The death of Hidoko was a major mistake for this series. She was always at the outer perimeter of the core group, which made her role so interesting. Moving on, this episode was pure, unadulterated drudgery. A shoulder-launched rocket that scored a direct hit on the the group's vehicle should have incinerated all of them. Instead, they all magically survive, and then saved again by a dog in a bad trick, we're taken on a slow crawl through the desert towards what we all know will be some level of salvation. But from an entertainment point of view, why? Why a wounded Deeks who had to be dragged through the desert on a make shift stretcher by Kensi? Seriously? This shatters all boundaries of credibility. Then there's the hospital scene where the cavalry arrive, what, 5 seconds after the assassins are called off? Come on! This whole thing was so poorly conceived, written and executed that it's almost laughable. Fyi, I could not care less about the love affair between angel-haired Deeks and Kensi Bly, and I'm sure most viewers feel the same. And yet, they have become the central focus of the series. Pathetic.
