Tony & Michelle & Jack & Paul

[ccthemovieman-1 · 9/10 · 19 August 2009]

Well, we start off with the shocker, which pertains to "Tony Almeida" (Carlos Bernard) and his ex-wife "Michelle" (Reiko Aylesworth) a regular on last year's show. It's always good to see Reiko back, even if it's a short stay.

Plus, it's another way for the show's writers to continue some personal stories along with all the tension and action of battling terrorists non-stop. It helps to balance the show and supposedly, it helps with the ratings by getting more female viewers to watch.

The big action scene is Jack and Paul trying to get out the the Rockland Buidliing, headquarters for McLennan-Forster, and then making a stand at a sporting goods store nearby. Even more important is some encrypted code they were able to obtain. McLenna-Forster execs, who hire professional hit men, want that as badly as the C.T.U. so many people are headed toward our two guys - either to rescue them or kill them.

One of the best episodes of the series

[dewlover420 · 9/10 · 6 February 2021]

Amidst maybe the most uneven season of the show, there's a gem of an episode. At least, in my opinion.

Mr. Robot's one of my all time favorite shows. This is very similar to it. As close as 24 could be to that first season that was more about hacking than anything else.

Plus I felt the ending was an actually great twist that even I DIDN'T REMEMBER, and I remember TONS of little things about this show! (I've seen the whole thing already, and re-watched the best seasons.)

I'm gonna end the review here with this. Seasons 1-5 are 100% agreed the best seasons of the show. This gets an unfair advantage being part of that.

It's the second bomb threat, and they didn't do a good job with ANOTHER bomb threat. So, maybe what they did with Season 5 was their way of saying "We're doing another virus, but we're not doing another Season 4."

With the way Season 4 ends, I wouldn't be surprised. I think the show's always been written on the fly. Maybe not, but I remember hearing Season 5 was. That was also the first season with a new showrunner.
