I have become a devoted fan, and that is rarely the case for me with any series. This then is a comment on this episode, in an evaluation of that fantasy. The character of Annie is obviously the premise that we are to empathize with. We wish to see her character survive, triumph and grow despite her flaws -blah-ba-blah-blah. This episode makes it extremely obvious that at this point it is Joan's character, who's character is far more admirable and stronger, and Annie is far weaker and deeper flawed. Annie folds without resistance to a man who's obsession exceeds the feelings we expected, proves week, and is justifiably unrecoverable. Yet Yet Joan the b-tch that holds the line on Government protocol chooses relationship over the wrath of the omnipotent. So who is this plot line about anyway? Can Annie recover our empathy? I guess that is why I will be back for 12.
