So, I guess someone in the writers' room has a thing for injured/sick James Wolk. In the last couple episodes, he's been healthy and/or bruise free for about five minutes of screen time over months.
Boy, was there a lot of filler in this episode! And, of course, the usual dose of stupid. Lame finale.
Months go by with no mention of Mitch's daughter and whether she's recovering or not? Or were we just supposed to assume that once she had the meds he didn't ever have to worry about her again? No, spend (wasted) time on a bar fight instead.
After the cub plane was forced down, the crack team of leopard catchers took a plane without any consideration of the potential danger of a repeat performance by the flying animal kingdom. No one--not even the "brilliant scientists"--suggested alternate modes of transportation or bringing the mother cell and scientists to the leopard. However, our small group of "experts" are going to take a boat. Smart! Until they couldn't think to turn the vehicle around before the animals pounced! D'oh!
And Jackson still hasn't mentioned his mother!!! Maybe that's why he's having such bad luck...bad son.
