looked like Marianne was gonna join undercover Edgar in their helping Jack out, Jack gets caught by the police. but i still have a feeling those two, with Edgar still clean from the whole clandestine Chloe thing, will get their chance to help out Jack pretty soon. and i, for one, can't wait for that to happen. i didn't like how Marianne was just another stock female character someone slept with so the workplace was stressful (and you had to look out for moles or a gun in the back of your head) but this is looking like it might be going in a fairly interesting direction.
btw, am i the only one who never got on the whole Araz family crisis? fuck me, that one's too far-fetched, or rather, the writers didn't do a good enough job of laying the ground work, to care or even take that situation seriously at all. big disappointment. bye bye, Debbie.
