Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Machine uses yellow boxes for those that know about The Machine, white for those that are innocents, etc. Shaw and Cole are in blue because they are government agents acting on relevant targets.
- GoofsApart from the 'cesium' being the wrong color (silver-grey instead of light brown), there should also be much more of it. Cesium has an extremely low density of 1.93 g/cm³ - a little over two thirds that of aluminium. The volume of half a pound of it would therefore be at least 129.5 cm³, or 4.5 ounces. A lot more if it was coarse grains.
- Quotes
John Reese: Can you do me a favor? Can you not shoot me this time?
Sameen Shaw: Give me a good reason.
John Reese: I don't know. I'm a really nice person.

Featured review
"Do you think she'll call us a taxi?" (last line of dialog)
OMG.
Amy Acker and Sarah Shahi in the same episode? Two of the strongest female actors of the era punching out their portrayals of two of the strongest fictional characters of the era, all set against the backdrop of what is (generally) one of the best-produced shows of the era.
How can you go wrong? Answer: you can't. If for example you were to set the first Mission Impossible film as your baseline for an acceptable thriller, this single episode surpasses that baseline by a considerable margin.
And, where I seem to have made it my mission to identify specific episodes of popular series for special mention in the IMDb, I seldom have the pleasure of finding reviewers ahead of me. But for this episode it looks like there was a queue of well-wishers already in place, and frankly they deserve to be there.
For a series which has pretty much "set the bar" for character introductions -- the first episode of this series contains a fight scene which is now iconic -- this intro of Sarah Shahi takes us to a new level of TV excellence.
