I liked the episode but, yes, these people are just way too emotional. I gave up on Discovery and Picard because of this and other stupidities. SNW is more of an ensemble so miles better to my thinking.

Agreed. I was being a "suspicious bastard" like Sam Vimes. Cynic that I am, it struck me that the man probably accomplished what he set out to do without damaging himself too much.

I may be wrong, but Amell's actions could have been deliberate to generate publicity about himself and his show. Entirely possible that a lot of people read the various articles and decided to give Heels and / or Arrow a try. Doesn't the saying go "There is no such thing as bad publicity?" Just a thought that struck.

Liking the show but really getting annoyed that the woman hardly ever seems to bathe or comb her hair. Maybe cut the hair short if she does not have the time. The CIA head appears to be afflicted with the same bad hairstyle problem. Sorry, the hair thing is really getting to me. I keep mine short. Cannot abide straggling strands around the ears, face and neck.

The main bad guy (not revealed yet) sent the message to the intern (most likely scenario). John had no idea that the intern had survived the explosion.

The intern is a baddie, and was very much trying to hurt John and get the fob away from him. He did not help John in any way in the station / precinct, his goal in jamming the door was to prevent the police from intervening while he attempted to get the evidence from John. The intern was finally unable to take the evidence because the woman (forget her name) rammed the car into him, which allowed John to pick it up and jump into the car.

Question: How boring can a show be? Answer: Ask Picard. He will give you all the lengthy and boring details. For me, new Trek is the worst thing on television. Apart from Strange New Worlds. Hope that remains unsullied by this insistence on creating a central character and boring the dickens out of the audience with infuriatingly stupid family-related plots. So disappointing, annoying, earnest, joyless, and pedantic 😞

Jenkins was the first one, during the opening credits. He said 'liaisoned'. This usage is becoming fairly common in TV and film writing, unfortunately. The difference between 'we' and 'us' is fading 😬

Lovely episode. Only problem was that everyone was saying liaisoned instead of liaised. So many people involved, surely someone could have corrected the usage.

I really liked the Fitzcairn episodes. Especially Stone of Scone and the one with the country house murder.

This show is good but Josie and her plot line belong in some other show. The tone, energy and the momentum do not match at all.

Terrible camera work. Too close to the faces, too much movement and too many editing cuts.

I have been reading Rex Stout, and this reminded me of Nero Wolfe's solution for defective dictionaries in the book titled Gambit :) One of the "intolerably offensive" mistakes is the suggestion that 'imply' and 'infer' can be used interchangeably.

Great episode. Minimum political content. Alan Alda has taken on Michael J Fox's role on The Good Wife.

The problem with Star Trek: Discovery is that there is no discovery. That aspect may come later, but right now it seems as if they have made a 10-hour movie rather than a sci-fi series that can last a few years. The Klingon plot should have evolved in the first season, in parallel with exploratory episodes, and these first two episodes should have been the last two of the season. The Klingon makeup is dreadful. I pity the poor actors.
