There really isn't much to like about this episode. They try so hard to make Kate look like a peerless badass that it comes off as a joke. We have had almost 8 full seasons showing why she is badass, cool and smart- they do not need a whole episode to show us this in such an overdone and cliched way!
The supporting characters introduced are annoying and/or forgettable. Decker is the absolute worst though. Rolling her eyes whenever anyone (superior I might add) tries to help her, a horrible attitude to everyone and on top of everything horribly acted? Are we really meant to believe that this is what Beckett was like when she started out? If so way to ruin an origin story by making her completely unlikable!
This was clearly meant to be Stana Katic's feature episode- artsy shots that make it stick out like a horrible sore thumb and lots of (overdone) Stana scenes. Kate is made out to be the perfect police officer- even though her flaws have been made evident throughout the show and are part of the reason people- including me- love her! She deserved so much more than this!
